The City of Moose Jaw is looking for nominations for the position of Administrative Review Officer, an arms-length role that investigates public complaints related to municipal decisions.
City council will appoint someone to this position, who will look into residents’ concerns that involve matters about the administration of the city, including its various agencies, a news release explained. The Administrative Review Officer (ARO) is also responsible for investigating any complaints about disclosure statements that candidates running for municipal office submit.
“The review officer will be independent and will report directly to city council,” the news release continued. “The review officer will be responsible for ensuring that public complaints are properly investigated and may be required to hold public hearings, record evidence and render written decisions.”
The position will be paid remuneration at the rate of roughly $322.60 per day based on actual time required.
While this position is open to all residents, the role is closed to people who are members of an advisory or other committee that council has established; are employees, officers or agents of the municipality, including departments and agencies; or are family members or business partners of either of the above.
All interested candidates should submit a letter of application, along with a resumé, to the office of the city clerk at city hall at 228 Main Street North, Moose Jaw, Sask., S6H 3J8 by 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 30.
