 <\/p>\n

To appoint someone as Mayor or to call a by-election. That could be a question Huntsville councillors will have to vote on if Mayor Scott Aitchison resigns.<\/p>\n

Aitchison would not technically be required to step down as Mayor of Huntsville unless he gets the Conservative Party nomination to run in the upcoming federal election, wins the election, and then gets sworn in as the Parry Sound-Muskoka Member of Parliament.<\/p>\n

If the Mayor is selected as the Muskoka-Parry Sound representative for the PC Party he is not obligated to take a leave from his position. Huntsville CAO Denise Corry.<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“There\u2019s no protocol in place that would make it mandatory that the Mayor take a leave, that would strictly be his decision. So he would still be Mayor until such time as the election occurred and if he was successful in the election and was elected as the MP representative, by virtue of that election when he was sworn in, his position will have been deemed vacant,” said Corry.<\/p>\n

While that may not sit well with opposition parties in the riding, particularly if the Mayor is perceived to be campaigning while fulfilling mayoral duties such as ribbon-cuttings, Aitchison said he plans on taking a leave of absence during the campaign.<\/p>\n

“I have said all along that if I win the nomination, when the writ is dropped\u2014so when the election actually begins\u2014I will ask council to take a leave of absence and ask Karin [Deputy Mayor Karin Terziano] to fill in during the election. Then after I win the election I\u2019d like to come back and say thank you to everybody and farewell and officially resign,” said an optimistic Aitchison.<\/p>\n

He said if nominated he would step away as Mayor to focus on getting a seat in Ottawa. Currently, on top of being Huntsville Mayor, Aitchison also has a real estate career and is actively campaigning on the Conservative riding nomination. It\u2019s a little hectic, said Aitchison, “But that\u2019s what you do, all you do is work. I\u2019m good with that. I don\u2019t have to worry about you know taking my kid to soccer.”<\/p>\n

If he\u2019s elected, Huntsville council will have a decision to make. Their options will be to either appoint a Mayor to replace him or run a by-election, which could cost upwards of $60,000. There are arguments on both sides of the spectrum. Some argue that the position is too important to appoint someone to fill it, while others argue that a by-election would be too costly. Ultimately, the decision would be put to a vote around the council table. Aitchison would not indicate what his own preference might be in the event that he resigns.<\/p>\n

“That decision will be made by council at that time. I probably won\u2019t be a part of it and council is elected to make decisions on behalf of the people and they\u2019ll make the right decision probably by consulting with the community and asking them what they\u2019d like them to do,” said Aitchison. “I\u2019m sure that there will be people who lobby hard for an election, I\u2019m sure there\u2019ll be people who lobby hard to appoint, but at the end of the day council will make the decision and I\u2019m sure it\u2019ll be a good decision.”<\/p>\n

If council were to decide by a majority vote to appoint an existing council member to the position of Mayor, that vacant position would also then have to be filled.<\/p>\n

Once a position has been declared as vacant, the municipality would have 60 days to either appoint someone to fill it or call a by-election. The position would not have to be filled if a regular municipal election were scheduled to take place within a 90-day period.<\/p>\n
