The Mayor hopes to put a lid on a tiff among councilors

There will not be a code of conduct investigation into Vancouver city councilors Adriane Carr.

That from the mayor's office.

An e-mail statement says the mayor prefers to resolve the issue more informally and without a third party.

It says on Friday, Robertson reached out to Carr to organize a meeting with councilor Geoff Meggs to discuss the complaint.

The mayor hopes a sensible resolution can be reached.

Meggs had asked for Carr to be investigated for violations of the code of conduct.

This came after Carr accused city manager, Penny Ballem of going outside her jurisdiction when Ballem quashed a motion by Carr.

The motion asked staff to look into the financial implications of the Park Board's plan to take over control of community centres' collection of revenue.

    Apparently the Gregory and Geoffrey Twins want this to go away quietly. Can't say I blame them. Keep entertaining us Vancouver !

    She should have never apologized to Ballem and the Mayor and his Vision folks are trying to shut down democracy in City Hall.
    If you don't go with their wishes - you are an outcast. They listen to no one !
    They MUST be voted out of office.
    Interesting to see that Mayor moonbeam scores the same as Toronto Mayor Ford in trustworthiness.

    When should citizens start getting truly concerned about Vision’s endless attempts to subvert the democratic process? Halfway through their second term I think many had been hoping to see a bit more maturity and statesmanlike behavior. If anything they seem to be going in the other direction.
