Specifically, the legislation proposes changes in municipal conflict of interest laws, set- ting stricter limits on what meetings can be closed to the public, and restricting the ways municipal governments dispose of public property. Open process In a press release, Munici- pal Affairs Minister Dave Cooke said the aim of the leg- islation was to "make the deci- sion making process at the local level more open and the || standards of municipal office || clearer and more stringent." New conflict of interest rules would require council- lors, school board trustees and public utility commissioners to disclose their assets, liabilities and sources of income when they took office. However, only the exis- tence of their assets, liabilities Province plans reforms of municipal governments and income would have to be disclosed, not their value. Restrict employment The legislation would also prohibit officials from work- ing for their former employers for six months after leaving office. The right of municipalities to hold closed meetings would be restricted to "matters such as security, litigation and negotiations, subject to the mandatory exemption under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act." The third set of reforms deals with the way municipali- ties dispose of public land. It also outlines procedures to be followed before a municipality could sell land, and covers areas such as public notifica- tions and appraisals. The government will take comments on the legislation until the end of March, when a final bill will be introduced in the legislature. making giving a family affair.
