Board of Metro Vancouver’s CAO tight-lipped about status, cost of ‘leak’ investigation
The Chief Administrative Officer of Metro Vancouver, Jerry Dobrovolny, addressed the investigation into a leaked document, stating that concerns about law violations are central to the inquiry.
Jerry Dobrovolny, the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of Metro Vancouver, recently made statements regarding the investigation into a leak that has created turmoil within the organization's leadership. This investigation was initiated following a report by Global News, which indicated chaos in the management of Metro Vancouver. The board expressed the possibility of hiring a private investigator to delve into the circumstances surrounding the leak, although Dobrovolny refrained from confirming these details.
During a Vancouver Board of Trade meeting, Dobrovolny emphasized that the situation should not simply be termed a 'leak,' as there may be legal implications involved. He noted the importance of adhering to laws and regulations, further asserting that taxpayers should be concerned about any misuse of public funds in this inquiry. Despite the board's intent to enhance transparency in the organization, he acknowledged that this process has incurred significant costs.
The CAO's reluctance to provide specific details about the investigation or the potential financial implications highlights the ongoing tension within Metro Vancouver's leadership. The mention of sizable expenses associated with the pursuit of a clearer understanding of the organizational structure raises questions about accountability and governance in local agencies. As the investigation unfolds, the community will be watching closely to see how these issues are addressed and what implications they might have for public trust in the administration.
