Medicine Hat mayor stripped of powers and pay by city council

Council found that Linnsie Clark breached the city’s code of conduct bylaw in her treatment of the city manager at a council meeting last year. The mayor of Medicine Hat was stripped of powers and pay at a special meeting of city council Thursday.

According to a statement published on the city's website, council found that Clark failed to treat the city manager with "courtesy, dignity and respect" during their exchange at the meeting on Aug. 21, 2023. In a Facebook post, Medicine Hat Mayor Linnsie Clark wrote that she 'fundamentally disagrees' with council's decision to reprimand her.

"I ran on a platform of change for the citizens of Medicine Hat who were concerned about administrative overreach and poor governance at city hall. I stand by those principles. I believe holding the city's administration to account is the role of council," Clark's statement said.
