The integrity commissioner is currently investigating a city councillor in relation to the Riverstone Golf and Country Club purchase the city made earlier this year, but it’s not the council member you might expect.

Last year controversy started to fly after Brampton council did a complete about-face and voted to purchase the financially struggling Riverstone Golf and Country Club in the Castlemore area for $11.6 million.

Councillor Gael Miles, wards 7 and 8, seemed to be at the centre of much of the controversy, having been on the receiving end of unproven allegations that she was in cahoots with the developers who owned the property at the time. The golf course also sits within Miles’ council boundaries.

Miles’ decision to vote on the deal was called into question after it was revealed that she, along with other councillors received campaign donations from Giampaolo Group, the owners of the golf course at the time. The developer also donated to some charitable causes Miles is connected to in the community.

But Miles isn’t the one against whom code of conduct complaints are being leveled this time. The Brampton Guardian reports that Councillor Pat Fortini, Miles’ counterpart in Wards 7 and 8 is, the one being slapped with a complaint to the integrity commissioner.

Fortini is accused of breaking the Rule 10 in the code of conduct, which stipulates members of council accurately communicate decisions made by council, even if they disagree with said decisions and Rule 16, which is related to respecting council members and city staff. He’s also accused of stating false claims around election contributions. Fortini told the Guardian that it was an error of memory he made while speaking to the media.

Fortini has made it clear he’s had issues with the deal from the get-go, citing transparency as a big issue, and that he feels the city paid too much for the land. He’s also stated he thinks council hadn’t been properly informed about the $2.6 million (which was included in the $11.6 million the city paid) designated for renovation and retrofitting the space.

The golf course is expected to be turned into a recreation centre for seniors sometime in the near future. In the meantime, the Integrity Commissioner will investigate the claims.
