Search starts for new top municipal mandarin<\/b><\/i>

\n
\nLaval has signed a five-year contract with lawyer and conflict resolution expert Nadine Mailloux to serve as ombudsman for Quebec\u2019s third-largest city.<\/p>\n

According to city spokeswoman Nadine Lussier, Mailloux\u2014who hitherto served as ombudsman for CSSS Jeanne-Mance in Montreal\u2014will start her new job Sept 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be a city council meeting that evening, so she will probably probably be introduced to the public on that occasion,\u201d Lussier told The Suburban. <\/i>She said that Mailloux is currently on vacation and unavailable for interview.<\/p>\n

The post has been vacant since former Mayor Alexandre Duplessis moved to oust her predecessor, Diane Lemelin, at the Jan. 14 city council meeting.<\/p>\n

A week earlier, Lemelin had issued a report alleging \u201csystematic violations\u201d of the law at city hall. A senior civil servant subsequently told The Suburban<\/i> that top civil servants had attempted to compromise the ombudsman\u2019s independence by placing the office under the authority of the city\u2019s director general Ga\u00eatan Turbide.<\/p>\n

Duplessis, Turbide and his deputy, Jean Roberge, have all since resigned.<\/p>\n

Duplessis quit after he complained to police that two sex trade workers had tried to extort him. He was succeded as interim mayor by Martine Beaugrand.<\/p>\n

Turbide and Roberge packed it in after high-profile accusations surfaced earlier this summer that the pair had participated in shady dealings at city hall.<\/p>\n

Their departure came two days after the provincially appointed commission that oversees Laval announced that the city had hired Pierre Brochet to succeed Jean-Pierre Gariepy as police chief.<\/p>\n

Although Gariepy had told reporters, April 5, that he planned to step down at the end of the year, the municipal commission\u2019s decision means that he will depart at the end of August, so Brochet can take over the reins, Sept. 1.<\/p>\n

Now, the search is on to fill the positions that Turbide and Roberge vacated.<\/p>\n

\u201cA search for successors will start in the near future to replace at least one of those individuals,\u201d municipal commission spokeswoman Sylvia Morin told The Suburban.<\/i> \u201cWhether the process will be complete by [the upcoming municipal election on] Nov. 3 remains unclear.\u201d<\/p>\n

She explained that the city engages a professional headhunter to conduct executive searches, and that candidates are interviewed by an independent selection team.<\/p>\n

The independent selection committee to identify a new police chief comprised five members, she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey included Marie Gagnon, who heads the police academy in Nicolet; a retired S\u00fbret\u00e9 du Quebec (SQ) deputy chief who had headed criminal investigations; the headhunter and former SQ chief Florent Gagn\u00e9, who now heads the municipal commission,\u201d Morin said.<\/p>\n

The municipal commission has controlled all Laval\u2019s municipal hiring and firing since June 3, when Quebec City placed the city under trusteeship.<\/p>\n
