The Mayor of Kamloops says he has launched an investigation of his own, hoping to determine who has been leaking information from closed meetings to various local media outlets.

“I’ve been really working on who’s been leaking, or sources that have been leaking information out of closed meetings and things within the corporation,” Reid Hamer-Jackson said during his mayor’s report at Tuesday’s city council meeting.

“I have asked several councillors who I have not received an answer from at this point. I am doing just kind of an investigation on my own. So it’s not an investigation on the taxpayers’ dime.”

Hamer-Jackson has on numerous occasion called on city councillors to publicly release a number of confidential documents.

Most notably, he’s been calling for the release of the full Integrity Group report, following reporting by both Radio NL and Kamloops This Week.

KTW published details about the workplace investigation that found the mayor violated council’s code of conduct by being disrespectful or demeaning to three city staffers, including Chief Administrative Officer David Trawin.

Hamer-Jackson has been the subject of a number of other investigations since last October’s election.

Those include the mayor being publicly accused of shirking his duties by not signing off on documents approved by council. He was was also the lone dissenting vote on a City Council policy on confidential personnel records.

The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner has also opened a file looking into Hamer-Jackson’s handling of personnel records of senior city staff members.

Hamer-Jackson has also turned over a transcript of a secretly recorded conversation of Trawin as city looks into his alleged practice of secretly recording conversations.
