Council passed a bylaw on Aug. 28 to appoint four new members to help form the Joint Election Compliance Audit Committee.
Mapleton council was the last of the Wellington County municipalities to vote on the issue – the other six had already passed the same bylaw.
Jim McQueen, Wes Snarr, Douglas Auld and Joseph Servos will make up the committee starting in December. Together they will serve for the 2018-22 term of council.
The committee will receive auditor reports and reports from municipal clerks about election contributions that exceed regulations and decide if legal action should be taken.
They will also consider requests from electors for compliance audits and decide if they should go ahead.
Positions on the committee were promoted on each municipality’s website and advertised in the Wellington Advertiser.
Puslinch Township was in charge of recruiting, with applications reviewed by deputy clerks from Puslinch, and Guelph-Eramosa and the clerk from Centre Wellington.
They then recommended the members to the county clerks department.
