## Notes

[edit]

1. ^ In March 2024, Clark was stripped of her mayoral powers under the Municipal Government Act, for violating the city's code of conduct by not treating the city manager with dignity and respect during a 2023 council meeting. The next municipal election is not until 2025, hence she will maintain her position but with reduced pay and restrictions on her ability to interact with the city administration.
