About this decision

Tillsonburg publishes a register of mayoral decisions and directions following the introduction of strong-mayor powers in May 2025. It includes delegations and a June 2026 direction seeking background work on a development-charge application. A direction to investigate is not a completed application, a grant award or a council vote. This creates a practical accountability trail: who was instructed, what was requested, what subsequently came back and which authority made the next decision. Signed instruments should resolve any inconsistent summary wording.
