Guelph’s ex-deputy CAO caught off guard after hiring rescinded in Orillia
Global News
Trevor Lee said he was told about the decision on April 4 after he met with City of Orillia staff to receive a laptop and cellphone. Lee was Guelph's ex-deputy CAO.
Trevor Lee was initially hired to become the City of Orillia, Ont.’s next chief administrative officer.
Guelph’s former deputy CAO was all set to become the new CAO in Orillia as of April 14.
However, Orillia Mayor Don McIsaac used his “strong mayor” powers to hire one of his staff members instead.
In an email to CJOY News, Lee said he was completely caught off guard by the decision, a move he’s still processing.
Lee said McIsaac verbally advised him of the decision on April 4, just minutes after Lee met with staff to receive a laptop and a cellphone.
In March, the Orillia mayor first appointed Lee as the CAO in a statement on the city’s website.
Then, in a letter that was included in Monday’s council agenda package, McIsaac said he was no longer appointing Lee as part of a “leadership transition.”
“I have appointed Amanpreet Singh Sidhu as the Chief Administrative Officer, effective immediately,” he wrote.
