Council controversy 2003–2004

Joondalup City's elected Council (including the mayor) was suspended by the Minister for Local Government Tom Stephens on 5 December 2003 after complaints were received indicating that the council had become dysfunctional. The Council was replaced by five Commissioners: Chairman John Paterson (former mayor of Nedlands), Peter Clough, Michael Anderson, Anne Fox and Steve Smith. The Council's power was temporarily transferred to the Commissioners, for a period envisioned to last until the Local Government elections in May 2005 (as it turned out, the next elections were in fact held in May 2006, under Section 4.14 of the Local Government Act 1995 [1]). 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

A subsequent inquiry, referred to as the McIntyre Inquiry as it is chaired by Greg McIntyre, revealed in October 2005 that the Council had effectively split in two opposing groups over the controversy around the qualifications of the city's Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO in question, Denis Smith, had been accused of misrepresenting his educational qualifications by deputy mayor Don Carlos. Don Carlos demanded Denis Smith's immediate dismissal, but his motion was unsuccessful. The councillors opposed to Denis Smith's dismissal expressed the view that the CEO should not be dismissed as his performance was satisfactory. Instead, the council passed a motion forbidding Don Carlos from publicly criticizing Denis Smith. Don Carlos became mayor of the City at the next election.
