MO-4548

The municipality received a request under the Act for records relating to its mandatory vaccination policy. This appeal deals with part 3 of the request for access to meeting dates and documents of closed door meetings of its Council that discussed the mandatory vaccination policy. Ultimately, the municipality claimed the responsive record was excluded from the Act by section 52(3)3 (labour relations and employment-related information) and, in the alternative, it claimed the record was exempt by section 6(1)(b) (closed meeting). At mediation, the appellant also raised the issue of scope and the municipality’s search for responsive records. In this order, the adjudicator finds that the record is not excluded from the Act by section 52(3)3 but finds that the exemption at section 6(1)(b) applies to the information. He also finds that the municipality’s search for responsive records was reasonable and dismisses the appeal.
