Dear Councillor Carroll:
Re: Sponsored Travel provided by Nomad Films for Your Trip to New York City; May 29-30, 2019
Thank you for providing me with a Travel Declaration Form for the above-noted trip. In my view, the travel related benefits you have disclosed are in compliance with section (f) of Article IV (Gifts and Benefits) of the Code of Conduct for Members of Council as travel was sponsored by Nomad Films for an event that you attended in your official capacity as City Councillor.
I form this view based on my review of:
1. the Travel Declaration Form dated August 6, 2019; 2. an email invitation from Mark Johnston, Executive Producer; 3. an invoice outlining the costs of the flight; 4. an invoice outlining the costs of the hotel; 5. receipts outlining the costs of the ground transportation; 6. a cheque indicating the reimbursement for the ground transportation; and, 7. a search of the lobbyist registry confirming that the travel sponsor, Nomad Films, is not a registered lobbyist or a client of a registered lobbyist.
This letter, the Travel Declaration Form, and attached supporting material will be posted on the Integrity Commissioner's website, toronto.ca/integrity, in accordance with the Code of Conduct for Members of Council.
Please keep in mind that I encourage all members of Council to seek advice on whether the event is suitable as a recognized exception under Article IV (Gifts and Benefits) of the Code of Conduct for Members of Council upon receipt of an invitation for travel sponsored by a third party.
416-392-3826 | [email protected] | Twitter: @TO_Integrity | Web: www.toronto.ca/integrity If you have any questions about the disclosure of gifts and benefits, please do not hesitate to contact this Office.
Yours truly,
Valerie Jepson Integrity Commissioner
