Bill Gvozdanovic, a member of Timmins city council, has resigned from the Cochrane District Services Board.

“Without hesitation, I resigned from the DSAB,” Gvozdanovic said in an email, adding he couldn’t say exactly why.

“A decision was made in camera that met the criteria for an in-camera meeting, but the item and decision of the board goes against everything I believe in,” he said.

“I am deeply concerned about the decision, but cannot comment on the details. Also, I will not be answering any questions until the actions of the board become public. At that time, I will be in a position to speak.”

Gvozdanovic joined the board in May after another city councillor, Cory Robin, was removed following a report from the integrity commissioner.
