On August 29^th, during a Special Council session, Council passed a motion to terminate former CAO David Dick’s employment at the Municipality of the County of Annapolis in accordance with his hiring letter dated March 24, 2021, effective immediately.

“Change can be difficult,” said Annapolis County Warden Alan Parish. “However, Council is committed to moving forward to ensure the excellent services our residents have come to expect are maintained.”

“We are fortunate to have an efficient and skilled workforce. Council will continue to support the efforts of staff as they carry out the Municipality’s daily operations to the highest level.”

Council will be moving forward soon to engage a new CAO. In the interim, Douglas Patterson, Contract and Procurement Coordinator, will be assuming the designated responsibilities and powers of the CAO role.
