Is this councillor on paid leave in the Cayman Islands?

Questions are being raised about the whereabouts of Central Saanich councillor Terry Siklenka, who is apparently working in the Cayman Islands while on paid leave from his council duties.

Council members - who approved the six-month paid leave, worth almost almost $6,000 on Nov. 5 - could get some answers as soon as Monday, said Mayor Alastair Bryson.

The Cayman connection arose when Central Saanich resident and blogger Ryan Windsor stumbled across the website for Polar Bear Air Conditioning while seeking an updated photo of Siklenka to use in a post about his extended absence from Central Saanich council.

When Windsor called Polar Bear, he was told Siklenka had been employed there full time for two months.

Attempts by Windsor to speak directly to Siklenka failed when the councillor complained of a bad connection, he said. Other calls were not put through.

However, after Windsor blogged about Siklenka's Cayman Islands job on the Saanich Voice Online website, a person claiming to be Siklenka posted on a Brentwood Bay group page on Facebook, saying that the company he is working for is doing good work.

Bernard also asked Councillor Jensen what his thoughts were on Siklenka's paid leave of absence.
