Democarcy
The Chairman’s Report for the Finance Committee foe 1st Aug 19 was refused by the Chief Executive i.e. not to be included in the meeting.
The report is recommends that Staff undertake a Cost Benefit Analysis on all recommendations (reports) to Council, something not conducted at present.
One would have thought that a Cost Benefit Analysis was sound financial practice, transparent to residents and ratepayers and a requirement when spending their money.
The Chief Executive is an employee of the Council (Elected Members)
It begs the question:
What authority does the Chief Executive have to disallow a Chairman's Report?
Since when does an employee dictate to the boss?

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
