Note: Pursuant to Standing Order 1.4.9, Cr Casey requested that
the minutes record her objection to words, “We’ve
had some recent appointments that seem to me clearly political, you know,
friends of friends, and I don’t like that. I don’t like that just
popping up. It doesn’t feel like we might have used the process that
we’ve been using that’s worked really well. At amalgamation we
had half appointed by the mayor and half appointed by the government. We
moved into a really good situation where we had… the people appointing
were the company we employed, the CEO, two councillors and the chairman of
whatever board that was. I felt that was a good spread, and I want to make
sure that we continue in that light, not just people popping out, out of
nowhere, and I don’t like what’s happened in the last little
while.” used by Cr L
Cooper.
