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?
