After my last post http://crowsnestpasshome.blogspot.ca/2013/06/june-30-tax-deadline-where-does-our.html
I have been asked by some of the comments on my blog and people on the street
what my position would be if I was elected has a councilor in October regarding
the structure of the municipal bureaucracy.
I will speak from my own experience sitting in that position
for six years. I would request the
following information immediately:
1. Copies of all contracts between the municipality and it’s
administrators.
2. Comparisons of each positions salary from 2010 to 2013, I
certainly have a good idea on what was in place in 2010.
3. I would also ask for a break down of what area’s each
administrator is responsible for today compared to 2010.
4. I would ask for a copy of each administrator’s
qualifications, certifications and back grounds in the areas that they are
currently administrating.
5. I do not believe a community of our size needs a three
tier management structure (CAO , Directors,
Managers) you can switch the titles around and name them what you wish but we
do not need three tiers of management.
6. I also do not believe we need three people running the
Protective Services area that is a luxury we can not afford.
Hopefully that provides some sense of the direction I will
take regarding the issue of what I feel is a bloated administration. Keep in
mind that to achieve any of the above will require a minimum of three other
members of council that feel the same way I do about the municipal bureaucracy.
Note: Cost of administration $4325 per day
