Great article - clear and to the point - what a mess this council is with just 3 councillors focussed on and fighting for transparency and honesty, how can anything progress for the benefit of the community. Thank god they're there for us. How can withholding this information ever look like anything other than deceit and a coverup on behalf of the Mayor and his followers.
Thanks so much for your kind words! It’s frustrating to see only a few councillors fighting for transparency, but we’re grateful they’re standing up for the community. We’ll keep pushing for openness and accountability. Your support means a lot!
That’s a great question. It sets a concerning precedent when information like a CEO’s resignation letter is withheld from newly elected councillors. Transparency is key to effective governance, and if this kind of important information is being blocked, it begs the question of what else might be kept in the dark.
Thanks Chris for taking the time to share this information to keep ratepayers more informed. Any sign of withholding information unnecessarily rings alarm bells for me.
Thank you for your thoughtful message. I completely agree—any sign of withholding information, especially within public governance, is cause for concern. Transparency is essential for maintaining trust between the council and the community. When critical details are kept from both ratepayers and elected councillors, it raises serious questions about accountability.
I’ll keep doing what I can to make sure the public stays informed. It’s only through openness and access to information that we can ensure decisions are made in the best interest of the community. Your support in pushing for transparency is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for standing up for freedom and transparency! We’re committed to keeping ratepayers informed, and your support in this fight is noted and truly appreciated!
Thank you for your message, Michal. I share your concern—denying access to the CEO's resignation letter is deeply troubling. It not only undermines transparency but also shows a lack of respect toward newly elected councillors who need full information to represent the community effectively. This lack of openness only breeds distrust and divides the council further.
I'm just a lowly shepherd, but I’ll do my best to spread the word and make sure as many people as possible understand what's going on. Rest assured, I will communicate your concerns and continue pushing for accountability and transparency—it’s what the community deserves.
What a great drum up over nothing. Is this what the next 4 years is going to be about? Find opportunities to make mole hills over nothing? A resignation letter has nothing to do with strong governance. More like morbid curiosity from councillors that have little else to comment on.
It's not about drumming up drama or focusing on trivial matters. The resignation of a CEO is a significant event in any organization, particularly in a publicly funded council where transparency and accountability are paramount. Strong governance requires informed decision-making, and withholding critical information from councillors undermines their ability to act in the best interests of the community.
The councillors are not asking for personal details; they are seeking access to information that directly impacts the future leadership and operations of the council. This isn't about "morbid curiosity"—it's about ensuring the public, through their elected representatives, has oversight on major decisions involving public funds and governance.

What other information will these old councillors deside to deny to the new councillors?

Well observed and well explained.

It is unfare from council to deny access to CEO resignation letter. It shows you how disrespectful they are towards new councilors.
Please comunicate my concern .
