Staff Usurping Council Role

Read the Agendas and Minutes for any Council meeting to see how and when staff conspire to cause dysfunction by providing misleading advice for the purpose of causing Council to exclude community and or gain a staff power contradicted in the Local Government Act.

Policy is a good example of where staff openly pervert the “Rule of Law” to usurp a power over Council. – Policy is written by staff to benefit staff. Staff versions are pushed to Council while staff use there access to council to denigrate and exclude any community or other external independent advice. Policy is applied by staff and enforced by staff. And in the April Agenda and Minutes, staff are further seeking to exclude community or council oversight of Local Government Policy by manipulating Council advisory committees and their charters.
