Dear Sir

LOCAL GOVERNMENT (FINANCE) BILL

In response to your letter dated 30 April 2010 I write to advise that Council is supportive of the general substance of the submission by the Chief Finance Officers. There is one exception however in respect of the role of the Chief Financial Officer which should not, in our opinion, be at odds with the Chief Executive’s responsibilities as Accounting Officer for the organisation.

I trust this point may be given due consideration.

Yours faithfully

David McCammick
Chief Executive
