Ohakune Borough Councillor resigns
Ohakune Borough Council received a letter of resignation from Councillor Jim Goldfinch at last week's full council meeting. Mr Goldfinch is now living in Wanganui and said he was resigning because of the difficulty for him to attend meetings. Council accepted his resignation and resolved not to fill the vacancy. Mayor Bill Taylor said the most expedient method of filling the vacancy, which is to appoint the highest poling unsuccessful candidate in the last council election, would not see the new councillor take up office before mid-March 1988. "It would seem absurd to appoint a councillor with the dissolution of the Borough Council taking place so soon after that date," said Mayor Taylor.
