Housekeeping
Internal housekeeping also came under scrutiny at the estimates meeting. Cr Doug Bennett said the budget sums of $7200 for cleaning of council offices and $14,400 for electricity were too high. "There's got to be a bit of self discipline around here," he said. Later in the meeting when wages and salaries were discussed Cr Dave Griffiths appealed for a fragal approach by staff.
"My one request," he said, "is for the administration to keep things tight. This would be very much appreciated." Later the rural councillors' concern over housekeeping costs came up again when someone joked about the cost of heating sausage rolls for supper.
