As fare as we are concerned, in our own little world, we can not see anything wrong with the current system, but what suits one may not suit another. We are against change for change sake, if it isn't brock don't try to fix it, to many times I see with governments, if something is working they will pull it apart to see why. I may be missing something here but in the documents I read or I saw nothing that indicated that the system was broken and why it needed to be fixed, I saw comparisons and differences between the new and the old but nothing to tell me why the old system in not working. Councils Financial year runs form July to June ours runs from January to December, 90% of the time I nay know what support I may need to be requesting from Council in November in February. You talked about accountability, most of what we request from council is support in kind, each year we wont know what that is going to cost until after the event, most of what we request is repetitive every year, hence I can't see the problem with the current system. First quarters rates, water for the memorial park, road blocks on ANZAC Day, it's the same every year, year in year out. Then there is the odd occasion where in October we decided to do something out of the normal and requested some help in kind from council the job was completed in January, if I had to weight till March or May to put the request to council it would have been to late, the job was over and done.
