Do not support conditions on Council including responsibility to:administer the overall programme of all purchases, and manage insurance claims that are assigned to Council.The insurance premium EQC EEQ levy should cover the claimant from central government.City council involvement would only lessen transparency ie, which company would be assigned the task?  Where would the staff operate?  How would the staff selection process be handled?City council rates would still be required on the land.
