Economic Benefits - Productivity

Option 3

The resident supporting Option 3 advocates for a thorough examination of council expenditures to identify and eliminate wasteful spending. They suggest that such a review could lead to significant improvements in productivity and financial efficiency for the region. This approach is seen as a way to manage costs effectively while still addressing the needs of the community.

Point No	Comment
1216.1	I would like the Mayor to initiate a line by line investigation into council expenditure with a view to reducing waste and non productive expenditure. It is clear from the Annual Report that there have been funding provisions that are wasteful and not resulting in productivity improvements for the region.
