Moving ahead, let's just look at some aspects of staffing issues at Council generally and more particularly with the problem with the Council CCOs, namely: -
CCO Staffing, 130 at Tauranga City Aquatics, 48 at Tauranga City Venues when they should be closer to one third of those numbers, i.e. 45 and 16 staff respectively. Currently both CEOs receive around $180,000 p.a. each for doing exactly what?
The same people who control Council administration control these CCOs.
Temporary CEO Auton had responsibility for what has turned out to be a complete non-event on Council staff and systems audits, resulting in a paltry 5% reduction in Council staffing and with no CCO job losses envisaged.
All this effort and cost to achieve virtually zilch! Mr Auton's brief was to do the job properly and efficiently and it is fair to ask what exactly did he manage to come up with as he looks to have failed miserably.
Council wages total $37.5 million p.a. plus the usual add-ons (for operating whole TCC Empire) yet total CCOs wages for TCAL &TCVL total about $8 million p.a. ‘to run' only a Speedway, Conference/Sports Centre, 3 main swimming pools and 2 gymnasium facilities.
There are no savings to be made here in merging these losers, the reverse in fact and it is again going to cost TCC Ratepayers dearly.

180,000 a year is outrageous

Thanks to S Paterson for telling us what I've wanted to know for ages. Those salaries are ridiculous for anyone, let alone areas that I don't think are performing well. I doubt whether the reshuffle will save much long term.
$180,000 paid to CEO,s

That has got to be soooo bad, but of course don't forget to add on the trips, credit cards, meals dinners and all and sundry spending, yet in both cases there is no result to show for it expect the reported $20 million rates money every year into this massive black hole.
What do they have in common?

Post turtles and the CEO's of the CCO's?? It is a good question to be sure. Many things are "common" here: - they sit at the top, they dont know how they got there, they dont know what to now they are there, dont know how to get down, feet are way off the ground and have been for a long time and they know that there is only one way left room go and that is "down!".
