In his 16 July column Bill Faulkner touched on the resignation of Council CEO Stephen Town and the fact that his salary was set by elected members with the help of 'external professional advice”. Therein lies the problem of what are grossly inflated salaries of all sorts of CEO's in this country. To find the true value of the Tauranga City Council CEO position the job should be put out to tender.
