This Friday the KCDC councilors are being bussed into the offices of Jackson Stone recruitment consultants in Wellington to choose the successful applicant from a short list of four.
Only a committee of six councilors saw the CVs of all the applicants and choose this shortlist. Needless to say, David Scott wasn’t one of them. He thinks Mark Benton of Paraparaumu-Raumati wasn’t either. Guy Burns has told us that Benton is very interested in council efficiency, which in Guru’s eyes would make him unsuitable.
I made a reference to Councillor Benton’s interest in Council efficiency several months ago, but have never commented on the current process being undertaken to appoint a new CEO…Guy Burns
