This is where the Council Showed a LGA map with only 2 towns in it and listed was other expenses - but the actual listed other expenses, were not listed:
The council boundary map only had listed 2 towns on the map - all towns should be listed especially for new people reading and understanding documents. Page 92 & 94 states other expenses but form $42,102 but doesn't indicate what they are - why are these costs hidden? Finally, I found it hard to read the few pages (sideways) on a laptop- maybe this could be addressed.
Thank you & cheers
Council's response was:
Noted suggestions for format of document. “Other Expenses” is a standard category and there are no hidden costs - expenditure in this category consists of State Government Levies, electricity, street lighting, insurance, software licences, telephones, communications and advertising. The full list of types can be found in the Annual Financial Statements. |
So, in other words, we as a community have to work it out from a different page - which is not indicated, Then I further suggested: 'On the same page, there was no description of what the other expenses were on the same page. Maybe instead of placing lists of other expenses into another page. List exactly what the other expenses are the same page with an * explanation note on the bottom of the page.'
And the response from Council was:'Thanks for your suggestion, I will pass it onto the Finance team for future budgets'.
