Why is Christmas just like a day at the office? You do all the work and the fat guy with the suit gets all the credit. Voted TUANZ Best Carrier Of The Year 2009 his/her glory all around, S/he must confirm that all shepherds are wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment to account for the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and the overwhelming effects of Glory. Following last years well-publicised case, everyone is advised that Equal Opportunities legislation prohibits any comment with regard to the redness of any part of Mr R Reindeer. Further to this, exclusion of Mr R Reindeer from reindeer games will be considered discriminatory and disciplinary action will be taken against those found guilty of this offence. While it is acknowledged that gift bearing is a common practice in various parts of the world, particularly the Orient, everyone is reminded that the bearing of gifts is subject to Hospitality Guidelines and all gifts must be registered. This applies regardless of the individual, even royal personages. It is particularly noted that direct gifts of currency or gold are specifically precluded, while caution is advised regarding other common gifts such as aromatic resins that may evoke allergic reactions. Finally, in the recent instance of the infant found tucked up in a manger without any crib for a bed, Social Services have been advised and will be arriving shortly. Updated Excerpts From The Workboot Councillors Blog: http://www.theworkbootcouncillor.net.nz/workboot-blogs/ House of Cards Posted by WorkBoot on 21 December 2011 The Council had a special meeting on 20 December. The subject was the $5 million dollars unaccounted or misaccounted for in the current annual plan budget and another $2 million or so deficits from the previous year. You can read the report here The Council voted to head towards borrowing a further $2.5 million with WorkBoot being the only opposing voter. You can read the press release here Comments and feedback are welcome here Two catchphrases dominate Council’s euphemistic vernacular at present and can be translated as follows - “Going forward/ Looking forward” = all is forgiven for the wrongs of the past and we accept no responsibility “addressing these issues as part of the Long Term Plan process” = massive rates increases paid by you Clive ‘Legal Eagle’ Boonham has completed his analysis of Council’s non-compliance with the Local Government Act here. We all remain deeply indebted to Clive for his unpaid work in assisting us to understand these issues. Thank him for his efforts on behalf of the community by at least reading the document. I’ll be working to see this gets proper consideration but remain a lone voice on Council. Comments on Clive’s work can be made here For Best Prices On All Your Phone, Dial Up, Broadband, & Mobile Connections. http://www.slingshot.co.nz/ 0800 89 2000

Anyone who believes that men are the equal of women has never seen a man trying to wrap a Christmas present. From KaiparaConcerns http://www.kaiparaconcerns.co.nz/ $4 MILLION MISSING 24.12.2011 Council has done a check on its piggy bank and found that it is $4million short for last year. To see the Tiller-spin on this appalling performance go here. I find it hard to imagine how Councillors have the gall to front up to the community having made yet another dreadful gaffe. How long will the incompetence be allowed to continue before the government steps in and euthanises this moribund body. ANOTHER FUNDAMENTAL FAILURE BY KDC 24.12.2011 Legal Eagle has written a paper on Council’s complete failure to comply with the requirements of the LGA by not going through both the decision-making process and the consultation process when amending the scope of the EcoCare scheme and increasing the EcoCare debt, over five years ago. The paper also considers the farce of the Segmented Debt policy whereby Council is trying to inflict the whole of the EcoCare debt on 1200 or so Mangawhai residents. To see the paper in full go here. Council is obliged to comply with those processes and if it does not then it is deemed to have acted ultra vires (outside its powers). This creates yet another legal shambles that only the government has the power to fix. The failure to go though the legal processes appears to have been a deliberate and cynical abuse of power by Council and one has to wonder how long it will be allowed to get away with the total abuse of the Rating Act and the LGA, and its contemptuous treatment of ratepayers.

$4 MILLION MISSING 24.12.2011<br />

Council has done a check on its piggy bank and found that<br />

it is $4million short for last year. To see the Tiller-spin on this<br />

appalling performance go here.<br />

long will the incompetence be allowed to continue before the<br />

government steps in and euthanises this moribund body.<br />
