Work on municipality buildings will commence after the city council’s administration would have been “straightened out” according to the Mayor of Georgetown Hamilton Green.
The first effort in this regard unfolded at City Hall when the acting Town Clerk Carol Sooba was sent on administrative leave close to a week ago.
While city markets and other municipality buildings are in a dilapidated state, there must be good officers to monitor operations concerning these buildings, Green emphasised.
According to Green, the council cannot afford the rehabilitation of these buildings, and fundraisers to facilitate repairs had been hindered by the Local government and their placement of Sooba as Town Clerk.
The Mayor had indicated that with the involvement of the then Minister of Local Government, Norman Whittaker, Sooba had been ignoring every decision and proposal made by the council.
The Mayor had told this publication that “the decisions of the Mayor and Councilors were being challenged by the Town Clerk and Local Government.”
He said that the Municipality does not have the funds to facilitate works, due to the Local Government’s denial of funds to maintain various facilities.
He said too that, the government continuously denied the council every opportunity to raise money, and no organization can be effective without management. He explained that the monies that would have been earned by these fund-raisers would have contributed to the maintenance of municipality-related facilities.
Now, with Sooba’s inability to hinder the progress of City Council, the Mayor is optimistic that there would be improvements. He noted that while the administration is being sorted out, the council has been responding to the various clean-up campaigns around the city.
