Dear Editor,
Something is seriously wrong with the attempted termination of two of the city’s garbage collection contractors, Cevons Waste Management and Dartmouth Skips by the acting Town Clerk.
As I understand it, the Mayor and City Council has three contractors responsible for the collection of garbage; Cevons Waste Management, Dartmouth Skips and Puran Bros, but according to the news, the acting Town Clerk has been attempting to terminate the service of both Cevons Waste Management and Dartmouth Skips. Puran Bros continues to work without any problem.
If, as it is claimed, that Cevons Waste Management, Dartmouth Skips and Puran Bros contracts have expired, then why attempt to terminate the service of two and not all. More than that, the Mayor and Councillors said they knew nothing about this attempt, neither did they authorized the Town Clerk acting to take such action. What is really going on at the City Council? Who is giving the acting Town Clerk orders? What is her role to the City?
Perhaps, the action by the Minister of Local Government to hand pick her for the position, says it all.
Perhaps, she is taking orders from the Minister and not the Council.
This is a good case of the tail wagging the dog. The Council needs to get its act together and determine who really is in charge. Citizens voted for Councillors who would properly represent them. They should not have a Clerk, whether the Town Clerk or any other Clerk, forcing decisions upon them that they know are not the best for the City.
At the end of the day, the buck stops at the Mayor. Come on Mr. Hamilton Green, you can do better than that, take control of the Council and help citizens be healthy, comfortable and safe.
