The Local Government Commission last Friday met with acting Town Clerk Sherry Jerrick and three of the City Council’s Department heads and requested information on the supervision of the city’s drainage infrastructure, garbage collection schedules and defaulting taxpayers.
The meeting was held by a special committee at the Commission and saw the attendance of Jerrick, City Engineer Colvern Venture, Director of Solid Waste Management Walter Narine, and City Treasurer John Douglas.
The city officials were asked to submit a work programme on monitoring of kokers and pumps, along with the names of the persons who are working at those locations, the officers who are to conduct site visits and their designated shifts. They were also asked to submit details of the garbage collection schedule for each city ward and a list showing a breakdown of the debt to the city.
