End of a double life
PA Napier A Hawke’s Bay local government official was able to lay a double life to rest this week. More than three years ago, the Napier City Council’s secretary, Mr Trevor Bates, recommended the council charge the Catchment Board $4OO airspace rental for an overpass between two buildings. But the Hawke’s Bay Catchment Board disputed the pro-
posed charge and when Mr Bates later became general manager of the Catchment Board, he was left to fight the council’s unreasonable demands. Fortunately Mr Bates was able to report to the board this week that the double-edged dispute was at an end.
The council had dropped its demands and agreed on a “lease in perpetuity for a peppercorn rental,” he said.
