Know your role, advisor tells Medicine Hat city council
An acclaimed public sector advisor on Wednesday emphasized to Medicine Hat city council the importance of understanding its role as a decision-making body instead of getting involved in city hall’s day-to-day operations.
The consultant, George Cuff, was giving a presentation to a committee of the whole meeting at the request of the city manager amid a leadership crisis that has divided council.
It’s important for the mayor, councillors and administrative staff to have role clarity, Cuff said. He explained voters chose leaders to determine a direction while staff carry it out.
