The City should adopt the management principles of Kaizen ( then again I am dreaming)
then again it would solve virtually all of the City's myriad of problems including financial.

The 5 Steps are as follows:

1) Sort: Sort out & separate that which is needed & not needed in the area.

2) Straighten: Arrange items that are needed so that they are ready & easy to use. Clearly identify locations for all items so that anyone can find them & return them once the task is completed.

3) Shine: Clean the workplace & equipment on a regular basis in order to maintain standards & identify defects.

4) Standardise: Revisit the first three of the 5S on a frequent basis and confirm the condition of the Gemba using standard procedures.

5) Sustain: Keep to the rules to maintain the standard & continue to improve every day.

Bennett you lost most of the elected officials and bureaucrats in the first paragraph. Please keep dreaming. Order from chaos is a long road.

SMH on all of it. Libby and I have twice discussed the importance of 'Silo eradication' in management and transforming the City's reactive culture for being excuse-centric. From the findings, I have to conclude that she was either feeding me a line (agreeing with me) or that she has no power, or that all those reporting or around her basically cover up the truth and / or in extreme case lie to her, or some unique Oaktown blend of all three of those theories.
