Mayor Patricia Chase-Green has put staff of the City Engineer’s Department on notice that the City Council would not tolerate inefficiency and laziness.
“I think it’s time people start going home. We cannot allow… people to sit down for a second year in important offices and not do their work,” Chase-Green stressed during the city council’s statutory meeting on Monday.
She said that she is prepared to send home staff once the recommendation is brought before the full council.
According to the mayor, based on reports from councillors and the city’s Human Resources Department, the attitude of the staff in the City Engineer’s Department is intolerable. She cited complaints of poor customer service and officers being “lazy” and not acting on complaints made by city residents.
