What Is It, Exactly, That Vancouver's Director Of Finance Does Everyday.....Part Deux

AllTheBailoutsThatFit

Part One of the CFO's job description is here.

Part Two, especially as it pertains to the CFO's absence from the Oct 14th meeting in which the $100 million dollar bailout of the developer of Vancouver's Olympic Village was unanimously passed 'in camera', was taken directly from the 'Vancouver Charter'. We found the bits highlighted in RED especially interesting:

Director of Finance to report on revenue and expenditure

219. The Director of Finance shall, as soon as practicable in each year, and in any event by the thirtieth day of April, cause to be prepared and shall submit to the Council a report setting out his estimate in detail of the anticipated revenues and expenditures of the city for that year.



And if anybody from the pro-media in this town ever actually gets to talk to Ms. Lo, we also think the stuff in red would be extremely interesting to ask her about (ie. with respect to whether or not she believes each was executed in full).

OK?

Please note: I took out the dates of when each provision was passed and/or modified, purely as a space/eye strain saving de-pixelation measure.
Thanks to commenter Bob over at Harvey O's place for pointing us towards the relevent section of the charter.
