NOTES ON THE DISCUSSIONS

As will become clear as you read through, the transcripts show that people have very different understandings and interpretations of the meaning and precedence of rules and regulations set by the Letters Patent and Local Government Act (emphasis added below):

  • Letters Patent: one purpose of the AGM is “to have the landowners choose an auditor for the ensuing year”
  • LGA 692 (1): “An improvement district board must appoint an auditor…”

One interpretation is that the landowners choose the auditor, which the board then formally appoints; another is that the board decides on a list of candidate auditors which is then presented to the landholders so that they can choose between them. Clearly far more power and authority resides with the landholders if they have the right to independently choose the auditor.
