Waipa District Council’s chief executive John Inglis has announced that he will not be seeking to renew his employment contract when it expires at the end of the year. Mr Inglis advised Council of his decision at the monthly meeting and staff were informed soon after.
“I will have completed 36 years in local government, 16 of which have been as chief executive, and I have decided that it is time for a change” Mr Inglis said.
“I am proud to have contributed to making Waipa the great place that it is, to be part of a winning team and to share in the outstanding results that continue to make Waipa the Home of Champions, “ he added.
Waipa Mayor Alan Livingston stated “While we are very sorry to lose John’s service and expertise, Council must accept his desire to seek an alternative work direction and wishes him well in this regard. John can be very proud of his achievements and that of Waipa District during his past 10 years at the helm. As well Council appreciates the early notice provided by John which gives us ample time to carry out the recruitment process.”
