Dear BUS: Official Information,

We accept that you have provided some of the information (the reason given for funding), and notes on the process of accountability - while not providing notes taken during the accountability assessment.

We have pointed out in in a separate response that
Aerial boneseed control, immediately caught our eye, as for the number of payments of 7k, compared to number of visits by their private rangers to their private property. There's a disconnect, such that either
WCC is paying too much per visit, or there is appears to discrepancy.
So we will make a separate request for this evidence over the years.

Finally - but we will do a separate request for this - we will be investigating further the rationale, and decisions supporting WCC making year payments of over 30 and 40k to a *private* property - an amount that is not made available to other private properties and private trusts.

Yours sincerely,

Wellington City (Brooklyn) Rate Payer
