Solution : No proposal is illegal. The proposal from commissioner to open public

Question

Solution : No proposal is illegal. The proposal from commissioner to open public library in city was a long back decision, which is now on its way to award a tender to contractor. On the contrary, Mayer's proposal to protect the city by hiring more police portal is also in the welfare of city public and should be respected. However, the most important thing is to analyse the situation of city, which proposal is more critical in current scenario to be initiated first. Hence, rather than indulge in any argument, commissioner should calmly talk with mayer and discuss the opportunities coming through by opening public library. He should respect the views of Mayer and tell him that "it would also be taken care because public protection is our primary responsibility. But at this stage, what is critically required is to proceed for ongoing proposal of public library, which was then decided as the much needed in the interest of public, whom we serve. It is also contributing to the public welfare eventually. In the parallel, we can start planning to strengthen our police portal by hiring more and more police. And also, as you can see we have large fund balance, so we can utilise the same for the benefit of public by providing them best possible services. I hope by now you'll agree with my views and we both will work in same direction to give best services to our people. ''

Opening a new firehouse could also be a good decision, but before taking any decision, first we need to understand the current scenario and current demand and then prioritise the proposals. Whatever proposal needs high attention, that should be actuated first. And as per the priority, these proposals can be sequenced.

Explanation / Answer

Capital Project Funds

Through his campaign, the new Mayor of KC promised his supporters that he will increase the level of police protection without raising the city’s tax rate starting from his first day in office. Working on his promises, he read the financial report of his KC city and noticed that the capital project fund has a large fund balance. He discussed that with his finance commissioner and the commissioner replied that the large balance is to finance a public library for the city. The commissioner further added that they are about to award the tender to the contractor. The new mayor suggests that we need to forget about this project and allocate the money to hire more police patrols for the city (without raising taxes) as he promised his supporters. How should the commissioner respond to the new Mayor? Do you think his proposal is illegal? Would it make any difference if the city’s plan is to fund a new firehouse instead?
