It's been 2 years since דובי שפלר Dovi Shifler took over as Mayor of Efrat. and we have a sort of a ceasefire on almost all of our borders (for the time being).
A good time to ask a few relevant questions - at least in connection with some of the issues which are imprtant to us and which we tried to promote when we were on the council:
1) Why has the Mayor not hired a full-time employee General Counsel for the Municipality, and instead continues to retain Mr. Akiva Sylvetsky as town GC, despite the fact that he has been in this position for around 20 years (and which his predecessor law firm held for many years prior to that)?
2) Why hasn't the Mayor made significant changes at the head of the Security Department, when he knows full well that there are serious deficiencies there?
3) Why hasn't the מועצה מקומית אפרת Efrat Municipality published enforcement policies for violations of municipal ordinances, as it is required to?
4) Why hasn't the מועצה מקומית אפרת Efrat Municipality published the protocols of the Donations Committee as it is required to?
The above are just a few of the items we were working on during the last term of the Municipal council and which no one else on the current council seems to have addressed in the intervening 2 years since it was sworn in. So we thought we'd note this.
Thank you for your attention to the matter.
