South Waikato 2016 Election special 02 days to go before polls close.

The CEO said at a full council meeting that the motel "should go back to their insurer" over the flooding of all unites up the wall with a foot of water. You can see here in this photo the water pushing out into State Highway one. Council usually spends $20,000 per year and this year was up around $250,000 outside budget on damage to roads and drains.

The engineer Ted Anderson was away for last council meeting and had Gordon Nado stand in for him to answer questions of staff by full council. The bridge into Tokoroa blocks the water into the stream  and this backs up into the Motel. Council problem or transient New Zealand problem. If I was on council I would put a person under the bridge with a hammer and coal chisel to knock a colvet concrete lip of one foot and free the water. I say the flood is council issue and not transit New Zealand. You have your say in a letter to the editor of south waikato news. We need guests not being turned out into the street at 3am when a light rain floods 25% of Tokoroa guest night accomodation.

You can see the rain drops. And already this is super saturated and threatening to choak state high way one if more rain falls
Lucky we have a 60 Km/HR speed restriction on hydroplane potential.
I agree this blockage is transit New Zealand responsibility but councilman could also stop and clean the enterence of with a person with a letter back and fish this stick out of the water way.
When a flash flood off the hills backs up behind this twig or pushes it down to the bridge area water backs up into the motel
Is council able to spray all this area dead? Or transit New Zealand because the water needs a clean flow so the motels don't flood.
Here is the drain that the motel rakes all the water off 25% of Collson hill where council has its main water supply tank. If council let is water out of the rising main on Collson hill in the direction of the motel this river would run red for the insurance company bottom line.
This is Tokoroa visitors and guests and council humms and harrs over a small drain clean. It's you transit New Zealand the council hids behind. 
This motel has done every thing correctly. The council has not bothered to clean up its act.
The motel pays its rates and asks council for help.
Lo let's look up the road 100m at what council feel is acceptable.
The distinct wide dump sign and 100km/HR speed limit off the 80km/HR speed limit of state high way one. Yes it's council water puddle 100% across the road submerging the give way sign written on the road just before state high way one.
See if you can read the sign mr Craig Hobbs and Ted Anderson and Gordon Nado. This is just up from the motels and nothing to do with Transit New Zealand. Next time the motel floods the south waikato district will get the repair bill and the $250,000 blow our will go to the next order of magnitude because the CEO said to full council responsible for this to send the motel back to the insurer. Gordon Nado did not give a list on bahalf of Ted Aderson of the 50 things council could lawfully do to correct water pooling above and below. Also the deputy mayor drives over this 100% occluded puddle road to get to council meetings. 
To hit that water puddle at 100km/HR because the puddle covers the give way sign on the road would leave CEO responsible and facing jail time for that vehicle going out into the full tragic of state high way one and turning over two passenger service busses full of 100 people.
Tell me foe a communications background is the CEO really putting his skills to got work with this signage? And the Deputy mayor really able to say the state highway one traffic is safe and the motel people can sleep soundly with her 3 terms as deputy? 
All it takes is a car to have an accident and these three signs taken out. 
Then the underwater give way sign is all it takes stop 100km/HR traffic hitting state highway one traffic
Back to the bridge end of this flooding matter below the Motel and CEO needs to get this puddle away.
This tree coverage is council responsibility and running a drain back into the tree area to double the run off drainage would stop the motel flooding then and again now.
is Ted Anderson up to engineering this correction. Is Gordon Nado. The new elected council mist ask 100% responsibility from CEO Criag Hobbs and if the motel floods again then all three need to look for new jobs in areas not related to water and signage. Mayor Sinclair why did you have a private function in the Sports and Event Centre (south waikato news 5 October 2016 p3). If it was private who paid for it? If it was public then council should pay. If a mistake has been made Mayor Sinclair please correct this flooding problem out of your own pocket to do the right thing for the district.
Mistakes happen. And at 76 years old your speed correcting this flooding problem Mayor Sinclair decides the outcome of the election. First item on the agenda after who knocked down love soup kitchens east bowling club and tendered the steel I beam for sale is to address the motel flooding and grave danger to state highway one. Hitting this puddle and crashing into the bridge I would say the CEO goes to jail for manslaughter at worst. Let's get the horror kilometre of flooding, that we enter Tokoroa from the north, cleaned up with a clear drain by the bridge. Who is a good deputy mayor of the 26 candidates to ensure the flooding never happens again. Who is the best mayor to clean this food up. It had been here for the past decade what would change?
