I understand that implementation of the new regime for city and county managers will require legislation. As part of the overall reform of local government, it is my intention that the new system will be in place before any future appointments as city or county manager are made. My Department is currently examining the legal and practical aspects of the changes required and I will bring forward legislative proposals as soon as possible.
