Invercargill Mayor Nobby Clark has ignored requests for his resignation from his council today.
Clark was found to have breached the code of conduct after comments he made at a United Fire Brigades' Association prize giving - which he blamed on surgery brain fade.
The council voted to diminish his duties around public events, due to his health.
Invercargill Councillor Ian Pottinger told Heather du Plessis-Allan “I don’t know if he’s going to listen to the council ruling.”
