Wellington City Council Chief Executive Matt Prosser joins Nick Mills in the studio to discuss accountability of different council issues from the last few months.

With multiple reviews, reports and problems appearing in the council, Prosser offers an explanation to Nick and ratepayers. And in some cases, an apology.

Beginning with the Moa Point report, Prosser addresses concerns over lack of accountability from individuals and the council as a whole.

Prosser debated Minister Nicola Willis' claim CIO Jenny Chetwynd's comments were written by lawyers, saying while lawyers were involved, Chetwynd "contributed to the report".

He did not want to discuss whether Chetwynd, head of infrastructure at the council, lives in the city.

After calls from the Council and the Mayor wanting a refund or discount on the Deloitte Report, Prosser confirmed the report is "doing what I needed it to do", and they have not asked for a refund. 

Then they discuss the website review, showing the council spent more than needed on the $600,000 Te Matapihi Central Library promotional site.
