Future of council's CEO decided

The future of the Invercargill City Council chief executive is expected to be known today after councillors held a meeting in committee last night.

Richard King (57), chief executive since July 1986, was last month involved in a car crash in Invercargill, after which he recorded a breath-alcohol level of 584mcg.

Invercargill Mayor Tim Shadbolt said a decision was made at last night's meeting, but no announcement would be made until lawyers had been consulted.
