It'll be another tense day at the Gore District Council today as the stoush between the Mayor, councillors and the chief executive heats up.
24-year-old Mayor Ben Bell and long-standing chief executive Stephen Parry have been at odds for months.
Most councillors have sided with the chief executive, indicating they want the Mayor gone.
Councillors will consider three options in an extraordinary meeting on Tuesday: a vote of no confidence in the Mayor, a removal of the Mayor from all committees, or intervention from the Local Government Minister.
RNZ Otago-Southland reporter Timothy Brown has been following the developments and spoke with Corin Dann.
