ILOILO City – Aiming for a smooth city government transition of power by the end of this month, the General Services Office (GSO) has started inventorying properties, equipment, vehicles, and other machinery.
According to GSO head Joren Sartonrio, they would be preparing reports for submission to Mayor-elect Jerry Treñas who will assume office on June 30.
“The inventory report will provide the new mayor-elect a rundown of the total assets of the city and help him plan out how he can utilize the properties effectively,” Sartorio said.
Outgoing Mayor Jose Espinosa III issued Executive Order 22-A establishing a transition team. It included all department heads, Atty. Ferdinand Panes of the Department of the Interior and Local Government – Iloilo City, and Ramon Cua Locsin, president of the Iloilo Federation of Filipino Chamber of Commerce of Panay.
The team will inventory identified properties of the local government unit (LGU) and gather, secure, and preserve all official documents and records of the LGU.
It will also turn over accountabilities and ensure the accomplishment and timely submission of the elective local official personnel data sheet by the incoming officials.
Treñas also created his own transition team that would review, audit, and conduct an inventory of all undertakings, including but not limited to programs, projects, activities, financial utilization, human resources, and directives of the outgoing administration. (PNA/PN)
