South Waikato councillor removed from committee over conduct findings

South Waikato District councillor Zed Latinovic has been removed from the council's Local Services Committee. This action was taken after Latinovic refused to accept the findings of an investigation into his conduct.

Earlier this month, Latinovic was censured by his fellow elected members. This censure followed five Code of Conduct complaints lodged against him. The specific details of these complaints and the investigation's findings were not elaborated upon in the provided text, but his refusal to acknowledge them led to his removal from the committee.

Robert Lee presented Zed Latinovic's defense to the South Waikato Ratepayers and Residents Action Group, indicating that there is ongoing support or advocacy for the councillor despite the disciplinary actions. The article does not specify the nature of the conduct complaints or the investigation's conclusions, only that Latinovic's non-acceptance of these findings precipitated his removal from the committee.
