The relationship between the elected officials and the appointed public administrators is a two tire connection. There is the social out of work relationship and this is very cordial and full of friendship and personal preferences. Before being appointed to the position of Director of the Permit and Inspection Services Department (PISD) of Orsan, Sam Santos had known Councilman Harrison. Despite the fact that Harrison had known Santos officially the relationship had become a lot less informal and this made him welcome Santos appointment as he remembered his problem solving capabilities. In as much the relationship between Santos and most of the council members was on the path of duty, they would take some time to meet on common grounds just as friends and with no official dialogue going on. As the case study rolls to a conclusion, the phone in Santos rings and it is Harrison calling for Santos, he is being invited out for a drink and this is a proof of the very cordial less formal relationship that must have existed even before the council gearings. The other part of this relationship is in the official spheres. Each person is on his or her self and they all work in unison for the general good of the country. Officially, there are accountability requirements with the elected officials bearing greater accountability to their electorates and the appointed administrators bearing much of the allegiance to the offices into which they are elected. To exercise their accountability to their electorates, the elected administrators look into the progress made by public corporations and fast track the accountability process. As a matter of fact the elected officials are the ones mandated with the appointment of these administrators. In the case study a number of themes come to the fore so clearly through these two levels of the relationships that exist between these two categories of people. The first that is very open is the bureaucracies that subsist in government institutions. The fact that the elected officials owe their electorate lots of accountability results in the numerous checks and balances that govern the operations of the institutions. For a developer to have his house or construction inspected and given the go a head to expand another room or a bathroom, he or she would be taken through a heinous process that would take months before being granted the safety permission to proceed with the upgrade or construction. There is a proposed construction of a school in the slopes that are also the wetlands, the bureaucracies that surround the issuance of permits and proofs for the construction to begin has taken long enough to get council woman Gregory worried as her election was pegged on the school (Brock, 2004). Administration and politics dichotomy is yet another theme; there is a very wide division between politics and administration. In administration there is the element of accountability that unfortunately is checked by politicians while in politics all that exists is the promise of accountability to the electorate. Politicians are elected into office while administrators are appointed and this marks the first division. While appointing the administrators, there is the likelihood of past preferences influencing the choice of the appointee, Councilman Harrison had known Santos from earlier and this led to him not askin
