A
A
All
meetings
will
be
recorded
and
we
are
actually
live
streaming
tonight.
We
have
several
microphones
around
the
room.
So
when
you
are
speaking,
they
will
pick
up
pretty
much
wherever
you
are
speaking
at
the
table.
Behaviour
at
meetings,
hopefully
exemplary
and
we're
setting
the
time
for
the
next
four
years.
So
good
luck,
counsellors!
A
A
Maybe
I'll
call
for
any
apologies
noting
there
are
no
apologies.
I
wouldn't
think
there
would
be
the
first
meeting,
but
anyway,
item
number
two
general
election
results.
This
is
printed
for
your
information
and
I
will
take
that
as
read.
Obviously,
these
seven
elected
councillors
are
all
on
attendance
this
evening.
So
can
I
have
a
mover
and
secondary
for
the
recommendation
on
page
six,
please
counsellor,
claridge
and
councillor
hearn.
Thank
you.
A
Item
number
three
swearing-in
of
counsellors:
this
is
where
we
actually
take
the
oath
of
office
or
the
affirmation
of
office.
A
A
So
we'll
do
that
up
in
front
of
the
camera
we've
run
through
the
procedure,
so
I'll
jump
up
there
and
call
each
of
the
councils
up
in
turn,
when
you
are
taking
the
oath
of
the
affirmation,
please
remove
your
mask
that
is
permitted
under
the
under
the
regulations.
A
I'll
get
you
to
sign
the
oath
or
affirmation,
then
I'll
witness
it
sit
down
after
that
and
I'll
call.
The
next
councillor

establish

is
happy
to

A
Please

the
banana
royal
city
council,
appoints
a
deputy

for
a

2020
council
year,
congratulations.
A
B
B
B
We
are
currently
in
a
period
of
unprecedented
growth.
We
as
a
council
are
very
lucky
and
privileged
to
be
given
the
task
of
steering
vanilla
through
this
important
time.
In
the
next
four
years.
There
will
be
many
hard
decisions
to
be
made
decisions
that
will
have
a
lasting
impact
on
the
city,
and
I
am
confident
we
have
the
team
to
do
this
and
do
it
well,
as
we
move
through
our
term
as
councillors,
we
need
to
be
mindful
that
not
everyone
is
enjoying
success
through
no
fault
of
their
own.
B
B
I'd
like
to
welcome
the
new
councillors,
councillor
justin
king
councillor,
panaji,
generating
and
councillor
gail
o'brien,
and
I
congratulate
councillor
bernie
herr,
on
her
appointment
as
deputy
mayor.
Once
again.
I
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
serve
as
mayor
and
in
closing
I'd
like
to
share
a
quote
from
c.s
lewis,
which
I
think
is
pertinent
to
us.
B
A
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
I'll,
take
the
report
as
read,
and
it
is
proposing
that
the
schedule
of
meetings
for
the
2021
council
year
for
the
council
and
the
delegated
committee's
name,
the
finance
and
operations
committee
and
the
planning
and
development
committee
be
adopted.
That
schedule
is
attached
to
appendix
one.
B
Are
there
any
questions
for
mr
sestoni?
If
not
the
recommendation
is
on
the
bottom
of
page
12..
The
recommendation
is
the
proposed
schedule
of
meetings.
The
20
20
21
council
year
for
the
council
and
the
delegated
committees
named
the
finance
and
operations
committee
and
the
planning
and
development
committee
be
adopted.
Do
I
have
a
mover
councillor,
janaratni
and
councillor
hearn?
Would
you
like
to
speak
council
again
right
now,
councillor
hearn.
B
Item
number:
six
appointment
of
council
representatives
to
advisory
committees,
the
peak
bodies
and
regional
community
based
committees.
Mr
testoni,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
A
Obviously,
it's
difficult
to
appoint
these
on
your
very
first
meeting,
so
we
are
proposing
to
make
these
appointments
at
the
meeting
on
the
16th
of
december
2020..
A
list
of
those
meetings
are
attached
to
appendix
one.
There
will
be
further
details
related
to
these
committees
provided
before
that
meeting,
such
as
the
dates
and
times
when
they
are
traditionally
held.
So
we
will
provide
that
additional
information
well
before
the
night,
so
that
councillors
can
make
informed
decisions
of
when
they
can
commit
to
some
of
these
particular
committees.
B
If
not,
the
recommendation
is
on
page
13
that
reads
that
the
appointment
of
council
representatives
for
the
20
20
21
council
year
be
considered
at
the
council
meeting
to
be
held
on
the
16th
of
december
2020.
Do
I
have
a
mover
councillor,
hearn
councillor
firth,
so
to
speak
councillor
hearn
councillor,
anyone
else
like
to
speak
all
those
in
favor.
Let's
carry.
B
A
Very
fortunate
to
to
have
a
local
newspaper
and
they
are
present
this
evening.
So
thank
you
for
for
your
attendance,
just
as
per
the
recommendation
on
page
14
that
we
look
to
appoint
the
vanilla
ensign
as
the
council's
official
newspaper.
B
Are
there
any
questions,
mr
testoni?
If,
if
not,
the
recommendation
is
on
page
14
moved
by
councilman
aganaretna
second
and
councillor
king
would
like
to
speak
councillor
aganaretne
council,
king
anyone
else
like
to
speak
all
those
in
favor
that
is
carried
item
number
eight
fixing
your
mayoral
and
council
allowances.
Mr
testoni.
A
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
once
again
I'll
take
the
report
as
printed,
but
you
will
note
that
some
of
these
decisions
have
been
deferred
until
february
2021,
in
line
with
some
consultation
and
submissions
that
will
take
place
as
part
of
that
particular
process.
You
may
also
note
that
I
think
the
local
government
minister
has
come
out
and
actually
fixed
councillor
allowances
for
or
next
year,
but
once
again
there
are
some
decisions
that
the
council
will
look
to
make
in
a
couple
of
months
time.
B
Okay,
are
there
any
questions
of
mr
estonia
on
that?
If
not
the
recommendation
there's
a
four
part
recommendation
on
page
17.
Do
I
have
a
mover
for
that
recommendation?
Counselor
hearn
counselor
o'brien,
I'd
like
to
speak
counselor
hearn,
councillor
o'brien.
Anyone
else
like
to
speak
all
those
in
favor.
B
A
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Traditionally
we
wouldn't
table
this
particular
item
on
a
night
such
as
tonight,
but
it
is
a
funding
agreement
that
we
have
been
asked
to
execute
some
weeks
ago,
but
obviously,
during
the
caretaker
period.
My
delegation
limits
didn't
permit
me
to
do
that.
It
is
a
fantastic
funding
opportunity
that
the
victorian
state
government
has
provided
not
only
to
regional
councils
but
metropolitan
councils
as
well.
You
will
note
from
the
report
that
there
was
actually
two
parts
to
the
to
the
to
the
grants
that
were
released.
A
One
was
obviously
the
250
000
available
to
local
government
across
regional
victoria
500
000
to
the
metropolitan
councils,
but
there
was
also
a
second
fund
that
was
directly
related
to
activating
outdoor
entertainment
for
traders
in
and
amongst
our
communities.
We
have
pushed
that
information
out
throughout
normal
channels,
but
it
is
up
to
individual
traders
whether
they
take
up
that
particular
offer
from
the
state
government
the
funding
agreement
once
executed.
A
A
And
in
a
various
locations
we're
looking
at
doing
additional
lighting
through
the
main
street
back
down
to.
I
can
never
remember
that
intersection.
A
I
call
traffic
lights,
arundel
street
and
bridge
street
and
looking
at
doing
other
initiatives
as
well
across
the
municipality
where
and
when
we
can,
the
250
000
seems
like
a
lot
of
money,
but
when
you
start
talking
about
lighting
and
technology,
it
gets
chewed
up
fairly
quickly
hold
that
250
000,
there's
also
a
portion
that
will
be
quarantined
specifically
for
any
traders
that
would
like
fee
waivers
from
the
council.
A
To
date,
we
haven't
had
a
huge
uptake
on
that,
but
we
will
quarantine,
probably
twenty
or
thirty
thousand
dollars
just
in
case
some
of
those
requests
do
come
in.
B
Are
there
any
questions
of
mr
testoni
councillor
firth
and
camper
o'brien,
just.
A
Just
through
the
chair,
I'm
not
hearing
of
huge
numbers.
To
be
quite
honest,
but,
interestingly,
I
had
a
discussion
with
a
local
accountant
this
morning
and
he
said
that
they've
been
quite
busy
with
a
lot
of
the
other
grant,
opportunities
and
funding
that
has
come
through.
A
But
from
our
initial
push
out
of
the
information,
it
wasn't
taken
up
that
highly
it's
still
available
and
we'll
continue
to
push
that
where
and
when
we
can,
and
now
that
the
council
is
actually
executing
our
agreement
as
of
tonight
tonight,
we
will
really
start
to
push
that.
It's
not
unusual.
I
some
of
the
meetings
I
have
set
in
with
our
regional
colleagues.
Many
of
them
are
experiencing
the
same
situation
where
people
are
sort
of
optimistically.
A
Cautious
is
probably
the
best
way
to
put
it,
but
the
funding
is,
you
know
it's
very
welcome,
but
we
just
have
to
you
know,
continue
to
push
that
message
out
and
just
follow
up
how
long
a
tool
is
available
for
clinton
trades
to
access
those
through
the
chair.
I
believe
it's
in
line
with
our
funding
agreement.
30Th
june
2021.,
I
haven't
seen
an
actual
funding
agreement,
one
of
theirs,
but
I
am
led
to
believe
it
is
in
line
with,
what's
being
offered
to
the
council.
C
A
B
There
any
other
questions,
mr
testame,
if
not,
the
recommendation
is
on
page
19
that
the
report
be
noted
that
this
chief
executive
office
officer
be
authorised
to
execute
the
local
gov
local
council
outdoor
eating
and
entertainment
package
funding
agreement
on
behalf
of
the
council.
Do
I
have
a
mover
councillor,
davis
councillor
first,
mr
speak.
Councillor
davis.
B
I
need
to
say
to
the
ceo:
well
done,
it's
good
to
see
you
taking
about
it
and
taking
his
money,
but
that's
got
openly
got
no.
C
Strings
attached
so
which
is
really
good
to
go,
get
to
250
000
in
the
government.
Well,
congratulations.
Thank.
A
You,
mr
mayor,
the
report
pretty
much
as
printed
just
a
bit
of
background
in
the
previous
council,
we
did
have
two
councillors
representing
on
the
federal
art
gallery
committee
that
was
councillor
claridge
and
alexander.
Obviously,
with
the
election,
those
two
positions
became
vacant.
A
I
mean
it's
up
to
the
council
this
evening
to
elect
to
counselors
that
will
join
the
art
gallery
committee
and
I
believe
the
first
meeting
is
on
the
30th
of
november.
So
there
is
a
sense
of
urgency
that
we
can.
We
can
hopefully
appoint
two
councillors
this
evening.
