A
This
is
a
special
council
of
meeting.
This
means
that
only
the
business
that
is
on
the
council
agenda
will
be
conducted
this
evening.
I
declare
this
meeting
open
at
6:30
p.m.
in
the
unlikely
event
of
an
emergency.
I
would
ask
that
all
the
people
in
the
gallery,
including
the
counselors,
follow
their
directions
of
council
staff
and
they
will
escort
you
to
safety
but,
as
we
said
highly
unlikely,
so
in
accordance
with
the
Local
Government
Act
1989
and
councils
government's
meeting
procedure,
I
will
facilitate
the
council
meeting
this
evening
until
the
election
of
the
mayor.
A
A
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
a
doctor
to
the
traditional
acknowledgement
of
country
on
behalf
of
the
brim,
Bank
City
Council
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
the
traditional
custodians
of
this
land
that
were
run
during
people
and
pay
our
respects
to
elder's
past
and
present.
Thank
you.
Everyone
please
be
seated.
A
So
counselors
will
now
move
through
the
agenda
tonight.
I
note
I,
look
around
and
I
note
that
there
are
no
apologies
to
mention
so
just
as
a
matter
of
procedural
information.
Normally
the
first
matter
that
we
ask
the
council's
to
vote
on
is
the
term
of
the
mayor.
As
you
will
be
aware-
and
it's
been
a
very
quick
three
nearly
four
years.
A
This
is
the
last
term
of
this
particular
council,
and
so
we
won't
be
requesting
a
resolution
for
the
term
of
the
mayor,
as
in
accordance
with
both
the
Local
Government,
Act
and
electoral
regulations.
The
mayor
ceases
to
be
a
mayor
on
6
a.m.
in
the
morning
of
the
day
of
the
election,
and
the
election
will
be
held
on
the
24th
of
October
2020,
so
councillors
we
still
will
require
a
motion.
Do
I
have
a
motion
to
that
effect.
Oh.
A
A
You
can
I
have
a
second
done
councillor
Congreve
council
Lanka.
She
would
you
like
to
speak
to
that
motion
no
counts
for
Congress.
No
thanks.
Okay,
so
put
the
motion
hold
all
those
in
favor,
okay,
unanimously
carriage
thinks
so
before.
No,
we
now
move
to
the
election
of
the
man
before
we
proceed
with.
This
I
would
like
to
just
run
through
a
few
points,
to
explain
to
the
gallery:
okay,
how
it'll
actually
work
so
when
I
call
for
nominations,
councilors
may
either
nominate
themselves
or
be
nominated
by
a
fellow
councilor.
A
Nominations
do
not
require
to
be
seconded,
nor
is
there
an
opportunity
for
you
for
the
nominator
councillor
to
speak
to
the
nomination.
Voting
will
be
by
a
show
of
hands
and
to
be
elected
as
mayor
tonight.
As
we
have
a
full
council,
they
will
need
to
be
the
urgent
majority
in
this
case.
That
is
six
or
more
votes.
A
If
there
are
more
than
two
nominations,
I
will
ask
councillors
to
vote
and
the
nominee
with
the
least
amount
of
votes
is
defeat.
Well,
not
under
defeated.
It
is
out
of
the
race
and
once
those
rate,
those
votes
will
then
be
asked
for
again
until
we
have
two
nominees
and
we
have
a
clear
majority
if,
by
some
chance,
two
more
candidates
have
the
exact
same
number
of
the
fewest
votes
and
one
of
them
needs
to
be
cleared
defeated.
This
will
be
determined
from
drawing
by
the
hatch.
A
Now
that's
a
term
because
we
actually
have
a
box.
Okay,
and
in
that
case,
the
tied
candidates
in
alphabetical
order
will
draw
pieces
of
paper.
The
word
defeated
will
be
written
on
one
piece
of
paper
and
the
candidate
that
draws
that
piece
of
paper
or
to
be
declared
the
defeated
candidate
so
councillors.
A
A
Second,
counselor
tacos.
Thank
you.
Okay,
second
order
of
nomination
counselors
in
order
of
nomination
I
will
ask
you
to
vote
for
each
of
the
nominees.
As
you
see
in
this
case,
the
first
no
vote
will
be
for
councilor,
pepper.
Fo,
do
put
all
those
in
favor
of
Council

Papa
pho.
Do
please

their
hands

four
over

Everyone
at
the
moment,
my
heart's
beating
so
fast
I
will
make
my
speech
a
little
bit
later
on
and
we'll
go
through
the
deputy
mayor
process.
Now
as
the
cans
as
the
council,
we
will
act
in
the
best
interest
of
the
bring
Bank
community
and
consider
the
media
and
long-term
impacts
of
our
decisions.
We
will
make
these
decisions
fairly
and
without
bias.
E
We
will
uphold
all
of
our
obligations
under
the
laws
of
Victoria
and
councils,
local
laws,
and
we
will
act
in
accordance
with
our
code
of
conduct,
item
7,
establishment
of
the
role
of
deputy
mayor.
We
will
now
determine
whether
or
not
we
will
establish
the
role
of
deputy
mayor
councillors.
Is
there
a
motion
regarding
the
position
of
deputy
mayor
Councillor,
Congreve.
C
Briefly,
met
a
man
too
so
that
we've
had
a
deputy
man
for
the
last
three
years
and
that's
a
really
important
position
for
our
council
and
they
are
really
really
helpful
in
filling
in
when
the
mare
is
unable
to
or
has
a
conflict.
So
I
think
it
only
I
think
it's
important
that
we
do
elect
a
deputy
mayor
for
the
final
year
of
council.
Thank.
B
E
E
E

request
for
