Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Council
hamel
is
on
his
way
he's
currently
stuck
on
a
state
controlled
road.
We
have
several
start
items
this
morning,
so
at
the
moment
I
have
the
confirmation
minutes.
Starred,
the
forward
planning
schedule,
the
operational
plan,
progress
report,
the
monthly
financial
report,
the
beneficial
enterprise
policy,
the
community
grants
report
and
I'd
like
to
unstar
7.1,
and
it's
been
suggested.
We
might
start
6.7.
A
So
is
everybody
happy
with
that?
As
for
the
start,
items
so
moved
by
councillor
pauline
young
seconded
by
councillor,
brooke
patterson,
so
we'll
take
the
vote
on
that
all
in
favor
carried
so
we'll
leave
the
attendance
and
apologies
until
a
little
bit
later,
just
to
see
where
we're
at
with
councillor
hamill.
There
are
no
conflicts
of
interest,
so
that
leaves
us
with
the
draft
integrated
planning
framework.
B
Thank
you.
So
I
know
that
this
item
has
been
previously
discussed
by
councillors.
So
what
I'll
take
you
through
and
the
the
item's?
B
Obviously
there
for
your
information
I'll,
take
you
through
the
integrated
planning
framework,
the
work
that's
been
done
to
date
and
where
to
from
here
so
in
terms
of
the
framework,
this
presentation
will
give
you
a
bit
of
an
overview
of
the
work
that
has
been
completed,
an
update
on
next
steps,
as
I
discussed
earlier,
but
in
terms
of
the
framework
itself,
I'd
really
like
to
start
with
the
purpose
and
expected
benefits
from
this
framework.
B
Obviously,
this
piece
of
work
has
been
discussed
previously,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
was
for
the
aims
of
this
framework
is
really
trying
to
integrate
long-term
planning,
medium,
short-term
planning
right
down
to
individual
objectives
for
staff
across
the
organisation.
So,
in
terms
of
this
framework,
the
aims
of
the
ultimate
aims
of
this
are
to
ensure
that
we
one
have
a
high
performing
organization,
but
two
actually
strengthen
our
customer
focus
across
all
of
our
plans.
So
what
are
the
outcomes
for
the
community?
B
Obviously,
that
focus
should
improve
value
for
money,
because
we
should
be
focusing
our
investments
on
those
things
that
are
going
to
have
the
best
benefit
for
our
community,
but
also
underpinning
that
is
financial,
organizational
sustainability.
So
this
framework
also
includes
things
like
our
financial
forecasting,
asset
management
planning,
infrastructure
planning
as
well.
In
terms
of
accountability.
B
Each
of
these
plans
we're
going
to
have.
Obviously
we
already
have
accountable
offices,
but
there's
going
to
be
more
transparent
approach
to
accountability
around
all
these
planning
components
not
only
to
council,
but
also
the
community
and
then
ultimately,
and
ensuring
that
staff
on
the
ground
in
their
day-to-day
work
know
what
their
contribution
is
to
achieving
the
longer
term
plans
for
the
city
and
our
city
vision.
So
that's
the
the
case,
the
rounded
view
of
the
benefits
and
those
will
be
further
developed
as
we
develop.
The
framework
you'll
have
seen
from
the
report
the
framework
itself.
B
This
is
a
draft
and
it
will
remain
a
draft
until
we've
gone
through
the
implementation
planning
phase,
because
through
that
phase
there
may
be
some
tweaks
and
changes
that
are
needed
to
this
draft
model.
But
this
is
a
starting
point
for
what
the
framework
will
look
like
moving
forward
and
I'll
go
through
each
of
these
kind
of
tiers
of
the
framework.
B
So,
in
terms
of
longer
term
planning,
the
proposal
is
that
we
have
obviously
our
city
vision,
which
is
inspired
by
lifestyle
driven
by
opportunity
that
will
remain
and
underneath
that
we'll
have
gold
coast,
2032
themes
and
aspirations
which
will
drive
down
through
the
organization.
Those
themes
right
through
down
through
all
our
planning
right
through
to
an
individual
level
at
council
gold
coast
2032,
is
being
proposed
as
a
key
new
plan
for
the
city
at
a
10-year
level.
B
Defining
longer-term
outcomes
for
the
city
and
lots
of
other
jurisdictions
across
australia
in
terms
of
local
governments
have
longer-term
plans
at
a
10-year
level.
So
it's
not
unusual
to
see
that
across
across
australia.
So
that's
the
proposals.
We
have
a
10-year
plan
that
drives
that
down
now
in
terms
of
the
work
already
undertaken
to
date
on
that,
obviously,
as
councillors,
you've
already
been
involved
in
gold
coast
2032.
What
that
10-year
aspiration?
B
Is
it's
really
building
a
plan
out
from
that
initial
starting
point,
and
obviously,
we've
just
been
out
to
the
community
on
those
aspirations
and
themes.
So
some
of
that
work
has
already
started
in
terms
of
the
the
tiers
of
plan
that
sits
under
gold
coast
2032
we've
got
obviously
the
city
plan
and
we're
proposing
that
in
the
fullness
of
time,
that's
renamed
to
the
gold
coast
planning
scheme.
Some
of
the
feedback
we
had
was
that
people
were
confused
about
what
the
city
plan
was.
B
B
other
plans
which
would
sit
under
that
would
be
service
plans.
We
have,
as
you
know,
a
wide
range
of
services
across
the
city,
we're
looking
to
have
10-year
plans
for
each
of
our
services
at
the
moment.
Obviously,
we
do
have
in
many
cases
some
of
those
plans
but
they're
not
necessarily
consistent,
and
we
don't
have
plans
for
every
service,
even
though
we
have
service
financial
forecasts.
So
it's
really
trying
to
consolidate
our
planning.
B
Those
service
plans
would
be
linked
to
our
asset
management
plans
and
obviously
those
assets
really
support
the
delivery
of
those
services
across
the
city
and
again
that
would
be
connected
to
our
service
financial
forecast.
A
lot
of
this
work
already
takes
place,
but
it
might
not
be
consistent
in
every
area
of
the
city.
B
Other
long-term
plans
obviously
include
the
the
local
government
infrastructure
plan.
Water
net
serve
plan
than
others,
so
these
will
be
connected
together
and
would
sit
under
gold
coast
2032,
so
they
would
be
supporting
the
delivery
of
our
10-year
plan.
B
B
So
as
those
strategies
are
getting
reviewed,
the
question
is:
they
need
to
connect
directly
to
the
outcomes
in
gold
coast
2032,
so
they
will
be
delivering
mechanisms
for
gold
coast
2032,
where
long-term
strategies
are
required,
which
are
longer
than
obviously
some
of
those
short
ones
which
may
not
rely
on
infrastructure
and
other
things.
So
that's
the
higher
order
in
terms
of
the
medium-term
planning.
B
We
have
something
called
the
council
plan
in
the
middle
here
now.
That
is
also
known
as
our
corporate
plan
corporate
plan
is
the
legislative
name
and
the
local
government
act
we're
proposing
that
gets
renamed
to
council
plan,
because
again,
the
feedback
we've
received
is
the
corporate
plan.
Some
of
the
feedback
is
that
some
of
our
stakeholders
believe
that's
our
internal
organizational
plan,
not
something
to
do
with
the
community,
so
we're
suggesting
it
gets
renamed
council
plan,
which
is
about
the
strategic
direction
of
the
local
government
area.
B
It's
led
by
council
and
it
is
council's
plan
for
the
next
five
years.
That
name
is
used
in
other
jurisdictions
in
australia
for
that
plan.
Other
names
are
municipal
plan
delivery
program,
but
we
think
council
plan
probably
is
a
better
name
for
that
plan
and
that
plan,
as
you
know,
is
coming
to
council
shortly
and
that
defines
the
next
five
years
and
the
outcomes
for
the
city
for
the
coming
five
years.
B
Now,
supporting
that
plan
we
will
have
an
organizational
plan
and
that's
a
new
plan
which
is
about
our
organization,
our
capability,
our
skills,
our
capacity
to
support
the
organization
to
deliver
our
council
plan
on
the
left.
Then
we'll
have
medium-term
strategies,
so
some
of
those
will
be
shorter
term
strategies
that
need
to
be
more
agile,
more
frequently
reviewed,
which
maybe
don't
rely
on
long-term
infrastructure.
B
It
could
be
culture,
it
could
be
economy,
it's
those
things
which
maybe
don't
rely
on
a
longer
term
view
and
that
will
be
discussed
by
council,
but
those
outcomes
will
be
sitting
in
the
corporate
plan.
So
the
corporate
plan
outcomes
will
have
potentially
strategies,
but
they
must
be
sitting
very
much
in
and
nested
in
that
council
plan,
then
on
the
right,
we've
got
a
capital
works
programme.
At
the
moment.
B
That's
a
four
year
we're
looking
to
extend
that
to
five
to
meet
our
the
match,
our
council
plan,
so
you
have
a
five-year
capex
program,
a
five-year
council
plan
and
then
at
the
the
bottom.
Tier
here
is
the
annual
view.
So
we
already
have
an
annual
plan
city
budget
and
city
operational
plan
which
drives
our
investments
and
activities
for
the
coming
year.
Underneath
that
we'll
have
directorate
and
branch
business
plans
driving
down
to
individual
performance
plans,
so
they
have
a
line
of
sight
really
from
top
to
bottom,
driven
down
through
the
organization.
B
So
that's
a
very
brief
overview
of
the
proposed
draft
framework
and
obviously
there
will
be
an
implementation
planning
phase
next
in
terms
of
the
bars
on
the
side,
and
this
is
again
is
very
high
level.
Obviously,
one
of
the
the
key
elements
of
input
to
all
of
our
planning
are
our
community
aspirations
and
other
external
influences
like
state
and
federal
governments
and
partners
across
the
city,
and
then
at
the
bottom.
We
have
our
governance
arrangements,
performance
and
compliance
and
risk.
B
C
Thank
you
chairman,
so
does
that
mean
that
the
corporate
plan
won't
become
the
council
plan
until
next
next
corporate
plan.
B
D
Just
just
in
terms
of
timing,
so
we've
got
on
special
budget
community
tomorrow
we've
got
the
agenda
for
corporate
pain
and
then
that's
going
to
the
special
counsel
meeting
on
tuesday.
So
that's
at
that
point.
We're
suggesting
that
counselling
actually
endorses
this
as
a
council
plan
rather
than
corporate
plan.
E
It
occurs
to
me
that
all
the
the
strategic
plans
and
service
plans
and
long-term
plans
on
the
document
on
page
30
look
like
they're
captured
inside
that
gold
coast
2032
plan.
But
you
know
the
burden
on
officers,
then,
obviously,
on
councillors
to
to
adopt
all
those
kind
of
10-year
plans
in
one
year
would
be
quite.
Is
there
a
way
we
could
reflect
that
those
service
plans
and
long-term
plans
might
be
kind
of
staggered
yep.
E
B
So
through
the
chair,
absolutely
the
implementation
plan
will
be
proposing
a
way
forward
on
this.
It
may
it
may
be
over
a
number
of
years.
Absolutely.
Obviously,
if
we're
looking
at
10-year
plans
for
services
we'll
be
looking
at
those
ones,
probably
first
that
are
more
complex.
Higher
risk
have
more
significant
investments
moving
through
that
cycle.
So
absolutely
there's
going
to
be
a
a
period
of
time
for
this
plan
to
actually
to
actually
deliver
the
whole
this
framework.
This
is
a
future
state
framework.
E
You
know
that
page
30
document
you
know
for
there
to
be
a
you
know,
an
addendum
of
of
sorts
that
says
our
natural
city
strategy
and
you
know,
here's
the
time
frame
for
each
of
those
with
with
actually
a
pictorial
indication
of
when
that
their
10-year
period
start
and
finish.
I
think
so.
We
can
be
aware.
Okay,
when
someone
asks
us
a
question
about.
Why
are
we
doing
this
body
of
work?
Then
we
can
say
well.
E
It
forms
part
of
that
strategy
and
that'll
be
up
for
review
at
this
time,
and
it
allows
us
to
direct
public
inquiry
to
you
know
the
the
time
frame
that
makes
most
sense
for
the
council
and
not
necessarily
for
the
query.
D
B
The
chair,
there
will
be
an
implementation
plan
for
this
framework,
and
so
there
may
be
some
tweaks,
but
absolutely
there's
going
to
be
a
staggered
approach
to
this
over
a
number
of
years
and
we're
going
to
be
putting
together
milestones
in
terms
of
when
those
things
will
will
change
over,
but
in
terms
of
the
strategies.
Some
of
them
may
not
be
five
or
ten,
but
there
may
be.
There
may
be
three,
they
may
be
15.
it's
more
about.
They
need
to
connect
with
our
two
key
strategic
plans:
gold
coast
2032
and
the
council
plan.
E
B
Through
the
chair
I
mean
the
the
goal:
the
the
outcomes
for
gold
coast
2032
and
the
council
plan
we'll
really
and
the
kpis
will
be
looking
to
indicate
which
strategies
we
need,
which
ones
we
don't.
For
instance,
if
council
believes
we
need
to
move
further
and
faster
on
a
particular
outcome
and
gold
coast
2032
of
the
council
plan.
We
may
need
a
strategy
for
that
that
doesn't
exist
now.
But
if
we're
already
satisfied
that
we're
meeting
the
kpis
we
want
to
meet,
then
probably
a
strategy
would
no
longer
be
required.
B
A
So
I
just
had
a
question
in
regards
to
that
proposed
name:
changing
from
city
plan
to
the
gold
coast
planning
scheme
has
that
been
discussed
with
at
the
directorate
level
as
well
and
now
they're
supportive
of
it.
B
It's
through
the
chairs
has
been
discussed
with
the
director
economy,
planning,
environment
and
yes,
happy
to
consider
that
change,
but
not
until
the
next
iteration
of
the
major
review
of
that
of
that.
A
Of
and
recommend
that
and
and
as
has
been
mentioned
directly
to
councillor
caldwell,
do
you
know
okay,
so
between
now
and
council,
we'll
just
make
sure
that
he's
aware
as
well
councillor
patterson.
F
Thank
you
through
you.
So
is
the
reason
why
we
can't
do
it
to
2026.
So
is
that
a
legislative
thing
you
can't
change
it
without
actually
changing
it
as
a
city
plan
amendment?
Is
there
a
reason
why
we
couldn't
just
change
it
now.
B
I'd
have
to
take
that
question
notice.
I
think
the
key
reason
is
it's.
It's
well
known,
as
a
city
plan,
currently
there's
an
awful
lot
of
collateral
with
the
business
right,
and
I
think
the
view
was
that
it
would
be
probably
better
to
wait
till
that
next
major
review.
Okay.
A
So
and
given
how
long
it
takes
for
a
review
to
go
through
the
state
system,
that
probably
makes
sense
as
well,
so
were
there
any
other
questions
councillor
young?
Were
you
you're
right,
so
I'm
happy
to
move
it.
Councillor
gates
is
happy
to
second
it.
Anybody
want
to
speak
for
or
against
it,
excellent,
so
all
in
favour
carried
unanimously
outstanding.
A
F
A
A
I
think
overall,
the
last
night
showed
how
many
really
awesome
people
the
gold
coast
has
doing
awesome
things
so,
and
I
think
it's
great
that
they
were
all
recognized.
You
know
so
clearly,
dr
howell,
that
I
think
just
the
depth
of
the
the
nominees
was
really
pretty
impressive.
A
So
I've
got
a
big
soft
spot
for
baby
gives
back
and
like
I
mean
when
you
hear
how
many
people
that
they've
helped
and
they
actually
came,
there's
a
saint
killer's
mum's
model
which
which
they
base
themselves
on
and
they're
almost
at
the
same
size,
four
or
five
years
younger
than
what's
happening
in
victoria
and
they've
just
expanded
up
in
into
brisbane.
So
I
just
think
that
it's,
it's
amazing.
What
dedicated
people
can
do
and
then
really
good
lawnmower
man
you
know
so
he's
been.
A
E
Was
quite
quite
helpful
in
light
of
the
circumstances
as
well.
F
G
A
A
F
A
A
Right
so
council
gates
you've
made
that
declaration.
Are
you
happy
with
what
you've
declared.
A
A
And
thank
you
councillor
pauline
young
and
joe.
We
will
call
the
division,
but
before
we
do
that,
can
we
just
make
sure
that
those
standard
words
are
available
for
a
control
whatever
it
is
for
all
of
the
committees,
so
that
we
know
exactly
what
we
want
to
do
and
we're
consistent.
A
So
councillors
will
call
a
a
division
on
that,
because
that's
what
we're
required
to
do
so
in
favor
of
councillor
gates,
participating
castle,
hamill,
council
patterson.
D
H
Mr
chair,
I
had
a
question
that
was
actually
put
to
me
by
the
federal
member
that
covers
the
area
of
cedar
creek.
He
requested.
I
asked
the
committee
to
see
if
the
policy
allows
for
any
flexibility
when
negotiating
with
one
of
the
providers
who
don't
see
in
areas
commercially
viable,
because
the
amount
of
residents
in
there
for
the
amount
of
customers
that
might
use
the
area.
I
I
can
answer
that
mr
chair
counselor-
I
was
just
thinking
about
this
this
morning
when
I
was
walking
the
dog
and
the
oh
that's
very
loose.
That's
some
strain
yeah,
the
question
that
we
had
and
we
we
had
a
discussion
in
the
recent
past
about
that.
The
the
constraint
that
we
have
is
a
constrained
impose
upon
us
by
the
local
government
regulation
and
that
regulation
says
that
we
can
only
dispose
of
an
interest
in
land
and
interest
in
land
includes
a
lease.
I
We
can
only
dispose
of
an
interest
in
land
at
market
value.
So
in
terms
of
the
flexibility,
the
federal
member
talks
about,
we
could
only
be
flexible
in
so
far
as
the
rent
under
that
lease
is
at
or
above
market
value,
and
what
we've
tried
to
do
in
this
new
policy
is
adopt
a
tiered
approach
to
determining
value
previously
under
the
existing
policy.
I
So,
for
example,
if
the
highest
value
site
was
assigned
surface
paradise
and
the
market
value
was
thirty
thousand
dollars
a
situation,
you
know
in
a
more
remote
location
under
that
policy
approach.
The
rent
would
also
need
to
be
thirty
thousand
dollars,
even
though
the
market
value
you
know
objectively,
would
be
far
less.
I
So
what
we've
tried
to
do
in
this
situation
is
to
come
up
with
a
tiered
system
where
we
can
treat
rents
on
the
basis
that
that
you
know,
there's
a
more
close
nexus
between
the
underlying
fundamental
value
and
the
rent
that
we
charge
under
our
policy.
H
Chair
sounds
like
I
can
take
that
as
that
the
federal
member
can
talk
to
those
communications
providers.
They
can
have
another
stab
about
that.
So.
A
But
if
there's
the
federal
government
who
are
responsible
for
telecommunications
wanted
to
deliver
into
black
spots,
maybe
they
could
come
up
when
they're
in
government
with
a
scheme
that
allowed
for
the
subsidy
into
those
black
spots.
You
know
so
that'll
be
the
work
around
me
just
might
need
to
wait
four
years.
A
H
It'd
be
fair
to
say,
mr
chair,
that
I
I
may
have
already
put
that
to
him
a
few
times,
and
this
was
a
just
good
timing
that
I
knew
there
was
a
review
of
this
coming
up.
We
have
done
what
we
can
under
the
current
legislation.
I
think
it's
actually
a
fairly
positive
move
and
I'll
be
riding
back
to
him
to
pretty
awesome
the
balls
in
his
court,
and
he
can
go
deal
with
the
state
and
he's
now
new
federal
government
on
trying
to
get
some
assistance
from
their
side.
A
I
acknowledge
the
fact
that
the
recommendation
that
the
offices
has
made
is
slightly
different
to
what
was
originally
proposed
in
the
by
the
consultant,
but
I
think
that
you've
probably
reached
a
sensible
middle
ground.
So,
and
I
suppose
the
only
thing
that
I
can
say
in
regards
to
council
hamill's
question
is
that
it
is
a
policy
and
a
policy
potentially
might
be
able
to
be
changed
by
a
general
business
item
through
council,
but
you'd
need
to
go
through
that
whole
process
of
making
sure
we
satisfied
our
obligations
in
regards
to
disposal
of
an
asset.
A
A
Now
councillor
7.1
is
notionally
a
closed
item,
but
if
we
can
see
if
we
can
have
a
discussion
that
doesn't
involve
us
mentioning
any
numbers,
we
might
not
need
to
go
to
close
so
counselors
did
anybody
have
any
questions.
E
Had
a
question
about
the
proportion
of
ppr
and
permanent
rentals
that
are
under
debt
management.
E
G
Three,
mr
chair,
I
have
to
take
that
advisement
counselor,
I
don't
have
the
split.
We
just
have
the
whole
of
city
figure
in
the
item.
Peace
code.
E
What
proportion
of
ppr
or
permanent
rental
category,
which
is
the
category
two
rate
payers,
are
under
debt
management?
I've
got
some
sort
of
either
payment
plan
or
you
know
what
proportion
are
being
managed.
Yeah.
A
F
G
Through
you,
mr
chair,
unknown
councillor,
we
believe
that
probably
the
people
in
recent
times
say
a
figure
of
six
to
nine
months,
any
people
that
have
taken
a
mortgage
out
in
that
period
of
time.
I
believe
that
the
big
four
have
been
building
in
some
capacity
for
interest
rate
rises.
However,
people
with
longer-term
mortgages
may
well
fall
into
the
distressed
state,
which
is
technically
30
of
their
pre-tax
income.
G
At
this
stage,
the
arrears
are
a
marginally
higher
than
last
year,
as
as
indicated
in
the
item,
some
of
that
we
think,
because,
as
part
of
the
assistance
package
of
the
council
granted,
we
suspended
recovery
action
in
full
for
a
period
of
seven
months
in
this
financial
year.
So
we're
just
back
into
the
swing
of
things
again,
but
again
all
of
the
options
to
assist
you
know:
vulnerable
rate
payers,
payment
arrangements,
etc.
G
There
have
been
put
in
place
and
we
try
to
encourage
anyone
to
speak
to
us
and
if
we
can
get
them
into
a
payment
arrangement.
There's
no
interest
penalty
applied
that
the
point
on
the
interest
rates
rising
is
fair
and
I
in
in
the
new
financial
year
we
will
be
looking
to
apply
a
penalty
rate
for
the
penalty
interest,
that's
commensurate
with
what
we
can
do
under
the
legislation,
which
is,
I
suppose,
the
90-day
cash
rate
for
the
march
quarter,
plus
a
maximum
of
eight
percent.
On
top
of
that.
F
Okay,
okay,
it's
and
I
think
it's
I'm
sorry
through
the
chair
to
you.
I
think
it's
just
a
comment.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
something
that
we've
been
talked
more
and
more
about
in
the
public
and
unfortunately
we're
going
into
that
very
high
cpi
and
we've
got
you
know,
a
rate
potential
change
to
the
rates
being
endorsed
next
week.
F
So
I
think
you
know
it'll
be
a
a
flow-on
compounding
sort
of
thing
so
whether
we
can
be
ahead
of
the
game
when
it
comes
to,
I
guess,
correspondence
back
to
our
back
to
our
residence
and
that
because
it
just
seems
to
be
a
bit
of
a
conversation
piece
out
there
now
so.
A
Thank
you.
Well,
I
think
the
and
and
to
pick
up
on
that,
I
think
the
best
thing
that
we
can
do
to
our
residents,
who
may
be
in
a
financial
struggle
because
of
the
increase
in
mortgages
is
and
everything
is
to
encourage
them
if
they
can't
make
their
rates
payment
to
enter
into
an
arrangement
with
the
city
as
soon
as
possible,
to
stop
the
clock
in
particular
on
the
interest
and
to
actually
make
sure
that
it
doesn't
get
away
from
them.
A
So
so
I
think
that
what
the
practical
thing
the
council
laws
can
do
in
that
space,
in
my
mind,
is
to
encourage
them
to
have
an
open
and
honest
conversation
with
the
council
staff
about
getting
onto
a
payment
arrangement
rather
than
putting
the
head
in
this
end
and
and
leaving
it
letting
it
go
so
councillors
are
there
any
other
questions.
A
So
I'm
happy
to
move
it
and
I
won't
speak
to
it,
but
I'm
going
to
speak
if
I
can
to
to
lee
so
lee
is
presenting
to
the
governance
administration,
finance
committee
for
the
last
time
as
a
council
officer,
unless
we
call
him
back
and
he's
already
shaking
his
head,
and
I
just
thought
it
would
be
remiss
of
me
not
to
mention
some
of
the
highlights
of
lee's
career
with
the
city
of
gold
coast
and
lee
will
start
with
the
obvious.
A
I
think
you
will
appreciate
that
all
of
the
gentlemen
that
have
attended
the
committee
meeting
today
have
dressed
as
a
tribute
to
you.
So
we
haven't
quite
got
the
same
style
in
regards
to
the
colour
of
our
shirts
or
our
ties.
But
but
you
definitely
have
left
a
mark
in
regards
to
city
offices
attending
committee
meetings.
In
regards
to
your
your
and
I
was
going
to
say
lows,
but
I
won't
you
know,
but
not
even
open.
G
A
Lee's
work
for
the
city
of
gold
coast
for
43
years,
which
is
an
outstanding
period
of
service
for
our
city.
You,
you
started
in
1978
and,
and
you
were
a
junior
clerical
officer
at
bundle
and
you
were
appointed
to
regulated
parking
section
in
1980
and
normally
some
of
us
might
make
a
reference
to
some
of
the
younger
councillors
like
mark
hamill,
but
I'll
make
a
reference
to
myself
and
say
that
in
1980,
when
I
was
in
grade
6,
I
hadn't
quite
got
around
to
getting
my
learner's
permit.
So
you
wouldn't
have
regulated
me.
A
You
then
did
a
period
of
service
with
the
city
at
the
keith
hunt,
community
entertainment
and
arts
center,
which
is
now
known
as
hotter.
You
patched
across
to
the
finance
department
in
1988
as
part
of
the
the
expo
88
celebrations.
I
reckon-
and
you
were
involved
with
as
a
the
payroll
officer
when
pay
packets
were
still
full
of
cash
and
delivered
to
staff
under
police
escort
across
all
administration
centres
and
depots.
A
You
have
eventually
seconded
to
manage
the
revenue
services
branch
of
organizational
services
in
2015
and
you've
been
responsible
for
some
50-plus
staff
and
controlling
the
issue
and
recovery
of
1.4
billion
dollars
of
council
lab
annual
revenue.
So
lee
you're
a
pretty
important
part
of
the
organisation
when
you,
when
you
can
say
that
you're
actually
over
the
last
nine
or
ten
years,
been
responsible
for
collecting
about
10
billion
dollars
of
revenue.
So
without
you
the
city
would
have
ground
to
a
halt.
A
I
reckon
I
can
say
that,
but
you've
you've
also
got
you've,
had
an
enormous
amount
of
support
from
your
council
colleagues
and
your
family,
and
so
we
also
acknowledge
corey's
30
years
with
the.
Where
are
you
corey,
corey's
waving
to
us?
The.
A
Consultant,
oh
oops,
so
but
corey's
been
with
the
city
as
well
for
30
years,
and
and
I
don't
know
how
she's
managed
to
put
up
with
you
for
that
long.
But
but
the
good
news
is
that
corey
is
staying
with
us
for
a
period
of
time.
I
hope,
as
you
realize,
that
living
life
with
lee
in
retirement
might
be
a
struggle.
You
know
so
so
your
last
day
at
council
will
be
the
15th
of
july
and
lee
you're
going
to
leave
a
really
big
hole
and
we'll
miss
you.
A
D
Into
the
detail,
but
unfortunately
I
can
remember
most
of
those
things
that
that
you
read
out
that
lee
didn't
I've.
I've
known
lee,
for
I
think,
what
50
years,
probably
school,
the
old
aquinas
college,
but
you
know
anyone,
but
lee
was
a
couple
of
grades
older
than
me,
so
I
just
mentioned
that,
but
as
well
as
I
think,
all
the
sort
of
the
functional
stuff
that
counseling
james
was
talking
about.
I
think
lee's
made
a
great
contribution
to
the
culture
of
the
organization.
D
Great
sense
of
humor
can
make
a
joke
out
of
anything.
We've
got
a,
I
guess
the
arrangement
that
leon
and
I've
had
over
the
years.
In
terms
of
you
know,
rating
structures
and
those
sorts
of
things.
I
take
the
credit
for
stuff
that
the
counsellors
like
and
he
takes
the
blame
for
stuff
that
they
don't.
So
it's
worked
pretty
well
at
the
moment
so,
but
so
we
had
a
great
working
relationship.
D
I
think
in
in
lisa
also
made
a
good
great
contribution
to
the
community
he's
life
member
at
the
rank
soccer
club,
a
great
player,
I
think,
from
yep
a
grade
cricket
player
at
at
queen's,
not
sure
with
your
life
member
there,
but
pretty
close.
So
any
left
left
arm,
spinner
and
batsman.
So
he's
a
pretty
good
career
in
terms
of
his
his
sporting
powers.
D
C
C
The
fact
that
we
could
have
yeah,
I
might
be
a
teal-
might
be
a
teal.
I
really
just
wanted
to
say
lee.
Thank
you
for
everything.
Over
the
years
I
mean
the
level
of
detail
that
lee
has
always
gone
to
to
answer
any
enquiries
that
we've
had
has
been
just
a
hundred
and
fifty
percent
lee,
so
you've
been
the
go-to
guy
for
us
for
so
many
years
and
we'll
miss
you
greatly.
F
F
You
know,
they've
had
financial
struggles
and
lee's
been
able
to
sit
down
with
them,
spend
extra
time
with
them
to
make
sure
that
they're
in
a
payment
method
that
they
can
handle
because,
as
we
all
know,
it's
a
serious
thing
when
we
have
to
put
properties
up
for
sale
and
lee's
been
very
good
in
that
department
in
helping
out
not
only
in
collecting
funds
for
the
gold
coast
city,
but
certainly
with
helping
our
rate
pays,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
service
and
I'll
certainly
miss
you
and
I'm
sure
that
council
miss
you
and
thanks
very
much
for
your
contribution.
A
Thank
you,
council,
macdonald
lee,
don't
go,
don't
go
we're
going
to
do
something.
I
think,
for
the
first
time
ever
we're
going
to
vote
on
a
recommendation,
because
we
have
to
do
that
and
you
might
get
a
standing
ovation
for
actually
getting
this
recommendation
through.
So
council
is
all
in
favor
of
lee's
recommendation.
H
G
Can
I
take
that
under
design?
What
color
do
I
call
it.
G
In
the
first
five
minutes
the
meeting,
so
he
missed
it
there.
One
thing
I
would
like
to
say
thank
you
very
much
for
the
the
thai
and
collars
gentlemen
and
the
ladies
for
that
would
have
could
have.
The
only
comment,
though,
is
the
the
the
genes
and
collar
and
tie
don't
really
rock
it,
so
apologies,
counselor,
toeser
and
and
chairman
so
wow.
A
A
Rightio
at
9
52.,
I
reckon
our
business
is
done.
Thank
you
for
your
attendance
and
your
spirited
bidding.
