SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES                                    6 OCTOBER 2020


        The Services & Organisation Committee was unable to deal with this matter due
        to the majority of Councillors declaring conflicts of interest resulting in the
        Services and Organisation Committee not having a quorum. The matter was
        referred by the Chief Executive Officer to the General Committee for
        consideration.

        Crs. Wilkie, Stewart and Jurisevic returned to the meeting.
