     Seconded:          Cr Pardon

     That the Audit Committee note the report by the Manager Financial Services to the Audit

                                                                                      Carried.


7    INSURANCE RENEWAL PROCESS 2015/16
     Cr Playford declared a perceived conflict of interest (as defined in section 173 of the Local
     Government Act 2009) in Item 7, Insurance Renewal Process 2015/16 due to his position as Chair
     of both Local Government WorkCare (LGW) and Local Government Mutual Liability (LGM).
     Cr Playford believed he could consider this item impartially and in the public interest and therefore
     remained in the meeting room for the debate and decision on this matter.

     Moved:             Cr Jurisevic
     Seconded:          Cr Bolton

     Committee Meeting dated 25 May 2015 providing an update on Council’s insurance
     renewal process for 2015/16 and note that for the 2015/16 insurance period, Council has
     invited three written quotes for the brokerage of insurances.
                                                                                    Carried.
