SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES                                                6 JULY 2021


    7   COMMUNITY PROGRAM FUNDING – COMMUNITY ALLIANCE 2021/22
        In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stewart provided the
        following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
        I, Cr Stewart, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation
        to the funding recommendation to Sunny Kids Inc. I make regular monthly donations to this
        charity. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person
        could have a perception of bias because I believe I do not stand to receive a personal benefit or
        loss in relation to this funding. Therefore, I will choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I
        will respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the decision.
        Committee Resolution
        Moved:               Cr Lorentson
        Seconded:            Cr Wilkie
        That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Stewart and determine that it is in the
        public interest that Cr Stewart participates and votes on this matter because Council believes that
        she does not stand to receive a personal benefit or loss in relation to this funding and therefore a
        reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.
                                                                                     Carried unanimously.
        Cr Stewart did not vote on the above motion.
