2016-06-13 General Committee Meeting Notes

RECOMMENDATIONS ONLY – NOT THE FINAL DECISION OF COUNCIL
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING                                                                   13 JUNE 2016


    Cr Glasgow declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 173 of the
    Local Government Act 2009) due to his membership of the Cooroy Pomona Lions Club. Cr Glasgow
    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.
    Cr Jackson declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 173 of the
    Local Government Act 2009) due to her membership of Noosa Community Radio, Noosa and District
    Landcare, and Noosa Community Biosphere Association. Cr Jackson believed she 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.
    Committee Recommendation
    Moved:              Cr Stockwell

    That Council note the report by the Community Development Coordinator to the Services &
    Organisation Committee Meeting dated 7 June 2016 and
    A.    Authorise the Chief Executive Officer to amend the Community Grants Policy to include

          2.     2016/2017 Festive Season Grant recommendations as set out in Attachment 2
                 to the Report noting that the Pomona Night of Lights event is being held in
                 Pomona, not Cooroy as incorrectly outlined in the attachment;
          3.     2016/2017 Signature Event Grant recommendations as set out in Attachment 3
                 to the Report;

    C.    With respect to the application by Slow Food Noosa which currently fails to meet the
          criteria for the community grant, the organisation is encouraged to apply for the next
          round of grants for support for their education and promotion of slow food principles.
                                                                                                   Carried.
