    10.1.   CONTRACT NUMBER CN00319B - UPPER PINBARREN
            CREEK ROAD LANDSLIDES

            In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Phillips
            provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of
            interest in this matter:

            I, Cr Phillips, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this
            matter as I have become aware that the company my husband works for is
            associated with a company that tendered an application for confidential contract
            number CN00319B. However he has had no involvement in any construction of
            the tender. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a
            reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I am not closely
            related to the applicant and they are not recommended for the tender. Therefore,
            I 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.

             Council Resolution
             Moved:             Cr Stockwell
             Seconded:          Cr Wilson
             That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Phillips and determine
             that Cr Phillips participates and votes on this matter because Council believes
             that a reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public
             interest.
             Carried unanimously.
             Cr Phillips did not vote on the above motion.


             CLOSURE OF THE MEETING TO THE PUBLIC
             Council Resolution
             Moved:            Cr Frank Wilkie
             Seconded:         Cr Jessica Phillips
             That the meeting be closed to the public pursuant to section 254J(3)(g) of the Local
             Government Regulation 2012 for the purpose of discussing Item 10.1 Contract
             Number CN00319B - Upper Pinbarren Creed Road Landslides.
