ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                    20 FEBRUARY 2025




            8.3. CAPITAL PROGRAM 2024/2025 DELIVERY STATUS
            In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Jessica
            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 in relation to an upcoming tender for Cooroy Sports Complex and
            Multipurpose Area (which includes the Cooroy Gymnastics Club) mentioned in the
            Capital Program Update Report. I have been hired as a consultant by the Cooroy
            Gymnastics Club to assist in resourcing of their coaching staff and I am currently
            coaching the senior competitive program on an interim basis. I do not believe a
            reasonable person could have a perception of bias because the information in the
            report is merely noting that a tender is upcoming in the future. 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.

            Moved:            Cr Brian Stockwell
            Seconded:         Cr Karen Finzel
            That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Jessica Phillips and
            determine that in accordance with s150ES of the Local Government Act 2009 and
            having considered the Councillor's conflict of interest as described, it is decided
            that Cr Jessica Phillips may participate and vote on this matter relating to the
            Capital Works Update Report including mention of the Cooroy Sports Complex
            and Multipurpose Area (which includes the Cooroy Gymnastics Club).
