Karen Finzel7:53Yeah. Okay, fantastic. Okay, thank you for the report and are we happy to move it to the next General Committee, put vote? Who's moving it? Oh, second. Sorry. It was moved by Councillor Wilson, seconded by Councillor Phillips. We'll take it to the vote. All in favour, show of hands. Thank you, that's unanimous. Thank you, Catherine. Thank you to staff. Thank you, Dr Stephanie. Thank you. Right, so we're we up want to. So. So, we're moving on to agenda item seven, number two, the Mayor's attendance to the 2025 Asia Pacific Cities Summit and Mayors’ Forum. Via Council of Mayors (SEQ) international travel. Mr CEO.
Thank you. Yes, so this is my report. So, I'm bringing this because, as we know, we are a member of the Council of Mayors, CoMSEQ, as it's colloquially known. The Council of a member of each of the, each member Council, the mayors, to travel to Dubai for the 2025 Asia Pacific Cities Summit and Mayors’ Forum, along with site visits organised by the Council of Mayors. The dates proposed are the 23rd to the 31st of October in 2025.2025 and this report seeks approval because we are having one of our elected members and the Mayor travel overseas, so I'm bringing it to Council for resolution or for approval as opposed to just noting. I would also make the point that the trip is covered by the Council of Mayors in terms of finances. There may be some small costs that the Council or the mayors or the Council has to do, but in general it's covered by the Council of Mayors and it is in Dubai for the Asia Pacific Cities Summit which is heavily supported by the Brisbane city so it's one that the CoMSEQ attends with the mayors and I think it's a really good opportunity for us to continue our association with CoMSEQ and to be part of that whole mix. So I put it to the group and to the committee for endorsement for this report.
