Council said ratifying the appointments of new members for the various committees “will have the economic implication of a cost effective way to manage community facilities and reserves and the social implications that community members are actively involved in managing facilities and reserves in their communities”.
“Encouraging the committees to manage facilities in an environmentally sensitive way will have positive environmental implications. In addition, the formal appointment of these members enhances good governance around these structures.”
Council said they will write to Andrew and Gael Tosio, Ben Knobloch, Garry Matthews, Laurie Rosa and Gordon Manning acknowledging and thanking them for their contribution to Section 355 committees.
