During Council’s previous Council Meeting held on 18 November 2019 two (5) sets of Questions to

Council were submitted. At the time, I used my discretion available to me under Council’s General

Local Law to not answer the questions at the meeting. As required under the Local Law, written

answers were subsequently provided to the submitter. A copy of the responses are now tabled for

inclusion in the minutes of this meeting as follows:

Questions & Response – Ms Allaway

Question 1

Why has Cr. Davis taken it upon herself to personally involve herself in the consultation process?

Cr Davis is entitled, as an elected representative of the City of Stonnington, to communicate with community members about issues of concern.

Question 2

Has Cr. Davis undertaken any other research, and if so, what private investigations or inquiries has she undertaken?

This question is best directed to Cr Davis.

Question 3

Have any other Councillors conducted their own consultation or investigations in relation to the issue? If so, which councillors have engaged in such conduct?

This question should be directed to Councillors individually. For my part, I have not.

Question 4

What was the content of any communication with their constituents regarding the issue? What investigations and inquiries have they undertaken?

This question should be directed to Councillors individually.

Question & Response – Ms Borghesi

Response

COUNCIL MINUTES

MONDAY 2 DECEMBER 2019

The position of Deputy Mayor is provided for in the City of Stonnington General Local Law 2018 Section 34.

Question 2

How much the deputy Mayor is being paid of ratepayers money above that of a standard Councillors?

Response

There is no additional remuneration or benefit above that of any other Councillor (except for the Mayoral position) for the role of Deputy Mayor.

Question 3

What are the roles and responsibilities of a ‘deputy Mayor”

Response

The Deputy Mayor will provide direct support to the Mayor and will stand in their stead in event of absence or unavailability by the Mayor.

Question 4

How it is a sign of good governance and democracy that the same Councillor has been Mayor 3 times in a row through bargaining and vote deals of which most constituents are aware?

Response

Councillors as democratically elected representatives of the community and do not form part of the Administration of Council, accordingly as Chief Executive Officer the role is impartial and apolitical, making it improper for her to comment on their decisions or the rational leading to their decisions.
