ORDINARY COUNCIL MEETING
HELD IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBER, 48 OLD PERTH ROAD, BASSENDEAN
ON TUESDAY, 25 MAY 2010, AT 7.00PM
1.0 DECLARATION OF OPENING/ANNOUNCEMENT OF VISITORS
His Worship the Mayor declared the meeting open and welcomed all those in attendance.
Mrs Val Dreyer, 31 Naunton Crescent, Eden Hill
Mrs Dreyer requested that a correction be made to page 20 of 22 of the last OCM Minutes which quotes her as asking if there any more funds for trees to be planted in Bassendean, when what she asked was if there was a money tree in Bassendean given the money being spent.
Mrs Dreyer further referred to a pamphlet received yesterday in her letterbox from the Mayor, to North Ward residents, recommending a particular candidate to sit for Council, and asked whether Council believes this procedure to be ethical.
The Mayor advised that he has always been very open about his beliefs and who he supports during Council elections and confirmed that his actions were within the guidelines of the Local Government Act.
Mrs Dreyer further asked if the reason the candidate in question did not nominate for the East Ward at last election, because Mayor was nominating for that position.
The Mayor advised that whilst this was a possibility, Mrs Dreyer would need to ask the candidate personally.

“To the Mayor and CEO of Bassendean Council re Success Hill Section 18 Consultation.
I am the oldest surviving grandson of my grandmother. My great grandmother was the sister of Yegan and my mother was born at Success Hill. I am the most relevant person to be consulted at Success Hill where my mother was born. Any Section 18 at Success Hill would be invalid without consulting me. I wasn’t consulted. The Anthropologist Report said someone else filled in for me. No-one can fill in for me without my permission. If anyone fills in for me it has to be one of my sons or daughters. It is not up to the Anthropologist to nominate who represents me”.
COUNCIL RESOLUTION – ITEM 7.2(b)
OCM2 – 5/05/10 MOVED Cr Pule, Seconded Cr Yates, that the petition, as presented, be received for Council’s consideration.

11.0 PUBLIC QUESTIONS & RIGHT OF REPLY
Mrs Tina Klein, 2 Wicks Street, Eden Hill
Mrs Klein referred to the several items in the draft budget which total $190,400 and may represent an increase of 2.5% in rates. Following earlier comments from the Mayor with regard to expenditure for Cultural Events, Mrs Klein queried the expenditure on Summer Movies and Old Perth Road Markets and expressed her view that the community should not be deprived of cultural events. Mrs Klein requested that Council gives serious consideration to their responsibilities to sound financial management.
Mrs Klein further referred to the endorsement by the Mayor, received via letter in the mail yesterday for Mr Heinrich Benz as a candidate for the upcoming Council election for North Ward, and her belief that some of the wording is incorrect. Mrs Klein asked the Mayor if he was happy with this endorsement given, in her view, that if the candidate is successful, he cannot lay claim to delivering the stated commitments.
The Mayor advised that he is happy to stand by his endorsement in the letter and makes no apologies. The candidate in question asked for support and the Mayor was happy to give it, all of which is within the guidelines in Local Government Act.
Mrs Fran Phelan, River Street, Bassendean
Mrs Phelan expressed the view that she thinks the distribution of the letter endorsing the candidate by the Mayor is unethical.
Mrs Phelan further referred to the alfresco dining and asked whether Council had read the comments in the local paper which clearly show that two of the main businesses affected are saying they do not want trees removed and think the cost of paving is excessive. Mrs Phelan advised that she concurs with them.
Mrs Jane Bremmer, 47 Seventh Avenue, Bassendean
Mrs Bremmer referred to a letter received from the CEO in response to a letter she sent. In the response, the CEO advised that weed management is informed by a detailed Weed Management Plan. As this letter was sent on 20 May, and the weed management is only being endorsed tonight, Mrs Bremmer queried whether she was being misled. Further, Mrs Bremmer referred to the green core that the TOB Environmental Officer is utilising to conduct green management activities, and requested an explanation as to why the young people involved are not wearing the right legally required protective clothing, and no warning signage is being erected.
The CEO undertook to provide a written response to Mrs Bremmer following consultation with the Environmental Officer.
Mr Bill Dreyer, 31 Naunton Crescent, Eden Hill
Mr Dreyer queried the petition signed by 292 residents and business owners within the Guildford town site.
The CEO advised the petitioner that the Town would receive the petition in the first instance, however, made the petitioner aware of a statutory process concerning boundary change, which involves a submission to the Local Government Advisory Board. The petitioners were not happy to proceed with this process unless this Council was willing to receive their proposal, so the CEO advised that Officers will prepare a report for Council to consider all the pros and cons. Further, advice is being sought from the City of Swan with regard to costs. The petitioners were happy with this arrangement.
Mr Dreyer queried the number of residents involved.
The CEO advised that approximately 1,000 people are involved. Those signing the petition were restricted to one ratepayer per property which he believes it is not representative of the number of electors keen to sign it.
Mr John Sutherland, Anzac Terrace, Bassendean
Mr Sutherland queried whether the petition received tonight will be made available to the public.
It was confirmed that the details will be attached to the Agenda for next meeting.
Mr Sutherland advised that he had requested a report on steam spray in 2005. Whilst he was not sure if the report provided was written or verbal, it might be worth obtaining a copy to avoid any duplication.
Mrs Tina Klein, 2 Wicks Street, Eden Hill
Mrs Klein expressed the view that she felt she was not being treated appropriately by the Mayor during public question time and to ask questions and provide a reply was her prerogative as a member of the community. Mrs Klein requested an apology.
The Mayor apologised to Mrs Klein as this was not his intention.
