Forum

1.1 Margaret Van Zyl
|
|
Margaret Van Zyl, spoke to the committee regarding the
fluoridation of Mosgiel Water Supply. She expressed concern at the
decision to switch the source of Mosgiel's water from an untreated bore to
the city's fluoridated supply in December, following public health advice. t.
She is concerned that research shows that fluoridation has a long term impact
on the body and recommended the Councillors read a book called the Fluoride
Deception by Christopher Bryson.
Mrs Van Zyl advised that, after Mosgiel's water supply was
fluoridated she had installed a water filter at a cost of $240 and sought
reimbursement from the Council for this expenditure.

6 Proposed
Litter Compliance Policy, Litter Offences and Infringement Fees
|
|
|
In a report from Waste and
Environmental Solutions the report recommended that the Committee approve the
Proposed Litter Compliance Policy and schedule of infringement fees for
public notification.
The Litter Act 1979 (the Act)
allowed a Council to adopt a Litter Compliance Policy. Section 13:
Territorial authorities may adopt infringement notice provisions; and section
14: Infringement notices provides for an infringement notice regime of
offences and fees and will enable better control and enforcement of littering
offences.
The Litter Act 1979 requires
14 days public notification of Council's intent to adopt the Litter
Compliance Policy (the Policy). This timeframe will ensure the proposed
Litter Infringement Fee Schedule can be included in Council's schedule of
fees and charges for auditing purposes. This would mean that the
issuing of Litter Infringement Notices could commence from 1 July 2018.
|
|
|
Moved (Cr David Benson-Pope/Cr Damian
Newell):
That the Committee:
a)
Approves the proposed Litter Compliance Policy and
Schedule of Infringement Fees and Charges for public notification.
b)
Authorises the notification of Council's intention to pass a
resolution adopting the Litter Compliance Policy and Schedule of Infringement
Fees and Charges no less than 14 days prior to the Council meeting of 1 May
2018.
c)
Notes that officers will present a report to Council at its
meeting of 1 May 2018 seeking the adoption of the Litter Compliance Policy
and Schedule of Infringement Fees and Charges pursuant to sections 13 and 14
of the Litter Act 1979
