That the Board:
Confirms the agenda without addition or alteration
Motion carried |
Members were reminded of the need to stand aside from decision-making when a conflict arose between their role as an elected representative and any private or other external interest they might have.
The Chairperson advised that he was a member of Strath Taieri Agricultural & Rural Tourism Trust (STARTT), which was the umbrella group for the funding application.
It was noted that as STARTT was not the funding applicant and its only role was to provide provision for the use of the Trust’s bank account, that should funding be granted, there was no conflict for the Chairperson.
