Memorandum by the Chief Executive Officer
To Council:
On 18 November 2019, Council endorsed a schedule of meetings and briefings for 2020.
The City of Sydney is hosting the Sydney Climate Summit in the week of 30 March 2020. Given this, amendments to the March / April cycles are proposed.
24 February Briefings
2 March Committees
9 March Council
16 March Briefings
23 March Committees
30 March Sydney Climate Summit
6 April Council
Section 365 of the Local Government Act 1993 states that "the council is required to meet at least 10 times each year, each time in a different month", with "year" meaning the period from 1 July to the following 30 June (the financial year). The amended schedule ensures compliance with the provisions of section 365.
The City's website will be updated with the amended meeting dates if endorsed by Council.
It is resolved that Council adopt the amended schedule of meetings and briefings for 2020, as shown at Attachment A to the subject memorandum.
