Mayor Mullins opened this evenings meeting with the introduction of the newly appointed COA Rhonda Smith. The land acknowledgement was read then the agenda was presented.

There was a delegation from Grant Thornton that presented their report for the 2022 year end audit. The statement of financial position provides a summary of assets and liabilities. The report was mostly positive despite some unexpected expenses that occurred over that period. Aging infrastructure can cause problems that are often unpredictable but need to be addressed as timely as possible. 

The regular council meeting then started with the first items being the surplus transfers to various reserves and accounts.
