Council RESOLVED that
“This Council recognises the acute hardship many people are experiencing as the coalition government begins to put our country back on a sound financial footing.
“Council also acknowledges that to support the governments reduced spending plans, staff salaries at this authority will, for a second year, remain frozen for the year 2011/12.
“Council notes that member allowances have also been frozen for the last 3 years, and in recognition of the difficulties our residents and our staff are experiencing in the current economic climate, and to support this council’s revised spending plans, this council resolves not to increase member allowances, or expenses, for a further year in 2012/13.”
A recorded vote was requested by more than six councillors.
