MOSMAN MUNICIPAL COUNCIL OFFiCE OF THE MAYOR
Mr Stephen Gould
PO Box 517
NEUTRAL BAY NSW 2089
Dear Mr Gould,
I am sending you a
copy of the Code of Meeting Practice so that you will be aware that
you continue to
contravene the Code with your behaviour at Council meetings.
All members of the
public in attendance in the Council Chambers are bound by this Code.
The
Mayor has the discretion to take questions or not prior to Council meetings.
As I have informed you a number of times, I will only take written questions from
you.
Council has spent
a great deal of time on your complaints, before and during Council meetings,
in
meetings with the General Manager, in dealing with a barrage of emails, faxes
and written material.
You are bound by
the Code of Meeting Practice when in the Council Chamber.
At the last Council meeting you once again continued a tirade when I was on my feet.
It is very clear that when the Chair stands, any speaker will sit down and cease
speaking.
Section 2.12
prohibits insulting, personal or defamatory statements, which I believe you made
in Council Chambers.
If you once more contravene this Code I will call upon the official to have you removed.
If you continue to resist, I will call the police, as this is the advised course.
Your behaviour is
causing a public nuisance and unless you conform to the Code of Meeting Practice,
the next course would be to issue you with a legal injunction.
Yours faithfully,
(Councillor Denise Wilton) MAYOR
