EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Mayor is the leader of the Council and has a number of roles which are both legislative and functional. The legislative requirements are outlined in Sections 71 to 73 of the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act). The Local Government Amendment (Improved Governance) Bill 2015 was passed in Parliament on 20 October 2015. The provisions of the Bill will come into effect in stages; one of the new provisions relating to the functions of the Mayor will be amongst the first to be proclaimed and is likely to come into effect in November 2015. The Act states that Council must elect a Mayor at a meeting that is open to the public. The Act states that the Mayor not only takes precedence at all municipal proceedings within the municipality but must also take the chair at all meetings of the council at which he or she is present. The Mayor’s role, however, extends well beyond officiating at council meetings or other municipal proceedings. Additional important roles are providing leadership, promoting positive relationships, and modelling good governance. This report relates to the election of the Mayor for Banyule City Council for the 2015/2016 Mayoral term.
RECOMMENDATION That nominations be called and the Mayor of Banyule City Council be elected for the Mayoral Term for 2015/2016 . BACKGROUND The role of the Mayor is one that requires both commitment and leadership. Apart from the roles stated in the legislation, the Mayor is usually the Council spokesperson and has a significant ceremonial role at particular events, including citizenship ceremonies. When the Mayor has been elected by at least a majority vote, the position becomes the leader of all the Councillors whether they supported an individual or not. What this means is that the Mayor has responsibilities towards, and is accountable to, all Councillors and the Mayor’s leadership style should reflect this. The role includes:

ELECTION OF MAYOR cont’d Community leadership – the Mayor is the principal Council spokesperson. The Mayor takes a leadership role in the community in promoting the Council and its achievements; Chairperson of the Council – the Mayor takes precedence at all proceedings of the Council and must take the chair at all meetings at which he or she is present. As chairperson, the Mayor should preside without fear or favour and encourage Councillors to participate effectively in all aspects of the Council’s decision making. The way in which the Mayor chairs council meetings makes a significant contribution to good governance. A well-run meeting that is inclusive and has high standards of governance relies on the mayor’s approach to being chair. Mayors should have a good knowledge of meeting procedures and their council’s meetings local law and Promoting good relationships - Good relationships are the glue for good governance. Councillors particularly rely on the cooperation and support of colleagues and the administration to achieve their goals. This cooperation is based on good relationships, and an understanding and acceptance of each role. The Mayor is in an ideal position to foster positive relationships between the various elements of local government by setting a good example. Managing and modelling good conduct - The Mayor also has considerable influence in establishing standards of good governance behaviour and ethics. As the leader of Council, the Mayor has an important formal role to play in promoting good conduct and managing poor conduct. In some Victorian local government councillor codes of conduct, the mayor is central to the dispute resolution process. In those cases, the Mayor must oversee the internal processes which deal with any alleged misbehaviour, as well as be involved in recommending referrals to external bodies when necessary. It is critical that the Mayor’s role in these proceedings is characterised by fairness, an appreciation of natural justice, and the awareness of being the leader of all councillors, not just those who are supporters. Civic role – the Mayor performs an important social role and is called upon by community groups to officially open events, etc. LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS PRECEDENCE AND FUNCTIONS OF MAYOR The Local Government Act 1989 requires the Councillors to elect a Councillor to be the Mayor of the Council. The election of the Mayor must not be done by secret ballot. Any Councillor is eligible for election to the office of Mayor. Section 73 of the Local Government Act 1989 sets out the Precedence of the Mayor: (1) The Mayor of a Council takes precedence at all municipal proceedings within the municipal district. (2) The Mayor must take the chair at all meetings of the Council at which he or she is present. (3) If there is a vacancy in the office of Mayor or the Mayor is absent, incapable of acting or refusing to act, the Council must appoint one of the Councillors to be the acting Mayor.
Special Meeting of Council - 16 November 2015

ELECTION OF MAYOR cont’d (4)
An acting Mayor may perform any function or exercise any power conferred on the Mayor.
A new section will be inserted into the Local Government Act 1989 as a result of the recent amendments from the Local Government (Improved Governance) Bill 2015. In a further measure to encourage better understanding of what is expected of them in terms of their behaviour and their role as councillors, the amendment defines the roles of a councillor and mayor for the first time. The Functions of the Mayor are: New Section - 73AA Functions of Mayor – section not yet proclaimed (effective) The functions of the Mayor of a Council include— a) providing guidance to Councillors about what is expected of a Councillor including in relation to the role of a Councillor under section 65, and the observation of the Councillor conduct principles and the Councillor Code of Conduct by Councillors under sections 76B, 76BA and 76C; and b) acting as the principal spokesperson for the Council; and c) supporting good working relations between Councillors; and d) carrying out the civic and ceremonial duties of the office of Mayor. TERM OF OFFICE Section 72 of the Act outlines the term of office of the Mayor, clause ca will include two new provisions where he or she will become ineligible to hold office of the Mayor. These include where a Councillor Conduct panel makes a finding of misconduct and or serious misconduct highlighted in red below but not yet effective. Section 72 (1) The office of Mayor becomes vacant— (a) at 6 a.m. on the day of the election of the Mayor; or (b) if he or she dies or ceases to be a Councillor; or (ba) if his or her office as a Councillor is suspended for any period under this Act; or (c) if he or she resigns in writing which is given at a Council meeting or to the Chief Executive Officer; or (ca) if he or she becomes ineligible to hold office under section 81J(2), 81(2A) or 81K; or (d) if he or she is ousted from office. (2) For the avoidance of doubt, the office of Mayor becomes vacant under subsection (1)(b) at 6 a.m. on the day of a general election whether or not the Mayor has completed his or her term of office as resolved by the Council under section 71(1). (3) Any Councillor is eligible for election or re-election to the office of Mayor. In accordance with Section 71(2) of the Local Government Act 1989 Council may resolve to elect a Mayor for a term of either one or two years, but must do so before the Mayor is elected. Banyule has traditionally elected a Mayor for a one year term, due the General Election to be held on 22 October 2016, the Mayoral Term can only be one year. ATTACHMENTS Nil

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Local Government Act 1989 does not deal with the election of a Deputy Mayor. Accordingly, councils may choose to appoint a Deputy Mayor if they believe this will assist their governance. The Act does not prescribe a role or permit a level of remuneration over and above that available to councillors. For councils that have a Deputy Mayor, the position is a titular one and does not have a statutory role. Unlike the roles of Deputy Premier or Prime Minister, a Deputy Mayor is not able to automatically step into the role of Mayor if this becomes necessary. An Acting Mayor must be appointed by Council on each occasion whenever an Acting Mayor is required. Traditionally Banyule Council has been in favour of appointing a Deputy Mayor to provide support and assistance to the Mayor in undertaking his/her workload. This report requests Council to consider the appointment of a Deputy Mayor for the 2014/2015 Mayoral term. RECOMMENDATION That Council make a determination on the appointment of a Deputy Mayor of Banyule City Council for 2015/2016 Mayoral Term. BACKGROUND Section 73(3) of the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act) provides for the appointment of an Acting Mayor where there is vacancy in the office of Mayor, or the Mayor is absent, incapable of acting, or refusing to act. The appointment of the Acting Mayor is not a permanent appointment. An Acting Mayor must be appointed each time there is a vacancy in the office of Mayor, or the Mayor is absent, incapable of acting, or refusing to act. A Deputy Mayor does not have any statutory role or function under the Act and cannot automatically deputise for the Mayor with regard to the exercise of these. Banyule, like a number of other Council choose to also elect a Deputy Mayor at the same time as appointing a Mayor. The positon is seen as providing opportunity for other Councillors to deputise for the Mayor on occasions where the Mayor may be unavailable, or to assist the Mayor in undertaking the role. While the Act does not recognise the role of Deputy Mayor, Banyule believes it to be a worthwhile position and has established a duty statement for the role of Deputy Mayor for Banyule.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Annually Council appoints Councillor delegates to the Council Advisory Committees and committees. Advisory Committees are made up of Councillors and community members. They have terms of references and meet to discuss issues and advise Council. In addition to Advisory Committees, Council is often invited to participate on a range of external committees in partnership. Both Advisory and external committees provide important linkages between Council, Community and State agencies and interest groups. A review of all committees has been undertaken in accordance with a Council resolution of the 20 July 2015. Several committees have been deleted, new MAV committees added and clarification of Board appointments provided. Council’s approval of the Councillor appointments to the various committees is required. RECOMMENDATION 1.
That Council determine Councillor Representatives to Committees and other bodies.
