12. Alderman Zucco - Service Recognition Function

Memorandum of the Acting Director City Governance of 6 February 2020.

Memorandum: Council
Alderman Zucco - Service Recognition Function
The purpose of this report is to seek the Council’s endorsement of the proposed arrangements for a reception to celebrate Alderman Zucco’s service to the City of Hobart as the Council’s longest serving Alderman.
Alderman Zucco’s service was noted by the Council at its meeting held on 28 January 2019 when he was presented with a Certificate of Recognition noting his election as an Alderman of the City in 1992.
The Council has a policy celebrating the retirement of long-serving elected members at a hosted dinner function, however there is currently no provision which recognises significant service milestones of serving elected members. The cost of this type of function is estimated at $3570. Alderman Zucco has indicated a preference for a less formal 2 hour cocktail function in the Court Room, which is estimated to cost $3328.
Based on the significance of the occasion, and the existing policy which recognises service to the Council of “long-serving” elected members of just twelve years, it is appropriate to recognise Alderman Zucco’s milestone service as the longest serving elected member in the history of the Hobart City Council.
Alderman Zucco has indicated that upon approval of this function, he would seek to move the location of the reception to the Town Hall in order to extend the number of guests over and above the 80 person capacity of the Court Room.
In accordance with the policy, elected members, their partners and the General Manager will be invited.
Costs associated with the change in venue and the attendance of guests over and above the 80 people which the Council would otherwise host, would be met by Alderman Zucco, and would involve Town Hall hire fees, together with the additional catering and invitation costs.
The General Manager would make the appropriate arrangements to facilitate the event, ensuring probity and transparency considerations.
That: 1. In recognition of Alderman Zucco’s service milestone as the longest serving Elected Member in the history of the Hobart City Council, the Council approve a two hour cocktail function for 80 persons in the Court Room, at a cost of $3328, to be funded from the City Government Function within the 2019/20 Annual Plan. 2. In the event of Alderman Zucco seeking to invite guests over and above the eighty people as approved by the Council, and thereby necessitating the relocation of the function to the Town Hall, all additional costs associated with doing so, such as hall hire fees, catering and invitation costs, including additional administration be funded personally by Alderman Zucco, subject to terms and conditions required by the General Manager to ensure the probity and transparency of arrangements. 3. The General Manager be authorised to facilitate the arrangements, as outlined in clause 3. 4. A policy be prepared for consideration by Council which acknowledges significant service occasions of Elected Members, which are not addressed within current policy provisions.
