IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION 16(5) OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT (MEETING PROCEDURES) REGULATIONS 2015
File Ref: F20/26576; 13-1-9
Alderman Briscoe
“That the Hobart City Council immediately institute emergency measures to help stop or reduce the fast spread of the COV-19 virus in Hobart.
The measures to include but not limited to: 1. Supplying hand washes to all its public venues, including the Doone Kennedy Aquatic Centre, the Town Hall, the City Hall, Youth Arc, sporting venues and all the city’s toilets. 2. To consider a long term strategy to address such future outbreaks in partnership with the state and federal health authorities. This emergency plan should be of the same importance as our bushfire and flood plans. 3. That the HCC encourage and request all businesses and institutions to instigate similar measures. 4. To immediately stop all interstate and overseas travel to conferences and meetings etc by officers and elected members. 5. To take any other steps justified by this emergency Including increasing cleaning of public facilities and providing better protection measures for our staff. |
Rationale:
“Now there is a confirmed case of the virus (and may be more by the time this motion is debated) in Hobart on an individual that has a wide contact with the public of Hobart it is now vital that HCC up its efforts to contain and reduce the spread of the virus. If we can slow the progress of the virus in conjunction with the State Health Department we can save lives and protect our citizens and visitors. Once in the community (as seen in Italy) it can spread rapidly.
Hobart has a central role to play in this medical emergency due to the numbers of people that come into the city to work, shop, for education and for entertainment.
The option to close major sporting venues and other public gatherings will need to be considered but as this stage, the measures I have suggested may slow the infection rate.
The World Health Organisation has reported “The outbreaks reported so far have occurred primarily within clusters of cases exposed through close-contacts, within families or special gathering events. COVID-19 is primarily transmitted through droplets from, and close contact with, infected individuals. Control measures that focus on prevention, particularly through regular hand washing and cough hygiene, and on active surveillance for the early detection and isolation of cases, the rapid identification and close monitoring of persons in contacts with cases, and the rapid access to clinical care, particularly for severe cases, are effective to contain most outbreaks of COVID-19.”
The General Manager reports:
“In line with the Council’s policy in relation to Notices of Motion, I advise that the matter is considered to be within the jurisdiction of the Hobart City Council as as it relates to the operations of the Council.”
13.2 Corona Virus - Procurement Practices
File Ref: F20/30297; 13-1-9
Alderman Zucco
“That an urgent report be prepared for Council to consider its current procuring, purchasing and operations processes in particular the short to medium term and give preference to firstly Local Tasmanian and secondly other Australian businesses. The report also consider any other avenues the Council is able to assist local business during the current COVID-19 crisis. The report also consider any immediate or impending purchases and review any that can be reviewed. That if required an urgent workshop followed by a special Council meeting be called to discuss options and or delegated authority be provided to the General Manager to pursue such in the short term so that assistance is provided immediately under delegation.”
|
Rationale:
“It is obvious that the current Covid 19 crises is affecting businesses and the general public in Hobart Tasmania, Australia and the World. The Hobart City Council on focusing on procuring local may assist these business in employing local which will have a direct impact on all ratepayers.”
The General Manager reports:
“In line with the Council’s policy in relation to Notices of Motion, I advise that the matter is considered to be within the jurisdiction of the Hobart City Council as it relates to the operations of the Council.”
13.3. Corona Virus - Economic Impact Businesses
File Ref: F20/30381; 13-1-9
Alderman Behrakis
“That a) The Council notes the impact the current Corona-virus pandemic (COVID-19) is having on the local economy, including small businesses, as well as those who work for them. b) The Council gives consideration that all funding set aside to sponsor Dark MOFO be redirected to support local businesses impacted by COVID-19. c) An urgent report be provided to Council as to how these funds would best be allocated to achieve the most effective assistance to the local economy.”
|
Rationale:
“The rapidly evolving Coronavirus (COVID-19) brings with it not only serious health risks to our city, but is also having, and will continue to have a tremendous impact on the local Hobart economy. Unlike many larger organisations conducting business in our city, many small businesses do not have the resources or infrastructure necessary to weather the storm. This crisis has the potential to result in the closure of businesses and loss of jobs if no remedial action is taken.
Given the cancellation of Dark Mofo, the Council has the opportunity to use
funds earmarked for financial support for the event to do what we can to
support local businesses that are being affected the most by this
crisis.”
The General Manager reports:
“In line with the Council’s policy in relation to Notices of Motion, I advise that the matter is considered to be within the jurisdiction of the Hobart City Council as as it relates to the operations of the Council.”
