Ruling questions chairman casting vote at council
A ruling by the assessors to the Municipal Association states a meeting chair may not always hold a casting vote. The issue arose after a chairman cast a vote to rescind a prior council motion while councillors were evenly divided on the law. Lawyers say a majority is required to rescind, making the casting vote ineffective. Also noted are South Australian Railways nine months to March earnings and a Bendigo eucalyptus oil production forecast.
