Public Officials Report Highlights City Matters and Elections
The report notes election expectations for a new Commissioner of Crown Lands after Saturday's polls. It records council attention to drug licenses, public safety due to mobs of horses and cattle on main roads, cab driver licensing, and animal culling. Financial figures show receipts and expenditures, with several balance figures across ferries, quarry, and special rate accounts.
