During this meeting, Horsham council will determine three items.
- Mayoral term of 1 or 2 years
- Election of the Mayor
- Whether to elect a Deputy Mayor or not (and the term if applicable).
HRCC Governance Rules state that a written nomination form for Mayor (and Deputy Mayor) must be signed by two Councillors and submitted to the CEO before the meeting.
IN OTHER NEWS:
If there is only one nomination, that councillor is duly elected.
If two or more nominations are received, then councillors must indicate their choice by raising their hand until one councillor receives the majority vote. In the event of a tied vote, the result will be determined by drawing lots.
The same process will be repeated if council decides to elect a Deputy Mayor.
Current Horsham mayor, Robyn Gulline said she will run if her fellow councillors nominate her.
