    MURRAY AND MALLEE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION. ANNUAL REPORT - 2003/2004. Comprising – The Berri Barmera Council; Coorong District Council; District Council of Karoonda East Murray; District Council of Loxton Waikerie; Mid Murray Council; The Rural City of Murray Bridge; Renmark Paringa Council; and Southern Mallee District Council. 2 PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL REPORT. Having been given the honour of being the President of the Murray & Mallee Local Government Association (M&MLGA) in June 2003, I would like to say a big thank you to those who served before me. The previous Mayor of Loxton-Waikerie, Jan Cass did a lot of work in her role as President of the M&MLGA and I would like to acknowledge her great contribution to our organization. We have been kept busy on the M&MLGA front with bimonthly meetings held in our Region that have been well supported by the member councils and we have enjoyed great communications from our LGA Executive. One of the main topics lately has been the Natural Resource Management Bill. We are all waiting to find out how it will all work and the input from State Executive has been great. Thank you. Ken Coventry has continued to serve the M&MLGA well as he organises all our guest speakers and represents us on a lot of other committees. He has, however, now indicated he wishes to retire as Chief Executive Officer of the M&MLGA and will stay in place until we appoint a new CEO. On behalf of the M&MLGA I would like to say a big thank you to Ken for his untiring work and dedication to his duty and he will be sorely missed.
