Dear wise and loving father, first I thank you on behalf of all who are gathered here today. Thank you for your many and abundant blessings. Thank you for life itself, for the measure of health, we need to fulfil our calling, for sustenance and for friendship. Thank you Lord for the ability to be involved in useful work and for the honour of bearing appropriate responsibilities. In the scriptures, you have said that citizens ought to obey the governing authorities since you have established those very authorities to promote peace in order to fulfil justice. To have peace. Therefore, I pray for our Mayor, for our Councillors and the various levels of the city officials and in particular for this assembled Council. I am asking you Lord that you would graciously grant wisdom to govern, a sense of the welfare and true needs or our people, a keen thirst for justice and righteousness, personal peace in their lives and joy in their task. I pray Lord for the Agenda set for today, please give an assurance of what would please you and what would benefit those who live and work in and around our City of Greater Dandenong. It is in your name that we pray. Come Lord bless us, keep us and give us your strength and love. In the name of the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit, Amen." Page 3867 City of Greater Dandenong ORDINARY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES TUESDAY 13 JUNE 2017 Statement from Mayor Jim Memeti: "I would like to welcome a group from Council’s Young Leader’s program tonight who are here to watch the Council meeting. Council’s Young Leaders Program: provides young people with the opportunity to develop skills in a range of areas; supports young people to lead, develop and implement community projects as part of their experience; gives young people the opportunity to have a voice on issues in Greater Dandenong that impact them; assists in developing young people into effective leaders within the community . I recently met with these young leaders and we discussed advocacy, local government and political systems. Attending the Council meeting tonight supports their learnings about local government processes - and the role of Councillors - and gives some context to the participants of the program for their ongoing engagement in the community and the delivery of their community projects later in the year. So, on behalf of all the Councillors, I welcome them here tonight". 1.3 CONFIRMATION OF MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING Ordinary Meeting of Council held Monday 22 May 2017.
