Deputy Dukalskis

District Council of Grant appoints deputy mayor

Councillor Megan Dukalskis has been elected as the District Council of Grant’s Deputy Mayor. Councillor Dukalskis was appointed at last week’s council meeting. The initial vote for the position was tied the council’s November 28 meeting last year and was adjourned until absent councillors were in attendance.

Mayor Kylie Boston was pleased to have the role now filled.

“It was terrific to see multiple elected members put their hands up for the Deputy Mayor role,” Mayor Boston said. “I am delighted to work alongside Councillor Megan Dukalskis and congratulate her on the appointment.”

The selection will see Councillor Dukalskis work more closley with Mayor Boston and temporarily act as mayor in periods of absence or as required at civic and other ceremonial events.

Councillor Dukalskis was excited to be fulfilling the role as District Council of Grant Deputy Mayor.

“I am very happy to be appointed as Deputy Mayor,” Cr Dukalskis said. “I look forward to supporting Mayor Kylie Boston in her Mayoral role wherever the opportunity arises and work in collaboration with other elected members to support a progressive new look council serving our community.”

Discussion arose at last week’s council meeting around the term of the role with there being a greater opportunity identified to share the position amongst the elected member group. Council will consider this idea further at an upcoming meeting.
