Names have not been revealed but leaves Cr\u2019s Keogh, Bingham and Dudzik on the list.<br \/>\nThe new program includes a clause which would provide the Mayor with an extra option in dealing with conflict between councillors.<br \/>\n\u201cIn the event the Mayor is unable to negotiate agreement between the Councillors the service providers could also be engaged by the Mayor or Councillors in dispute as an informal measure. Failing that the formal process is implemented.\u201d<br \/>\nNo information is available on how much the monitor will cost council, but costs are anticipated to be high with Terry Bramham attending at least two council meetings per week.<br \/>\n\u201cIn addition to working with Councillors, Mr Bramham would also review Officer reports to assess whether these are meeting the needs of Council. It is anticipated Mr Bramham would be engaged over the next 3-4 months.\u201d<br \/>\nThe program also includes mentoring for councillors, which is expected to be absorbed into current allowances for mentoring and which are expected to be itemised in the end of year financials generated by council.<br \/>\n\u201cIt is suggested that a mentoring resource be established for Councillors to make confidential contact with and engage services that range from personal support, councillor development and strategies for dealing with stress and complexity.\u201d<br \/>\nImproving councillors\u2019 \u201cculture\u201d is at least one aim of the program.<br \/>\n\u201cThe intent of the proposed Councillor Development and Assistance Program is to support skill acquisition, establish and promote a positive culture, along with offering workplace (OHS) and counselling options.\u201d\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201cThe program will also aim to ensure that good governance is instituted which is demonstrated in decision-making, compliance with legislation and constructive relationships.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kate Taylor A monitor has been appointed to Moorabool Shire Council, and the ratepayer is footing the bill.
