At Tuesday nights council meeting the following motion below was passed unaminously which basically puts everything on hold until independent legal advice is obtained.
I feel at this stage it was the best possible motion that could have been passed.
Earlier in the night a petition of 781 signaturies in support of the Mckinnon Basketball Association and its bid for weekend allocation at the the new GESAC sports and aquatic facility was presented to Council - in front of a packed gallery of several hundred families and players,
As noted in previous postings I have been advocating strongly for a better outcome for our local community clubs and will continue to do so.
Item 12.4
Crs Lipshutz/Magee
That Council;
1. Reiterates Council’s desire to maximise community use of GESAC.
2. Recognises the expressions of interest of both Warriors Basketball
Association and McKinnon Basketball Association in supporting Council’s objectives at GESAC.
3. That Council seek independent legal advice as to whether the communication between Council and Warriors Basketball Association;
(a) constitutes a legally binding agreement; and
(b) stops Council from cancelling the allocation awarded to Warriors Basketball Association at GESAC.
4. That pending receipt of the legal advice Council not execute any agreement or contract with respect to the allocation of the basketball courts at GESAC.
5. That this resolution be incorporated within the public Minutes of this meeting.
The MOTION was put and CARRIED unanimously.

Independent legal advice, that might not be as independent as you think. Who pays the fiddler calls the tune. You maybe setting a trap for yourselves. Newton is a cunning as a SHR. He will box you in with your interdependent legal advise. I though Mr Tang, Mr Lipshutz and Mr Hayms were lawyers. I wouldn't play there games. I would do what you think is right for Glen Eira and leave the CEO to clean up the mess. After all he created it. If he does not like it he can go.
