After voting for their mayor and deputy mayor for the next 12 months, councillors will re-elect delegates for 18 council committees and 12 community or organisation committees.
Council will also select the dates and locations of its monthly meetings for the next 12 months, including hosting March’s meeting at Bribbaree.
The sale of land with unpaid rates has arisen once again, this time for seven outstanding lots.
Eighteen lots went under the hammer at Young Town Hall last November.
Properties were selling for prices between $400 and $11,000, with the average being about $3000.
Council will consider February 11 as the date for the next auction.
Councillors will decide whether or not the new proposed Young Aquatic Centre entry fees for the 2014-2015 swimming season will stay.
Hardest hit will be local aged pensioners, going from a free entry to having to pay $2.50 each per visit or $120 for a season ticket.
Family, adult and child prices have also increased by about 12 per cent, with $280 for a family season ticket, $150 for adult and $120 for children.
Council will look to disperse $22,500 from its 2014-2015 Local Heritage Fund, which is subsidised by the NSW Heritage Office.
Council received 15 applications for heritage grants, ranging from $1000 to $3000.
Young’s Show public holiday maybe become an “event day” next year, with council considering the NSW government’s proposal for the change.
“This means if you work on that half-day holiday, you don’t get paid overtime and it doesn’t cost the business money,” Mr Vlatko said.
Council will also look over its annual financial statements tonight which sees it operating with a surplus rather than a deficit.
