READ NOWCouncillors also rejected a staff recommendation that former Pro Subi executive director Annaliese Doesburg be appointed to the EBSC with full voting rights.
The council will make a decision at its meeting tonight.
Cr Lynley Hewett said that since the City employed Ms Doesburg to run Visit Subiaco, the move would overturn a previous decision to block staff members from having voting rights on committees. The position of a Pro Subi member on the EBSC will remain vacant until committee composition is reconsidered at the October special council meeting.
