NRS-16869 | Health Committee reports [Leichhardt Council]

This series consists of reports from meetings of the Health Committee of Leichhardt Council. The reports date from 6 March 1907 and comprise of recommendations made by the committee to Council. The recommendations were not binding upon Council unless, and until, adopted by Council as shown in the minutes of the Council meeting. Any recommendations made could be rejected by Council or sent back for further discussion and amendments.The arrangement of the entries is chronological, by date of meeting. The earlier reports are handwritten while the later reports are typed. Recorded in the reports are the meeting date and time, and the names of persons attending the meeting. The reports have been signed by the committee Chairman and sometimes stamped with details of adoption by Council.Matters dealt with in the reports include the appointment of the Chairman and Vice Chairman; submission to Council of reports by the Sanitary Inspector; the drafting, review and adoption of health-related Ordinances issued under the Local Government Act 1906; directions for work to be carried out by the Sanitary Inspector, Engineer etc.; the serving of notices on residents and expenditure of funds.From 1942 onwards the minutes and reports of each committee meeting were combined into the one document. (See the committee minutes series, NRS16868, for the combined minute and report documents.)Section 109 of the Municipalities Act of 1867 (31 Vic. No.12), which was assented to on 23 December 1867, allowed municipal councils to appoint either standing committees or occasional (special) committees, composed of councillors, and to delegate to the committees 'any inquiry negotiation or arrangement or power to do any emergent act or to carry out any work which such Council may have ordered agreed to or directed'. However, Committees had to report to the council at the earliest opportunity.
