At the Council meeting on 12 March, Council resolved to advertise its intention to donate $3,000 towards the costs of reprinting the 430-page book, Tales From Two Cities. The notice of motion at the Council meeting is available in the document library.
Section 356 of the Local Government Act allows for councils to make donations. Where donations are to private persons/private organisations they must be part of an existing Council program or advertised for public comment. While the proposed donation fits into Category G Funding for Cultural Grants under Council's Donations Policy, the Cultural Grant Guidelines stipulate the upper limit of $500 for private individuals. The $3,000 donation is therefore being advertised for public comment.
Tales From Two Cities is written by Mark Butz and is on the relationship between Canberra and Queanbeyan through time and the contributions of diverse people, many of whom have been overlooked or forgotten.
The proceeds from the second run of over 350 books will go to two local charities, Treehouse Queanbeyan and Queanbeyan Respite Centre. Ian McNamee and family covered the costs for the author and printing of the first run of 400 books and all proceeds from these books have been donated to local charities.
