Murray Stewart Alderman June 2004 - March 2012 Deputy Mayor 2008

“For the council as a whole, the elected members and staff you provided professionalism, loyalty and stability. For Alice Springs you and your lovely wife Janet have provided your wonderful community values, to me personally great mentorship and friendship. On your last night at council may I wish you all the best for your future, I look forward to catching up with you on the streets of Alice so we can continue our chats without the work pressures and responsibilities. Well played Rex, thank you.”

Robyn Lambley

Member for Araluen

Alderman 2004 – March 2008

Deputy Mayor 2006

“I wish to pass on my regards and best wishes to Rex, given this is his last meeting with the ASTC. Rex Mooney has set the bar very high when it comes to diplomacy and competency in local government. Putting up with all those elected members (including myself) over the years, he deserves a gold medal! Rex is respected for his ability to get things done. Managing a large organisation like the ASTC is no easy feat. Apart from anything else, Rex is a great bloke. Enjoy your retirement Rex. You will be missed.”

Liz Martin

Alderman / Councillor

April 2008 - March 2017

“I'd like to say I really enjoyed my time working with you. You are one of the most resiliant and patient people I know. There was many a time I felt like jumping the desk and strangling someone on your behalf. But you always smiled. I often draw on your strength. We are all so much richer for your love and dedication to our beautiful town like Alice. I am certainly richer for having had the privelage to work with you. I truly wish you and Janet a wonderful retirement.”

John Rawnsley

Alderman 2008 - 2012

“A few years back when I reflect on his role, Rex was very much a mentor for me and I’ve

learnt significantly from the way he approaches things and the professionalism and

standards he sets for others. Of all the people I’ve worked with, he stands out for the

leadership he displays and commitment and dedication to his work and helping

others. Thank you Rex, for allowing me to learn from you and hopefully pick up a few

things. I say this with seriousness - there’s something about the confidence you exude, the

tone of voice, the thoughtfulness, the not so funny jokes, that reminds me of Barack

Obama.”

Chansey Paech

Member for Namatjira

Councillor April 2012 - August 2016

“It is with utmost respect and regard that we bid farewell, I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to work along such a professional and committed CEO over the years. I’ve taken relief in knowing that you’ve been at the helm of our council as your commitment for our town has alway shine brightly and will always be appreciated and acknowledged.

With your leadership the council has gone on to achieved many great things for our town.

I’ll look on with much interest to see if the future CEO’s will have that amazing skill you’ve got when it comes to running citizenship day ceremonies without mispronuncing a single name, thanks you for playing such a strong role along side the council in growing and shaping me as a person. All the best to you and your beautiful family and I look forward to seeing around a great town.”

4 -- CNCL 29/07/19

Thank you message from Director Technical Services Scott Allen:

“Tonight is one of the last opportunities for staff to acknowledge the outgoing CEO, Mr Rex

Mooney. Tonight is your 365th Council meeting during your time as CEO at the Alice

Springs Town Council. For 16.5 years or 6052 days as of 31 July 2019, Rex has been the

corner stone of this organisation. Many words have been spoken in regards to Rex but for

the staff of the Alice Springs Town Council, one word reigns supreme, stability.

Rex, from the staff at Council, thank you for all of your efforts over the past 16.5 years.

There has been good and bad times, laughter and crying, achievements and setbacks,

pro’s and con’s, spread sheets vs meetings books, gold stars, fun times and times where

decisions need to be made and were. Your continued acknowledgement of staff during your

tenure is appreciated. Your words ring true that while we are not public servants, we are

here to serve the public.

You have always described us as the silent service. You are always proud of the fact that

Council completes its work before, during and after events all the while knowing that the

community is potentially unaware of the service delivery by as you call them, the silent

service. Service delivery for not only events, but the delivery of the essential services for

the community on a daily basis. Masters Games, AFL Match, BBL matches, Anzac Day and

many others are all examples of this.

Staff were asked to make a one word comment about your role as CEO and the following

words were offered:

• LOYAL

• GENTLEMAN

• PROFESSIONAL

• SUPPORTIVE

• LEADER

• APPROACHABLE

• FRIENDSHIP

• EMPATHY

• UNASSUMING

• THOROUGH

• TRADITIONAL

• UNDERSTANDING

• WISE

• GUIDANCE

• FISCAL

• CALM

• DILIGENCE

• INTEGRITY

• CAUTIOUS

• METICULOUS

No one is irreplaceable but some are harder to replace than others. You certainly fit into the

harder to replace than others category. One of the most important components of when you

leave a job is how you will be judged. There is no doubt that you have made the Alice

Springs Town Council and the community of Alice Springs a better place to work and live

in.

Rex, on a personal level, thank you for everything you have done for me and my family.

From the community, thanks for everything and all the best with your future endeavors. On

behalf of the Directors, Executive Assistants, Managers, Supervisors, Team Leaders,

Council Officer and Council Employees, thank you for everything you have done for us

Thanks Rex.”

Rex Mooney responded to the messages delivered in the Chamber.

Rex Mooney received a standing ovation from the Gallery.

4.1 Mr Russell North - Library

- Concern about the groups of youth in the Library and an incident last Friday.

Response from Acting Director Corporate and Community Services Simon

Page 13: MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY 29 JULY 2019 AT 6:00PM IN … · minutes of the ordinary meeting of the thirteenth council held on monday 29 july 2019 at 6:00pm in council chamber, civic

13 -- CNCL 29/07/19

Following discussion at the last meeting, the Committee agreed that more information

should be sought from Rotary Henley on Todd Inc., regarding the equipment requested in

terms of durability/longevity of the product.

The Manager Community and Cultural Development reported that Kate Walsh,

Community Projects and Events Officer, contacted the product sales representative and

was given the following advice:

The inflatable wheels come with a six-month warrantee only. Any manufacturer/factory issues can be returned within six months. Options to extend the warrantee for twelve months would be approximately $220 per wheel. If there are any issues outside of the warrantee, the company can fix, send back to the factory at their own costs, repairs will be charged.

Longevity of the product depends on the amount of use. If stored correctly and diligent on moving them, i.e. no dragging, could last up to three years.

Recommended surfaces – grass that is being swept and sticks and stones removed. Not to be used on concrete, asphalt or stones.

Following discussion, the Committee agreed not to support the application as it is not

suitable for the purpose.
