forgo other services in order to get them
Response
This matter will be discussed at tonight's meeting.

The report recommends that the Town acts as an advocate for the community by
lobbying the State Government for more police officers. Specifically, which officers will
be doing it and when and how will they do it
Response
This matter will be discussed at tonight's meeting, however, the Director Community
Development suggested that it would be the Council who would lobby the State
Government.
Question 4
How can the graffiti removal service be referred to as successful when graffiti has not
been removed at City Beach Pre Primary School even though it was reported in the
Western Suburbs Weekly two months ago
Response
The Chief Executive Officer advised that unfortunately that incident had not been
reported to the Town and we did not pick it up from the newspaper article. The Town has
a good record of removing graffiti when it is reported.
