Attendance

66 of 84 Council meetings attended · 4 on approved leave · 13 with an apology · 1 absent with no apology recorded. Ordinary and special Council meetings from 3 Nov 2020, from the attendance section of the minutes. Approved leave is granted by Council in advance. The minutes don't say why a member gave an apology, and neither do I.

The minutes of 28 Mar 2023 do not list Viktor Ko as present, but do record a vote cast by Viktor Ko at that meeting, so I count it as attended.
