We will continue to be vigilant and directed by State Government advice and keep our finger on the pulse.

We know people are wanting to get back to shows, competitions and events as soon as possible and the Dogs Victoria team all want this to happen, as much as you. We are at the ready and will continue to provide you with updates on the status of running these events as soon as they come to light.

Our 90th Anniversary is fast approaching for Dogs Victoria.

This year we have been through some unprecedented challenges and the usual planning of celebrations, has somewhat been curtailed.

Become a

Dogs Victoria has been resilient through these months, and as a result of the hard work and dedication of our volunteers, members and staff, I extend my thanks for your contribution to our Association. Whilst we were planning ways on how we could all come together face-to-face, given the current state restrictions, the team are now working on ways we can acknowledge this special achievement in other ways.

FROM the Management Committee Dogs Victoria Facility Fund As members would be aware, the infrastructure at KCC Park is aging and in need of constant capital works projects to maintain and improve the facility to meet the requirements of our members. Our Bulla exhibition centre also requires ongoing maintenance to maintain its condition as an appropriate facility for the organisation.

Some key projects that are required to be undertaken at KCC Park include a fire services upgrade and a sewerage solution. Management committee tasked these projects to the KCC Park Facilities Committee in January 2018. Fire services works are critical for compliance under existing state and local regulations.

Management committee at their meeting held in August 2020 agreed that a $2 levy be applied on all Dogs Victoria transactions to fund major facility projects. All members will have the opportunity to manually opt out of the levy should they choose to do so.

The money raised from the levy will be corralled in a distinct reserve account – facility fund account, and a barometer will be used to demonstrate to all members on the progress of the fundraising.

We hope the below will assist in answering any further questions you may have regarding the facility fund levy

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: To what transactions will the $2 levy apply?

A: The facility fund levy will apply to all transactions. ( eg membership renewals, litter applications, transfers, prefixes etc ).

Q: Does the $2 include GST? A: GST will need to be applied; therefore, the total amount will be $2.20 per transaction.

Q: How long with this levy be imposed?

A: Management committee have not determined how long the levy will be imposed.

Q: Don’t we already pay a levy on canine research?

A: Yes, members pay $2 per puppy registration, this money goes to canine research.

Q: Is the facility levy compulsory?

A: No, members have the option to opt out. If using the online portal to pay for your membership renewal then you will be invited to opt in. You can do this by selecting to pay the $2 facility fund levy prior to finalising your payment.

Q: Can members and affiliates donate to the facility fund?

A: Yes, members and affiliates can donate to the facility fund. Please contact our office to discuss further.

Q: How do we know this levy will not be allocated to general reserves?

A: Management committee has agreed the funds raised from the facility fund will be kept in a separate account, the same way the money raised from donations to the bushfire appeal were kept in a separate account.

Q: What are the major projects the levy will be spent on?

A: Management committee have prioritised the following projects,

• fire services upgrade

• sewerage service upgrade

There are also smaller projects under review including,

• installation of a new sound system for the Boxhall

pavilion and exhibition area one

• tree planting of the west end (dirt pile)

• upgrade of Lyndhurst rooms as additional

required facility works Q: Will the money raised from the levy be spent at KCC Park only?

A: Management committee will consider all suggestions for the allocation of the funds raised from the facility fund.

Q: How will members know how much money has been raised from the levy?

A: A barometer will be published in the magazine and on the website.

Q: When will works commence?

A: Work on the fire services is due to commence in October 2020.

Q: Do the funds need to be raised before the works can commence?

A: No, Dogs Victoria will use money from our investment reserves to commence works on the fire service upgrade.

Q: Was there consultation with the Finance Committee about the levy?

A: Yes, the KCC Park Facilities Committee reviewed multiple funding options prior to requesting Management Committee endorse the recommendation for the money from our investment reserves to be used for the installation of the fire service, but a dedicated facility account be established to hold all funds for use on facilities and the reserves to be reinstated over time.

MINUTES OF THE 29TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING VICTORIAN CANINE ASSOCIATION INC. t/as DOGS VICTORIA Minutes of the 29th Annual General Meeting of the Victorian Canine Association Inc., held on Wednesday 22 July 2020, via online platform Vero Voting commencing at 7.30 pm.

Present: Jan Robinson (Acting President and Chair) John Hutchison (Chair Finance Committee) Matthew Monaghan (Chief Executive) Janet Davidson (Minute Taker) Members present: 306 voting members present as per the attendance records.

The meeting was opened at 7.30pm and chaired

by J Robinson (Acting President) who welcomed

attendees to the 29th Annual General Meeting.

Order of Business The chair noted that the Order of Business was in accordance with Rule 2.98 (Notice of Meeting) notice published in the 2019 Annual Report.

Apologies: Lee Turner, Margaret Kenna, Lea Cogley Appointment of Scrutineers The chair called for nominations of three scrutineers for the meeting. The following persons were duly appointed scrutineers Andrew Burt Wayne Douglas Dr Linda Beer 1. To confirm the minutes of the 28th Annual General Meeting of the Victorian Canine Association Inc, held on 22 May 2019. Minutes

of that meeting were published in the August 2019 Gazette.

J Baker requested the following amendment to the minutes under agenda item 5 – to appoint or re-appoint Auditors for the current financial year 2019.

J Baker advised that she did not doubt the authenticity of the auditor, and went to on to advise that in companies that she have worked with they have changed the auditor but not the firm.

Be amended to read J Baker advised that she did not doubt the integrity of the auditor, and went to on to advise that companies that she has worked in have retained different auditors within the same firm.

page 29 - Gazette October 2020

Motion: That the minutes of the 28th Annual General Meeting of the Victorian Canine Association Inc, held on 22 May 2019, with the above amendment, be confirmed as a true and accurate recording of proceedings.

Moved: M Higgins Seconded: J Wills CARRIED S Pretty raised a point of order regarding the nomination and appointment of the scrutineers.

The Chair advised she had asked for nominations for scrutineers at the commencement of the meeting and had received nominations from A Burt, W Douglas and L Beer. The Chair stated that a motion to appoint those persons as scrutineers in accordance with Rule 2.102.4 was put to the meeting and carried.

S Pretty then indicated she wished to suspend standing orders.

The Chair requested that Sheryl Pretty formulate and put a formal motion.

Motion: That the meeting suspends standing orders, address agenda items six and seven and then adjourn the meeting.

Moved: S Pretty Seconded: J Cooke The Chair advised that the Rules of the VCA gave no guidance in relation to a motion to suspend standing orders. Regulation 6.1.29 referred to the suspension of standing orders in two contexts – the first being on 7 day’s written notice of a motion to that effect, which had not been given by the mover, or upon the vote of a majority of the members of the Committee, which also did not apply.

The Chair then referred to the Model Rules which in Part 4 Section 30 (4) set out the requirements for an Annual General Meeting as including confirmation of the minutes of the previous AGM, receiving and considering the annual report of the committee and activities and the financial statements for the preceding financial year, the election of the committee and the annual subscriptions.

The Chair stated that dealing only with Items 6 and 7 of the 2020 Agenda, that is with the election of the new members and announcing life members would not satisfy the requirements of the Model Rules and would not therefore constitute an Annual General Meeting.

Given the lack of clarity in the Rules and Regulations of the association, the Chair decided to put the motion to the membership.

Motion: That the meeting suspends standing orders, address agenda items six and seven and then adjourn the meeting.

Moved: S Pretty Seconded: J Cooke Motion LOST (For: 44 Against: 114, Abstain: 9) 2. To receive the audited Income and Expenditure Account of the VCA for the last preceding financial year ended 31 December 2019 and the Balance Sheet as at that date.

J Hutchison, Chair Finance Committee spoke on the financials for the year.

page 30 - Gazette October 2020

Key Discussion Points / Answers to questions from the floor: Q: T McDonald – Where are the Audited accounts located in the Annual Report?

A: J Hutchison – The Audited Accounts were published in the May 2020 issue of the Dogs Victoria Magazine. A communication sent to members recently included six attachments, which should have been included in the May 2020 issue of the Dogs Victoria Magazine. Audited accounts are accounts that the auditor prepares.

Q: D Brace – Do these matters require the motion to be moved and seconded prior to the questions A: J Robinson (Chair) advised that the meeting was following the order of 2019 Annual General Meeting, allowing members to put their questions and receive explanations before having to formally receive the Accounts, given that there had been significant concern about the 2019 accounts.

Q: S Quinn – How do members deal with issues as a member. I am dealing with a council that advises I can only have two dogs.

A: J Robinson – Advised that while the meeting was taking questions on the audited accounts, she would address this issue briefly because of its importance to so many of the Association’s members. The Chair advised that Dogs Victoria had raised the planning permit issue with Animal Welfare Victoria and was meeting with the Minister for Agriculture on 29 July 2020.

The Chair then requested the meeting focus on the 2019 Audited accounts.

Q: P Ashton – How much did the mowing contracts costs for both Bulla and KCC Park?

A: J Hutchison – KCC Park $56,600, Bulla $15,900 in 2019.

Q: J Cooke – Please advise the total income raised from the Library shows A: J Hutchison - 2019 entry fees received $6,930.

Donations had been reflected under donations.

Q: J Cooke – Is there a provision for a hard copy of the Dogs Victoria Magazine?

A: J Hutchison – The Budget for 2020 formulated during December 2019 was premised upon the assumption that a hard copy magazine would be provided bimonthly and a digital magazine every month. This was a cost saving measure.

However, COVID-19, increased difficulties and expense due to the lack of availability of printers.

Dogs Victoria is aware that some members do not have internet access and will provide a printed copy for those members upon request.

Q: J Cooke – Was the scope for an Auditor put out to tender?

A: J Hutchison: This had been done and would be discussed under Item 5.

Q: J Cooke – Questioned the acting Chief Executive’s report published in the Dogs Victoria Gazette advising he was expecting a good end to the financial year, further he indicated an increase of term deposits A: J Hutchison – Advised that whilst the former Acting Chief Executive’s August 2019 report was accurate, it was nonetheless misleading to members. When depreciation and the redundancies were taken into account, the overall position would have been as the former Acting Chief Executive indicated but would not have physically represented an increase in the term deposits.

Q: J Cooke – Is Employsure listed as a consultant?

A: J Hutchison – Employsure have a 12-month contract that runs to December this year.

Q: J Cooke – Where is the compliance levy shown in the accounts?

A: J Hutchison – It is included in registration for litters, and used for costs relating to compliance staff. This year saw $214,000 expenditure on compliance and the income was approximately $150,000.

Q: J Cooke – What were the savings in replacing ground staff with contractor at the Bulla Exhibition Centre and KCC Park?

A: J Hutchison – The decision to make the grounds staff redundant was made by Management Committee after significant research and consultation was undertaken by the KCC Park Facilities Committee. This research indicated that significant savings and improvement of the grounds could be achieved by outsourcing maintenance to professional horticulturists. This decision included several facets – the wage and salary costs, plus the requirement to maintain and upkeep the required machinery. The wage and salaries component indicates a direct saving of $74,000, and further savings will be achieved in future years as Dogs Victoria will no longer be required to maintain and upgrade machinery.

The association did have some aging mowing equipment which was nearing the end of its useful life, and this must be included into any analysis.

Q: J Cooke – regarding Wages and Staff - what is the difference in the first quarter?

A: J Hutchison – Budget for 2020 first quarter was $319,000 Q: J Cooke – Is the number of staff and wages bill sustainable or cost effective?

A: J Hutchison – 2018 wages $1,325,000, decrease on previous year, the EBA had an increase in wages of 2.5%, 2019 results $1,325,000 adding 2.5% give a total of $1,358,000 Q: J Cooke – Where is the cost of furniture listed in Note 19 of the Auditors Report?

A: J Hutchison – The North Melbourne tenancy had a total of $13,020 spent on furniture, the combined total is the sum of $34,747.

Q: J Cooke – Please explain the payments under Plant and Equipment.

A: J Hutchison – Cash flow includes additional assets; portable building, computer server, computer equipment, office furniture.

Q: J Cooke –Please explain the payments under Repairs and Maintenance.

A: J Hutchison – This included repairs and maintenance at KCC Park to buildings, Classic building, grounds (drain and gazebo repairs), office, electrical works, reception area and the residents house. Bulla included repairs to building, grounds, plant and equipment repairs.

Q: J Cooke – Why are different membership numbers reported?

A: J Hutchison – There are several ways of measuring the membership of Dogs Victoria.

The measurement resulting in the lowest figure is counting each individual person who is a member of Dogs Victoria. However, there are many members who have more than one membership – including judges and syndicate members. Additionally, each affiliate is considered

a membership. Consequently, the number of total memberships is higher than the total number of individual people who are members of Dogs Victoria. On an individual person basis, we have just under 8,000 people who are members of Dogs Victoria. After taking into account other membership categories, such as joint membership, judges membership, affiliate memberships etc., total membership is in excess of 10,000.

Q: J Cooke – Please explain the payments under Bulla equipment and vehicles.

A: J Hutchison – This includes facility assets – carpark improvements.

Q: J Cooke – Please explain the payments under listing of Companion Dog Club.

A: J Hutchison – External consultant assisted with accounts, this was left in an earlier Budget, however it has been removed from 2020 Budget.

Q: J Cooke – Questioned the non-publication of quarterly accounts in the Gazette.

A: J Hutchison – As from the August 2020 Gazette, the quarterly accounts members will be published in the Gazette.

Q: S Hutchison – Questioned redundancy costs.

A: J Hutchison – Staff remuneration is an operational aspect of Dogs Victoria which is confidential and not disclosed due to privacy, however, total wages are always disclosed in each Annual Report. The total of redundancy payments for 2019 was $234,090 paid in accordance with the terms of the Enterprise Bargaining Agreement and was a major element of the loss of the Association for 2019. Redundancies were incurred in both December and January. Australian Accounting Standards applied to bring the January 2020 redundancy payments to account in the 2019 year. It was right and proper thing to bring these costs into 2019 to inform members as quickly as possible.

Q: D Lee – Will affiliation fees be reduced for clubs that will not have shows this year?

A: J Hutchison – Management Committee have made allowances for some affiliates that may find it difficult to continue. This is a matter for Management Committee.

Motion: That the audited Income and Expenditure Account of the VCA for the last preceding financial year ended 31 December 2019 and the Balance Sheet as at that date be received.

Moved: D Lee Seconded: W Henderson CARRIED 3. To receive and approve the Income and Expenditure Budget and Cash Flow Budget for the current year ending 31 December 2020.

J Hutchison, Chair Finance Committee asked for questions No questions received.

Motion: That the Income and Expenditure Budget and Cash Flow Budget for the current year ending 31 December 2020 be received and approved.

Moved: D Lee Seconded: S Cassingena

CARRIED 4. To receive and approve the Expenditure Budget and Cash Flow Budget for the period 1 January 2021 to 31 March 2021.

J Hutchison, Chair Finance Committee asked for questions.

Q: S Quinn – Was there any discussion about reducing membership fees for this financial year?

A: J Hutchison – Although there has been a reduction in members being able to utilise grounds, membership and litter registrations have increased. A decision on membership fees will be made by Management Committee. Any members experiencing hardship should contact Management Committee to discuss.

Q: S Hinton – Will any allowances or any sort of assistance for those heavily impacted by COVID-19 be made?

A: J Hutchison – this question was answered in previous answer.

Q: D Barclay – Will the Budget be reviewed if COVID-19 continues?

A: J Hutchison – This Budget was prepared in April this year. Budget talks commence in September, we will engage with chairs of performance and facilities subcommittees and obtain their feedback.

We will revisit the 2021 budget.

Q: K Miller –Will there be a refund or reduction in the 2021 membership fee given there is no printed magazine?

A: J Hutchison – The 2021 Scale of Charges has not been addressed at this stage. It is done with the Budget. Further this is looked at by the Finance Committee, with the first draft going to Management Committee with recommendations from Finance Committee which feeds back into the Budget. With the magazine proposed to be digital, I would expect someone that takes a digital copy would not pay as much as a hard copy.

This is the single biggest expense outside wages and runs in the order of $300,000 - $350,000 a year, a significant expense. We need support of members to assist with the decline of revenues.

Management Committee has embraced strategic plans to look at income from outside sources.

Q: D Barclay – Have external funds been secured for 2021?

A: J Hutchison – Yes we have been looking into this; website advertising, Royal Canin sponsorship retained, however we need corporate sponsors and these sponsors are under pressure due to COVID. We have recently launched a Wills program.

Motion: That the Expenditure Budget and Cash Flow Budget for the period 1 January 2021 to 31 March 2021 is received and approved.

Moved: J Roma Seconded: R Murphy CARRIED 5. To appoint or re-appoint Auditors for the current financial year 2020.

J Hutchison, Chair Finance Committee spoke on the three auditor firms who had responded to Dogs Victoria’s request for tender. These were Yates Partners; Eddy Partners and Accrue. The Chair Finance discussed each tenderer and

recommended that Yates Partners be ranked first, Eddy Partners second and Accrue last.

S Pretty – Was Regulation 6.2.3 complied with?

The Chair advised that there appeared to be some inconsistency between the Rule 2.97.2.6 which stated that the members in Annual General Meeting were to appoint or reappoint auditors for the current year, and Regulation 6.2.3 which as Sheryl Pretty was arguing stated that nominations for appointment to the position of Auditor shall close on 31 January preceding the AGM. S Pretty argued there was a conflict of interest if the Finance Committee recommended a change of auditor. She noted that members last year requested a change of auditor and that Management Committee is trying to undermine these Rules. Sheryl Pretty referred to her own motion regarding the appointment of Accrue to be appointed as Auditors for the current financial year.

John Hutchison argued that Sheryl Pretty’s nomination of Accrue also did not meet the requirements of Regulation 6.2.3 in that the Accrue tender was not received until 22 June 2020.

S Hinton asked whether any of the three companies have completed auditing for Dogs Victoria in the past and John Hutchison advised Eddy Partners are the current Dogs Victoria Auditor.

S Power advised she had concerns about the recommendation of the Chair of Finance Committee regarding the appointment of Yates Partners as Auditor. She believed that Management Committee were in full knowledge of conflict between the Rules and Regulations, and questioned why did they not do something about it.

The Chair advised that the apparent inconsistency only came to light in the preparation for the AGM. She advised that the Rules always override the Regulations.

Motion: That Dogs Victoria accept the recommendation of the Chair Finance Committee for Yates first, Eddy Partners second and Accrue third.

Moved: C Mutton Seconded: R Murphy CARRIED 6. To receive from the president and the chairpersons of other nominated committees their respective reports upon the activities of the VCA during the 2019 financial year.

The Chair advised VCA Life Memberships had been awarded to Clive Makepeace and David Hutson, and the Certificate for Canine Outstanding Contribution awarded to Rottweiler Tri Ch (T) (TS) T & S Grand Ch Kagiso Power Of One owned by Nicole Phillips.

The Chair congratulated each recipient for their outstanding contribution to Dogs Victoria and advised that the awards would be personally presented when COVID restrictions relaxed and allowed face-to-face meetings to be held.

9. To consider the adoption of ordinary or special resolutions submitted in accord with rule 2.97 (3) which states:

“At all annual general meetings of the VCA, no business shall be considered or discussed other than that of which notice has been given on the notice convening the meeting or any business which, in the opinion of the chairperson, shall arise out of such business”.

Special resolution means a resolution passed by a majority of not less than 75 percent of the number of members of the VCA who, being entitled to do so, attend and vote personally on the resolution at an Annual General Meeting of the VCA or a Special General Meeting of the VCA convened for the purpose of such resolution and notice of which meeting, specifying the terms of the resolution and the intention to propose of such resolution and notice of which meeting, specifying the terms of the resolution and the intention to propose and move the resolution as a special resolution, was given to all members of the VCA at least 21 days prior to the date of holding such meeting.

The Chair advised that Special Resolutions 17 to 27 inclusive had been withdrawn by their proposer who did not wish his motions to be debated on the Vero Voting platform.

10. Special resolution moved Lou Howlett seconded by Mathew Morse

will mirror the Local Government Act 1989 (Vic.) applying to multi-councillor vacancies.

To amend the Rule 2.70 Current: 2.70 Returning Officer (As amended 27.2.92, 16.4.96, 15.07.15 & 15/08/17) The Chief Executive shall call for tenders from election service providers for the conduct of elections for the Management Committee. An officer of the successful tenderer shall be the Returning Officer for each such election.

Replace with: 2.70 Returning Officer (As amended 27/2/92, 16/4/96, 15/07/15) The Chief Executive shall engage the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) for the conduct of elections for VCA Office Bearers and General Members of the Management Committee. An officer of the successful tenderer shall be the Returning Officer for each such election.

The Ballot papers will incorporate the ballot for President or Vice President as appropriate, and the ballot for members of Management Committee Elections. Only ballot papers completed and forwarded as provided for in the Regulations shall be accepted as Valid by the Returning Officer.

Rationale:

Rationale:

Dogs Victoria consistently utilise the VEC without the request for quotes for services in accordance with Rule 2.70. While tenders for these services have NOT been undertaken in the past, it was noted that these are highly specialised services and competitive tendering is not the most suitable or effective method of selecting a suitable provider.

The VEC is an independent and impartial statutory authority established under Victoria’s Electoral Act 2002. The VEC not only holds considerable experience in the conduct of Victorian State elections, local council elections, certain statutory elections and polls, it also has experience in undertaking elections on behalf of commercial and community bodies.

These rule changes have been requested by the Victorian Electoral. Commission to support the ongoing conduct of VCA elections.

Noting the specialised nature of these services, the conduct of a tender process to select such specified services is not an efficient and effective use of DV resources.

The proposer of the motion acknowledged that the Victorian Electoral Office had itself proposed the current wording of Rule 2.70 and accordingly withdrew Special Resolution 10.

MOTION: WITHDRAWN 11. Special resolution moved by Lou Howlett seconded by Mathew Morse To amend Rule 2.41 Current: Rule 2.41 Voting System (As amended 21/28.4.93/26.11.96/08/04/09, 15/08/17) Voting on ballot papers will be by partial preferential voting. The counting system for President and Vice President elections will mirror in the Local Government Act 1989 (Vic.) applying to singlecouncillor vacancies and the counting system for members of Management Committee elections

Replace with: Voting System (As amended 21/28.4.93/26.11.96/08/04/09, 15/08/17) Voting on ballot papers will be by partial preferential voting. The counting system for President and Vice President Elections will mirror in the Local Government Act 1989 (Vic.) applying to singlecouncillor vacancies and the counting system for members of Management Committee elections will mirror the Local Government Act 1989 (Vic.) applying to multi- councillor vacancies.

L Howlett spoke to the motion.

MOTION: LOST (For: 70 Against: 16 Abstain: 12) 12. Special resolution moved by Lou Howlett seconded by Mathew Morse To amend Rule 2.46 Current: Voting on Ballot Papers (As amended 15/08/17) Voters shall be required to complete their ballot paper by numbering consecutive preferences in the order of their choice. A valid ballot paper must show preferences beginning with ‘1’ and up to at least the number of vacancies to be filled in the election. Voters may indicate further preferences if they choose.

The Returning Officer shall provide appropriate instructions on the ballot paper.

Replace with: Voting on Ballot Papers (As amended 15/08/17) Voters shall be required to complete their ballot paper by numbering consecutive preferences in the order of their choice. A valid ballot paper must show preferences beginning with ‘1’ and up to at least the number of vacancies to be filled in the election. Voters may indicate further preferences if they choose.

Rationale: Whilst Rule 2.41 and 2.46 describe partial preferential voting, confusion lies when reference is made to single vacancy elections in the Local Government Act 1989. Voting in the Local Government elections is fully preferential requiring

voters to record an order of voting preference to all candidates.

M Morse spoke to the motion.

L Howlett spoke to the motion.

D Brace spoke against the motion advising the rationale did not match the request for a change to the Rule.

MOTION: LOST (For: 65, Against: 20, Abstain 4) The Chair advised the members present that due to the lateness of the hour, the Annual General Meeting would be adjourned to be reconvened on Wednesday 29 July 2020 at 7.30pm on the Vero Voting Platform.

Motion: That members agree to defer the meeting to next Wednesday 29 July 2020 at 7.30pm Moved: Seconded: CARRIED (For: 75 Against: 8, Abstain 2) Meeting Closed 12.45am Minutes of the 29th Annual General Meeting of the Victorian Canine Association Inc, reconvened on Wednesday 29 July 2020, via online platform Vero Voting commencing at 7.30 pm.

13. Special resolution moved by Lou Howlett seconded by Mathew Morse Current: Rule 2.56 (As amended 1.6.98) Nomination forms and personal profile forms shall be available on application to the Chief Executive of the VCA upon notice of same being published in the VCA Gazette and when completed by candidates both forms shall be sent direct to the Returning Officer.

Replace with: 2.56 (As amended 1.6.98) Nomination forms and personal profile forms shall be available upon request to the Returning Officer and when completed by candidates both forms shall be sent direct to the Returning Officer.

Rationale:

This is recommended to alleviate nominations submitted by potential candidates for an incorrect election as was the circumstance in the 2018 VCA elections for the President, Vice President and Management Committee.

P Ashton spoke against the motion, in particular because the proposed wording removed the obligation to publish the nominations and personal profiles in the VA Gazette.

MOTION: LOST (For: 75 / Against: 41 / Abstain: 9) 14. Special resolution moved by Lou Howlett seconded by Mathew Morse Rule 2.1.2.15 Current: To publish an official Gazette each calendar month as a means of communication between the VCA and its members and affiliated bodies.

Replace with: To publish an official Gazette each calendar month and information electronically on an ad hoc basis as a means of communication between the VCA and its members and affiliated bodies.

Rationale: The ability to exchange information as it becomes available has changed significantly since the rules were first developed. While the Gazette remains an important feature and an official means of exchanging information with the membership, it results in a significant delay in important information being exchanged with the membership. Rather, members receive information through informal channels which is subject to rumour and conjecture.

Formalising electronic channels of communication as an additional means of official communication for the VCA will facilitate streamlined communication with the membership and enhance transparency.

L Howlett spoke to the motion advising that the intention is to facilitate improved communication via the internet via the rules, to be able communicate effectively and more freely connect to members electronically via the internet.

Members that do not have internet, are able to be dealt with independently.

F Tipping spoke against the motion advising he disagrees with information going out electronically, on an ad hoc status.

F Ahern also spoke against the motion advising he believes it is important that members still get a printed copy of the Gazette, not all members are on internet.

T Bohl spoke in favour of the motion advising this is a timely motion given we are all transitioning during time in COVID-19, needing access to

timely information without prejudice, she believes this will allow this to happen, understands it isn’t on an ad hoc basis. Thus this motion is appropriately worded, given other than electronic communications, the motion allows other relevant information will continue to be communicated to members in the usual publications.

The mover summed up the motion advising this is not about the Gazette but about providing timely information as quickly as possible to all members, so they are able to access this information online in a timely fashion, which is the reason behind the wording of this motion.

MOTION: LOST (For: 77 Against: 51 Abstain: 6) 15. Special resolution moved by Sheryl Pretty seconded by Pauline Ashton Current: 2.106.1 The President or a majority of the other members of the Management Committee may convene a Special General Meeting of the VCA. 2.106.2 The President or a majority of the other members of the Management Committee shall on the requisition in writing of not less than fifty members convene a Special General Meeting of the VCA. 2.106.3 A requisition of members for a Special General Meeting: 2.106.3.1 shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting; 2.106.3.2 shall be signed by members making the requisition together with endorsement of VCA membership number for each person.

2.106.3.3 (As amended 1.6.98) shall be lodged with the Chief Executive; and 2.106.3.4 may consist of several documents in a similar form, each signed by one or more of the members making the requisition.

2.106.4 A Special General Meeting shall be specified as such in the notice convening it.

Replace with: 2.106.1 The President or a majority of the other members of the Management Committee may convene a Special General Meeting of the VCA. 2.106.2 The President or a majority of the other members of the Management Committee shall on the requisition in writing of not less than fifty members convene a Special General Meeting of the VCA. 2.106.3 A requisition of members for a Special General Meeting: 2.106.3.1 shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting; 2.106.3.2 shall be signed by members making the requisition together with endorsement of VCA membership number for each person.

page 33 - Gazette October 2020

2.106.3.3 (As amended 1.6.98) shall be lodged with the Chief Executive; and 2.106.3.4 may consist of several documents in a similar form, each signed by one or more of the members making the requisition.

2.106.4 A Special General Meeting shall be specified as such in the notice convening it.

2.106.5 The Chief Executive within 14 days of receiving the requisition for Special General Meeting, shall fix a date for the Special General Meeting no more than 2 months from the day of receipt, and notice of the meeting shall be under the provisions in 2.107 Rationale: This gives a clear direction for the Chief Executive to act upon a requisition for an SGM, and gives certainty to the members the SGM will be held in a reasonable timeframe S Pretty spoke to the motion arguing that this amendment gave a clear directive to the Chief Executive from members who submit a requisition that a date is to be set so that members are not left hanging on.

P Ashton spoke for the motion advising that the calling of a Special General Meeting was a right of members who wish to discuss important matters, and gives members confidence so they know if they need to bring something important up for discussion they can do this.

S Hutchinson spoke against the motion advising the CE is the recipient for the request for an SGM, she believes it is out of the scope of the CE to call a SGM for members.

K Gilbert spoke against motion – COVID has proven that we have to be flexible in matters as this, and this gives the authority to the CE, when authority should sit with the Management Committee, so this is changing procedure.

J Baker spoke in favour of the motion advising there has been a SGM email lodged which has been acknowledged in email however, no written correspondence to date.

S Power argued that the motion does not vest a power in the Chief Executive that otherwise rests with the Management Committee, that this is an incorrect notion as it does not give any authority to the Chief Executive but simply requires the Chief Executive to enact the requisition which is the Chief Executive’s job.

T Boal spoke for the motion which she argued reinforced the ability of members to exercise their rights and requisition a meeting and be provided with a timely response with a date for the Special General Meeting; the motion does not retract from the rights of the Chief Executive or Management Committee member, however, simply out of respect to the members requesting the special requisition, so they can be heard.

page 34 - Gazette October 2020

S Jawoski spoke against the motion advising on the face it seems to be a fair rule, however it is open for abuse, as individuals can request a Special General Meeting at any time as many times as they wish, which can be problematic if forcing Chief Executive to respond to a meeting request, causing members of the committee to resign.

W Hutchinson spoke against the motion because it does not allow appropriate time to allow members to be informed of the meeting via the Gazette.

C Moore also spoke against the motion arguing that the Chief Executive should not have authority to call a Special General Meeting and that it doesn’t allow enough time to prepare and have a meeting.

J Milford spoke in favour of the motion advising that being a mover of a special requisition, time has passed and there has been significant delays.

It is member’s rights to raise a requisition, vital members are given a voice in an effective manner.

J Hutchinson spoke against the motion under Rule 2.1.6.2 – management after receiving a requisition, conflict in the rule. Imperative for a SGM members are advised, 14 days is far too short for members to receive information regarding a SGM. J Harvey spoke in favour of the motion, stating that a Special General Meeting is the only way ordinary members can have their say, and it is therefore important the Chief Executive acts in a timely turn around without having to go through the Management Committee first which delays the process unnecessarily.

MOTION: LOST (For: 68 Against: 63 Abstain: 3) 16. Special resolution moved by Sheryl Pretty seconded by Pauline Ashton Current: 2.107.2 Notice of the meeting shall be deemed to have been given to each member if it is: 2.107.2.1 published in the Gazette; or 2.107.2.2 published in one of the daily newspapers circulating in the city of Melbourne; or 2.107.2.3 sent by prepaid post to each member at the members address appearing in the register of members referred to in Rule 2.14.

Replace with: 2.107.2.1 Notice of the meeting shall be deemed to have been given to each member if it is: published in the Gazette; and/or 2.107.2.2 published in one of the daily newspapers circulating in the city of Melbourne; and/or 2.107.2.3 sent by prepaid post to each member at the members address appearing in the register of members referred to in Rule 2.14.and/or 2.107.2.4 published on VCA social media such

as, but not limited to Facebook, email to members and website Rationale: VCA already uses social media to communicate with members, items of interest, and items of an urgent, or time critical nature. This increases method of communication to the members, and formally recognizes the fact VCA uses social media to engage with members.

S Pretty spoke to the motion advising that in the existing motion, each alternative is followed only by the term “or”, whereas in the proposed motion she has added “and/or”. The motion added increase ways of communicating to members through social media.

P Ashton spoke in favour of the motion advising the amendment takes into account that members want to receive information in different ways, some people don’t use social media, others do.

This resolution gives Dogs Victoria members the means to receive information in a way that best meets their needs by a variety of methods.

L Thomson spoke against the motion, saying it uses the words ‘and’ or ‘or’, whereas the previous rule just used the word ‘or’ which can be confusing, perhaps change it to omit the word ‘and’.

S Hinton spoke against the motion, due to the wording of the rule, this amendment would allow social media to be the only means of communication. It needs to be reworded to ensure the Gazette was added as a means of communication as well as, the words of the rule need to be amended to allow for varying forms of communication to be in the rule.

D Brace spoke against the motion arguing Dogs Victoria needs a variety of means to communicate to members, but it allows that any one of these four methods can be used as sole methods.

His view is that it needs to be one method of communication to members as the Gazette, either a hard copy or electronic copy. Whilst sympathetic to what is intended, he felt the wording of the motion needed further clarification.

M Gray spoke against the motion, appreciating the intent and commenting that there is no current VCA social media to communicate information only to members. She too would support a rewording of this motion but believed it important to set up a private VCA members only forum.

J Cooke spoke against the motion, a number of members don’t have access to social media or mobile phones, hence no information to VCA with the AGM, as it relied on digital communications only. Disenchanting members, causing them to walk away.

MOTION: WITHDRAWN 28. Ordinary resolution moved by Sheryl Pretty seconded by Pauline Ashton The members appoint ACCRU Accounting and Financial Services to position of Auditor of the Victorian Canine Association Inc, commencing this calendar year, and shall remain in the position until the members determine otherwise.

Rationale:

Members present at the AGM have repeatedly requested a change in Auditor for several years, as a “fresh pair of eyes”. ASIC recommend a change in Auditor each 5 years as a part of good governance, and as the current Auditor has been in place over 20 years (which I reported last AGM) it is well overdue our finances are subject to external scrutiny by an independent person.

This change does not in any way mean the current Auditors work is cause for alarm.

The Chair ruled that this motion was rendered redundant by the resolution of the majority of members to appoint Yates Partners as auditors for the VCA in Item 5, Wednesday 22 July 2020, noting 103 members voted in favour of the appointment of Yates Partners as Auditors, 21 members voted against and 7 abstained, representing a vote in favour of 83 per cent of members present and entitled to vote.

Motion: Dissent from Chair’s Ruling that auditor was appointed under Item 5.

Moved: S Pretty Seconded: P. Ashton The Chair referred to Rule 2.97.2.6 and Regulation 6.2.3 as being the rules and regulations relevant to the motion and read these to the meeting.

S Pretty argued that Rule 2.98.3 required that any business to be brought at the AGM required notice in writing to be brought to the attention of the Chief Executive by 31 January in that year and suggested that Management Committee had not put a tender out before 31 January 2020. She argued that she had complied with this regulation in putting forward her proposal that Accrue be appointed the Association’s auditors.

S Pretty contended that as a member of the Finance Committee the Chair was conflicted in ruling that the motion was out of order because the question had been put and answered in Item 5 in that the recommendation was made by Finance Committee to Management Committee.

J Hutchison, Chair of Finance Committee, spoke against the motion arguing that the Rules override the Regulations and Rule 2.97.2.6 requires the members to “appoint or reappoint” the auditor at each AGM and accordingly the wording of S Pretty’s motion that Accrue be “appointed until the members determine otherwise” is inconsistent with the Rules. Further J Hutchison argued that Regulation 6.2.3 referred only to the requirements of appointment and not reappointment and given that the particulars of both Yates Partners and Accrue had not been provided by 31 January 2020, a literal reading of the Regulation would mean that Eddy Partners would have to be reappointed. Elaborating, J Hutchison explained that no auditor had put in a tender for the position by 31 January 2020, that tenders by Accrue and Yates were received in June, but a tender was not required by Eddy Partners as that firm was seeking reappointment, not appointment. No member of Finance Committee has any association or interest with any of the

three auditors. Yates was chosen a new set of eyes based upon their experience and legal of materiality being suitable for the VCA and were appointed by the members at the AGM. S Power contended that the purpose of the motion of dissent in the Chair’s ruling was not to question the appointment of the auditor but to argue that the correct process had not been followed, and reiterated that the Chair, being a member of Finance Committee which put forward the nomination, was conflicted.

R Bridgford spoke against the motion noting that S Pretty had not disclosed Accrue’s proposed fees to members thereby preventing members from making an informed decision in the best interests of the Association. R Bridgford suggested that the appointment of Accrue could be financially costly for the Association.

K Gilbert spoke against the motion, noting that the proposer had posted comments on social media, and called for honesty by the proposer and mover of the motion for dissent in addressing the agenda underlying the nomination of this particular firm as the VCA’s auditor, and what the proposer hoped to uncover by the appointment of this particular auditor.

K Sneath suggested that governance requirements could be met if a different accountant within Eddy Partners was appointed as the Association’s auditor.

In summing up, the Chair requested that the proposer, S Pretty address the second part of Regulation 6.2.3 requiring the nomination to include the period of appointment and conditions and fee for the period of the Audit.

S Pretty summed up the motion advising that neither of the proposals for Eddy Partners nor Yates Partners had been submitted by 31 January 2020 and accordingly the process had not been followed properly, and that the Chair had a conflict of interest in that she was a member of the Finance Committee which had put forward the nomination for Yates Partners.

P Ashton, seconder of motion reserved her right to speak. P Ashton stated that had general members put forward nominations after 31 January 2020, they would not have been approved to be put on the agenda. P Ashton denied that she had any interested in Accrue.

MOTION: LOST (For: 29 Against: 78 Abstain: 4) The motion of dissent in the ruling of the Chair having been lost, Special Resolution 28 was not put and the meeting moved to Special Resolution 29.

29. Ordinary resolution moved by Jan Cooke seconded by Heather Simpson Where Members and/or Club Secretaries have no email contact details, hard copies of membership

renewals and any correspondence directed to Clubs be sent to the respective member/Club Secretary’s address in hard copy.

Rationale: There should also be an option for all members on renewals to indicate if they wish to receive hard copy Gazettes.

J Cooke spoke to the motion, noting that she was aware of complaints that some members, including Life Members, were not receiving information from the office; that this was unacceptable, and that the Association must cater for members who are not able to communicate electronically by producing communications in hard copy.

The seconder to the motion had emailed a statement which was read to the meeting by the Chair.

H Simpson supports this motion as many members do not have the technology to receive electronic copy. The annual membership should be covering the cost of the Gazette; a letter should be sent to all members requesting members advise which form of communication should be received.

S Power advised there needs to be a structured approach on how we deal with our members, and the way some of our long-term members have been excluded by not receiving any communications if not with technology is unacceptable.

C Darby spoke against the motion advising not all clubs have the funds to extend communications to members both ways, it extends too far.

MOTION: CARRIED 30. Special resolution moved Frank Tipping, seconded by Dianne Lee Current: 2.97.2.3 to receive from the President and the Chairpersons of other nominated committees their respective reports upon the activities of the VCA during the last preceding financial year; and Replace with: 2.97.2.3 to receive from the President and the Chairpersons of nominated and elected committees their respective reports upon the activities of the VCA during the last preceding financial year; listing number of meetings held, the names of each Member and their attendances record and Rationale: As was mentioned at the 2019 AGM I agreed with the motion submitted by Ms Sheryl Pretty but felt it was better served under a current rule with

page 41 - Gazette October 2020

amendments without creating a new sub-clause. It now lists both elected and nominated committees for clarity.

F Tipping spoke to the motion, explaining that this Rule was a refinement of an amendment from the 2019 AGM designed to provide clarity and transparency.

D Lee chose not to speak.

There were no further speakers for or against the motion.

The mover summed up the motion advising recommend to the members wanting more transparency with how people are elected and appointed and advised of their attendance at the meetings.

MOTION: CARRIED (For: 77 Against: 22 Abstain: 11) The Chair thanked members for attending and participating in the meeting and declared the meeting closed at 11.29pm.

VCA REGULATIONS 4.4.4 Except as provided for in these Regulations any member selling, supplying or disposing of a dog to another person must supply to that person the signed registration certificate duly completed with the name and address of the person and the transfer date, within one calendar month of disposal unless Management Committee otherwise directs. A member shall not include any contractual provisions contrary to this regulation. (15/11/11) 4.4.5 Any member who sells a registered

dog without transfer of registration to the purchaser must obtain the agreement of the purchaser in writing that the dog will either not be transferred into the name of the purchaser or deregistered with the VCA. 4.4.6 A member shall not sell any dog in such a manner as to cause the purchaser to believe the dog being sold is registered with the VCA if it is not. (15/09/19) 4.4.6.1 A member may indicate during the sale that a dog which is not as yet registered with the VCA is intended to be registered in accordance with Regulation 4.1.3.

LITTERS REGISTERED - AUGUST 2020 ANKC LTD REGULATIONS Part 6 Section 8 Breeding 8.3 All bitches eight years of age and over at the time of a mating must have a current veterinary certificate stating that the bitch is in good health at the time of breeding.

A current veterinarian certificate is defined as being within three months prior to the mating.

(Added BOD 10/11) 8.4 First generation (father/daughter, mother/son, brother/sister) matings are not permitted. ANKC Ltd Member Bodies will not register the progeny of father/daughter, mother/son, brother/ sister matings on the Main Register unless application was made to the Member Body and approval was given prior to the mating on the basis of health or genetic reasons to the benefit of the breed. Any breach of this regulation will constitute an offence by the member/members who are the owners of the sire and dam of the litter. The progeny resulting from such a breach will be registered on the Limited Register and endorsed ‘never to be upgraded’ and any further penalties may be determined by the member’s member body. (Added 10/10, 6.7) (Amended EAP 07/11) (Amended 10/14, 7.5.6) 8.5 First Degree Mating protocols: (Added 10/12, 6.6.1) 8.5.1 Applications shall be made prior to the mating to the relevant ANKC Ltd Member Body and the following information is the minimum required for the Member Body to make deliberation: a.
