Ms Mulligan advised her name had been recommended for the Light Box Selection Panel. She expressed concern the criteria for Light Box subject matter appeared to be people-based. She said there did not appear to be scope for celebrating important historical events. She agreed to investigate the basis for the criteria and the names of members on the original selection panel. She further agreed to send a copy of the guidelines to Cr Lewis. She advised she was keen to investigate other forms of signage, including solar powered Light Boxes or other forms of signage without lighting.
