Acknowledgement - Ross Gallagher

Resolution number MR/2020/186

MOVED by Chairperson J Allan, seconded by Member D Pizzini:

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) acknowledge the retirement of Ross Gallagher. Ross was initially hired by Manukau City Council in the 1980’s to paint the Manukau City Council office building. A popular and hard worker, Ross became a permanent staff member, initially with the Parks department before joining the Events team. In this role, Ross covered roles as an event organiser, and an event facilitator before moving on to working as an operator delivering events throughout the Auckland region.

Ross has outlasted many organisational structures, events vehicles and even council buildings. He has always been proud to deliver value for many communities involved in local board events and assisted other organisations such as Lions and Rotary, helping wherever he could. Known for always going the extra mile, Ross is leaving an enormous legacy and will be sorely missed by many, including us, the Manurewa Local Board. We thank him for his 35 years of service and wish him the very best in his new endeavours.
