Among other things the mayor was authorised to acquire land and create a Council Forest. The main purpose of the Council Forest Project some Council Officials explained was to fight Climate Change, enhance reforestation, create jobs as well as revenue from logging activities. 

Dr. Nchanji Germanus Ndi was also empowered to acquire land and funds to construct a Cattle Ranch. The ranch in question will involve all existing grazers in the Noni Subdivision. Following a heated debate concerning the feasibility of the Council Ranch Project, it was explained that neither the Farmers nor the Grazers would be negatively affected by the project.

Another decision arrived at was the creation of a Council Cemetry. It was also agreed that Feasibility Studies would be carried out for the realisation of projects in the Council Development Plan CDP. 

The mayor was further empowered to acquire land and funds to create and develope a Palm Plantation in the Subdivision. It was equally agreed that a Triennal Development Plan be crafted for the Council.

Meantime, it was agreed that a Council Logo should be created as well as a Standard Telephone Line. 

Considering that Transporters in Noni do not yet have Official Transport Rates, the mayor and some Council Officials emphasised on the need for this issue to be looked into. 

Also present at the meeting were some development stakeholders from the Subdivision as well as the Second Deputy Mayor Shey Doris Beri.
