8 MOTIONS ON NOTICE

8.1 NOTICE OF MOTION - CR NAOMI BITTNER - PRESENTED TO 13 JUNE 2018 COUNCIL MEETING

Document #: 18/40756

I, Councillor Naomi Bittner, give notice that at the next Ordinary Meeting of Council to be held on 13 June 2018, I intend to move the following motion:-

RECOMMENDATION

That all future Council meetings and formal public meetings and events hosted by Council include, in their opening, an Acknowledgement of Country.

REASON

After nearly four years on Council now, I have been to quite a number of meetings and functions hosted by other Councils, the Local Government Association of South Australia, the Australian Local Government Association, other levels of government and government departments. Without fail the opening speaker always acknowledges the native name and traditional owners of the land.

Given that we are now officially acknowledged as the Narungga electorate, I think it is more than time that we follow suit.

I commend this Notice of Motion to Council.

Item 16.6

16.6 CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT GRANTS COMMISSION



PURPOSE

To provide Elected Members with correspondence received from Mary Patetsos, Chair of the Local Government Grants Commission, in relation to new legislation that will govern future changes to Council boundaries.

RECOMMENDATION





BACKGROUND

The Local Government Boundary Adjustment Facilitation Panel has been the body responsible for management of changes to Council boundaries under the Local Government Act 1999 in the past.

New legislation will come into force on 1 January 2019 that will significantly reform the processes within the Local Government Act 1999 that govern changes to Council boundaries. The Local Government Grants Commission was requested to prepare the Guidelines for the operation of the new boundary change process.

DISCUSSION

The Chair of the Local Government Grants Commission, Mary Patetsos, has written to Council seeking comment on the draft Guidelines and advice on any boundary change proposals that are being considered.

The draft guidelines have been prepared and are available on the Office of Local Government’s website at www.dpti.sa.gov.au/local_govt. An extract from the Introduction in the guidelines is included below.

The Local Government (Boundary Adjustment) Amendment Act 2017 (the Amendment Act) reforms the legislative provisions that govern how council boundaries can be changed under the Local Government Act 1999 (the Act). Legislative framework

The legislative framework that underpinned the Amendment Act was based on review work undertaken by the Office of Local Government (OLG) and the Local Government Association (LGA), as overseen by the Premier’s State/Local Government Forum. The Act therefore reflects the principles and processes for local government boundary adjustments and reform that were endorsed by the LGA Board and the Premier’s State/Local Government Forum. To give effect to the framework, the Amendment Act amends Chapter Three, Part Two of the Act to allow for a more efficient process to progress minor boundary changes, and to enable freer debate and discussion on more significant boundary change proposals. The legislation will commence on 1 January 2019.

http://www.dpti.sa.gov.au/local_govt


Item 16.6

Key elements of the Amendment Act

The Amendment Act removes the limitations and inefficiencies in the current boundary change processes contained within the Act. Some of these include current restrictions on who can initiate reform proposals, burdensome procedural requirements and the necessity for two or more councils to agree with reform proposals from members of the public. The key elements of the Amendment Act are:

a simpler and broader initiation process, allowing proposals to be initiated by a single council or the Minister for Local Government;

the introduction of a simplified pathway for administrative (minor) proposals;

establishing the Local Government Grants Commission (the Commission) as an independent Commission to undertake the initial assessment of proposals, oversee investigations, and make recommendations to the Minister; and

independent analysis of general proposals—significant boundary changes, amalgamations or significant structural reform—by one or more investigators with the relevant expertise for each proposal.

an independent analysis of significant boundary change or amalgamation proposals, by investigators with expertise relevant to each proposal.

Department: Corporate and Community Services

PURPOSE

RECOMMENDATION



Goal: 4 Community Engaged and Supported

Strategy: 4.4 Continue providing community grants, donations and sponsorships

BACKGROUND

The AGL Wattle Point Wind Farm Community Fund has been designed to support communities affected by the AGL operations in the Yorke Peninsula Region. Applications for funding opened in November 2017 with $30,000 being made available to community groups. Successful applicants were advised in December 2017 by letter and informed that projects/acquittals were to be completed by 30 June 2018.

DISCUSSION

Two (2) community groups, Curramulka Community Club and Edithburgh Museum, have approached Council to advise that their projects will not be completed by 30 June 2018 and have requested an extension in relation to their grant funding.

These requests were sent to AGL representative, Matt Osborne, for consideration. Mr Osborne, on behalf of AGL has fully supported and approved the extension for both of these projects.

The requests and AGL’s supporting approval were forwarded to the Grants Working Party (GWP) for information and feedback. Members of the GWP also supported the extensions. No further action is required by Council at this time.

Item 19.1

19 DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

19.1 INSPECTORIAL REPORT


Department: Development Services

PURPOSE

To inform Council of the activities of the Inspectorial Team.

RECOMMENDATION




Strategy: 5.3 Meet all legislative requirements and compliance with Council’s internal controls

BACKGROUND

This report provides Elected Members with information relating to activities of the Inspectorial Staff.

DISCUSSION

During the past month Council’s Rangers have dealt with many routine matters including by-law compliance, nuisance complaints, abandoned vehicles and dog and cat management issues.

Wandering Dogs

A dog was impounded as a result of a complaint in relation to wandering at large on the foreshore at Sultana Point. The dog was returned to its owner the following day after recieving payment of the impounding fee. The owner was cautioned in regard to the dog wandering at large.

In addition, a Point Turton resident received an Expiation Notice as a result of their dog wandering at large.

Dog Attack

A Stansbury resident reported that she suspects a neighbour’s dog has killed approximately 80 of her ducks and chickens. Inquiries are continuing in relation to this incident.

A Foul Bay resident of Hundred Line Road reported the neighbour’s three dogs had been regularly roaming on their land. It is reported that the dogs were recently observed on the land attacking/harassing poultry. A Dog Control Order is being placed on the dogs and the owner will be issued with an Expiation Notice.

A Ranger was called out after hours to a school in Maitland as a result of two dogs harassing people trying to exit a meeting room at the school. It was reported that as soon as a door was opened the dogs jumped at the door and were very aggressive. The dogs were seized and subsequently impounded. Staff checked the security of the dog’s yard and interviewed the owner of the dogs to ascertain how the dogs escaped. The dogs were subsequently returned upon the payment of an impounding fee. Dog Control Orders will be placed on both of the dogs and an Expiation Notice will be issued to the owner as a result of the incident. The Ranger ascertained that both dogs’ registrations are current.


Item 19.1

Bush Camping

Rangers have conducted regular patrols at the bush camping reserves. Those campers that had not obtained a bush camping permit prior to setting up camp were requested to obtain a permit in the normal manner. The numbers of people using the Bush Camping locations has dramatically decreased in the last month. One Expiation Notice was issued to a group of campers who set up camp illegally at the Ardrossan boat launching facility.

Boat Ramps

Routine patrols of boat ramps have been performed to ensure that users are paying for the use of the facilities. Five notices have been placed on vehicles where a launch permit/ticket could not be observed. Those who can produce a valid permit/ticket and reason why the ticket was not displayed are cautioned for failing to display the ticket. Three Expiation Notices have also been issued to persons using the facilities that have not complied with Council’s by-law in relation to the use of the boat launch facilities.

Traffic Management

Council Rangers routinely patrol all townships for traffic management, including foot patrols, paying particular attention to disabled parking bays and vehicles parking on yellow lines. An Expiation Notice has been issued to the driver of a vehicle stopped adjacent to a continuous yellow line in Ardrossan.

An elderly resident of Yorke Valley has been cautioned for parking in a disabled car park in Maitland, whilst not the holder of a disabled permit. She was encouraged to make application for a permit.

A vehicle was left abandoned in Shannon Terrace, Maitland. The vehicle is suspected of being left at that location by persons that were involved in criminal activities in the vicinity. The vehicle has subsequently been impounded.

Fire Prevention

The fire danger season concluded on 30 April 2018.

It has been noted over the years there has been a significant reduction in the amount of burn-offs conducted. This year we only issued 148 permits, which resulted in 462 notified burn-offs. It is pleasing to note that 354 (76.6%) of these burn-off notifications were done by the permit holder online, which has assisted to reduce Council’s administrative resources.

Comparison data is provided below for information.

Local Nuisance and Litter Control

Several complaints have been followed up in relation to smoke becoming a nuisance as a result of persons burning off in townships. If a person is burning and the smoke becomes a nuisance or is likely to be a nuisance, the person responsible for the fire may be issued with a $500 Expiation Notice.

Many complaints are being received in relation to nuisance being caused by the excessive number of pigeons in many locations. A professional shooter has been engaged by Council to undertake a

22.3 REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT - ADELAIDE CITY COUNCIL



PURPOSE

To seek Council’s views on a request for funding support received from the Local Government Association on behalf of Adelaide City Council.

RECOMMENDATION A

That Council don’t support the request for funding from the Local Government Association on behalf of the City of Adelaide.

or

RECOMMENDATION B

That Council agree to support the request for funding from the Local Government Association of $482 on behalf of the City of Adelaide.




BACKGROUND

The Local Government Association has a policy in place allowing for requests for funding support to be submitted where a Council is involved in litigation that has the potential to impact local government across the state.

DISCUSSION

Correspondence has been received from the Acting CEO Local Government Association on behalf of the City of Adelaide seeking financial support for a Supreme Court action that was subsequently dismissed in December 2017.

Elected Members may recall where Yorke Peninsula Council (YPC) was able to seek funding via this Local Government Association (LGA) policy for a legal case in relation to recovery of Waste and Recycling collection charges.

When YPC utilised this LGA policy, Council sought financial support prior to undertaking the Court Action to ensure that all information and a determination on indicative costs were known prior to the Court Action being taken. YPC did not receive any financial support in this instance.

In this case with the City of Adelaide defending its position in the Supreme Court, the court action dates back to Officer actions taken in relation to Fines Enforcement and Recovery in 2014 and has been ongoing for some time.

The Supreme Court dismissed Mr Consenza’s application in December 2017. Council received the request for funding support dated 25 May 2018 which was considered by the LGA at their Board Meeting held on 18 May 2017 according to their correspondence.

23.1 FINANCIAL REPORT AS AT 31 MAY 2018



PURPOSE

For Council to consider the financial report and capital projects update report as at 31 May 2018.

RECOMMENDATION

That Council receive the financial report and capital projects update report as at 31 May 2018.



Strategy: 5.1 Openness and transparency of reporting Council’s performance

5.2 Effective leadership and informed decision making

BACKGROUND

A financial report and a capital projects update report (projects over $25,000) is presented monthly for Council’s consideration in accordance with Policy PO142 Budget Reporting and Amendment. These reports encompass results to the end of each calendar month preceding each scheduled Council meeting.

DISCUSSION

The attached financial reports are submitted with the following qualifications, comments and notes:

Actuals included in the Uniform Presentation of Finances (UPF) are as incurred at close of business on the last day of the month being reported and may be subject to end of month adjustments. Any such adjustments will be incorporated in the following monthly report.

The reports do not include year-end income and expense accruals.

Both reports include year to date Commitments i.e. orders raised but not yet paid for.

Attachment 1 - Uniform Presentation of Finances (UPF)

o Note 1 - Rates, Service Charges (Waste, CWMS and Water), NRM Levy and Rate

Rebates, totalling approximately $22m, have been raised for the entire 2017/2018 financial year but are due and payable either in full in September 2017 or by quarterly instalments in September 2017, December 2017, March 2018 and June 2018.

o Note 1 - grants, subsidies & contributions of $3.6m received to date.

o Note 1 - dog registration income totalling approximately $112k has been collected.

o Note 1 - income from building and planning activity of approximately $170k and

septic tank registration fees of approximately $31k is included.

o Note 1 - also included here are approximately $659k of reimbursements and

miscellaneous income.

o Note 1 - $3.2m collected for user charges (boat ramps, caravan parks, cemetery

fees, hall hire, etc.) are included in the total income.


Item 23.1

o Note 2 - the following major expenditure has been paid in advance during various

times in the 2017/2018 financial year as per the required payment terms with the goods and services to be delivered over a period of time:

Memberships/Subscriptions/Contributions/Donations: $535k;

IT Licence Fees: $230k;

Plant & Equipment Registration: $139k.

o Note 2 - commitments of approximately $1.3m include orders worth approximately

$436k for waste management and refuse collection and disposal services in 2017/2018.

o Note 2 - finance costs (interest on loans) of approximately $245k are included.

o Note 2 - depreciation for eleven months of the financial year (being 11/12ths of the

2017/2018 budget estimate) has been included in the YTD expenditure.

o Notes 3 & 4 - commitments of approximately $3.1m for various capital projects,

details of which can be found in Attachment 2 of this report.

Attachment 2 – Capital Projects Update Report

o All Year to Date expenditure in this report includes invoices paid to date and orders

outstanding. The total of this amount is then compared against the current budget to provide the budget remaining.

o It should be noted that the month end balances in the capital report are different to

those in Attachment 1 – UPF. This is due to the UPF reflecting the actuals as at the last day of the month, whereas the capital report includes some month end adjustments, correction to existing purchase orders and raising of new ones, backdated journals and correction of incorrectly allocated amounts. Making these adjustments means the report shows expenditure incurred as well as expenditure forecast for the remainder of the year along with budget remaining against each project.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS

PO 142 Budget Reporting and Amendment Policy


This is the second last update prior to the end of the 2017/2018 financial year. With one (1) month of the financial year remaining, financial performance remains on track against the revised Budget.


Item 23.1

Elected members should note that the third quarterly review of Council’s 2017/2018 budget as at 31st March 2018 has been completed and was endorsed by Council at its May 2018 meeting.

Expenditure on capital projects including commitments continues to increase as projects progress towards completion. With one (1) month of the financial year remaining, 8% of budgeted capital funds remain to be committed. The majority of projects carried forward from 2016/2017 are complete or nearing completion.

It should be noted that staff have been made aware by its suppliers that delivery of the replacement street sweeper on order will be delayed. Initially delivery was expected in May 2018, however, due to factors outside Council’s control it will now be delivered in late July 2018. The unfavourable impact on Council’s capital renewal expenditure (and subsequently its Asset Sustainability Ratio (ASR)) in 2018/19 will be approx. $391k. Council is committed to this expenditure and as such budget funds will need to be rolled over during the 2018/2019 budget revision.

The ASR will be further impacted by the ongoing Footpath Replacement capital project. The $1.5m project although entirely budgeted for in 2017/2018 is a two (2) year project, with completion expected in December 2019. A substantial part of the project budget will remain unspent as at 30 th June 2018 and will subsequently be rolled over to 2018/2019 for completion of the project, pending Council endorsement of rollovers in August 2018. This is likely to have a substantial impact on the ASR for 2017/2018 and 2018/2019.


Monthly financial reporting provides a transparent and comprehensive reporting regime that allows Council to track performance against financial targets established in its annual budget.

Council risks being seen as not being transparent if financial performance is not reported periodically and Elected Members could be asked to make decisions without knowing the impact on Council’s financial position.

There is a significant risk that non-achievement of agreed milestones for grant funded capital projects could result in a delay in Council receiving grant funds, not receiving funds or having to return funds already received. This would have a significant negative impact on Council’s budget and cash flow.

23.2 SPEED LIMIT REVIEW RESULTS UPDATED



PURPOSE

To inform Elected Members of the latest outcomes of the speed review consultations and to seek endorsement of these outcomes prior to making recommendations to the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI).

RECOMMENDATION

That Council:

1. endorse the recommendation to DPTI for the application of a 30 km area speed limit for the Parsons Beach Township;

2. endorse the recommendation to DPTI for the permanent location of the 30 kph (previously 50 kph) speed sign in its current position east of Bush Track, Parsons Beach;

3. endorse the recommendation to DPTI for the application of a 30 km area speed limit for the Bluff Beach Township;

4. endorse the recommendation to DPTI for the application of a 30 km area speed limit for the Port Rickaby Township; and

5. endorse the recommendation to DPTI for the application of a 50 km town speed limit for the Stansbury Township (DPTI proposed new town area).



Strategy: 2.6 Install and upgrade appropriate traffic control device management


Strategy: 4.12 Continuous improvement in communicating with and engaging the community

BACKGROUND

In December 2016 a Motion on Notice was moved by an Elected Member, and subsequently carried, requesting staff conduct a review of all township speed limits that currently are not governed by the default speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour. This motion also determined that Council would consult with the community in the affected towns to establish whether they prefer to be governed by the default speed limits or prefer the application of area speed limits considered appropriate in each town.

Item 23.2

DISCUSSION

Since 1999, the introduction of the Australian Road Rules default speed limit in built up areas of 50 kilometres per hour (kph), has been applied in South Australia.

There has been some confusion across several Yorke Peninsula towns where speed limits of 10, 30 and 40 kph have been posted without confirmation of an area speed limit being endorsed by DPTI.

Due to the existing inconsistent speed limits, anomalies can exist whereby drivers can encounter situations where the nature, design and layout of the road does not change yet the speed limit does.

This review is therefore intended to address the current inconsistencies.

Residents were consulted via:

public notice in the YP Country Times, an editorial in the YP Country Times;

letters with the survey forms sent directly to all ratepayers in the town (including a reply paid envelope; and

website and Facebook postings with links to the on-line survey form;

The consultation process was first piloted with residents of Sultana Point during the period 1 - 30 May 2017. Townships consulted during 2017 included The Pines, Couch Beach, Foul Bay, Port Moorowie, Hardwicke Bay, Chinaman Wells, Balgowan, Pine Point-Billy Goat Flat, James Well/Rogues Point and Sheoak Flat. Reports have been submitted to previous Council meetings for the endorsement of applications to DPTI in relation to these towns. It was decided that results of the consultations would be brought to Council every three (3) to four (4) months.

Consultation has subsequently continued throughout March and May 2018 for the following towns:

Stansbury

Parsons Beach

Bluff Beach

Port Rickaby

The results of these consultations are provided as an attachment to this report.

The result in Stansbury was a strong vote for a change to 50 kph throughout Stansbury as defined by the proposed new township area.

The results in Parsons Beach, Bluff Beach and Port Rickaby were an overwhelming change to the current limit of 50 kph to be reduced to an area speed limit of 30 kph, in line with other shack communities.

Item 23.2

The next step for Council is to recommend to DPTI the change to the specific area speed limits as determined by the consultation.

If approved, Area Speed Limits will apply to all roads within the areas defined by “Area / End Area” speed limit signs.

Wool Bay and Black Point communities have now also requested a review of their current speed limits. Staff now intend to continue consulting with these and other affected towns as detailed within the attachment to this report. It is expected that all consultation will be completed by September 2018 and a final report will be submitted to Council on completion.


Level 2 - Consult

The affected communities are provided options via the survey forms.

This project does not have a specific budget. The cost of public notices and reply paid envelopes has been absorbed within existing budgets. Council has increased the hours of the Communications and Engagement Officer by one (1) day a fortnight to facilitate this project (for a maximum period of 15 months). The additional wage cost has been sourced from organisational salary savings (i.e. some positions not fully backfilled during maternity leave).


All recommendations outlined within this report must be approved and gazetted by the Department of Transport, Planning and Infrastructure before any change to signage can be implemented by Council.

23.3 LIGHT CHURCH EDITHBURGH - COMMUNITY GRANT EXTENSION



PURPOSE

A request has been received from the Light Church, Edithburgh for Council to formally consider an extension in time for the application for funds approved as a Community Grant in 2017/2018.

RECOMMENDATION

That Council endorse an extension of the Light Church, Edithburgh 2017/2018 Community Grant of $2,800 to 30 June 2019.



Strategy: 4.4 Continue providing community grants, donations and sponsorships

BACKGROUND

Light Church, Edithburgh have been held up with the completion of their project to rebuild the carols stage. This is due to the unavailability of volunteers to oversee the project due to unforeseen family issues.

DISCUSSION

The Light Church, Edithburgh is currently undertaking a project to construct a replacement stage to be used for community events. Events include Edithburgh’s Carols by the Sea, Relay for Life and a Day at the Burgh.

The design process is completed and Light Church, Edithburgh have advised Council they believe the construction of the project will be completed by October this year.

The delay is mainly due to the current unavailability of volunteers with the engineering and welding skills needed to complete the project.

All grant funds are allocated to the purchase of materials however, the construction work is to be completed solely by volunteers.

The Light Church, Edithburgh was awarded a grant for this project of $2,800 as a result of its successful application to Council’s 2017/2018 Community Grants Scheme for assistance with this project. The grant was endorsed by Council at its September 2017 meeting.
