CR-2              BANNING GREYHOUND RACING

Author:          Councillor Paul Funnell

 

Recommendation

That Council:

a       write to Premier Baird calling for him and his Government to reconsider their position on banning greyhound racing in NSW

b       forward a copy of the written request to all NSW members of Parliament

 

Report

The NSW Government has set down, that greyhound racing be banned in NSW as of July 2017. The purpose of this report is to write to the Premier and all members of the both houses of NSW parliament, urging them to reconsider the said position and take a democratic approach to this matter and put in place a moratorium that will give the entire industry and all stake holders an opportunity to rectify any issues identified in the recent McHugh report into the greyhound racing industry.

 

This recommendation in no way supports any acceptance of any animal cruelty or unsafe practices of any kind. This is about requesting that a proper democratic process be followed and that participants of the sport be given an opportunity that should be given to any sector. Particularly one that impacts on so many sectors of the community.

 

In the event that greyhound racing is banned, this will have flow on effects throughout the State and will directly impact on the Wagga Wagga LGA. Ratepayers of Wagga, for example, already support the Show Society to the amount of $9850.00 annually via rate support. There are several hundred participants within this sport locally on a regular basis that bring jobs and economic benefit to the city. One of our many functions as a Council is to try to facilitate and support economic benefit to our region.

 

Whilst this letter as requested may be at the eleventh hour, it is important that when considering what is important to the economic fabric of our region, the fact that even when sometimes decisions have already been made, in the true spirit of doing what is right, one should never give up.

RP-3               RURAL FIRE SERVICES - ZONE ARRANGEMENTS & FUNDING MODEL

Director:       Richardson, Craig          

 

Recommendation

That Council:

a       endorse the apportionment of contributions to the NSW Rural Fire Services within the Riverina Zone as detailed in the body of the report

b       authorise the Mayor and General Manager to pursue the follow up actions with the Minister for Emergency Services and the Treasurer as detailed in the body of the report

c       note and approve the budget variation/s as detailed in the budget section of the report

 

Report

Executive Summary

The intended purpose of this report is to confirm the apportionment between member Councils of the Riverina Zone of the Rural Fire Services (RFS) following the departure of the former Urana Shire Council and to support the actions endorsed at the meeting between Coolamon, Lockhart, Junee and Wagga Wagga Councils on 3 August 2016.

 

Report

 

Apportionment of Contributions

 

The current and proposed apportionment of contributions between member Councils is shown in the table below:

Total

100%

 

The proposed apportionments were endorsed at the zone meeting held in Coolamon on 3 August 2016 subject to confirmation by resolution of each respective Council.

 

The apportionments reflect the historical averages of contributions over the last ten year period and all Councils present at the last meeting did not see any need to change the status quo.

 

New Funding Model

 

The previous formula for calculation of contributions was determined by the estimated operating costs for each district and zone, capital cost of plant and equipment replacements, brigade sheds and a portion of NSW headquarters administration and support expenses. Each zone contributes 11.7% of the total of these costs and the zone apportions the contribution to each member Council as per the table above.

 

The new funding model applies from 1 July 2016 and has been simplified in that each zone pays a nominated portion of the total state budget for the Rural Fire Fighting Fund (RFFF). The portion allocated to the Riverina Zone is 2.7% and this has been determined based on the 20 year history of allocations to that district.

 

The advantage of the new funding model is that it evens out fluctuations in contributions for years where there is higher than normal plant and equipment and building replacements. The contribution amount is far more predictable.

 

The concerns are:

 

·        Council will no longer have to sign off on estimate bids. The RFS have indicated that consultation will still occur but there is less opportunity for individual Councils to influence the final result.

·        Councils have traditionally received a reimbursement of the 11.7% on the VASS charges from the previous. The RFS will no longer provide this reimbursement. Council has budgeted to receive $90,000 for this reimbursement in 2016/17 and for each year of the Long Term Financial Plan.

·        There seems to be little incentive under the new funding model for the State to reduce or remove inefficiencies in their operations. The average increase in the overall RFFF over the last five (5) years is 3.72%. This is more than double the rate pegging limit of 1.8% for 2016/17.

 

Emergency Service Levy

 

Council will commence the levy of the Emergency Services Levy (ESL) on behalf of the NSW State Government from 1 July 2017. There has been very little consultation with Councils to date and the specific details of the levee including amounts, exemptions, rebates etc are not yet available. It is expected this consultation will commence later this calendar year.

 

From the limited information available it is clear that the State does not intend to capture the contributions made by Councils within the ESL. Therefore Council will pass on the collection of the ESL from property owners as well as continue to include the annual contributions to the RFFF as a component of ordinary rates levied.

 

This issue was discussed at the Riverina Zone Meeting and it was agreed that a more simple and transparent basis would be for Councils to include its own contribution to the RFFF as a component of the ESL. This would also remove the frequent mismatch between the increase in the statutory contribution to the RFFF and the rate pegging limit.

 

Follow up Actions

 

The agreed follow up actions from the meeting at Coolamon on 3 August 2016 are as follows:

 

 

Lobby the Minister for Emergency Services and the NSW Treasurer via Local Government NSW and the Local Member for the State to:

 

a.   include the statutory contribution to the RFFF as a component of the ESL.

b.   remove or reduce inefficiencies in the State budget with a view to containing future increases within the rate pegging limit applied to Councils.

Budget Summary

The changes to the funding model for the RFFF has a significant impact on Council’s overall budget commencing from the 2016/17 financial year.

 

The adjustments for the Rural Fire Service contributions noted in this report are proposed to be funded from identified operational savings, with some future years in the LTFP showing a small deficit balance.  This is due to the current inability to find savings for the full amount of the adjustment proposed.  These small deficit balances which total $170,198 over the life of the current LTFP will be considered during the compilation of the 2017/18 LTFP.

·        Council experienced a positive monthly investment performance for the month of July and is currently tracking on budget for the full financial year

Report

 

 


OPERATING INCOME

Total operating income is 7% of approved budget which is on track to budget for the end of July (this percentage excludes capital grants and contributions). An adjustment has been made to reflect the levy of rates which occurred at the start of the financial year. Excluding this adjustment, operating income received is 100%.

 

OPERATING EXPENSES

Total operating expenditure including $2.2 million in commitments is tracking at 10% of approved budget. Excluding commitments, the percentage expended to the end of July is 8%.

 

CAPITAL INCOME

Total capital income is 1% of approved budget. Please note that the actual income from capital is influenced by the timing of the receipt of capital grants and contributions relating to the project.

 

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

Total capital expenditure including commitments is 4% of approved budget. This figure includes the budgets for both RIFL ($25.3 million budget for 2016/17) and MPS ($9.2 million budget for 2016/17). Due to the finalisation of the 2015/16 financial year figures, carryovers have not been reflected and will be shown in the August 2016 Report which is reported to the September 2016 Council Meeting.

Council has been notified by StateCover that we will receive $107K for a mutual performance rebate. The rebate is 10% of the actual base tariff premium for 2015/16 and will be made in two (2) equal instalments during quarters two (2) and four (4) after the policy renewal date. The funds will be placed in the Fit For The Future Reserve.

 

Corporate IT Applications

$15K

 

($15K)

Council’s Fit for the Future Improvement Proposal includes an annual increased targeted income from fees and charges of $300K. LG Solutions offer a comprehensive software product for the review of all Local Government Council fees and charges. The software also has the ability to ensure that Council remains compliant on GST issues. The annual cost for 2016/17 which includes implementation is $15K, with future years’ annual costs budgeted at $10K (allowing for a 3% increase per year).

Section 356 Donations

$10K

Section 603 Income ($10K)

Nil

As per RP-6 in the August Council Report “Section 356 Donation – Trust of the Tarcutta Recreation and Race Course Ground” funds are required for the construction of a new amenities block at the Tarcutta Recreation and Race Course Ground. It is estimated that the income received for Section 603 Certificates will exceed original budget.

National Art Glass Gallery Acquisitions

$17.5K

Art Gallery Reserve ($17.5K)

Nil

The Art Gallery is planning to acquire a piece of work by acclaimed glass artist Elizabeth Kelly, Perilous. The work is valued at $45K with Council securing a discounted price of $35K. The Art Gallery acquisition budget has an annual allocation of $17.5K, so it is proposed to bring forward the $17.5K budgeted in 2017/18 and pay the reserve back in 2017/18.

 

2 – We are a safe and healthy community

Parks & Recreation Purchase of Plant

$15K

Recreational Programming ($5K)

City Presentation ($8K)

$105K

Operational Savings ($5K)

Traffic Lighting Subsidy ($34K)

 

($66K)

This unfavourable budget variation is separately reported in the August Council Report RP-3 “Rural Fire Services – Zone Arrangements and Funding Model”.  The funding required for this unfavourable budget variation is funded from the additional funds to be received from the Traffic Lighting Subsidy and also the removal of the Flood Pump upgrades and Upgrade of Stormwater Pit Lids mentioned in the below budget variation.

Flood Pumps Progressive Upgrade ($40K)

Upgrade of Stormwater Pit Lids ($41K)

($81K)

 

 

$81K

The Flood Pump Progressive Upgrade and Upgrade Stormwater Pit Lids are recurrent budgets in 2016/17 and future years. These budgets will be relinquished and any requirements for future works will be undertaken via a new project plan and budget request. The replacement of stormwater pit lids will be completed as per normal damage replacement requirements and funded solely through existing maintenance budgets when required.  This favourable budget variation is proposed to be used to partially offset the RFS unfavourable budget variation reported in the above budget variation and also reported in the August Council Report RP-3.

Red Hill Road Street Lighting

$62K

S94 Contributions ($62K)

Nil

The installation of lights on the intersection of Red Hill Road and the Olympic Highway is due for completion. This project was originally planned and budgeted in 2013/14, however has been under review and has now been deemed a priority. This project is funded from Section 94 contributions.

 

82 Narrung St Cottage Demolition

$29K

Sewer Fund Reserve ($29K)

 

Nil

 

Approval is being sought for the demolition of a derelict cottage on Council land at 82 Narrung St. The cottage contains asbestos and there is the risk that if the cottage is vandalised or caught fire, the current non-friable asbestos would become friable. It is proposed that the $29K required is funded from the Sewer Reserve.

Floodplain Risk Management Study

$220K

Floodplain Risk Management Study Grant ($147K)

MOFFS Hot Spot Mitigation ($73K)

Nil

Council has successfully received $147K in funding from the Office of Environment & Heritage under the 2015/16 Floodplain Management Program. The funding allows Council to undertake Stage 2 of the Major Overland Flood Flow Study (MOFFS) which is the Flood Risk Management Study and Plan. The funding ratio is 2:1, it is proposed to fund Council’s share from existing Stormwater budgets.

 

Flood Recovery Works – Open Drain R12 Glenfield

$17K

Maintain Stormwater Assets ($17K)

Nil

The Flood Recovery works on the Open Drain near the Bunnings’ Site were originally quoted in May 2014. These works have been requoted and will require an additional $17K to complete the original scope of works. This is proposed to be funded from the existing ‘Maintain Stormwater Assets’ budget.

 

Emu Plains Bridge $300K

Tim Hedditch Bridge $60K

Graveyard Creek Bridge $60K

$420K

Bridge Replacement Reserve ($420K)

At present, there is $480K budgeted in 2016/17 for the Tim Hedditch Bridge and the Graveyard Creek Bridge. To improve delivery and potentially reduce costs, the three (3) bridges will be completed under the one tender with an estimated total project budget of $900K. 

 

Docker St Traffic Island

$16K

Regional Block Grant ($16K)

Nil

The traffic island in the middle of Docker St, between Meurant St and Chaston St is to be reduced in length by 1.8 metres at the northern end and repairs will be undertaken to damage on the southern end. This adjustment is to assist larger vehicles when making right hand turns into Docker St. It is proposed to fund the works from the Regional Roads Block Grant.

 

Fernleigh Rd Culvert Extension

$164K

Stormwater Levy Reserve ($164K)

Nil

Work is required to extend the existing culvert and corresponding pavement on Fernleigh Road to enable traffic departing the site in a westerly direction to safely merge into the traffic lanes. The works also include tree removal and relocation of the water main. It is proposed for the $164K works to be funded from the Stormwater Levy.

 

Amundsen Bridge

$563K

Section 94 Contributions ($563K)

 

Nil

It is proposed to bring forward S94 Contribution funding for the Amundsen Bridge from 2017/18 due to the close connection with the Lineal Park project. The design and construction of the Lineal Park, the proposed Bradman Drive and the Amundsen Bridge need to integrate so that the completed works complement each other. The subdivision designs on each side are reasonably advanced. The bridge will allow Bradman Drive to cross over the waterway and cycleway/pathway that runs the length of Linear Park. It is highly likely that the bridge will be a twin cell box culvert with a height to accommodate cyclists and pedestrians.

Glenfield Road Improve Traffic Flow - Design

$100K

Section 94 Contributions ($100K)

Nil

It is proposed to bring forward the design component of the Glenfield Road Improve Traffic Flow project from 2017/18 to 2016/17. The main works are scheduled for 2018/19 but the aim is to have the project to a shovel ready stage so that it is ready for any additional grants that may become available. The design component is to be funded from Section 94 Contributions.

Man-Proof Fence Leachate Ponds GWMC

$30K

Solid Waste Reserve ($30K)

Nil

There is a requirement to construct a man-proof fence for the leachate ponds at GWMC after a recent WHS inspection identified potential public access issues. The works will be funded from the Solid Waste Reserve.

 

 

 

Illegal Dumping Grant Program

$124K

Illegal Dumping Income Grant ($124K)

Nil

Council has been successful in obtaining $124K in funding through the NSW EPA’s Waste Less, Recycle More Illegal Dumping Program. The “Don’t dump, its dumb” project aims to address the issue of illegal dumping in known hotspots around Gregadoo Waste Management Centre.

Council’s portfolio is dominated by Floating Rate Notes (FRN’s) at approximately 50% across a broad range of counterparties. Cash equates to 13% of Council’s portfolio with Term Deposits around 36% and growth funds around 1% of the portfolio.

 

 

Council’s investment portfolio is well diversified in complying assets across the entire credit spectrum. It is also well diversified from a rating perspective. Credit quality is diversified and is predominately invested amongst the investment grade ADIs (BBB- or higher), with a smaller allocation to unrated ADIs.

 

 

 

 

All investments are well within the defined Policy limits, as outlined in the Rating Allocation chart below:

 

 

Investment Portfolio Balance

 

Council’s investment portfolio balance has decreased from the previous month’s balance, down from $94.0M to $93.2M. This is reflective of some large contractual payments being made during July 2016.

MONTHLY PERFORMANCE

 

Interest/growth/capital gains for the month totaled $350,517 which compares favourably with the budget for the period of $257,250 – out performing budget for the July month by $93,267. This is attributable to the positive growth experienced for Council’s NSW T-Corp managed funds of $32,670 as well as continued strong growth of Council’s Floating Rate Note portfolio. This continues a strong five (5) month period from March to July for Council’s portfolio, outperforming budget for the period by $338,205. This follows a period of lower than budgeted investment returns for January and February 2016.

 

It should be noted that the capital market value of these investments will fluctuate from month to month and that Council continues to receive the coupon payments and the face value of the investment security when sold or at maturity.

 

 

 

Council’s portfolio performance continues to be anchored by the longer-dated deposits in the portfolio, particularly those locked in above 4% yields. It is to be noted however that the average deposit yield will inevitably fall as some of the longer-dated deposits mature within the next year.

 

In comparison to the AusBond Bank Bill Index* (+2.23%pa), Council’s investment portfolio in total returned 4.38% for July. Short term deposits returned 3.04%. These funds are utilised for daily cash flow management and need to be available to meet operating and contractual payments as they come due.

 

 

* The AusBond Bank Bill Index is the leading benchmark for the Australian fixed income market. It is interpolated from the RBA Cash rate, 1 month and 3 month Bank Bill Swap rates.

 

 

Certificate:  I hereby certify that all of the above investments have been made in accordance with the provision of Section 625 of the Local Government Act 1993 and the regulations there under, and in accordance with the WWCC Investments Policy adopted by Council on 26 August 2013.

Section 356 Donation Request - Mini All-Ympics Disability Sports Day

 

 

 


Report submitted to the Ordinary Meeting of Council on Monday 29 August 2016.                                                         RP-5

 

Good morning,

 

Job Centre Australia recently submitted an application for funding through the Annual Grants Program, however we have recently discovered that our submission was unsuccessful. The grant would have contributed to the costs of running our Mini All-ympics disability sports day in September, e.g. booking fees associated with hiring Council grounds and marketing of the event.

 

I would like to enquire about the possibility of exploring other funding opportunities which Wagga City Council may able to provide for our event. I believe there may be grants available to help reduce the cost of hiring council fields and facilities. We have already booked three fields at Bolton Park at a cost of $229.50 and temporarily booked one basketball court at Bolton Park Stadium (estimated cost $154.80) and would ultimately be asking for a reduced price or perhaps fees being waived.

 

As we are a non for profit organisation, it would be ideal to keep running costs of the event to a minimum. We would like the Mini All-ympics sports day to be an annual event attracting people to our beautiful city to participate.

 

If there are any forms which may need to be filled in or if you require further information please contact myself on the details below.

 

Kind Regards,

 

 

Adam Holmes

Report submitted to the Ordinary Meeting of Council on Monday 29 August 2016.                                                         RP-6

 

RP-6               SECTION 356 DONATION - TRUST OF THE TARCUTTA RECREATION AND RACE COURSE GROUND

Author:          Katsoolis, Craig

Director:       Richardson, Craig          

 

Recommendation

That Council donate $10,000 in works in kind support to the Trust of the Tarcutta Recreation and Race Course Ground as detailed in the report under Section 356 of the Local Government Act 1993.

 

Report

Council has received a request from the Trust of the Tarcutta Recreation and Race Course Ground to donate the use of Council machinery and labour to undertake excavation work for the construction of a new amenities block at the Tarcutta Recreation and Race Course.

 

The Trust note in their attached letter they have raised funds of $210,000 for the construction of a new amenities block which will replace the existing building which was constructed in the 1950’s. The Race Course Ground is Crown owned land.

 

Five (5) local clubs currently use the recreation grounds i.e.:

 

·        Tarcutta Pony Club

·        Tarcutta Horse Sports

·        Tarcutta Polocross

·        Riverina Barrel Racing Club

·        Tarcutta Campdraft

 

The provision of the new amenities will greatly improve the facilities at the ground.

 

Council’s Project Management Office has estimated the cost of providing the in-kind donation of Council machinery and labour would be in the order of $7,000.

 

The above request aligns with Council’s Strategic Plan “we have opportunities and places for connection.”

Budget

Council’s Section 356 donation budget has an uncommitted balance available of $3,995 remaining for 2016/17.

 

It is proposed to fund this request via additional revenue identified in the July 2016 Monthly Finance Report presented to Council at this same meeting, in which an additional $10,000 has been forecast for fees from Section 603 (Rate) Certificates for 2016/17.
