OPEN SECTION AUD02\4 Audit Committee Meeting – Friday, 20 February, 2009
Executive Summary
Audit Committee Meeting Held 20 February 2009 The Committee were presented with the revised draft Internal Audit Plan for 2009-2011 and update reports on a number of outstanding audit issues. The new Internal Audit Plan for 2009-11 signals a shift toward a more strategic approach to internal audit. It recognises that Council have achieved compliance with internal control systems and procedures and that Council will continue to monitor compliance through the introduction of a control self assessment process (CSA) using existing staff. External assistance will be redirected toward more value adding operational and performance related areas. Some of these areas are financial sustainability, complaint management, fleet management, community engagement and consultation, environmental performance monitoring, project governance and asset management. The Committee recommended the plan as now presented be approved, noting that across the three year period it does achieve a balance of internal audit effort across management processes and the achievement of policy outcomes. The Committee considers that the Board of the Darwin Entertainment Centre needs to exercise its authority to ensure adequate resources are available to meet the financial reporting requirements of Darwin City Council. The Committee advised that the appointment of an external auditor for a period commencing with the year ending 30 June 2009 be conducted through public tender. The Committee agreed on the basis of information provided that a number of audit findings for Human Resource management and IT controls had been resolved, and congratulated the relevant management personnel involved.

days for the month and short-term monthly income, number of unreserved bays and daily charge rate for each off-street car park. Months with public holidays affect calculated occupancies.

Attached is a table showing the monthly revenue from parking meters in the CBD for the 2008/2009 financial year (Attachment A). OFF-STREET CAR PARKS Tabled below is the revenue collected from the Off-Street car parks in the CBD for the month of February 2009.

PAGE: 3 REPORT NUMBER: 09A0051NF SUBJECT: MONTHLY ON-STREET AND OFF-STREET PARKING STATISTICS
FEBRUARY 2009 Note: The calculated monthly occupancies are a function of the number of working
days for the month and short-term monthly income, number of unreserved bays and daily charge rate for each off-street car park. Months with public holidays affect calculated occupancies.
Occupancies of over 100% are possible due to the combination of turnover within any particular off-street facility during charging hours and the set parking fee within that facility. Attached is a table showing the 2008/2009 financial year income from Off-Street car parks in the CBD (Attachment B). PARKING MACHINE CASH COLLECTION AND MACHINE MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS Monthly meetings continue to be held with Cash Handling Systems (CHS) and ISS Security Pty Ltd, to ensure that the level of performance of the Contractors performing the parking machine maintenance and cash-collection contracts meets Council’s requirements. These meetings will continue for the remainder of the parking machine maintenance and cash collection contracts. The average number of complaints relating to the on-street parking meters per day for the month of February 2009 was 15 and the figure for February 2008 was 13. The complaints are higher than last year due to the wet weather. An ongoing trial of the 6 new parking meters installed within the Cavenagh Street car park will continue over several years, with a view to determining which brand of machine performs best under tropical conditions over the longer term. This will give Council a greater level of confidence when making decisions on which machines to select in the next tender for on-street parking meters in 2009/10. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: As noted in the body of the report. ACTION PLAN IMPLICATIONS: The issues addressed in this Report are in accordance with the following Goals/Strategies of the Action Plan of the Darwin City Council 2004 - 2008: 4 INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT 4.4 Car Parking Goal: To provide adequate and appropriate parking facilities in a timely manner.

SUBJECT: FEES AND CHARGES 2009/2010
ITEM NO: 10.10 SYNOPSIS: Council is required to adopt Fees and Charges for the 2009/2010 year. This report provides a summary of the suggested changes and proposed fees for 2009/2010. GENERAL: Proposed changes to fees and charges for 2009/2010 reflect a general increase of 4.6%, in line with the latest average of the Consumer Price Index and Tender Price Index figures. Some items have been retained at 2008/2009 levels and there have been some minor additions/deletions to other items to reflect community needs. Line items that do not indicate a proposed change are considered to be currently set at adequate levels commensurate with pricing for risk and/or usage levels. Individual items have been rounded upwards or downwards in order to rationalise the resultant price in line with the original price structure or in consideration of the use of coin operated collection methods. Items listed in BOLD in the Fees and Charges booklet (Attachment A) indicate the item attracts GST and that the fee is inclusive of GST. Accordingly Council remits 1/11th of the collected fee to the Australian Taxation Office.
Items listed with a symbol indicate the item is exempt from GST per Australian Taxation Division 81 determination. The numeric code preceded by a “T” in the DCC Code column refers to an internal administrative code to ensure that receipted fees are processed to the correct General Ledger account.

PAGE: 2 REPORT NUMBER: 09A0047.eng SUBJECT: FEES AND CHARGES 2009 /2010 Charges for waste disposal are to be reviewed by the Environment and Infrastructure Committee, prior to 30 June 2009. Proposed charges are included in the booklet at this stage for information purposes only. The draft Fees and Charges Booklet is attached as (Attachment A). FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Given the small percentage increase with some charges, the financial impact on revenue is expected to be negligible. The dollar increases to individual charges are shown in the attached schedule. EVOLVING DARWIN IMPLICATIONS The issues addressed in this Report are in accordance with the following Goals/Outcomes of the Evolving Darwin Strategic Plan of the Darwin City Council 2008 - 2012: Goal Demonstrate effective, open and responsible governance. Outcome Effective governance. Key Strategies 7.1.3 Manage Council’s affairs based on a sustainable financial strategy LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: Nil ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: Nil PUBLIC RELATIONS IMPLICATIONS: It is anticipated that due to the minimal increase of fees, a low level of reaction would be received for most changes. COMMUNITY SAFETY IMPLICATIONS: Nil CONSULTATION: Appropriate officers responsible for fees and charges in each department have been consulted. The Chief Officers Group has discussed the proposed fees and charges.

REPLACEMENT OF ON STREET MACHINES The replacement of the on street car parking machines is scheduled to be completed within the next 18 months at a budgeted cost of $2.5 million. Council may consider reviewing its fee structure at this time. POLICY Councils Policy Business Zone Parking No 358, Statement No. 8 states:
Maintain a pricing structure for on and off-street parking which is economically viable and fosters good economic development in the best interest of the city, having regard for all issues relating to the supply and demand of car parking in the Darwin Central Business Zone. Charges in respect of both on and off-street facilities should be increased, in real terms, every few years in accordance with pre-determined parking strategies. Council should strive to ensure that, at the very least; charges keep pace with inflation at other times.

This Report calls for approval to the signing and sealing of the Application to Register Statutory Vesting Form to enable a title to issue over the land in favour of Darwin City Council. GENERAL: In January 2007, the owner of AFS Realty & Business Brokers put a proposal to Council to purchase and develop the Shadforth Lane carpark adjoining their hotel on Lot 3751, the Wisdom Bar. In June 2007, Council approved the proposal to dispose of the land subject to an open public process by way of Registration of Interest. Prior to any disposal the carpark (road reserve) must first be converted to freehold title in favour of Darwin City Council. The road closure process has now been completed, and the car park area has been numbered Lot 7839 Town of Darwin. In order for a title to issue to Darwin City Council over the land, it is necessary for a Statutory Vesting Form to be signed and sealed. A further report will be brought back to Council in relation to the outcome of the “Registration of Interest” process.

SUBJECT: REQUEST TO REDUCE MALL OUT-TRADERS FEES IN THE WET
SEASON
ITEM NO: 10.14 SYNOPSIS: This report deals with correspondence received from a Mall Trader, Ms Veronica Stanfield owner of T-Shirt World. Ms Stanfield is seeking a reduction in fees for out-trading in the Mall and has also queried the legitimacy of another Mall trader to out-trade in the Mall, Mr Peter Paroulakis who sells t-shirts adjacent to the Centrepoint Building. This report does not support a reduction in out-trading fees and provides information in relation to the status of Mr Peter Paroulakis. GENERAL: Ms Veronica Stanfield owner of T-Shirt World in The Mall, has requested that the permit fees for out-trading be reduced during the wet season, please see the attached correspondence. Ms Stanfield states that she and other traders consider that the fee of $60 is unreasonable when they are unable to trade full time during the wet season and that some businesses struggle to cover their costs. Council’s current policy permits businesses that occupy leased premises with direct frontage to the Mall to display goods for sale on tables and racks outside the premises. Council charges a daily rate of $20.00 or a weekly rate of $60.00 for traders to do so. Council has been charging a weekly fee of $50.00 since the early 1990’s and last reviewed the weekly rate in 2007 and 2008 to its current level.

Mr Harley Paroulakis, Manager of the Centrepoint Building, has confirmed that Peter Paroulakis is the lessee of the Jolly Swagman premises at Centrepoint – Tenancy MO7A. A copy of the lease was provided by Harley Paroulakis which is attached. Mr Peter Paroulakis has advised that they have been renting premises continuously at Centrepoint building for over 10 years and have been in the current location for nearly one year and in the Mall for 17 years. Council policy in relation to out-trading states the following:
Mall traders be permitted to set up tables and racks of goods for sale or display in the Mall as ancillary to their business in accordance with the following guidelines:- (a) Mall traders are defined as shops with direct Mall frontage or shops in arcades
with direct Mall frontage. Arcade traders are those traders whose store is situated in an arcade adjacent to the Mall. In each case the trader must have occupied the said premises for a period of six months or have a registered lease for the premises prior to seeking permission to trade out.
STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLICATIONS: The issues addressed in this Report are in accordance with the following Goals/Strategies of the Darwin City Council 2008 – 2012 as outlined in the ‘Evolving Darwin Strategic Directions: Towards 2020 and Beyond’:- Goal 1 Achieve Effective Partnerships and Engage in Collaborative Relationships Outcome 1.2 Effectively engage with community Key Strategies 1.2.1 Increase involvement of the Business Community for developing solutions to
