12. REPORTS

12.1 Review Delegations of Authority to Chief Executive Officer Officer: Acting Chief Executive Officer, Mr Eddie Piper Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Meeting Date: 18 November 2016 Matter for Consideration To consider the delegated authority granted to the Chief Executive Officer. Background The Local Government Act 1995 (The Act) section 5.42 allows a local government to delegate to the Chief Executive Officer certain powers These delegations must be granted by an absolute majority of Council and Council may place restrictions of any delegation. The Act Requires under section 5:56(2) that “at least once every financial year delegations made under this Division are to be reviewed by the Delegator”. The Schedule of delegations was placed before Council at its meeting of 15

th April 2016 and

Council referred the matter to a later meeting. They have not been to any subsequent meeting. Comment The then Chief Executive Officer placed before Council a new schedule of delegations and recommended adopting these and revoking the then existing delegations. Council were not comfortable with the extensive schedule of delegations prepared by lawyers and laid the matter on the table for further consideration. The current Acting Chief Executive Officer, Eddie PIPER, has reviewed both schedules and recommends to Council that the current schedule (copy attached) is in order subject to a few modifications. The cost of the lawyer (approx. $7,000) was incurred in 2015/16 and will not impact on the current financial statements. The modifications referred to are as follows 1.p) Authority to appoint an Officer to act in the capacity of Chief Executive Officer, in

consultation with the Shire President, during absences of the Chief Executive Officer for periods of more than four (4) weeks.

1.s) Lodgement of caveats on land, after advising Council, where the rates are in arrears and

it is considered that the interests of Council should be protected, and the subsequent withdrawal of caveats once arrears of rates have been settled.

Explanatory note 2 b) the amount of $100,000 be reduced to $75,000. Consultation Council at a briefing session. Policy Implications Nil. Financial Implications Nil. Strategic Implications Nil. Voting Requirements Absolute.

12.2 Fees and Charges Amendment – Effluent Disposal Charges Officer: Acting Chief Executive Officer, Mr Eddie Piper Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Meeting Date: 18 November 2016 Matter for Consideration To consider amending the Fees and Charges for 2016/17, specifically effluent disposal charges. Background Council adopted a Schedule of Fees and Charges when adopting the 2016/17 annual budget. The Fees and Charges may be amended after adoption by resolution of Council and a local public notice as per the Local Government Act 1995 6.19. Comment The charge adopted by Council for the disposal of Effluent (sewerage) for Local Commercial and Industrial operations was set at $0.026 and Out of Town operators at $0.047. The Shire has a licence to operate the sewerage ponds and this licence restricts the Shire to receiving only 100,000 litres of effluent per annum. In previous years Council has exceeded that limit and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) issued a notice advising that continued excess could lead to problems. The ponds, in the opinion of Council officers, is quite capable of handling in excess to 100,000 litres, however DEP will not extend this limit. The Shire has received in excess of the limit in only 4 months of operation and must take steps to correct the current situation. Commercial and Industrial disposal accounts for 241,000 litres or 95% of the total of 252,500 litres to 2 November 2016. This is unacceptable as at this rate the annual disposal will exceed 750,000 litres and the Shire will expose itself to some action by the DEP. There is an application lodged by the Shire to amend to Shire’s Effluent Disposal Unit to a category 61 Waste and this, if granted, will undoubtedly raise the current limit. It appears the only corrective action available to Council is to make it less attractive to use the Shire’s Unit. The 241,000 litres to date is made up of local Commercial and Industrial 187,500 litres and Out of Town deliveries of 53,500 litres. Currently Local Commercial and Industrial is charged at $0.026 and Out of Town at $0.047. It is proposed to increase this charge, particularly to the Out of Town to encourage them to find an alternative. Consultation Bill Atyeo Council Environmental Health Officer. Policy Implications Nil. Financial Implications An upward adjustment will lead to increased revenue, however this is not the purpose of the increase charge. Strategic Implications Nil. Voting Requirements Absolute Majority.

12.3 Ranger Services for Three (3) Years to 30 June 2020 Officer: Acting Chief Executive Officer, Mr Eddie Piper Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Meeting Date: 18 November 2016 Matter for Consideration That Council authorise the Acting CEO to appoint Canine Control as Shire Ranger for the three (3) years to 30

th June 2020and to sign the necessary Agreement.

Agreement attached under confidential cover. Background Council currently engages Canine Control of Geraldton to act as Shire Ranger. This arrangement is in place until 30

th June 2017 and Council has the opportunity to further engage

that company until 30th

June 2020. Comment The Shire Ranger performs his duties in a professional manner and the Acting Chief Executive Officer believes Council should take up the offer of extending the engagement of the current Company. The letter of engagement is attached. The contract is $2,205 per month in year one and increasing by 5% each year. The current charge is $2,100. per month. Consultation Nil. Policy Implications Nil.

st July 2017 to 30

12.4 Ramelius Community Benefit Fund Applications – Meenangu Wajarri

Aboriginal Corporation Officer: Acting Chief Executive Officer, Mr Eddie Piper Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Meeting Date: 18 November 2016 Matter for Consideration To consider an application for a donation to assist the Meenangu Wajarri Aboriginal Corporation (MWAC) to purchase a trailer. Applicant’s Submission The application by the MWAC is in conformity with the Shire requirements. They are seeking assistance through the Fund to purchase a trailer The application is requested from the Ramelius Community Relief Fund. A copy of the application is attached. Background The Fund has been established to assist in these types of endeavours generally within the shire. The MWAC are based in Geraldton and indicate in the application that the trailer will support members in the Murchison and Gascoyne. Comment The applicants are based in Geraldton and obviously from the application cover the Murchison and Gascoyne districts. There are many local governments in the two areas which could contribute; however, they are requesting $1,500 from the fund which represents 33.3% of the project cost. The Acting Chief Executive Officer believes that it is unreasonable to request one (1) council to carry 33.3% of the cost and accordingly is recommending the $200 be offered to the MWAC. Consultation Nil. Policy Implications Nil. Financial Implications Currently the fund should hold $32,994.89 and the recommendation of the A/CEO is $200.00 which will reduce the probable current holding to $31,994.89. Strategic Implications Nil. Voting Requirements Simple.

COUNCIL RESOLUTION Moved: Cr Mary Ford Seconded: Cr Carole Minney That Council donate from the Ramelius Community Benefit Fund two hundred dollars ($200.00) to assist the Menahga Dajarra Aboriginal Corporation with the purchase of a trailer to support the Murchison and Gascoyne district. Resolution No. 2016-138 LOST 6/0

12.5 Council Meeting Dates Officer: Acting Chief Executive Officer, Mr Eddie Piper Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Meeting Date: 18 November 2016 Matter for Consideration To review and amend as necessary Council meeting dates set at a meeting 23 October 2015. Background At its October 2015 meeting Council determined that it would meet on the 3

rd Friday of each

month except for December which would be the 2nd

Friday and there would be no meeting in January. Statutory Environment The Local Government Act 1995 Regulation 12(1) of the Local Government (Administration) Regulations requires a local government to give local public notice of the dates and times and place where it will hold its Council Meetings. This must be done at least once a year. Regulation 12(2) of the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 requires that any change to the date, time or place of Council Meetings requires local public notice. Comment Council having set the meeting dates at the 3

rd Friday of the month is now finding that the

financial statements are not being presented in accordance with the Local Government Act 1995. The staff and the Shire Accountants, RSM, are having difficulty in producing these reports on time. This situation should be rectified in the near future, however it may be prudent to review the meeting dates to avoid any future problems. The Acting Chief Executive Officer believes it would be better to hold Council Meetings on the last Friday of each month except for the December meeting being on the 2

nd Friday and

that there be no meeting in January. Consultation Nil. Policy Implications Nil. Financial Implications Nil. Strategic Implications Nil. Voting Requirements Simple.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of AccountingThis statement comprises a special purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance

with Australian Accounting Standards (as they apply to local governments and not-for-profit entities),

Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, the Local Government Act 1995 and accompanying regulations. Material accounting policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this statement are presented below and have beenconsistently applied unless stated otherwise.

Except for cash flow and rate setting information, the report has also been prepared on the accrual basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and liabilities.

Critical Accounting EstimatesThe preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances; the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

(b) The Local Government Reporting EntityAll Funds through which the Council controls resources to carry on its functions have been included in this statement.

In the process of reporting on the local government as a single unit, all transactions and balancesbetween those funds (for example, loans and transfers between Funds) have been eliminated.

All monies held in the Trust Fund are excluded from the statement, but a separate statement of thosemonies appears at Note 12.

(c) Rounding Off FiguresAll figures shown in this statement are rounded to the nearest dollar.

(d) Rates, Grants, Donations and Other ContributionsRates, grants, donations and other contributions are recognised as revenues when the local government obtains control over the assets comprising the contributions. Control over assets acquired from rates isobtained at the commencement of the rating period or, where earlier, upon receipt of the rates.

(e) Goods and Services TaxRevenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST receivable or payable.The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operatingcash flows.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(f) Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at bank, deposits available on demand with banks and other short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and bank overdrafts.

Bank overdrafts are reported as short term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

(g) Trade and Other ReceivablesTrade and other receivables include amounts due from ratepayers for unpaid rates and service charges and other amounts due from third parties for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

Collectability of trade and other receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when there is objective evidence that they will not be collectible.

(h) InventoriesGeneralInventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Land Held for ResaleLand held for development and sale is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of acquisition, development, borrowing costs and holding costs until completion of development.Finance costs and holding charges incurred after development is completed are expensed.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss at the time of signing an unconditional contract of sale if significant risks and rewards, and effective control over the land, are passed on to the buyer at this point.

Land held for sale is classified as current except where it is held as non-current based on Council’s intentions to release for sale.

(i) Fixed AssetsAll assets are initially recognised at cost. Cost is determined as the fair value of the assets given asconsideration plus costs incidental to the acquisition. For assets acquired at no cost or for nominalconsideration, cost is determined as fair value at the date of acquisition. The cost of non-current assetsconstructed by the local government includes the cost of all materials used in the construction, directlabour on the project and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead.

Certain asset classes may be revalued on a regular basis such that the carrying values are not materiallydifferent from fair value. Assets carried at fair value are to be revalued with sufficient regularity to ensurethe carrying amount does not differ materially from that determined using fair value at reporting date.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(j) Depreciation of Non-Current AssetsAll non-current assets having a limited useful life are systematically depreciated over their usefullives in a manner which reflects the consumption of the future economic benefits embodied inthose assets.

Depreciation is recognised on a straight-line basis, using rates which are reviewed each reportingperiod. Major depreciation rates and periods are:

Buildings 50 to 100 yearsFurniture and Equipment 4 to 10 yearsPlant and Equipment 5 to 15 yearsSealed Roads and StreetsFormation not depreciatedPavement 50 yearsSealBituminous Seals 20 yearsAsphalt Surfaces 25 yearsGravel RoadsFormation not depreciatedPavement 50 yearsGravel Sheet 12 yearsFormed Roads (unsealed)Formation not depreciatedPavement 50 yearsFootpaths - slab 40 yearsSewerage Piping 100 yearsWater Supply Piping and Drainage Systems 75 years

(k) Trade and Other PayablesTrade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Council becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured, are recognised as a current liability and are normally paid within 30 days of recognition.

(l) Employee BenefitsThe provisions for employee benefits relates to amounts expected to be paid for long service leave, annual leave, wages and salaries and are calculated as follows:

(i) Wages, Salaries, Annual Leave and Long Service Leave (Short-term Benefits)The provision for employees’ benefits to wages, salaries, annual leave and long service leave expected tobe settled within 12 months represents the amount the Shire has a present obligation to pay resulting from employees services provided to balance date. The provision has been calculated at nominal amounts based on remuneration rates the Shire expects to pay and includes related on-costs.

(ii) Annual Leave and Long Service Leave (Long-term Benefits)The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the project unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future paymentsare discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Where theShire does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months, the liability is recognised as a current liability.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(m) Interest-bearing Loans and BorrowingsAll loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received lessdirectly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortisedcost using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities that areyield related are included as part of the carrying amount of the loans and borrowings.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Council has an unconditional right to defersettlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Borrowing CostsBorrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred except where they are directly attributableto the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Where this is the case, they arecapitalised as part of the cost of the particular asset.

(n) ProvisionsProvisions are recognised when: The council has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result ofpast events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlementis determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one of item included in the same class of obligations may besmall.

(o) Current and Non-Current ClassificationIn the determination of whether an asset or liability is current or non-current, consideration is given to thetime when each asset or liability is expected to be settled. The asset or liability is classified as currentif it is expected to be settled within the next 12 months, being the Council's operational cycle. In thecase of liabilities where Council does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months,such as vested long service leave, the liability is classified as current even if not expected to be settledwithin the next 12 months. Inventories held for trading are classified as current even if not expected to berealised in the next 12 months except for land held for resale where it is held as non current based onCouncil's intentions to release for sale.

Registration files were checked for compliance. One unwanted cat was handed in by its owner for destruction. A dog that had been impounded remained unclaimed and so was destroyed. Another dog was handed in for destruction. A Form 6 was issued on Thursday 29 September, and as there had been no further contact

made by the owners of the dog and the time for the objection had expired, the dog was destroyed.

The first round of firebreak inspections were conducted. I also attended Mount Magnet on Sunday 23, Thursday 27 and Friday 28 October 2016: Patrols were conducted of the townsite and surrounding areas and license enquiries made.

Registration files were checked for compliance. Several inquiries regarding registration fees and charges was dealt with. An error in fees

and charges was rectified. The owner of a dangerous dog that had been seized following an attack on another dog

was served with a Form 6 notice which advised her that she needed to contact the Shire within a certain period of time. The owner failed to make any contact at all with either the Shire or myself. The dog was euthanaised. The City of Greater Geraldton has been advised of this incident as the dog had outstanding offences in Geraldton.
