17. REPORTS OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

17.1 Update on Powers and Functions of Authorised Persons Report Brief

This report updates Council on its request for further information in relation to the legislative changes proposed by the Local Government Associated in relation to the powers and functions of authorised officers. RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended to Council that this report be received. Introduction

At its 4 February 2014 meeting, Council considered the legislative changes proposed by the Local Government Association (LGA) in relation to the powers and functions of authorised officers. As the information from the LGA contained little information, and in order to provide informed feedback, Council resolved that:

'Council defer its response until further details and clarification can be sought from the Local Government Association on Proposed Items 2 through to 8 and Proposed Item 12'.

Discussion

The Governance department subsequently contacted the responsible officer at the LGA which has declined Council's request for more information in relation to the proposed legislative changes or to extend the deadline for response, which was Friday 14 February 2014. Unfortunately, this means that no feedback was able to be provided to the LGA, in relation to these proposals, by Council.

11.4 Council Budget Report - Seven Months to 31 January 2014 Brief

This report provides information to Council on budget results for the seven months ended 31st January. RECOMMENDATION


The report provides year to date (YTD) budget results for January 2014. Discussion

Budget variances are summarised in the financial report which is included as attachment 1, with key variances explained below in terms of:

Operational Income Operational Expenditure Capital Expenditure Capital Income Capital Works Expenditure

Operational Income Key variances include:

Rates revenue is under budget YTD by $123,132, due to a combination of timing and unexpected objections. A December budget review adjustment has been recommended.

Statutory charges are $136,382 above YTD budget, largely due to parking related income

($72,552), Development Act fees ($40,991) and dog related income ($12,351). A December budget review adjustment has been recommended.

User charges are also above budget YTD by $195,173, largely for timing reasons involving St Martins ($60,916), waste royalty income ($40,582) and leased property income ($20,265). Higher than anticipated use of the Thebarton Community Centre also accounts for some of the variance ($74,925). All have been recommended for adjustment in the December budget review.

Grants and subsidies income is under budget YTD by $41,364, largely due to the timing of a special road grant ($146,280). Variances offsetting the amount include HACC ($18,132), other grants and subsidies ($23,625) and unbudgeted neighbourhood development funding ($19,178) which has been recommended for adjustment in the December budget review.

The end of year (EOY) forecast for operational income is estimated to increase by $197,614 based on variances, key information to date and adjustments recommended in the December budget review.


Operational Expenditure Key variances include:

Staff and related costs are below budget YTD by $200,406 due to unfilled vacancies and timing related events associated with training and conferences ($57,765). Variations have been reviewed as part of the December budget review process and budget adjustments have been recommended.

Buildings, furniture, plant and equipment costs are $103,534 below YTD budget, largely due to the timing of maintenance on buildings and grounds ($47,484), software and hardware lease payments ($40,778), plant maintenance ($31,783) and plant hire (offset by expenditure recovered). Budget adjustments have been recommended in the December budget review.

General expenses are $613,576 below budget YTD, largely for timing reasons and include variances for professional fees ($280,646), minor capital ($44,267), stationery, publications and printing ($104,537), advertising, publicity, promotion, merchandising and marketing ($148,654), and general expenditure ($23,794). Budget adjustments have been recommended in the December budget review.

Council related expenditure is below budget YTD by $120,824, which includes timing related variations for levies ($31,547), donations, awards, contributions and other rebates ($37,644), and street lighting ($50,837). Offsetting the variance is over-budget partnership and community grants totalling $22,584. Budget adjustments have been recommended in the December budget review.

Contract and material expenditure is $374,352 below budget YTD, which includes variances for HACC contractors ($25,881), property contractors ($69,187), library contractors ($36,250), the waste contract ($179,509) and materials, largely for the depot ($68,127). Adjustments have been recommended for waste and library contractors in the December budget review.

Occupancy and property costs are $62,035 below YTD budget, with timing related variances for electricity and gas ($77,213), and water rates ($34,875). Partially offsetting these is a timing related variance for the emergency services levy ($34,346). Cleaning costs related to the Thebarton Community Centre are also over budget by $12,577, for which an adjustment has been recommended in the December budget review.

The EOY forecast for operational expenditure is estimated to decrease by $155,080 based on variances, key information to date and expected adjustments. Adjustments have been recommended in the December budget review.


Capital Expenditure Key variances include:

Motor vehicle replacement costs are less than YTD budget, but this is timing related.

Computer equipment expenditure is above budget YTD $74,349, and relates to the accounting treatment of finance leases for which an adjustment has been recommended in December budget review.

Other plant and equipment expenditure is below YTD budget by $520,280 and is timing related, largely for the depot, but it also includes amounts for St Martins, the library and community development.

Land and building costs are $1,337,475 below budget YTD, and include timing variances for St Martins, the community hub and properties.

Library resources expenditure is below budget YTD and is timing related. The EOY forecast for capital expenditure is estimated to increase by $746,917 based on variances, key information to date and expected adjustments. Recommendations have been made in the December budget review. Capital Income Key variances include:

A capital income variance of $1,525,985 which is timing related and largely involves grants for the MECAD drainage project. Unbudgeted income for the solar PV battery project ($12,617) slightly reduces the variance, for which an adjustment has been recommended in the December budget review.

The EOY forecast for capital income is estimated to increase by $12,617. Capital Works Expenditure Expenditure on capital works YTD is $5,941 million. A capital works expenditure summary for YTD January 2014 is attached with appropriate comments provided on the status of individual budget lines. 53.6 per cent of the revised capital works budget has been spent or committed by way of purchases orders as at 31st January 2014. It is estimated that 100 per cent of the forecast budget of $25,091,038 is required to complete the program of works and that 100 per cent will be completed by 30 June 2014. The EOY forecast for capital works expenditure is expected to increase by $120,000 based on an additional funding recommended in December budget review for Richmond Oval Pocket Park upgrades. Conclusion

Council's financial forecast has been adjusted, reflecting key information available. Explanations for key variances YTD have also been provided for income and expenditure.

11.8 Budget Review - December 2013 Brief

This report provides details on changes proposed to the 2013/14 budget, following completion of the budget review of December 2013. RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended to Council that the budget review changes for December 2013 be adopted pursuant to Regulation 9 of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 2011. Introduction

This report proposes changes to the 2013/14 budget and requires adoption by Council pursuant to Regulation 9 of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 2011. Discussion

Key changes to the 2013/14 budget are highlighted below: Operational Income An operational income budget increase of $197,614 is proposed, as itemised in attachment 1, the key changes being: An increase of $120,000 in Community Development income for the Thebarton Community

Centre, although this adjustment is offset by additional expenditure of $35,000;

Income for St Martins has been increased by $63,212, but this increase is offset by changes to the operational expenditure budget;

Mendelson Foundation income has been increase by $60,000, following better than

expected investment performance, but this is offset by an adjustment to reserves; Rate income has been reduced by $40,000 because of unexpected valuation objections; Parking income has been increased by $30,000, based on a favourable year to date trend

for 2013/14. Operational Expenditure An operational expenditure budget reduction of $155,080 is proposed, as itemised in attachment 1, the key changes being:

The waste disposal budget has been reduced by $100,000 because of lower than expected

costs being incurred; Consultant support for City Strategy has been reduced by $83,314 following the deferral of

two DPA's in the program of work for 2013/14; Computer lease repayments have been reduced by $75,000, following a change in

accounting practice, but this is offset by a capital budget increase;

St Martins' expenditure has been increased by $66,842, but this is offset by income adjustments;


Consultant support in City Development has been increased by $60,000 following a substantial and unexpected increase in application numbers in 2013/14;

An amount of $50,000 has been moved from reserves to cover consultant support for the planned rehabilitation of the Brickworks' kiln.

Capital Expenditure and Sales Capital budget changes are itemised in Attachment 1, and include: A capital expenditure budget reduction of $3,083, net of plant and equipment sales; A capital income budget increase of $12,617; A reduction to asset sales of $750,000; and A capital works expenditure budget increase of $120,000 less overhead. Key changes include:

The deletion of $200,000 for upgrade work associated with Civic Centre air-conditioning,

The inclusion of $226,000 in computer equipment costs associated with Council's leasing program, following a change in accounting practice, although this is offset by other adjustments to the budget;

Asset sale proceeds of $750,000 for the Thebarton Neighbourhood House have been

deleted from the budget, with the adjustment offset by a reduction in reserve funds (given Council's decision on 21 January 2014 not to sell the property);

The inclusion of $120,000 in funding for the pocket park development at Richmond Oval;

The transfer to reserves of $100,000 for DDA upgrade work associated with Weigall Oval,

which is not proceeding in 2013/14; The inclusion of $90,000 for a fire shutter and chemical bay at St Martins, but this is offset

by an adjustment to reserves. Consideration was given to the inclusion of an amount of $645,700 for design and feasibility work associated with the relocation of the depot to Deeds Road, given a Council resolution on 19 November 2013 that the matter be deferred to the December 2013 budget review. It was resolved that the amount not be included in the 2013/14 budget based on: Other higher priorities, including the redevelopment of Camden and Lockleys Ovals, and

Mellor Park, and the establishment of upgraded facilities for the Hilton RSL; Loan funding being necessary for any funding shortfall associated with the project; and Council not having capacity in the next year or two to undertake such a project.


Other Adjustments Other adjustments are itemised in Attachment 1, and include: A loan reduction of $368,182 is proposed;

Budgeted long service leave payments have been increased by $100,000. Financial Statements and Ratios A revised Comprehensive Income Statement has been included with the budget review as Attachment 4. It shows an operating surplus before capital revenues, capital grants and subsidies, gain/loss on disposal of assets and physical resources received free of charge of $5.066 million, a decrease of $0.435 million or 7.9 per cent compared to the original budget. The projection assumes all allocated budgets are expended by 30 June 2014. Revised budget statements, comprising Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, Statement of Changes in Equity, Financial Indicators, and Uniform Presentation of Finances, are also included. The operating surplus ratio of the Council, which expresses the operating surplus as a percentage of general and other rates, net of the NRM levy, has decreased from 12 per cent to 11 per cent when compared with the original budget. Council is aiming to maintain an ongoing operating surplus ratio of greater than zero, in order to maintain a sustainable financial position. Council's asset sustainability ratio, which expresses net asset renewal expenditure as a percentage of depreciation expense, has been budgeted to move from an estimated 103 per cent to 143 per cent, compared to the original budget. Council is aiming to maintain an ongoing asset sustainability ratio of greater than 100 per cent. Council debt remains at a modest level, with repayment that are more than manageable, and modest cash surplus net of reserves is being projected as at 30 June 2014. Conclusion

The December 2013 budget review must be adopted by Council pursuant to Regulation 9 of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 2011.

11.9 Food Safety Rating Schemes - "Scores on Doors" Brief

This report provides a proposed response to a request for feedback by SA Health on a consultation document dealing with a state-wide food safety rating scheme. RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended to Council that the introduction of a food safety rating scheme be supported, with the attached feedback referred to SA Health. Introduction

Following a direction from the former Minister for Health and Ageing, the Social Development Committee reported on the merits of schemes that provide information to the public on the results of food safety inspections and compliance with the Food Act 2001. As a result of the report a ministerial response was tabled in parliament in early 2013, which supported the development and implementation of a voluntary, state-wide, food safety rating scheme in South Australia. The South Australian Government is now developing a voluntary food safety rating scheme (commonly known as ‘scores on doors’) which it expects to be piloted in late 2014. A consultation document had been prepared (attachment 1) and feedback is being sought from local government, businesses and consumers. Discussion

Food safety rating schemes are used in several Australian states, including some individual local governments and overseas as a way of informing consumers about the food safety of businesses such as restaurants and cafes. The score or rating is calculated using the results of routine food premises inspections undertaken by Environmental Health Officers. The score or rating is then usually represented as a number, letter or stars and displayed at the business. Providing consumers with information regarding the hygiene and safety of food premises might help them make informed choices about where they decide to purchase food. It might also help improve the understanding of consumers which could help drive an improvement in compliance with food safety and in turn improve public health through a reduction in food borne illness and a reduced burden on Council’s Environmental Health Team undertaking re-inspections and enforcement responsibilities. The downside of schemes such as this includes: Exposure to litigation and public criticism if an incident such as food poisoning arises after

a favourable rating is provided; Food businesses maintained to a high health standard are not risk free and could still suffer

an incident; SA Health and the LGA will need to support the scheme with adequate reference material,

training, technical advice and rating tools to ensure its application is consistent across local government areas;

Additional time and effort by Council staff is required to administer the scheme; Arguable benefits exist especially if the scheme is voluntary.


SA Health proposes that a state-wide food safety rating scheme would consist of the following key features: Rate a food business’ compliance with food safety legislation; Apply only to medium and high risk food service businesses; eg restaurants, takeaway; Be voluntary in its adoption for businesses and councils; Be underpinned by the work of SA Health and the LGA under the SA Health/LGA

Memorandum of Understanding Work Plan; Be developed in partnership with local government and industry; Be evaluated via a 12 month pilot program.

The submission response form (attachment 2) seeks feedback on three main elements of the scheme:

Element 1 – Structure of the scheme: outlines the structure of the information from the translated inspection findings that are communicated to consumers;

Element 2 – Rating for the top score: should the top available rating reflect current

legislation, or should it be reserved for those businesses who are achieving food safety standards above the legal minimum;

Element 3 – Display of the rating: how and what should be displayed to consumers at the

premises. Conclusion

This report provides a proposed response to a request for feedback by SA Health on a consultation document dealing with a state-wide food safety rating scheme.

CORPORATE AND REGULATORY STANDING COMMITTEE 18 February 2014 Page 74 11.11 Service Centre Activity Report Brief

This report provides information on activities of Council’s Service Centre for the second quarter of the 2013/14 financial year. RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended to Council that this activity report be received. Introduction

The objective of the Council’s Service Centre is to “provide quality and excellence in service to those contacting Council". To achieve this, key performance indicators (KPI’s) have been established to measure call volumes, abandonment rates, service levels, calls per division and cash transactions taken. In addition any abnormal or major events / projects that impact on KPI’s are reported. Discussion

Detailed below are the Service Centre’s most relevant KPI’s for the 2013/14 financial year.

Overall call received increased by 1,432 or 9.25% compared to the corresponding period last year and decreased by 4,021 or 23.8% compared to the first quarter of 2013/14. Due to higher call volumes and increased talk time the abandoned call rate increased by 0.37% compared to the same period last year. The average wait time for this quarter increased by 2 seconds when compared to the same period last year, and decreased by 3 seconds compared to the first quarter of 2013/14. Reporting of after hours calls commenced in September 2013 and as a result there is currently no comparative data to reflect any trends.


Calls Received As indicated in the graph below, calls received have increased compared to the same period last year. The increase in calls is attributed to an overall increase in rate related enquiries (6%), planning and building enquiries (14%) and parking related enquiries (52%).

Calls Received per Division The graph below outlines the percentage of calls received per Division for the second quarter. The operational demands of the City of West Torrens are continually changing and this can often results in a restructuring of the reporting hierarchy. As such, comparisons between years would be inappropriate as this chart represents a snap shot of calls received during the second quarter of the 2013/14 financial year.

After hours calls The graph below provides a breakdown of calls to the after hour’s service provider by work area. Key points to note include:

Of the 117 property related calls, 104 were for building alarms; Of the 181 compliance calls, 91 were for lost or found dogs; 204 callers advised they would call back during business hours..

Abandoned Calls The graph below indicates an overall increase in the abandoned call rate for 2013/14. While the quarterly abandoned call rate increased by 0.37% compared to the same period last year, there was a slight reduction (0.08%) compared to the first quarter of 2013/14. The fluctuations can be attributed to an increase in the volume of calls received and call talk times.

Call Response The graph below outlines the call response levels and indicates that the response rate continues to exceed the benchmark of >80%. Although the response rate is above 85% for the quarter, overall the rate it is slightly down compared to the same period last year. This is attributed to longer call duration and an increase in call numbers.

Note: The call response level is formed by a weighted formula that sits behind the Q-Master

reporting software, and it determines the percentage grade of service (ie a call is answered within 30 seconds). The KPI for all calls to be answered is currently set at 20 to 60 seconds (weighted) a minimum of 80 per cent of the time.

Call Resolution The graph below highlights the method of call resolution, with 54.5% of the calls resolved by Service Centre staff. This figure is slightly lower compared to the first quarter (57%) and is slightly higher compared to the same period last year (50.9%).

An update on key projects and activities is provided below. Discussion

Key activities Update

Community Planning and Engagement Western Adelaide Sporting Facility Supply and Demand Study

The working party consisting of staff from the Cities of Charles Sturt (project leader), West Torrens, Port Adelaide Enfield, Adelaide Shores and the Office of Recreation and Sport has awarded a tender to Tredwell Management to undertake the study. The first meeting with the consultants is on 6 February, and it is expected that the study will be completed in June/July 2014.

Community Hubs The final project meeting was held and completion of the design stage of the project occurred in January with receipt of the final design documentation and cost plan for the Civic Community Centre.

Our Place Targeted consultation with Business, Government, and Community organisations is currently underway throughout January and early February 2014.

Land Use Planning

Housing Diversity DPA The DPA was sent to the Minister for Planning for approval in November 2013. The Minister may:

decide to approve the DPA as endorsed by Council approve the DPA with amendments or refuse the DPA as endorsed by Council.

No indication has yet been received from the Minister regarding timeframes for decision.


Strategic Directions Report

Section 30 of the Development Act 1993 requires Council to complete a Strategic Directions Report every 5 years or within a year of changes to the State Planning Strategy. The last SDR was completed in 2008. A project brief for the SDR has been completed which outlines the timeframes for development of the SDR in 2014. It's objectives are to:

Review existing Strategic Directions. Meet the legislative requirements quickly and effectively. Guide the 3 to 5 year Development Plan Amendment program

to meet Community Plan and current & emerging trends. Consider the impact of the operations of Adelaide Airport on the

city over the next 20 years.

Policy Amendments Resulting from the Residential Industry Interface Study (PARIS)

Late last year, following consideration of the Residential Industry Interface Study, Council endorsed four land use policy change recommendations of the Policy, Planning and Performance Committee. A project brief to progress policy amendments resulting from the Residential Industry Interface Study has been drafted, outlining a program of five policy amendments:

Underdale East DPA West Thebarton Road Interface Precinct DPA Camden Park (Carlisle St.) Interface Precinct DPA Interface Module effectiveness study EPA guidelines incorporation study

Employment Land Investigations

Over January a draft project brief was also developed to scope the work required to conduct detailed Employment Lands Investigations. This work will be used to inform the proposed 'Underdale East' DPA as well as the other elements of the PARIS Project. It will also be a vital component of the Employment DPA investigations.

Environmental Planning

Water Map The review and revision of Council’s Water Management Action Plan (MAP) is due to be undertaken in 2014. The review will ensure alignment with Council's revised Community Plan Five Year Strategies and identify key priorities in water management for Council over the next 5 years. The revised Water MAP will also establish new water management targets that will indicate Council’s progress towards delivering water themed strategies in the Community Plan, and improve the existing framework for monitoring and reporting Council’s progress towards achieving these.


Climate CAP A review of the existing Climate Change Action Plan has been undertaken and a report prepared for the February PPP meeting. The review noted that Council has completed more than 65 per cent of the actions listed in the plan but is off track to meet its greenhouse gas emissions target by 110 tonnes. A revision of the Climate CAP will occur to ensure it aligns with Council's revised Community Plan Five Year Strategies.

Western Adelaide Region Climate Change Adaptation Plan Project (WARCCAP)

Briefs for Stage 2 studies have been drafted and will shortly be released in order to engage a consultant to undertake the work. The studies will provide more in-depth analysis of climate change factors, issues and opportunities relating to:

Storm and sea water inundation Asset and infrastructure Public open space, biodiversity and coastal environments Social vulnerability and resilience Development planning and urban growth.

Other projects and activities are in progress according to the 2013/14 City Strategy Service Plan. Conclusion

This report details recent activities of the City Strategy department.


11.2 Community Services Activities Report Brief

To provide Elected Members with information on activities within the Community Services Department. RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended to Council that the Activities Report be received. School Holiday Activities for Youth Activities were again planned for Youth and Children throughout the Summer Holidays, with Children’s activities aimed at the pre-schoolers and younger Primary school aged children and the Youth Activities aimed at the 8-18yrs group. Activities included, Cooking classes , “Wipe Out” aquatic activities , Roller skating , Arcade Games, Geocaching and a visit to the Road Safety Centre for some cycling practise.

This year the OPAL team have planned activities around the theme of “People, Parks and Places” that aim to get people (children in particular) active outdoors. The year started with an audit of the 19 local parks in West Torrens and assessing their particular features (shade, water, benches, access, play equipment etc.), while the Bike Extravaganza has been scheduled for later in the year. Vulnerable persons The recently appointed Community Development Officer (CDO) has been liaising with Local & Peak Disability Agencies in order to gain a sense of what issues the residents experience and what Council could be doing to better assist vulnerable people. A new support group called Access and Inclusion Matters (AIM) for local residents is being formed. A series of Informative Talks to help Carers navigate the service maze by promoting existing services and supports and raising awareness of gaps and problems they experience will lead off the group, which will meet on Wednesday afternoons once a month.


The Auditorium Gallery will also host an Interactive Exhibition in March showcasing the artistic talents of local disabled artists and artists from Tutti (Minda Incorporated) as well as have the first audio assisted tutorial included as part of the SALA Exhibition in August The CDO has also worked closely since her commencement with the Publications Team to have Disability Access Symbols included on all of Council’s Promotional material (including the website) in order to make it clearer for people with disabilities to plan their attendance at functions and be aware of what facilities are accessible to them.
