Report

Council borrows funds for certain purposes in accordance with the Local Government Act, 1993 to provide funding for the capital works program. Councils are required to advise the Director General of amounts borrowed in accordance with Clause 230 of the Local Government (General) Regulation, 2005. Council, in adopting the 2008/09 Budget, requested a loan allocation of $2.5 million with the associated repayments provided for in Council's 2009/10 Budget, the first repayment being due in December 2009. This allocation was requested for the projects listed below: Road Construction $800,000 Cycleway Construction $50,000 Footpath Construction $250,000 Flood Mitigation & Drainage $100,000 Parks Improvement & Landscaping $237,100 Construction Projects $187,900 Land Acquisition $875,000 Council through its Financial Advisor, Spectra Financial Services, prepared the tender for financial institutions to respond both on a fixed and variable rate basis. Four responses were received from the following banks and were considered on the basis of tender compliance and pricing: • Australia and New Zealand Banking Corporation (ANZ) • Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) • National Australia Bank (NAB) • Westpac Banking Corporation (WBC) Details of the responses were as follows: Fixed Rate ANZ CBA NAB WBC 2 Year 6.33% 5.19% 5.36% 5.43% 5 Year 7.69% 6.73% 6.44% 7.40% 7 Year N/A N/A 6.85% 8.16% 10 Year N/A N/A 7.30% 9.00% Variable Rate (indicative only)

Page 14: REPORTS FROM OFFICERS 8. REPORT OF GENERAL MANAGER 9 ... · future developments. Comment: Report on housing stress finalised. A briefing will be provided to Council prior to report

Ordinary Meeting 9 June 2009 Page 14 9.3 2008/09 Loan Borrowing Allocation It should be noted that an establishment fee was quoted by ANZ for an amount of $9,000 and NAB for an amount of $2,500. Rates quoted are indicative, based on pricing as at 15 May 2009 and have moved significantly at the time of writing this report. It is anticipated that interest rates will continue to trend higher until funds are drawn down in the last week of June 2009. In previous years Council has sought loans with a fixed interest rate for the 10 year life of the loan. However as a result of current economic conditions, lending authorities are reluctant to lend at a fixed rate for traditional periods and include a larger lending margin for periods in excess of 5 years. Most of the lending authorities provided alternative options for finance ranging from 2 year fixed interest rate to 7 year fixed interest rate with the loan being reassessed after the fixed period. Current market conditions make it difficult to predict the interest rate horizon over the next 3 to 10 years. However, there is general consensus that with the large amount of public debt that has been and will be raised, both in Australia and overseas, interest rates are likely to be considerably higher than at present. Based on the responses received, it is recommended that Council adopt a Fixed Year Renewal Loan for a period of 5 years with repayments equivalent to a 10 year period and upon maturity of the 5 year loan term, the residual principle will be refinanced. All lending authorities require similar non-onerous security documents and as such it is recommended that the lending authority offering the most competitive interest rate net of any establishment fees at the time of drawing down the funds be accepted.

Officer's Recommendation

1. Council adopt a Fixed Year Renewal Loan for a period of 5 years with repayments equivalent to a 10 year period and upon maturity of the 5 year loan term, the residual principle will be refinanced.

2. That the lending authority offering the most competitive interest rate net of any

establishment fees at the time of drawing down the funds be accepted. 3. That Council delegate the Mayor and General Manager to authorise the

necessary documentation. 4. That the Security documents be executed under the Common Seal of Council if

required. Council Meeting 9 June 2009 (Oates/Glynn) That the Officer's Recommendation be adopted. Council Resolution Minute Number 151 That the Officer's Recommendation be adopted.

Report

At the Community Safety Sub Committee meeting on 12 March 2009, (the minutes of which were reported to Council on 14 April 2009) reference was made to discussions being held with the Attorney Generals Department (AGD) and the Police on security improvements at Leumeah Station, in response to high levels of motor vehicle theft and steal from motor vehicle offences. Council was requested by the AGD to formally submit a proposal for fencing of the western commuter carparks adjacent to the main Bow Bowing channel, to reduce uncontrolled access to the commuter parking areas. Advice has been received on 4 June from the AGD that the proposal has been accepted for fencing the northern section of the carparks, between Rose Payton Drive and Plough Inn Road, with a funding offer of $61,688.70 (ex GST). No Council funds are required to be provided to the project. Council has been requested to enter a Funding and Performance Agreement, and progress the works in accordance with the Agreement. In view of the community safety benefits of the project, it is recommended that the grant funding be accepted.

Officer's Recommendation

That the grant offer of $61,688.70 (ex GST) be accepted, and the associated funding agreement be executed. Council Meeting 9 June 2009 (Thomas/Borg) That the Officer's Recommendation be adopted. Council Resolution Minute Number 155 That the Officer's Recommendation be adopted.

Report

As part of its ongoing support for young people and educational achievement, Council's Library Service will again be offering a number of HSC Lectures in partnership with Camden and Wollondilly Councils' Library Services. The lectures will run from 1 -16 June 2009. The HSC lecture program assists HSC students in developing a deeper understanding of their study areas and also provides advice on essay writing, developing effective studying habits and relaxation techniques. The 2009 HSC lecture program has been developed based on feedback from local schools who participated in the HSC lecture survey in 2008. The topics and study texts selected for the program reflect the needs of local HSC students. The program includes a lecture on HSC essay writing, an English lecture on the Area of Study “Belonging” and a lecture on the poetry of Wilfred Owen. The lectures on essay writing techniques and Belonging are presented by Larry Grumley, the author of a number of study guides on HSC English and a senior HSC marker for over 20 years. The Poetry of Wilfred Owen session is presented by Dr. Barry Spurr, the author of a number of HSC English study guides in the Pascal Press Excel series and a former HSC English examiner. The HSC can be a time of stress for many students and parents. The HSC lectures provide some help in alleviating this stress by giving local students valuable guidance and help leading up to the HSC exams. The HSC lecture program complements support provided to local students through the HSC collections and the Your Tutor service.

Officer's Recommendation

That the information be noted. Council Meeting 9 June 2009 (Chanthivong/Kolkman) That the Officer's Recommendation be adopted.
