HEALTH PROMOTION POLICIES

TOBACCO POLICY

Objective

To provide a safe, healthy environment for users of Council facilities.

Policy

Council acknowledges its obligations to ensure that all Council owned buildings are free from potential health hazards.

Council declares that all Council owned buildings and events are smoke free zones and this policy extends to Council plant and vehicles.

Council provides signage to Council buildings and events to reflect its non-smoking policy.

Council advises hirers of its facilities, via its hire documentation, that the facility hired is subject to Council's non-smoking policy.

The management committees of relevant buildings shall be advised of their requirements to implement the policy.

To reduce or remove economic or social barriers to participation in the Town’s activities and encourage participants, volunteers and organisers to treat all groups in the organisation and in the community in general with respect, equality and openness.

Policy

10.2 REPORTS OF OFFICERS

10.2.1 Incorporation and Name Change for the Perth Airports Municipalities Group (Ref: G1206 – Gary Evershed, Chief Executive Officer)

Report Summary

The PAMG is seeking to be incorporated.
Council is asked to provide feedback on the proposed constitution.

PURPOSE

To provide feedback on the draft constitution of the Perth Airports Municipalities Group (PAMG).

BACKGROUND

The Chairperson of the Perth Airports Municipality Group, Mayor Glenys Godfrey from Belmont City Council, has written to the Town as follows:

“At the Annual General Meeting of the PAMG of 9 November 2006, the PAMG resolved to progress towards incorporation under the Associations Incorporation Act 1987 within 12 months. To facilitate the preparation of its application to the Department for Consumer and Employment Protection (DOCEP), a new Constitution has been developed based on DOCEP’s Model Rules for Incorporated Associations (February 2004).

This new draft Constitution still retains elements of the operating draft Constitution adopted at the AGM on 9 November 2006. In addition, at the PAMG’s Ordinary General Meeting of 10 May 2007, the PAMG resolved to consider a change of name.

The PAMG Management Committee proposes at a special general meeting of the PAMG on 16 August 2007 to have the following resolved:

1. The new Constitution; and

2. Determination of a new name from a shortlist of names,

ie:

Option 1: Perth Airports Local Government Reference Group (PALGRG); or
Option 2: Perth Airports Municipalities Group (PAMG – maintaining the status quo).

As a member of the PAMG, the Management Committee seeks your Council’s comments on the content of the new draft Constitution prior to finalising the document for submission to the PAMG at the Special General Meeting. Direction regarding your Council’s preference in relation to a name change should be given to your Delegate/Deputy Delegate prior to the special general meeting on 16 August 2007.

In order to finalise the new Constitution such that it is ready for distribution with the Agenda for the Special General Meeting, your comments would be appreciated by close of business on Friday 27 July 2007. A copy has also been distributed to your Delegate and Deputy Delegate for their comment.”

Council’s delegate on the PAMG is Councillor Fox and the Deputy is Cr Dunkerton.

RELEVANT LAW AND POLICY

Local Govt Act 1995

Associations Incorporation Act 1987

CONSULTATION

The PAMG is seeking feedback by 27 July.

COMMENT

There are two options presented for a name change as follows:

Option 1: Perth Airports Local Government Reference Group (PALGRG); or

Option 2: Perth Airports Municipalities Group (PAMG – maintaining the status quo).

The CEO does not have any preference for one name over another and so recommends supporting the status quo.

The draft constitution is presented in the attachments for Councillor feedback to be provided on any corrections, improvements and omissions.

In summary the following comments are relevant to the Town of Bassendean:

Objects of Association

Issues such as environmental impact, noise control, emergency coordination and local government liaison are included.

Core Membership

The Town of Bassendean qualifies for core membership as it “either directly or indirectly affected” by the Perth Airports.

Application for Membership

A Council would need to pass a resolution to become a member.

Terms of Office

Council delegates coincide with the local government election cycle.

Duties and Responsibilities

Clear direction and expectations of Council delegates is outlined.

Subscriptions

Membership subscriptions will be set by the Board and hopefully will not be excessive.

Suspension & Expulsion and Termination

A process is outlined for suspending and terminating members whose conduct is detrimental to the Association.

Management Committee

The affairs of the new body will be managed exclusively by 5 office bearers on behalf of the members. As the Town is not a high profile Council in terms of impact with the airport and doesn’t receive Airport rates like Belmont, Swan and Kalamunda it is likely that the Town’s delegate will not be a member of the Management Committee unless the individual has a burning interest and relevant skills to offer.

Meetings

Delegates of core members are entitled to attend all ordinary, Special and AGMs but there is no definition of ordinary meetings and there should be a stand alone clause or section covering ordinary meetings. The CEO believes that this is a deficiency in the document which should be improved to assist Bassendean delegates.

OFFICER RECOMMENDATION – ITEM 10.2.1

That Council:

1. Directs its delegate to the Perth Airports Municipalities Group to support the retention of the current name;

2. Seeks to have suitable clauses included defining ordinary meetings and a separate section headed ordinary Meeting to differentiate them and provide more detailed information from special and annual general meetings; and

3. Provides any further feedback on the draft constitution in writing prior to the scheduled meeting.

10.2.2 Western Australian Local Government Association - Annual General Meeting 2007 (Ref: – Gary Evershed, Chief Executive Officer)

Report Summary

Council has received the agenda for the WALGA AGM to be held on 5 August 2007;
Council is requested to consider amending its policy on appointing its delegates to the AGM; and
To provide direction to its delegates when participating and voting at the AGM.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is for Council to discuss items affecting the Town of Bassendean and to give direction to its voting delegates attending the WALGA AGM.

BACKGROUND

Eight items are presented at the AGM for consideration as follows:

1. Industry Benchmarking;

2. Frequency of Land Valuations by the Valuer General’s Office;

3. Pre-Selling Vacant Land;

4. Funding - Volunteer St John’s Ambulance Services;

5. State Water Reform Agenda – Concerns for Local Government;

6. Raising and Collection of the Domestic Refuse Rate;

7. Terms of Office for Zone Office Bearers; and

8. Proposed Amendments to the Constitution of the Western Australian Local Government Association.

Council’s delegates to the WALGA AGM are Cr Klein and Cr Stubbs.

RELEVANT LAW AND POLICY

Local Government Act 1995

WALGA Constitution

COMMENT

Council’s policy on voting delegates is:

“That Council’s two appointed delegates to the East Zone of the Western Australian Local Government Association are nominated as the two voting delegates to the WALGA Annual General Meeting and the deputy delegate is nominated in the absence of either of the two delegates.”

The East Zone has changed their membership requirements and now Council has three appointed delegates. WALGA still only requires two Council delegates and so Cr Klein and Cr Stubbs names have been forwarded from the Town. It is appropriate to amend the policy and also add Council’s wish to discuss matters prior to the AGM to provide direction for delegates.

“That Council appoints two voting delegates and a deputy delegate to the Western Australian Local Government Association Annual General Meeting when appointing its three delegates to the East Zone of WALGA. The CEO is to bring items requiring decision at the WALGA AGM to the July round of meetings in order for Council to discuss items affecting the Town of Bassendean and to give direction to its voting delegates attending the WALGA AGM.”

Matters for Decision Affecting Local Government

The City of Gosnells is to move as follows:

“That the Western Australian Local Government Association seeks to improve the performance of the local government industry as a whole by lobbying the Minister for Local Government and Regional Development to implement industry wide performance benchmarking.”

Benchmarks developed by Price Waterhouse Coopers in compiling “Future Proofing the City of Gosnells” is contained in the attachments. In response to a recent letter from the Mayor of the City of Gosnells, Cr Pat Morrison, the Mayor wrote:

“Thanks for your recent letter regarding Future Proofing the City of Gosnells.

I agree whole heartedly that there is a need to introduce industry-wide performance benchmarking, as the diversity of local government operations makes it difficult to compare one local government with another. Even the benchmarks provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers, including the Town of Bassendean’s, have some significant variations due to the way councils organise their businesses. For example, the Town of Bassendean includes the rubbish charge as part of its rates which distorts the rate in the dollar and all other ratios, such as, the rate revenue per citizen.

We congratulate the City of Gosnells for undertaking this activity and the Town, subject to funding approval, will be conducting a similar exercise in the next financial year.”

The Town performs well on some benchmarks such as rates coverage and less well on others such as rates per citizen. Benchmarks need to be meaningful and to compare apples with apples which is very difficult in the local government context as all operate differently, undertake different mixes of services in response to community demand and have differing revenue sources.

Financial ratio benchmarking which is essentially what Gosnells has undertaken focuses heavily on efficiency indicators such as units per dollar rather than effectiveness indicators such as customer satisfaction, achievement of objectives and improved community well being.

The CEO recommends that overall the Town should support the push for meaningful comparative benchmarks and ensure that we maintain our position relative to other metropolitan local governments. The costs should be borne by the State Government if possible.

The Shire of Dardanup is to move:

“That the Western Australian Local Government Association seek a commitment from the Minister for Land Information to review the frequency of land valuations provided by the Valuer General’s Office to standardize the frequency for each local government depending on the rate of development and past experience in the increase in land values.”

This is less of a problem for the Town as we are not rapidly expanding with new development. We would all welcome improvements in the VGO’s services but who will pay for the increased level of service. It would be rare, if not a first, should local government be able to shift costs on to a State Government. It is more likely that local government would foot the bill. As part of the WALGA Systemic Sustainability Study (SSS) Project, the Revenue Expert Team are considering the issue of the best method of valuations for the rating system and are also reviewing the entire rating system.

The CEO recommends tacit support provided that it des not involve additional costs and awaits the outcome of the WALGA Revenue Expert Team deliberations.

The Shire of Gingin delegate will move:

“That the Western Australian Local Government Association make political representation to the State Government expressing concern at the implications arising from developers pre-selling land and seek its assistance in promulgating legislative reform which renders the practice of pre-selling, other than with a fixed contract, unlawful.”

The Shire reports that the actions of developers in cancelling pre-sale contracts has caused considerable grief for a number of prospective purchasers, many of whom had sold their own properties months and, in some cases, years before, in order to be ready to build when their new lot was released. Some purchasers are of the view that the Local Government has been at fault on the grounds that the conditions of subdivision being recommended by Local Government and agreed to by the Western Australian Planning Commission has incurred the developers in an unreasonable financial outlay for which the prospective purchasers have been subsequently penalised.

Mr Reed will provide further input at the OCM.

The Shire of Perenjori will move that:

“That the State Minister for Police and Emergency Services; Community Safety be requested to pursue whatever legislative changes are necessary to make funding from the Emergency Services Levy available to fund volunteer St John’s Ambulance Services.”

WALGA outlines the difficulty in funding St John’s under the ESL as it is not a State body but an independent organisation. It offers an alternative recommendation which should be supported.

“That the Association write to the State Minister of Health and State Minister for Police and Emergency Services; Community Safety requesting that the current legislation and funding mechanism for volunteer St Johns Ambulance Services be reviewed.”

The South West Zone will move:

“That the Western Australian Local Government Association seek a meeting with the Minister for Water Resources to consider the implications of the implementation of the blueprint for water reform on landowners and local government with particular reference to various items.

There are significant issues for local governments and for community members particularly farmers. The WALGA secretariat have advised that a meeting is being scheduled with Minister Kobelke to discuss these and other issues associated with the State water reform agenda.

Text Box: IN BRIEF • To consider the impact of the Rates and Charges (Rebates and Deferments) Act 1992 on separately raised Domestic Refuse Charges. • To again lobby the State Government to consider further expansion of the Pensioner/ Senior Concession arrangements to include the Domestic Refuse Charge – consistent with its application to the Emergency Services Levy The City of Wanneroo delegate will move:

That the Western Australian Local Government Association again lobbies the State Government to consider the further expansion of the Pensioner/Senior Concession arrangements to allow the concession to extend to the Domestic Refuse Charge consistent with its application to the Emergency Services Levy; and
Notes that the City of Wanneroo will be writing to the Deputy Premier, requesting that consideration be given to the further expansion of the Pensioner/Senior Concession arrangements to allow the concession to extend to the Domestic Refuse Charge consistent with its application to the recently introduced Emergency Services Levy.

The Town of Bassendean is one of only a small number of metro Council’s which include domestic refuse collection in the rates charge and therefore assist pensioner residents to gain a greater concession.

The cost to the State Government of extending this scheme would be substantial so there is a risk to the Town of Bassendean residents that to make it equitable the State may remove the ability of Councils to package up their rates and rubbish charges in one charge. This is one to support but to watch the outcome with interest.

Executive Member to move a change to WALGA constitution to admit associate members with similar objectives to local governments:

“That subclause 14(10) of the Association’s Constitution be deleted and the following new subclause 14(10) be inserted:

(10) “A Zone may, from time to time, resolve to admit an Ordinary Member or Associate Member of the Association from outside their existing membership as an Associate Member of their Zone. In considering whether to admit an Ordinary Member or an Associate Member of the Association as an Associate Member of a Zone, the Zone shall give regard to the significance of communities of interest between the existing membership of the Zone and the Ordinary Member or Associate Member of the Association that is seeking to become an Associate Member of the Zone.”

The does not appear to be any problems with this motion as associate members will not have the same rights and will not be permitted to participate in the Association’s representational framework, which includes the right to vote at all meetings of the Association (Special and General Meetings) and participate in the development of policy positions for the Local Government sector. This right is currently restricted to Ordinary Members, which includes the 144 Local Governments in Western Australia and the Indian Ocean region. Additionally, the Association will not undertake lobbying, advocacy, policy development or marketing/public relations activities for or on behalf of any Associate Member.

OFFICER RECOMMENDATION – ITEM 10.2.2

That Council:

1. Amends its policy on appointing delegates to the WALGA AGM as follows:

2. Delegates note the direction provided by Council through the July OCM discussions in participating and voting at the WALGA AGM.
