Report Date: 18 June 2012

Prepared by: Peter Sellar, General Manager, Corporate & Community Services

Corporate Objective: Strategy 4.7.1: Provide financial services to support cost effective Council operations and service delivery.


Purpose:

For Council to consider the Schedule of Fees and Charges to be applied for the 2012-2013 financial year.

Recommendation :

“that the Committee, having considered Item 12.6.2 Schedule of Fees and Charges 2012-13, dated 18 June 2012, recommends to Council to adopt the Schedule of Fees and Charges as presented, for the 2012-13 financial year.”

Impact Summary Strategic Economic Nil Built Environment Nil Community Nil Organisational & Governance

Financial Schedule of Council Fees & Charges are reviewed and adopted annually.

Legislation Some Fees & Charges in the development area in particular are regulated be legislation

Risk Nil Consultation Fees & Charges are referenced in the Draft Annual Business

Plan which is currently available for Community Comment. Asset Management Plans Nil Service Standards Nil

Background The Draft Schedule of Fees & Charges 2012/13 is included as an attachment to this report to be considered for recommending at the Council Meeting of 25 June 2012. The schedule shows the current 2011/12 fees and charges, together with those proposed for the 2012/13 year. As per a statement in the Draft Annual Business Plan general fees and charges over which we have control will be increased by approximately 3.0%. In other areas such as waste the increase may be higher and based on the cost of providing that function or service. There are other fees particularly in the development and health areas that are set by legislation. Animal Management related fees were set by resolution of Council at the 19 March ordinary meeting. Also in regard to cemetery fees it is noted that the non resident leases are double the standard fees. Given the recent discussions by Council concerning the Cemetery Policy, direction is sought by Council to ensure the fees reflect Council’s views. Any regulatory fees which are altered after the adoption of this register will be adjusted at that time.

12.8.1 LGE Staff Enterprise Bargaining Agreement

File No: 12.44.02.02 Previous Ref:

Report Date: 18 June 2012 Prepared by: Chief Executive Officer

Corporate Objectives

4.1.1 Provide leadership for the community in sustainability issues and local government reform matters

4.7.1 Provide financial services to support cost effective Council operations and service delivery


Purpose:

To update the committee on progress with the LGE Staff Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) and to seek consideration of a committees recommendation to Council in regard to the staff request.

Recommendation 1:

“that the Committee, having considered Item 12.8.1 LGE Staff Enterprise Bargaining Agreement dated 18 June 2012, recommends to Council that it does not support the staff proposal of a 5% per annum increase for the next 3 years”

Recommendation 2:

“that the Committee, having considered Item 12.8.1 LGE Staff Enterprise Bargaining Agreement dated 18 June 2012, authorises the Chief Executive Officer to continue negotiations based on the original proposal of 4% per annum for the next 3 years supported by the Negotiating Committee.”

Page 25


Financial The proposed staff increase is outside the current proposed budget and not in line with the Long Term Financial Plan. as such any increase above 4% will increase operating costs

Legislation Nil Risk The main risk is aligned to financial risk but also if no

immediate agreement is found then negotiations will continue. The staff response to the Council decision will determine the next steps.

Background Earlier this year Council commenced the re-negotiation of an Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) with staff covered by the Municipal Officers Award (administration staff) and the Local Government Employees Award (field staff). The current single agreement expires on the 30 June 2012. As part of the renegotiation the single agreement was separated as it was found that the two work groups had different needs and also covered by different agreements. The single agreement resulted in a complex and in some instances difficult to read agreement. In regard to the administration staff the negotiations have been completed with staff supporting the proposed EBA which is currently with the Commission for ratification. This EBA has been negotiated within Councils budget guidelines. The field staff EBA had been progressing well with some adjustments to the agreement to reflect the changing needs of both the organisation and staff. The main change has been the commitment to establish a classification structure that allowed staff with higher technical skills and/or responsibility to be renumerated at a different level than what is currently provided. This was in recognition that to retain and attract staff at this skill level would require a different wage structure. It is also to align the EBA to other LG authorities where most of the workforce would be sourced from. Other changes to the EBA included documenting the process for managing inclement weather conditions and consideration of a standby agreement. The quantum of the proposed increase was in line with Council budget of 4% per annum for the three year term of the agreement. Recently the proposed EBA that was supported by the negotiating committee was put to staff for a vote. The outcome was to not support the proposal. Following this vote the negotiating committee reconvened with a counter offer put forward by the staff representatives of 5% per annum. Management advised that this was not supported and in any case would need to be considered by Council as it falls outside the budget authority delegated to staff. The staff representatives then sought a revised offer of 4.5% per annum or a 5%, 4% & 4% that they would seek to get support from staff. This was still beyond the original proposal and not supported by management but it is understood that staff have also rejected this amended quantum. This report seeks to update the committee and seeks a recommendation to Council. Cost Implications The initial proposal endorsed by the negotiating committee of a 4% wage rise will result in a $44,000 increase and in line with budget parameters. The staff proposal of a 5% increase will see an additional $11,000 above budget. Over the term of the agreement this increase will be compounded. Management supports the 4% as it will keep Council’s position relatively stable and maintain an approximate middle level in comparison to other Councils.

Page 27

Comparison to other Councils The following graph shows the comparison of a Grade 6/Level 3 wage at current levels. This grade has been selected as the majority (8/36%) of staff are within this grade.

Other Considerations It is important to note that the proposed 4% wage increase needs to also be considered within the other changes, e.g. new classification structure, inclement weather provisions and standby arrangements. All these will not only provide a benefit to the organisation but also provide a benefit to the employees which are discussed below. The proposed new classification structure enhances the existing structure by the likelihood (only commitment in the EBA to develop a new structure but other Council structures have been referred to) of an additional 2 levels above the current Grade 8. There will be set criteria to meet these higher classifications but will allow current staff to progress to these if a role with the required skills & responsibilities is available. As the community grows so will the need for more resources and a different skill & responsibility level. The proposed new classification structure will help Council manage implications of this growth by developing its own staff and also be able to attract new staff. The inclement weather changes will formalise the process on how staff are managed during inclement weather. Staff will be expected to accumulate sufficient time that can be used (50% share between staff & Council) when it is not safe to carry out work, e.g. high temperatures. Essential services like waste collection is managed separately to this requirement. As the community grows it is expected that after hours calls also increase. Currently our after hours arrangements are managed by one staff member who then calls on assistance as required.

Page 28

The intention of the new standby system is to provide a roster type system. Staff on the roster are trained to deal with the type of requests that they may get. In effect the EBA proposal encompasses a number of initiatives apart from the wage increase and needs to be considered within this framework. Any changes to the proposed EBA will require further consideration and negotiations. Next Steps The Chief Executive Officer does not believe a wage increase beyond the proposed 4% is justified. The 4% per annum increase for the next 3 years along with the other changes in EBA that will see opportunities for staff to progress to higher classifications and better systems in regard to inclement weather and standby is an appropriate package that Council should support. Depending on the outcome from Council’s consideration will determine the next steps. In any event a further meeting with the negotiating committee will occur to update them on the Council decision. Council will be kept informed as to the outcome of these discussions.

Summary The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander War Memorial Committee wrote to Council’s CEO seeking a financial contribution towards building a memorial to pay tribute to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Servicemen and women. The letter is provided as Attachment 1. A further letter noting the proposed listing of contributors is provided as Attachment 2. A contribution calculator has been provided as a guide to Councils by the Local Government Association of South Australia (LGA SA) to help provide suggested contributions from Councils. Using the calculator provided, the suggested amount of Council’s contribution to the memorial appeal is $394.00. The LGA SA Calculations are provided as Attachment 3. Further Information Aboriginal and Torres Straight Island people have served in every conflict and peacekeeping mission in which Australia has participated, from the Boer War to the current conflict in Afghanistan. Prior to 1967 they served despite a national policy that discouraged and at times prohibited them from enlisting. Until now Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island service has been largely unrecognised. There is no national memorial of significance to Aboriginal servicemen and women in Australia. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island War Memorial Committee was formed in 2011 as an appeal committee to raise $550,000 to build a Memorial to stand adjacent to the Torrens Parade Ground. The total contribution sought from Metropolitan and Regional Councils is $80,000. Committee members come from a variety of sectors and include the arts (the Hon Diana Laidlaw AM), Local Government (Mayor Felicity-Ann Lewis), defence (Mr Andrew Fletcher), utilities (Mr Lew Owens), Mining (Mr John Roberts) and banking (Ms Jane Kittel). Former Governor, Sir Eric Neal is a Co Chairman with Mr Bill Denny (Director of Veterans SA). His Excellency Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce, Governor of Australia is Patron. Council is asked to consider the request.
