1.1     Apologies and Leave of Absence

1.2     LIVESTREAMING AND RECORDING

This Council Meeting is being livestreamed and recorded. By speaking at the Council Meeting you agree to being livestreamed and recorded. Please ensure that if and when you speak at this Council Meeting that you ensure you are respectful to others and use appropriate language at all times. Orange City Council accepts no liability for any defamatory or offensive remarks or gestures made during the course of this Council Meeting.

1.3     Acknowledgement of Country

I would like to acknowledge the Wiradjuri people who are the Traditional Custodians of the Land. I would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present of the Wiradjuri Nation and extend that respect to other Aboriginal Australians who are present.

1.4     Declaration of pecuniary interests, significant non-pecuniary interests and less than significant non-pecuniary interests

The provisions of Chapter 14 of the Local Government Act, 1993 (the Act) regulate the way in which Councillors and designated staff of Council conduct themselves to ensure that there is no conflict between their private interests and their public role.

The Act prescribes that where a member of Council (or a Committee of Council) has a direct or indirect financial (pecuniary) interest in a matter to be considered at a meeting of the Council (or Committee), that interest must be disclosed as soon as practicable after the start of the meeting and the reasons given for declaring such interest.

As members are aware, the provisions of the Local Government Act restrict any member who has declared a pecuniary interest in any matter from participating in the discussion or voting on that matter, and requires that member to vacate the Chamber.

Council’s Code of Conduct provides that if members have a non-pecuniary conflict of interest, the nature of the conflict must be disclosed. The Code of Conduct also provides for a number of ways in which a member may manage non pecuniary conflicts of interest.

Recommendation

It is recommended that Councillors now disclose any conflicts of interest in matters under consideration by the Council at this meeting.

Council Meeting                                                                                                   7 May 2019

4       Notices of Motion/Notices of Rescission

4.1     Rescission Motion - Funding Request for Orange Show Society

RECORD NUMBER:       2019/822

 

 

We, Cr Russell Turner, cr tony mileto and CR REG KIDD wish to move the following Notice of Rescission at the Council Meeting of 7 May 2019:

 

Motion

1        That Council rescind the loss of an amendment put to the Council Meeting of 2 April 2019. The amendment read ‘That a donation of $5,000.00 be made to the Orange Show Society for the Orange Show - 11-12 May 2019.”

2        The Council resolves to:

a.      approve a donation of up to $5,000 to the Orange Show Society for the total cost of hire of temporary stables following submission by the Society of a minimum of 2 quotes for the stable hire and a certified copy of their bank accounts to the Council; and

b.      set aside the approved Donations Policy with respect to this donation on the ground that the Orange Show is an important institution in the community and the Society does not have sufficient funds to pay the cost of the stable hire from its own funds; and

c.       direct the General Manager to submit a budget variation to the 3rd quarter review identifying a source of funds for this expenditure.

 

Background

Council can only assist other organisations financially (in cash or in kind) in accordance with section 356 of the Local Government Act 1993.

Council has in place a policy for donations to be made under section 356 of the Act and annually advertises for applications under this policy.

 

Signed        Cr Russell Turner           Cr Tony Mileto              Cr Reg Kidd   

Financial Implications

Council has $900.00 remaining in General Donations and $1,867.97 remaining in Emergent Funding. Sports participation applications are considered in line with the reserved budget for that category. If funding was to be provided for this request, it will need to be taken from another area to be identified at the next quarterly review.

POLICY AND GOVERNANCE IMPLICATIONS

The remainder of the budget for donations cannot cover this request and, as a second application in this financial year funding this application would breach the policy for donations.    


Council Meeting                                                                                                   7 May 2019

5       General Reports

5.1     Stronger Countries Community Fund - Alternative Project To Robertson Park Toilet

RECORD NUMBER:       2019/838

AUTHOR:                       Scott Maunder, Director Community, Recreation and Cultural Services    

 

 

EXECUTIVE Summary

Through round one of the Stronger Country Communities Fund Council was allocated $195,000 for the construction of an amenities facility within Robertson Park.

Following Council’s decision not to continue with the project Council is required to identify another project under the fund.

Council has received advice that it is able to change either the location of the project or the nature of the project but not both. This means either build amenities at another location or conduct another project in Robertson Park.

Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan

The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “1.2 Live - Maintain and renew recreational spaces and infrastructure to encourage an active and healthy lifestyle”.

Financial Implications

Nil

Policy and Governance Implications

Nil

 

Recommendation

That Council resolves to:

1        Advise the NSW Government that the preferred projects to replace the Robertson Park amenity project in priority order is:

a        Perry Oval

b       John Lomas Skate Park

c        Glenroi Oval

 

further considerations

Consideration has been given to the recommendation’s impact on Council’s service delivery; image and reputation; political; environmental; health and safety; employees; stakeholders and project management; and no further implications or risks have been identified.

SUPPORTING INFORMATION

Through round one of the Stronger Country Communities Fund Council was allocated $195,000 for the construction of an amenities facility within Robertson Park.

Following Council’s decision not to continue with the project, Council is required to identify another project under the fund.

Council has received advice that it is able to change either the location of the project or the nature of the project but not both. This means either build amenities at another location or conduct another project in Robertson Park.

There are no identified projects from Robertson Park and Council is unable to divert the funds to an alternative project that was not funded under round 1 of the Stronger Country Communities fund.

Council then is required to identify alternative projects for amenities block.

Sites that require amenities or a replacement of amenities are:

1        Perry Oval;

2        John Lomas Skate Park; and

3        Glenroi Oval.

From a grounds management perspective the extent of all round activity and lack of alternative facilities at Perry Oval warrants its priority over other locations. However the use of John Lomas Skate Park by community members who are utilising the Bizzy’s Café facilities (under an agreement with Council) also warrants a high priority.

The amenities at Glenroi Oval have been closed for many years, however the lack of regular formal activity at the site reduces the need for amenities.

It is the recommendation of staff that the order of priority for amenities is as listed:

1        Perry Oval;

2        John Lomas Skate Park; and

3        Glenroi Oval.

 

     


Council Meeting                                                                                                   7 May 2019

6     Closed Meeting - See Closed Agenda

The General Manager will advise the Council if any written submissions have been received relating to any item advertised for consideration by a closed meeting of Orange City Council.

The Mayor will extend an invitation to any member of the public present at the meeting to make a representation to Council as to whether the meeting should be closed for a particular item. In accordance with the Local Government Act 1993, and the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005, in the opinion of the General Manager, the following business is of a kind as referred to in Section 10A(2) of the Act, and should be dealt with in a Confidential Session of the Council meeting closed to the press and public.

Recommendation
