2.0 ANNOUNCEMENTS BY PRESIDING PERSON WITHOUT DISCUSSION

A reminder that next Tuesday this Shire will be speaking to the Local Government Advisory Board about the amalgamation process which all the Metropolitan Local Governments are going through. The Shire submitted an amalgamation proposal and initially so did the City of Swan. In January the Minister put in his proposal which was a boundary change so we have a situation now where City of Swan has changed its mind and are now going for a boundary change. Shire of Mundaring wants to secure its recommendation for amalgamation. The reason why is the fairer process, and means that under amalgamation there is a sense of equality, the ability to sit down and have fair and equitable discussions and have joint decision making. Under a boundary change City of Swan is the entity, the controller, and stays in place and it is the Swan workforce and Swan Councillors that are a be all and end all. So it is quite different. We acknowledge that City of Swan has resources and a large potential for development. However, Shire of Mundaring argues that denying the Mundaring expertise, experience and local knowledge as part of the way forward is a huge mistake and a huge loss to the new entity. If we can get an amalgamation recommendation to the Minister that would be a fantastic achievement.

SUMMARY: This report provides information on the various detailed concept options produced to date for new building facilities at Boya oval and recommends Council proceed to invite tenders for architectural services for detailed design and documentation for construction of a Library and Community Centre on one of the presented options.

BACKGROUND:

It is proposed to construct a new Western Library in line with Council decisions C4.11.09, SC3.12.11, C17.04.13 and C7.01.14) as reproduced below. In 2009 a report was commissioned to identify the need for a new library or libraries. The report was noted by Council and it was decided to draw on the report’s recommendations to drive exploration of how the construction of any new library might be achieved. Direction was given to Shire employees through the following Council decision (C4.11.09).

“That -

(a) Council notes the plan entitled “Shire of Mundaring Library Concept Plan” as at ATTACHMENT 3 and draws on the recommendations within the plan to drive the future development of the libraries;

(b) a report be prepared by the Investment Property Committee, for subsequent presentation to Council (by no later than May 2010) outlining potential sites in the western region of the Shire for the Katharine Susannah Pritchard Library (KSP);

(c) the report from the Investment Property Committee also provide advice on possible funding models for the KSP Library building;

(d) a report be provided to Council (no later than May 2010) on options within the Long Term Financial Plan of bringing forward the construction of new library facilities within the Mundaring townsite.”

C8 FEBRUARY 2014

A set of concept plans and costings were developed by Braude and Associates Architects for three potential sites for the western suburbs library. These were (a) in its current location at the corner of Great Eastern Highway and Scott Street, Greenmount; (b) at Brown Park in Swan View and (c) at Boya Oval in Boya (see attached Braude Boya Oval concept plan, marked DWG 1) On receipt of the report from the Investment Property Committee, Council resolved to continue to provide a two branch library service in the Shire and locate any proposed western suburbs library at Boya Oval, along with replacement of other ageing infrastructure at that location (SC3.12.11).

“That - 1) A two branch library service continue to be provided in the

Shire of Mundaring, with one branch located east and one branch located west of Greenmount Hill;

2) a) Subject to further examination upon detailed conceptual

design and associated costings being prepared, the preferred location and configuration for the western areas library and associated community buildings, is an integrated community facility at Boya Oval (‘Option 5’ as outlined in ATTACHMENT 1); and

b) These integrated community facilities at Boya Oval

incorporate the replacement of some sporting club facilities; the replacement of the Boya Hall into community meeting rooms to replace the existing facilities; as well as incorporating the reconfiguration of the oval.

c) The project includes minor upgrade and refurbishment

of the Brown Park Community Centre and the addition of the Swan View Toy Library at the Brown Park Community Centre.

3) It be noted the actual timing of construction of any new

facilities is dependent on the Shire’s other budgetary commitments, performance of the Property Strategy and available Civic Facilities Reserve Fund balances;

4) The CEO call a tender to prepare detailed conceptual design

drawings and construction estimates by a quantity survey for ‘Option 5’ as outlined in ATTACHMENT 1 to enable subsequent consideration and approval by Council prior to proceeding to the final detailed construction set of drawings;

5) The Shire’s Investment Property Committee be requested to

commence work on the rezoning and sale of properties identified in the report as being required for sale to support the option recommended, with the exception of Site B.”

C9 FEBRUARY 2014

Detailed concept designs complying with the standards referenced in the Shire of Mundaring Library Concept Plan and current sporting facilities standards were produced by Santelli Architects, in consultation with Shire employees, for the Boya Oval site. The original Braude & Associates design was considered and found to be inadequate in several key areas, such as minimum required parking, and a limited size oval, before it became obvious that the most functional design would place the new buildings to the east, with a realigned and maximised oval configuration. Following a report on this information, Council directed employees to explore more options as per the following resolution (C17.04.13).

“That Council authorises the CEO to engage an architect (and/or other suitably qualified professionals) to develop detailed concept plans for the following options: 1. Reviewing the costed concept plans for the proposed

Western Suburbs library at Boya Oval (and associated realignment and expansion works to the oval, construction of a new sports clubroom, demolition of Boya Hall, construction of a covered spectator area adjoining the tennis courts and construction of community facilities such as meeting rooms and function spaces designed to replace the Boya Hall and Greenmount Hall), to deliver a project that better reflects Council’s indicative budget of approximately $8.2M;

2. Full upgrade of the Brown Park Community Centre and

construction of the Swan View Toy Library within the Community Centre (but not including a Western Suburbs Library);

3. Construction of the Swan View Toy Library only within the

Brown Park Community Centre. A commercial kitchen to be maintained in a fully operational state; and

4. No Western Suburbs Library construction at Boya Oval

Suburbs but construction of a new community building housing meeting and function rooms, and a new sports clubroom, after demolition of the existing change rooms and Boya Hall.”

Following Council decision C17.04.13 further architectural work, in consultation with Shire employees, was carried out to develop the required concepts and costings. These were presented to Council at the Council meeting of 28 January 2014 where it was resolved, in part (C7.01.14);

“3. Directs the Chief Executive Officer to prepare a report to Council examining all architectural options and costings prepared to date for a library and community facilities to be located at Boya Oval, by no later than 25 February 2014.”

STATUTORY / LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: Nil POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Nil FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The original estimate produced by Braude & Associates Architects three years previously in 2009 was $7.9 million (no contingency allowance). A sum of $8.2 million is allocated in the Corporate Business Plan over the three year period from 2014/15 to 2016/17. STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS Nil SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS: Social – Providing new and upgraded facilities will improve the cultural, leisure and recreational services and facilities offered in the community. Upgrading under-used and sub-standard buildings contributes to the amenity of the Shire’s facilities and the health and safety of the community.

Accessibility will be a primary, integral part of the design of any buildings. Environmental – The design of all buildings will incorporate all statutory and other reasonable means available to reduce energy consumption, and maximise the efficient use of energy and water. Construction of community function space within the Boya Oval Community Building will provide additional space for current users of Greenmount Hall in addition to the planned upgrade of Brown Park Community Centre. Economic – Improvements to the community facilities at Boya Oval through provision of more useable community spaces could increase its appeal to the community, thus increasing usage and income return for the Shire and possible local employment opportunities.

C11 FEBRUARY 2014

RISK IMPLICATIONS Not proceeding with the Boya Oval library project within the Corporate Business plan may jeopardise its timing upon the creation of a new local government entity. By delaying until a new entity is formed may result in a better planned outcome and integration of library services and community facilities in this region of a new local government entity. CONSULTATION: Public consultation has taken place regarding the need for a new Western Library and consultants, along with Shire staff, have defined the requirements of the finished building. Further public and in-house consultation will occur for all proposed works as the architects carry out any future, detailed design phase of the project. COMMENT: Original Detailed Boya Oval Option The detailed concept designs for this option were costed at $10.72 million (inclusive of a $300k contingency allowance), being approximately $2.5 million above the budget estimate of $8.2 million (not including potential additional funding of $1.5 million from the Sale of the current library site). This option was also presented as a two staged project to meet the budget funding of $8.2 million. The staging involved constructing all facilities less the new clubroom and retaining the existing change rooms. The replacement of the existing change rooms is not deemed a priority for the foreseeable future and could be done as a separate project at a later date, estimated at $2.75 million, being $200,000 more if completed as a separate project. The attached aerial photo (DWG 2) and “Proposed site plan upper” (DWG 3) illustrate the proposed location of new building works along with the realigned oval. Two drawings show floor plans and elevations of the Library/Community Centre (DWG 4) and Sports Clubrooms (DWG 5). Proposed Western Suburbs library at Boya Oval (and associated works) Option, to deliver a project that better reflects Council’s indicative budget of approximately $8.2M To comply as closely as possible with point 1 of Council’s decision of April 2013, floor areas and functional spaces in all proposed buildings were reviewed and reduced. The resulting concept designs do not meet the needs and standards on which the original designs were based, and in fact in the case of the library would simply replace an existing undersized facility with a new undersized facility, given that the Shire of Mundaring Library Concept Plan specified a library of some 900m². The reduced library shown has a floor area of 740m² (including offices, workroom and amenities), 82% of the required size. It was not considered that a further reduction in the library floor area could be seriously proposed. As detailed

Page 13: Confirmed Minutes Council 25 February 2014...25.02.2014 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES CONFIRMED 11.03.14 C4 FEBRUARY 2014 5.0 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME Procedures for asking and responding to

25.02.2014 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES CONFIRMED 11.03.14

C12 FEBRUARY 2014

below, to reduce costs in line with proposed budgets, a further, substantial reduction of the library floor area would be required. The revised floor plan shows removal of the meeting room space (200m²) to leave a hall space with a floor area of 300m², and deletion of the originally proposed kiosk space. The sports clubroom has been reduced to a change rooms building with the clubroom (or social-cum-function area) deleted. The effect of all of these reductions to date is a new costing of $8.6 million. Adding a contingency sum for the project of $300,000 gives a total estimated cost of $8.9 million, some $700,000 above the original budget estimate. To reduce costs in line with budgets would require a further reduction in floor area of the library of some 280m² to 460m², as well as a reduction in the new change room building to delete some of the amenities. The attached plans show the revised site plan with reduced facilities (DWG 6), a floor plan of the reduced library and community hall building (DWG 7) and a floor plan of the reduced change rooms building (DWG 8). While a reduction to match the actual budget estimate has not yet been achieved through this concept design process, it is possible to do so. It is open to Council to reduce the proposed facility to whatever form it requires, but caution is recommended in that proposed reductions may produce facilities which will not meet the community’s needs now, or into the future. Reduction of the library floor space below that which was originally recommended in the Aspire report may represent poor value for money as this project was initiated to provide a library facility of a size and standard to deliver a modern library service, replacing the existing, undersized building which is no longer fit for purpose. No Western Suburbs Library at Boya Oval and a new community building housing meeting and function rooms, and a new sports clubroom Option Point four of Council’s resolution of April 2014 called for a design of the Boya Oval site including all facilities except the library. This is shown on the attached plan marked DWG 9. The costing developed by the QS for this option is $7.72 million. Adding a contingency sum of $300,000 to this cost estimate gives a total project cost of $8.02 million. The original driver for the project, with Council’s subsequent decision to locate the project at Boya Oval, was the identified need to replace the existing KSP Library with a new facility. The fundamental reason for this replacement is the lack of space in, and suitable design of, the current library building, which was judged to be unable to meet its current community demand, as well as future demand. Another point for Council to note is that the land on which the KSP library currently sits would then not be available for sale/development – a key plank in

the original funding plan for this project. The estimated value of sale of the land at Scott Street / Great Eastern Highway is $1.5 million. CONCLUSION: The original detailed concept option presented by Santelli Architects minus the Sports Clubroom room facility (DWG 4) is considered to best meet the objectives of a new library and community facilities within the current $8.2 million allocation of the Corporate Business Plan. If this project is to proceed, it is recommended that the original detailed concept option presented by Santelli Architects for the Library/Community Centre component (DWG 4) be pursued through to the next stage of development being the appointment of an architect to produce detailed designs for construction and documentation to enable a public tender to be undertaken. Once a public tender is completed the cost of construction will be known and any required adjustments, should they be necessary, can be undertaken within the funding allocations of the Corporate Business Plan.

SUMMARY: A list of accounts paid from the Municipal Fund or Trust Fund under the Chief Executive Officer’s delegated authority for the month of December 2013 is presented to Council to note. BACKGROUND:

SUMMARY: It is a statutory requirement to undertake a review of the annual budget in the third quarter of each financial year. Shire staff have conducted a review, identifying changes to the Shire’s financial position and changes to forecast outcomes. Material variances are also reported against. Council is requested to consider and adopt the Budget Review as presented in the Statement of Financial Activity (Rate Setting Statement and Cost Summary Report by Directorate) for the period 1 July 2013 to 31 January 2014 (see ATTACHMENT 4). BACKGROUND: A Statement of Financial Activity incorporating year to date budget variations and forecasts to 30 June 2014 for the period ending 31 January 2014 is presented for Council to consider. The Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996, regulation 33A, requires that local governments conduct a budget review between 1 January and 31 March in each financial year. A copy of the review and determination is to be provided to the Department of Local Government within 30 days of the adoption of the review.

STATUTORY / LEGAL IMPLICATIONS:

Regulation 33A (Review of Budget) of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996, as amended, requires the local government to carry out a review of its annual budget between 1 January and 31 March each year as follows:

*Absolute majority required.

(4) Within 30 days after a council has made a determination, a copy of the review and determination is to be provided to the Department.

COMMENT:

The budget has been reviewed to continue to deliver on strategies adopted by the council and maintains a high level of service across all programs. As a result of this budget review the closing funds remain in surplus, with an increase of $677,228 (from $1,060,355 to $1,737,283). The budget review has been prepared to include information required by the Local Government Act 1995, Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 and Australian Accounting Standards. Council adopted the following (C24.05.13) for the reporting of material variances to be used in the statements of financial activity and the annual budget review: • (+) or (-) $50,000 or 10%, whichever is the greater for Revenue; and • (+) or (-) $100,000 or 10%, whichever is the greater for Expenses These variance thresholds are for each Directorate. The major impacts on the budget review are:

Strategic & Community Services Expenditure Forecast end of year expenditure has increased by $2,211,259. The reasons for this variation are:

The budget of $2,260,00 for the Bilgoman Pool Upgrade being moved from

the Coordinator Parks Service budget to the Bilgoman Aquatic Centre Manager budget;

Forecast expenditure of $200,000 of Local Government Reform. This has

been offset by a grant of $200,000 from the State Government; The budget for the Communication Plan for Sculpture Park being reduced

from $58,576 to $10,000. The balance of this budget will be spread over 2014/15 and 2015/16;

Savings in the Shire’s Advocacy Strategy being identified reducing the budget

from $30,000 to $7,500; and Savings of $289,543 due to the Truffle Festival not proceeding this year.

Council should note that the savings is partially offset by $235,000 in foregone income.

Revenue Forecast revenue has decreased by $13,663 which is within the variance threshold.

C61 FEBRUARY 2014

Office of Chief Executive & Corporate Services Expenditure There is a decrease in forecast expenditure of $6,191,253. The main reasons for this variation are:

The budgeted transfer of $6,345,000 into the Property Investment Reserve is

not forecast to occur as this was dependent on land sales occurring; and

An increase in the forecast Elected Members Fees and Allowances of $94,573 above the original budget (Approved by Council – C19.07.13).

Revenue There is a reduction of $6,633,322 in forecast year end revenue. The main reasons for this variation are: Budgeted Income of $6,345,000 from land sales under the Shire’s Investment

Property Strategy in not expected to be received due to delays in the sale of land. It should be noted that these funds were to be transferred to Property Investment Reserve; and

Forecast interest received from the investment for municipal funds and cash

backed reserves has been reduced by $220,000 (from $1,070,000 to $850,000)

Infrastructure Services Expenditure There is a decrease in forecast expenditure of $2,758,039. The reasons for this variation are:

The budget of $2,260,00 for the Bilgoman Pool Upgrade being moved from

the Coordinator Parks Service budget to the Bilgoman Aquatic Centre Manager budget;

Forecast expenditure on sub division costs being reduced from $3,750,000 to

$995,000;

Forecast expenditure of $1,200,000 on the Mundaring Weir Project (payment to Water Corporation) which was not included in the budget. This has been fully funded by a Lotterywest grant;

The forecast purchase of a vehicle for $31,000 for a Fire Hazard Inspection

Officer (to be employed in the last quarter of the financial year) which was not included in the budget. The introduction of the Fire Hazard Inspection Officer position has been brought forward from 2014/15 and reflects an increased focus on mitigating fire hazards (including reducing fuel loads) within the Shire all year round ;

25.02.2014 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES CONFIRMED 11.03.14

C62 FEBRUARY 2014

The forecast expenditure of $28,000 for the purchase of a Parks Vehicle that

was not included in the original budget (funded by savings in parks infrastructure maintenance);

Forecast expenditure of $762,800 on incomplete infrastructure works carried

over from 2012/13 (had been forecast to be completed by 30 June 2012);

An increase in forecast capital expenditure of $85,000 for Footpaths due to cost overruns for complete projects; and

An increase in forecast capital expenditure of $26,800 for Roads and

Drainage due to cost overruns for complete projects

Revenue There is a reduction of $1,483,089 in forecast year end revenue. The main reasons for this variation are:

A reduction of $2,755,000 in forecast transfers from the Capital Investment

Reserve due to a reduction in expenditure on subdivisions costs;

An increase of $108,667 in forecast grant income for roads;

A reduction of $108,756 in forecast grant income for the Reserve Works Program; and

An increase of $1,260,000 in forecast grant income (Lotterywest) which was

not included in the original budget for the Mundaring Weir and Sculpture Park Facilities.

Statutory Services Expenditure Forecast end of year expenditure has increased by $2,900,900.

The reasons for this variation are:

Additional forecast expenditure of $16,400 for a new Fire Hazard Inspection

Officer to be appointed during the last three months of this financial year (as explained in the variations for Infrastructure Services). This expenditure was not included in the original budget;

Unbudgeted forecast expenditure of $2.5 million for costs associated with the

demolition and clean-up of those properties destroyed by the Parkerville Fire. These costs are reimbursed under WANDRRA;

Unbudgeted forecast expenditure of $150,000 for non WANDRRA related

costs associated with the recovery process after the Parkerville Fire (e.g. costs associated with recovery centre, call centre etc.);

25.02.2014 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES CONFIRMED 11.03.14

C63 FEBRUARY 2014

Forecast expenditure of $20,000 for works on the Animal Pound Shelter that was not included in the original budget;

Additional forecast expenditure of $115,000 for Planning legal Fees for Costs

associated with Sivewright (Coppin Rd) appeal; and Additional forecast expenditure of $30,000 for maps associated with TPS 4.

Revenue Forecast year end revenue has increased by $2,632,861. The reasons for this variation are:

Unbudgeted forecast revenue of $2.5 million for reimbursements under

WANDRRA for costs associated with the demolition and clean-up of those properties destroyed by the Parkerville Fire;

Additional forecast revenue of $26,000 for dog registration fees;

Additional forecast revenue of $10,000 for fines under the Dog Act; and

Additional forecast revenue of $51,000 for planning fees and charges. Opening Budget Surplus The forecast opening budget surplus was $3,757,517 whilst the actual opening budget surplus was $6,014,758; a difference of $2,257,241.

The main reasons for this difference are:

$876,320 in capital works included in the 2012/13 budget not being

completed by 30 June 2013. When the opening budget position was forecast in the 2013/14 budget, these works had been forecast to have been completed by 30 June 2013.

The advance payment by the Western Australian Local Government Grants

Commission of the 2013/14 General Purpose Grant ($1.2m) and Formula Local Road Grant ($541k). This payment occurred in June 2013 after the budget had been adopted.

At 31 January 2014, the forecast for the 2013/14 financial year budget is that net expenditure (as indicated in the attached Cost Report Summary by Directorate) will be unfavourable to the approved budget by an estimated $1,670,080. However this is offset by the opening budget surplus being $2,257,241 greater than what was forecast in the budget.

COMMENT: The position for the period ended 31 January 2014 for the Shire is that the actual overall net result of $6,254,814 compares favourably to the year to date budget by $2,299,718. A number of reports (see ATTACHMENT 5) are attached to this item as follows:

Responsibility Reports for the year to 31January 2014.

Net Current Assets and Unrestricted Funds position at 31 January 2014 and

include a graph comparing the current year month end position to the previous year.

Rate Setting Statement explaining how Rate Funds received are accounted

for. Timing differences in financial reporting are due to the monthly spread of the budget cash flow variances. That is, income or expenditure is estimated over a twelve month period and actual receipt and expenditure of funds may not occur in the month estimated. This will result in some income and expenditure being recognised in different periods, i.e. timing differences originate in one period and reverse or "turn around" in one or more subsequent periods. Note: timing differences will not result in a forecast adjustment as the expenditure or income item will still be captured in the financial year in question. Strategic and Community Services: Year to date revenue – favourable variance of $336,928 Year to date expenditure – favourable variance of $164,511 Year to date net result – favourable variance of $501,439 The variances in revenue and expenditure are due to timing differences or otherwise as explained in the annual budget review, which is presented to Council at this Council Meeting.

Office of Chief Executive and Corporate Services: Year to date revenue – unfavourable variance of ($4,576,510) Year to date expenditure – favourable variance of $4,331,360 Year to date net result – unfavourable variance of ($245,510)

The variances in revenue and expenditure are due to timing differences or otherwise as explained in the annual budget review, which is presented to Council at this Council Meeting.

SUMMARY: The annual review of the delegations register has been undertaken and is presented to Council for consideration. An updated draft delegations register is attached (ATTACHMENT 6). BACKGROUND: Sections 5.18 and 5.46 of the Local Government Act 1995 require a local government to keep a register of delegations from Council to the CEO, employees and committees. These delegations must be reviewed at least once every financial year to ensure that they are consistent with current legislation and that they are still necessary. Council last reviewed its delegations register on 26 February 2013. STATUTORY / LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: Local Government Act 1995 s. 5.18 – Register of delegations to committees; Local Government Act 1995 s. 5.46 – Register of, and records relevant to, delegations to CEO and employees. POLICY IMPLICATIONS: A number of delegations are subject to compliance with Council’s policy on the matter. This is noted in the “compliance links” section of the delegation. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications relative to this issue. STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS: Strategic Community Plan 2013 – 2023:

Strategic Theme: Thriving Community Strategic Theme: Respected Civic Leadership.

Introduction

The Delegations of Authority contained in this manual are made to the Chief Executive Officer pursuant to section 5.42 of the Local Government Act 1995 (the Act) and to Committees pursuant to section 5.16. Where listed some of these functions are delegated by the Chief Executive Officer to Shire of Mundaring employees pursuant to section 5.44 of the Act. All delegations made by Council must be by absolute majority decision.

The Act provides that the following are decisions that cannot be delegated to the Chief Executive Officer (s. 5.43):

Any power or duty that requires a decision of an absolute majority or 75% majority of the local government.

Accepting a tender which exceeds an amount determined by the local government.

Appointing an auditor.

Acquiring or disposing of any property valued at an amount exceeding the amount determined by the local government.

Any of the local government’s powers under sections 5.98, 5.98A, 5.99, 5.99A and 5.100 of the Act.

Borrowing money on behalf of the local government.

Hearing or determining an objection of a kind referred to in section 9.5.

The power under section 9.49A (4) to authorise a person to sign documents on behalf of the local government.

Any power or duty that requires the approval of the Minister or the Governor.

Such other duties or powers as may be prescribed.

Furthermore the following regulations prescribe powers and duties which cannot be delegated to a CEO:

Regulation 18G of the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 prohibits the delegation to a CEO of the powers and duties under:

(i) Sections 7.12A(2), 7.12A(3)(a) and 7.12A(4) of the Local Government Act 1995 (relating to meetings with auditors); and

(ii) Regulations 18C and 18D (relating to the selection and appointment of CEOs and reviews of their performance).

Regulation 6 of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 prohibits the delegation of the duty to conduct an internal audit to an employee (including a CEO) who has been delegated the duty of maintaining the local government’s day to day accounts or financial management operations.

The Act allows for the Chief Executive Officer to delegate any of their powers to another employee, this must be done in writing. These powers cannot, however, be further sub-delegated (s. 5.44). The Act also allows the delegator to place conditions on any delegations if required.

A register of delegations, being this manual, is to be kept and reviewed at least once every financial year.

If a person is exercising a power or duty that they have been delegated, the Act requires them to keep records relating to the exercise of the power or discharge of the duty. The written record is to contain:

How and when the person exercised the power or discharged the duty; and

The persons or classes of persons, other than council or committee members or employees of the local government, directly affected by the exercise of the power or the discharge of the duty.
