COUNCIL 20 DECEMBER 2011 (c) the financial interests of the Town's ratepayers are better served by receiving a payment on similar terms as the City of Stirling for its share of the equity in Mindarie Regional Council than remaining a member of Mindarie Regional Council; (vi) a further report be prepared and presented to Council on the implications of withdrawing from the Mindarie Regional Council. Amendment carried 8/0 COUNCIL DECISION: That:- (i) the valuation of the Mindarie Regional Council determined by PricewaterhouseCoopers not be accepted as a basis for determining the withdrawal payment to the City of Stirling due to the flawed basis of the assumptions used to calculate the value, namely that the remaining members will incur a “commercial” surcharge to the tipping fees; (ii) the following be noted: (a) (b) (c) the position of the City of Stirling in relation to the value of its shareholding in the Mindarie Regional Council, retaining its liability relating to the Resource Recovery Facility guarantee and retention of its ownership share in the land at the Tamala Park landfill site; that the Heads of Agreement to negotiate the withdrawal of the City of Stirling expired on 30 April 2011 and has not been renewed or extended; the Town of Cambridge agrees to continue participating in the negotiations to facilitate the withdrawal of the City of Stirling; (iii) the City of Stirling's withdrawal from the Mindarie Regional Council will reduce the City of Stirling’s tipping costs and increase the tipping costs of the remaining members of Mindarie Regional Council, and the City of Stirling has offered no compensation for the increased tipping costs to the remaining members; (iv) in relation to negotiations for the withdrawal of the City of Stirling from the Mindarie Regional Council, the Town’s position is that the City of Stirling: (a) be paid no more than its: (i) paid-in capital contributions; and (ii) share of the Members Revenue Equalisation Reserve (i.e. unders/overs account); from current accumulated Mindarie Regional Council funds; (b) not be released from its liabilities under the Resource Recovery Facility guarantee to Biovision; (c) retain its post closure liabilities for the Tamala Park landfill in proportion to the tonnes tipped to the total of members tonnes over the life of the landfill; (d) retain its ownership share in the land at the Tamala Park landfill site; (v) in the event that Mindarie Regional Council agrees to pay the City of Stirling an amount greater than that detailed in (iv)(a) above, this Council applies to the Minister for Local Government to withdraw from Mindarie Regional Council in accordance with Section 699 of the Local Government Act 1960 at the same time and on the same financial terms as the City of Stirling for the following reasons: H:\Ceo\Gov\Council Minutes\11 MINUTES\December 2011\D Item 10 Onwards.docx 237
COUNCIL 20 DECEMBER 2011 (a) (b) (c) the payment to the City of Stirling in excess of that detailed in (iv)(a) above will add greater financial risk to the members of the Mindarie Regional Council without any compensation for the increased cost of tipping that will be met by the members; it is unlikely that the Town would be able to withdraw from the Mindarie Regional Council on similar terms in the future; the financial interests of the Town's ratepayers are better served by receiving a payment on similar terms as the City of Stirling for its share of the equity in Mindarie Regional Council than remaining a member of Mindarie Regional Council; (vi) a further report be prepared and presented to Council on the implications of withdrawing from the Mindarie Regional Council.
