COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 27 NOVEMBER 2012 CR12.175 MINDARIE REGIONAL COUNCIL MEETINGS 20 SEPTEMBER AND 25 OCTOBER 2012 PURPOSE OF REPORT: To report on items considered at a Mindarie Regional Special Council meeting held on Thursday, 20 September and at its Ordinary Council meeting held on 25 October 2012. BACKGROUND: The purpose of the Mindarie Regional Council (MRC) is to provide waste disposal facilities at least for its members within the Mindarie region. The MRC generally meets on six occasions each year for Ordinary meetings and holds Special meetings when required to progress specific initiatives. Meeting Dates for 2012 All meetings commence at 5.30pm. • Thursday, 23 February 2012 - City of Stirling • Thursday, 19 April 2012 - City of Joondalup • Thursday, 5 July 2012 - City of Wanneroo • Thursday, 23 August 2012 - City of Vincent • Thursday, 25 October 2012 - City of Perth • Thursday, 6 December 2012 - Town of Victoria Park Special Council meetings will also be required during the year to assist in finalising arrangements for City of Stirling to withdraw from the Mindarie Regional Council and to consider matters of urgency. DETAILS: Special Council Meeting - 20 September 2012 Item 1: MRC Waste Facility Site Amendment Local Law 2012 The purpose of this local law is to implement changes as requested by the Joint Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation. The Committee has reviewed the Mindarie Regional Waste Facility Site Local Law and has recommended a number of minor changes to be addressed. These recommendations have been endorsed by the MRC and approved to be advertised for public comment. Item 2: Extend City of Stirling's Exemption to Dispose of Waste at MRC's Facilities As the withdrawal of City of Stirling from the Mindarie Regional Council has not been finalised, it is necessary to consider another waste tipping exemption in accordance with the MRC constitution. In June 2012, an exemption was extended to expire on 30 September 2012. The Minister to date has not advised how long he is going to deal with the withdrawal and, as such, it is extremely unlikely that a decision would be made prior to 30 September 2012. It is accepted the State Government has now presented its position on the Metropolitan Local H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\12 MINUTES\NOVEMBER 2012\C CR.DOCX 131
COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 27 NOVEMBER 2012 Government Review and there is to be a State Government election in March 2013. It is not expected any decision will be made until after the March 2013 State Government election and on that basis the City of Stirling has been granted a further extension to the exemption from delivering wastes to both Tamala Park landfill and the Neerabup RRF for a further 9 month period to the 30 June 2013. The City of Stirling can dispose of any waste to MRC facilities on the condition that commercial charges are levied. Item 3: RRFA Performance Measures - Compost Management In July 2012, the MRC approved a Deed of Amendment to the RRFA which included a suite of compost targets which were established. A consequence of this meant that the contractor (Biovision/Sita) were to be liable for a fee abatement based on non-conformance with the amended compost targets. Subsequently, Biovision/Sita have raised concerns about the impact and quantum of fee abatement for non-conformance relating to compost targets for which Biovision/Sita have no control and are unable to influence by the RRFA process. A report was considered at this meeting and the issue was again deferred to the next ordinary council meeting due to be held on 25 October 2012. Item 4: Container Deposit Legislation This report provided information on the current status of Container Deposit Schemes in Western Australia and provided a recommendation to confirm the stance of the Mindarie Regional Council. The MRC decision was to support any member council that decides to implement a Container Deposit Scheme (CDS), primarily by way of educational support in providing their position to schools and the community and by assisting in the organising and running of events and activities within Member Council's areas. Comment: It is noted at the Town of Cambridge meeting held 28 August 2012, a notice of motion was considered on adopting a Council decision to support immediate introduction of a Cash for Containers Scheme for Western Australia. The motion was lost. Item 5: RRF - Request for Relocation of Adjoining Tenant (CONFIDENTIAL ITEM) For some time, there has been discussion between the MRC and the tenants living in a house on the property adjacent to the RRF in Neerabup. The request is to relocate the current tenants due to alleged odour from the RRF facility causing ill health to the tenants. It was decided to defer this item and reconsider at the next ordinary council meeting scheduled for 25 October 2012 where a further report from the CEO will be presented. Item 6: City of Stirling Withdrawal - Alternative Valuation Method Prepared by Delloitte (CONFIDENTIAL ITEM) It was decided for the MRC to engage Delloitte to develop a valuation method that accurately reflects the value of the MRC when determining a financial settlement of a withdrawing member council at a cost of $60,000 ex GST. This consultancy was unbudgeted and will be funded in the half yearly budget review. Comment: Previously Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) has been commissioned on a similar exercise. Whilst that report is finished, various MRC member councils have various opinions on its quantum and methodology. H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\12 MINUTES\NOVEMBER 2012\C CR.DOCX 132
