8.3 COMMUNITY GRANTS - SEPTEMBER 2010

Author Manager Community Development

Purpose

The Community Grants Committee assessed applications for the first funding round of the Grants Program for the 2010/11 financial year on 6 September 2010. This report contains details of applications received and the Committee’s recommendations for funding.

Background/Discussion

This is the first round of applications to be received and considered for the 2010/11 financial year. The final round for 2010/11 will close on Friday 18 February 2011. Sixty three (63) applications requesting a total of $342,902.27 were received and assessed, with twenty seven (27) applications being recommended for either full or part funding. The committee is also recommending that two of the applicants be referred to Council’s Information Technology program to be considered for a PC or Laptop as part of Council’s computer changeover program. Members of the Grants and Sponsorship Committee individually assessed applications. At the assessment meeting, members shared further information, which was available, applications were prioritized and funding levels determined. Cr Steindl declared a conflict of interest in respect to the applications from Gum Valley Veterans and Natural Terrain Motorcycle Club, and Mackay Sport Expo/ Sign on Day

Committee, Sarina Junior Rugby League and abstained from assessing these applications. Cr Cameron declared a conflict of interest in respect to the application from The Mackay & District Bowmen Inc and abstained from assessing their application. The grant information and writing sessions that have been held have seen the diversity of applications to the program increase over previous years, however some of the applications received were incomplete and therefore have not been considered for funding in this round. Those applicants whose applications were incomplete will be supported by Community Development Officers so that their application may be considered in future rounds.

Consultation and Communication

General enquires were undertaken to ensure that applicants were not requesting funding for a service/project/event which was already available to the community as a whole. Further research into specific groups and content of applications was undertaken to provide additional information requested by members of the Grants Committee.

Committee Recommendations from round 1 $100,422.55

Balance remaining for round 2 $99,577.45

Conclusion

The variety of organisations applying for funding through this program continues to increase as a result of media strategies and grant writing workshops/information sessions. The requests continue to exceed available budget thus making the grant process competitive and challenging for the assessment committee.

8.4 FOOD FOR FINES 2010

Author Manager Community Development and Libraries

Purpose

To seek Council support for the continuation of the Food For Fines program for Christmas 2010 at Mackay Regional Council Libraries and allowing food items to be accepted in lieu of overdue fees.

Background/Discussion

Mackay Regional Council Libraries once again would like to hold an overdue fines amnesty for customers in exchange for donations of food items in the lead up to Christmas 2010. In the Food For Fines drive, customers with overdue charges on their Library card may donate non-perishable food items to the value of their fines and have their Library fines waived. The food is then donated to a selected local charity. Food For Fines was started in 1994 by Mackay Libraries and continued until 2001. Food for Fines was reinstated in 2004 and has continued annually since 2005. Food For Fines has proved extremely popular with library customers – and customers have asked if it will be held again. Mackay Regional Council Libraries would like to continue the Food for Fines program in November/December 2010. Over a four week period, customers will be given the option of providing non-perishable food items in lieu of their overdue fees. Every year the library donates the proceeds to a different local charity organisation, St Vincent de Paul in 2004/2010 , the Salvation Army in 2005/2008, Life Line in 2006 and Kalyan House in 2007. If Food For Fines is approved, Mackay Regional Council Libraries will approach charities closer to the Christmas period. The Food for Fines initiative encourages customers to return overdue books and clear their accounts while at the same time helping those in need in the community during the Christmas period. It ensures that books are returned from recalcitrant borrowers that may not be returned otherwise. Last year the Food For Fines campaign resulted in over eight trolley loads of food donated to the Salvation Army Mackay at an equivalent value of approximately $4055 waived fines. Mackay Libraries would like to hold Food for Fines from Monday 15 November until Saturday 11 December 2010.

Consultation and Communication

The decision to continue Food for Fines in 2010 was made in consultation with Library staff and customers. Consultation will be undertaken with a charity organisation chosen for this year regarding collection of food items donated at a time closer to Christmas.

FINAL MINUTES 22 SEPTEMBER 2010

MIN/22.09.2010 FOLIO 12583

Resource Implications/Risk Management

Only overdue fees can be waived for a food donation, as customers are charged a maximum of $10, the maximum amount waived will be $10 per customer. Some space will be required to store the food. Staff must take payments ordinarily so there will be no impact on staff time.

Conclusion

Continuing the Food for Fines programme is another opportunity to profile Mackay Regional Council’s contribution to the community and provides customers with the chance to clear their library accounts while helping others.

Officer Recommendation

THAT Council support continuing Food For Fines in 2010.

AND THAT Council allows Mackay Regional Council Libraries to waive overdue fees in lieu of donations of non-perishable food items to the value of the overdue fee for the Food for Fines period.

Council Resolution

THAT the Officer's Recommendation be adopted. Moved Cr May Seconded Cr Perkins

8.8 EXECUTIVE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REPORT - FOR THE SECOND MONTH TO 31 AUGUST 2010

Author EXECUTIVE MANAGER GOVERNANCE

Purpose

To present the Executive Financial Performance Report for the second month to 31 August 2010.

Background/Discussion

The Progress at a Glance Summary for the month ending 31 August 2010 indicates one area of possible concern (Governance area) although this is being investigated further and an update will be provided in the next report. As at 31 August 2010, Council Operating Income totalled $82,848,713 and Operating Expenditure totalled $31,876,076. Total Capital Expenditure to date equals $15,862,329. Operating revenue is currently above budget on a pro-rata basis as a result of the first half yearly rating notice being issued in late July and operating expenses are reasonably in line with expectations on an aggregate basis at this point in time. Capital expenditure is below budget on a pro-rata basis and this is to be expected at this point in the expenditure cycle. More reliable patterns should start to emerge by the end of the first quarter (September 2010) as project delivery gains momentum and transactions such as payment of the quarterly loan repayments are reflected.

Consultation and Communication

Chief Executive Officer, Directors, Executive Managers and Program Managers.

Resource Implications/Risk Management

Conclusion

There are no areas of significant concern at this early stage of the financial year and operating revenue exceeds operating expenditure primarily due to the processing of the first half yearly rate levy.

Purpose

To report to Council on the tenders received for the installation of Solid Roofed Shade Structures that are being funded under the Federal Governments Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program (RLCIP) and recommend that the contract be awarded to Shade'n Net.

FINAL MINUTES 22 SEPTEMBER 2010

MIN/22.09.2010 FOLIO 12592

Background/Discussion

On the 25th June 2009, the Australian government made an additional $220 million available to boost the Regional and Local community Infrastructure Program (RLCIP - Round 2). This investment was aimed at supporting local jobs during the global economic recession and provide long term benefits to communities by assisting Council's to build and modernise local infrastructure. Under the RLCIP there are two funding components. The first is a non-competitive direct allocation of $100 million shared amongst all local governments. Mackay Regional Council's allocation is $434,000. The second component is where $120 million was made available for a limited number of large strategic projects seeking a minimum Commonwealth contribution of $1 million. With regard to the competitive project component, Council submitted a proposal for a major stage of works associated with the Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens. This application was unsuccessful. Council's application associated with the non-competitive component for the amount of $434,000 including $150,000 for bus shelter improvements and $284,000 for a continuation of the successful playground shade program was approved. Projects must be completed and all funding expended by 31 December 2010. Works are progressing in terms of bus shelter improvements. In order to undertake the further provision of shade facilities to Council's parks and playground, tenders were sent. Accordingly tenders were invited on the 26th June 2010, via Council's website and advertised locally in the Daily Mercury, requesting submissions from companies suitably experienced and resourced for the provision of shade structures at a number of playgrounds across the region. The following submissions were received - Major Sheds & Tanks Shadeplan Pty Ltd Sunstate Design Meyers Home Improvements Shade'n Net Greenline Shade Patio World Spantech Pty Ltd Scully & Associates Play Poles Pty Ltd Landmark Products Rock Solid Engineering Abonda Pty Ltd Woollam Constructions Steel Post & Rail Pty Ltd An initial compliance check was conducted by the Evaluation Panel on the 10th August 2010 to identify submissions that were non-conforming with the immediate requirements of the request

FINAL MINUTES 22 SEPTEMBER 2010

for tender (RFT). This included compliance with contractual requirements and provision of requested information. On the basis of the criteria assessment, Tender Information Requests (TIR) were sent out to all tender respondents. Woollams Construction requested that Council remove their submission for this tender. Steel Post & Rail, Meyers Home Improvements, Major Sheds & Tanks and Shadeplan Pty Ltd submissions were deemed non-conforming. All other submissions progressed through to the qualitative criteria assessment on the basis that all terms and conditions and mandatory requirements of the RFT had been met. The design of the shelters as submitted from Sunstate Design were deemed not to meet Council’s requirements. During the evaluation the tenderers were assessed against the nominated qualitative criteria. The weighting attributed to each qualitative criteria was: Relevant experience in performing works of similar projects 25% Key personnel skills and experience 25% Tenderers’ resources available to complete the works 20% Demonstrated understanding or methodology proposed 20% Local Content 10%

The tendered Lump Sum Fixed Prices are listed below

Sunstate Design $ 184,373.44 Shade’n Net $ 228,240.00 Greenline Shade $ 234,900.00 Patio World $ 258,164.00 Spantech Pty Ltd $ 308,263.00 Scully & Associates $ 309,400.00 Play Poles Pty Ltd $ 392,360.00 Landmark Products $ 432,860.00 Rock Solid Engineering $ 676,405.75 Abonda Pty Ltd $ 1,031,404.39

At the end of the assessment process, the assessment team ranked Shade’n Net as the preferred tenderer.

Consultation and Communication

The evaluation of the tenders was conducted by: Parks Building Services Co-ordinator – Parks & Environment Parks Building Services Team Leader – Parks & Environment Contracts Officer – Procurement & Plant

FINAL MINUTES 22 SEPTEMBER 2010

MIN/22.09.2010 FOLIO 12594

Resource Implications/Risk Management

During the assessment stage the shade structure at one of the parks was placed on hold and it may or may not be included at a later date with a revised completion date. Shade'n Net have subsequently confirmed their price for 5 only shelters as being $194,270.00. These works comply with the proposal of works Council nominated to successfully obtain the current Federal Government RLCIP grant. The works will be fully funded from the grant funds. The list of parks where the shade structures will be placed are: Eton Reserve North Eton Swan Street Park Griffin Street Park Busuttin Drive Park Additional funding has also been expended on Apex Park access in Sarina, Northview Park fencing and James Muscat Park picnic shelter in Walkerston to compliment the shade facilities previously installed.

Conclusion

Awarding the contract to Shade'n Net represents the most advantageous outcome to Mackay Regional Council based on the ability to perform the works requested and demonstrated value for money to Mackay Regional Council.

Officer Recommendation

THAT the fixed price tender submitted by Shade'n Net of $194,270.00 (excluding GST) be accepted for the provision of MRC 2010-073 Installation of Solid Roofed Shade Structures.
