Moved .lan Vidlor - Seconded Ann Gibbs-Jordan . .. - ' Qoaimitta .Re.umit . Since I hastily wrote my comments last month I have been doin some more research and more thinking. I have concluded that it is not practical to formally include desirable contingencies in the formula as it woul.d require an elahcrate,ly programmed computer to set the rate. My considered opinion is that. the fairest overall method would be simply x cents/km/passenger with aajustments for car snuffles etc. etc • I have nat recommended this for two reasons - widespreid .opposit-. ion from my sounding boards.v, and stories of possible increased legal complications due to various laws designed to protent. thn nil. e.nmpani.es June IT Page 3 and other such'battlers, I thus ended up back at the 1974 report (Nov. 1974 IT) 9 perhaps by a similar path to the one Tollowed by that committee. Using the same formulae that is did (charge running costs and one quarter'of depreciation bft.standing costs - registration insurande etc.), I arrived at the teult recommended in the moticn. This cross-checked with the report's alternative method - increase transport costs proportionally to petrol cost increases ( it assumed 65c/gal, I have assumed I8.6c/litre: see me if you want the break- down by the full method)0 Under the proposed rates rouiiding off has made it cheaper to take large cars (2.25c/km/passenger compared with 2.33c/km/passenger. This seems acceptable in the interests of simplicity. Leaders are reminded that- (a) They should include an estimate of transport costs on the bookins sheet. (b: The drivers are INCLUDED when viorking out the costs per person, and costs are averaged over the whole party Leaders should modify thetndard ratei1whei appropriate, for example (i) Increase the rate if subs- tantial travel on rough roads is involved0 (ii) decrease the rate for long distances on good reads, (iii) Adjust the rate for vehicles carrying an abnormally large or small number of people. (iv) Adjust the rate for cars, taking part in car shuffles etc. (v) Increase the rate for very short trips to allow for distance travelled in picking up passengers. (vi) "fair go" adjustments by mutual consent, such as calling a marginal' large' car Ath only 3 occupants' a' '2 mall' car', or a marginal 'small ' car with 4 occupants a'la±'ge' car. (vii) Any other adjustment to .achievo and equitable rate. (viii) Adjustment to simplify settlent (eg. round to nearest). NOTE THE PROPOSED RATES ARE ROUNDED DO'LTh.TL\.RDS - I RECO MMEND MIOTHER REVIEW WITHIN 12 MONTHS Alan Vidler 525231 (w) TCE OP MOTION - Club organised trips avoid camping in Monolith Valley in the Budawangs. Moved: Gary Medaris Seconded: Terry Jordan Due to the scenic beatty of the area many walkers on both club trips and privat trips have camped in Monolith Valley, This has caused an overuse of the area to the extent that:- -- wood for fires is almost non-existent. -- urhen like suburbs appear on some weekends. -- water in one of the main creeks is 'suspect' and has caused some people to be ill, -- thç.,track from Yadboro to the Valley is in an appalling state. If the jotion is passed I will be urging the Conservation Sub-Committee to follow the matter through by Publicity - to other clubs Contacting park authorities to find out possibilities of controll- ing the numbers of walkers entering the valley area and upgrading the Kaliana Ridge track.
