New Agenda Template 144 ORDINARY MEETING 9 26 SEPTEMBER 2018 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STRATEGIC MONTHLY REPORT John Andrejic | 1/3/37 | #4439510v47 RECOMMENDATION: 1. That Council notes the report. 2. That delegated authority be given to the CEO to approve applications for incoming minor grant rounds capped at $50K per application with subsequent reporting to Council of the application details and results. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The report for this period continues to highlight that Council has performed very well and reflects a commitment from the executive and the staff to deliver on the range of matters outlined in Council’s Corporate Plan and the 2018/19 Budget. REPORT 1CURRENT SIGNIFICANT ISSUES EBA The Single Bargaining Unit (SBU) comprising of management and nine unions have been negotiating in good faith since 13 June 2017. Despite the willingness of all parties to negotiate a new certified agreement, Management and the Unions are yet to reach position whereby an offer (in the form of a new agreement) can go to the staff for a vote. Council has made six (6) wage offers to the SBU. Unions have rejected all offers presented on behalf of their members. Given the refusal of Unions to allow any of Council’s six offers to proceed to a vote of employees, Council resolved on 24 April 2018 to: x Provide employees with an administrative pay increase (to base rates) of 2.25% back paid to 1 July 2017 – this change to base rates and back payment has been paid; and x Provide employees with an administrative pay increase (to base rates) of 2.0% or CPI, whichever is the highest from 1 July 2018 – base rates will change by 2.0% effective 1 July 2018 given CPI was 1.7%. Agenda – Ordinary Meeting 26 September 2018 #5865383 145 To date, unions have taken industrial action on 19th April 2018 and again during the period of 10th and 13th of August 2018. Following the SBU meeting on the 30 August 2018, an application for a scope order with the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission has now been made by 7 of the 9 Unions. The purpose of that application is to break up the currently proposed single agreement into two separate agreements. The Order seeks to separate those employees covered by Stream B and C of the Local Government Industry Award – State 2017, predominately the outdoor workforce. Management is unable to commit to future meetings due to the uncertainty now existing as to the nature and structure of the agreement(s) being negotiated. Council will oppose the making of such an order, however if it is made, the currently proposed single agreement will cease to exist in that form, and there is therefore little purpose in continuing to negotiate as to its terms. Accordingly, until further notice, no future meeting dates will be set. 2. MAJOR KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FINANCE Council’s operating position at month end is a $4.1M surplus, $3.4M favourable to Council’s 2018/19 Budget. This favourable variance is driven mostly by less than anticipated materials and services ($2.5M), employee benefits ($464K), as well as greater than anticipated fees and charges ($372K) and miscellaneous revenue ($283K). This is offset by less than anticipated rates and utility charges revenue ($64K) and grant, subsidies and contributions ($58K) year to date. EMPLOYEES Council’s employee number as at 12 September 2018 was 1,222, of which 1,007 are full-time permanent. Turnover rate is currently tracking at 9.56%, which is slightly below the KPI of 10% (this figure is based on full time permanent/part time permanent staff and does not include casual, temporary or agency staff). Council’s Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIFR) of 13.28 is lower than the three-year average of 21.36 The Lost Time Injury Duration Rate (LTIDR) of 20.50 is lower than the three-year average of 36.25 Councils Days Lost due to injury for the financial year to 1 September 2018 of 102 days is lower than the three-year average of 250 days. Agenda – Ordinary Meeting 26 September 2018 #5865383 146 CAPITAL The 2018/19 Capital Works Summary report is tabled on a monthly basis. Each department and the relevant committee would have discussed and reviewed this at the relevant workshop. As at the end of August 2018, Council has spent approximately 14.67% of the capital budget with expenditure totalling $24.3M.

RISK AND COMPLIANCE UPDATE Update on Risk and Compliance Management Council’s Risk Management Framework was reported through the Audit Committee held on the 31 July 2018. A full review of all risks and their associated treatment plans has been undertaken. The Corporate Risk Register has been updated. 4. GRANT FUNDING Minor Grants From time to time the opportunity arises to apply for small grants with relatively short application periods. It is proposed to give delegated authority to the CEO to approve minor grant applications up to an individual limit of $50K. A rolling register of applications approved under this delegation will be capture in the CEO’s subsequent monthly report. Recent examples include the State Library of Queensland Tech Savvy Seniors program for 2018/19 which opened on the 20 August and closed on the 14 September and is capped at $15K. To ensure that Council could assess this funding an application has already been submitted. Similarly, the Disability Access funding for 2018/19 has recently opened. Whilst initial consideration was given to a lesser cap, in order to efficiently handle funding sources like the gambling benefit fund a cap of $50K is recommended. Agenda – Ordinary Meeting 26 September 2018 #5865383 147 This is capped at $50K per application and officers are investigating portable beach matting to complement the recent works at Yorkeys Knob as one of the first applications for 18/19 funding pool. All applications would need to be within approved budget and resourcing.

  • Seasonal Climate Summary for the Southern Hemisphere (Autumn 2018): a Weak La Nin˜A Fades, the Austral Autumn Remains Warmer and Drier
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science, 2020, 70, 328–352 Seasonal Climate Summary https://doi.org/10.1071/ES19039 Seasonal climate summary for the southern hemisphere (autumn 2018): a weak La Nin˜a fades, the austral autumn remains warmer and drier Bernard ChapmanA,B and Katie RosemondA,B ABureau of Meteorology, GPO Box 413, Brisbane, Qld 4001, Australia. BCorresponding authors. Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. This is a summary of the austral autumn 2018 atmospheric circulation patterns and meteorological indices for the southern hemisphere, including an exploration of the season’s rainfall and temperature for the Australian region. The weak La Nin˜a event during summer 2017–18 was in retreat as the southern hemisphere welcomed the austral autumn, and before midseason, it had faded. With the El Nin˜o Southern Oscillation and the Indian Ocean Dipole in neutral phases, their influence on the climate was weakened. Warmer than average sea surface temperatures dominated much of the subtropical South Pacific Ocean and provided favourable conditions for the formation of a rare subtropical cyclone over the southeast Pacific Ocean in May. The southern hemisphere sea ice extent was slightly below the autumn seasonal average. The southern hemisphere overall during autumn was drier and warmer than the seasonal average. The season brought warmer than average temperatures and average rains to parts of the continents of Africa and South America. Australia recorded its fourth-warmest autumn, partly due to an intense, extensive and persistent heatwave, which occurred during the midseason. An extraordinary and record-breaking rainfall event occurred over Tasmania’s southeast, under the influence of a negative Southern Annular Mode.

  • Local Disaster Management Plan
    Local Disaster Management Plan 2021 - 2022 Prepared under the provisions of the Disaster Management Act 2003, ss. 57 & 58 Kowanyama Local Disaster Management Plan Foreword The focus of the document is on using an ‘all-hazards’ functional approach, minimising impacts on disaster-affected communities, by ensuring a coordinated effort by all levels of government and non- government entities with responsibilities or capabilities in comprehensive disaster management. This is a dynamic, risk-based document that will be kept up to date to match changes in legislation, or in the region’s risk profile, and to reflect learnings from disaster events here and elsewhere. As a community we are unable to prevent a disaster from happening, however, we are able to minimise the adverse effects a disaster has on a community (both economically and socially) through comprehensive planning and preparation and managing effective response and recovery. ____________________ Cr Robbie Sands Mayor Dated: 7 April 2021 2 Kowanyama Local Disaster Management Plan Endorsement The preparation of this Local Disaster Management Plan has been undertaken in accordance with the Disaster Management Act 2003 (the Act), to provide for effective disaster management in the local government area.

  • Flood Risk Discussion Paper Resource and Environment Working Group
    Flood Risk Discussion Paper Resource and Environment Working Group June 2019 Flood Risk An IAA Working Group Discussion Paper This discussion paper on Flood Risk (the paper) was prepared by the Resource and Environment Working Group (REWG) of the International Actuarial Association (IAA). The IAA is the worldwide association of professional actuarial associations, with several working groups and special interest sections for individual actuaries. The IAA exists to encourage the development of a global profession, acknowledged as technically competent and professionally reliable, which will ensure that the public interest is served. The role of the REWG is to identify issues related to global resources and the environment that are of interest to actuaries and to which the actuarial profession, at an international, national, or individual level, can make useful contributions in the public interest. The paper was prepared by a subgroup of the REWG consisting of Sam Gutterman, its leader, and Jacqueline Friedland, Stuart Mathewson, Rade Musulin, and Mike Smith. After careful review and constructive comment, the REWG and the Scientific Committee of the IAA approved the paper for publication. The views expressed in this paper do not represent those of the IAA, nor those of the entire REWG. They do not constitute an actuarial standard of practice.
