Schedule 2 – Proposed Revised Terms of Reference presented to Council on 22 October 2015. At its meeting held on 4 June 2013, Council adopted a revised Committees of Council structure, establishing the resulting Committees and adopting the terms of reference for each Committee. Following the 2015 Local Government Elections, at its special meeting held on 22 October 2015, Council resolved to refer the Terms of Reference to each of the relevant Committees for review. The current Terms of Reference for Finance and Administration Committee are attached as Page 3 of Schedule 1 for review. It is noted that any amendments proposed will require the endorsement of Council. The Delegations to Committees are currently included in the body of the Terms of Reference. It is proposed to amend the Terms of Reference so that the delegation by Council is annotated and can be more easily varied by Council from time to time. LEGISLATION / STRATEGIC PLAN / POLICY: Legislation Section 5.8 of the Local Government Act 1995 Integrated Planning Corporate Business Plan and Reporting Council Four Year Priorities: Capable and Responsive Framework Organisation Implications A capable, flexible and sustainable organisation with a strong and effective governance system to provide leadership as a capital city and provide efficient and effective community centred services. DETAILS: The Finance and Administration Committee were required to cancel one meeting in 2015 due to the Council Elections and have held one special meeting on 29 October 2015 in addition to the ordinary cycle. I:\CPS\ADMIN SERVICES\COMMITTEES\4. FINANCE AND ADMIN\FA151117 MINUTES SHELLS.DOCX FINANCE AND BUDGET - 4 - 17 NOVEMBER 2015 COMMITTEE The Finance and Administration Committee considered 134 items from January to December 2014 and at present have considered 114 items since January 2015. It is identified from these statistics that the Finance and Administration Committee considers the highest amount of reports than any other committee of Council. It is noted that the Finance and Administrative Committee has enhanced its scope since taking on board the duties of the then General Purposes (GP) Committee in June 2013, being the last time the Committees Terms of Reference was reviewed. It had been identified that a number of items previously considered by the GP Committee had been dealt with administratively or through Council Policy where possible. This now permits the Finance and Administration Committee to consider significant items that fall within the scope of its Terms of Reference. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications related to this report. COMMENTS: An amendment to the Finance and Administration Committee Terms of Reference is also proposed arising from a number of occasions whereby other Committee meetings have had to be cancelled due to Committee Member and Deputy unavailability through their other commitments on behalf of the City of Perth. Whilst the majority of matters considered by a Committee can be deferred to the next scheduled meeting, there are occasions where urgent operational matters are required to be resolved. The Finance and Administration Committee has the broadest Terms of Reference scope of all the City’s standing committees. Whilst the use of Deputies will continue to be the first option to ensure that a Committee meeting can proceed, it is proposed to amend the Finance and Administration Committee’s Terms of Reference to ensure that, where necessary, for urgent operational matters they can be dealt with by the Finance and Administration Committee. The effect of the proposed amendment is that matters under the scope of Terms of Reference for other Committees would only be referred to the Finance and Administration Committee if a delay in the decision making will negatively impact on operational outcomes. OFFICER RECOMMENDATION That the Finance and Administration Committee: 1. considers the revised Terms of Reference for the Finance and Administration Committee, as detailed in Schedule 2; 2. notes that any amendments will require the consideration and endorsement of Council. I:\CPS\ADMIN SERVICES\COMMITTEES\4. FINANCE AND ADMIN\FA151117 MINUTES SHELLS.DOCX FINANCE AND BUDGET - 5 - 17 NOVEMBER 2015 COMMITTEE Moved by Cr Harley, seconded by Cr Chen 1. That 1(i) of the Finance and Administration Committee Terms of Reference be amended to read as follows: “(i) any other matters requiring a decision of the Council and not specifically defined in the Terms of Reference for any other Committee of the Council or where the substantive Committee is unable to be convent and a decision is necessary to fulfil operational requirements.” 2. That Council notes the transfer of the Delegated Authority from the Terms of Reference being placed as a footnote. The motion was put and carried The votes were recorded as follows: For: Crs Davidson, Chen and Harley Against: Nil FA218/15 PAYMENTS FROM MUNICIPAL AND TRUST FUNDS – SEPTEMBER 2015 BACKGROUND: FILE REFERENCE: P1031101-19 REPORTING UNIT: Finance RESPONSIBLE DIRECTORATE: Corporate Services DATE: 2 October 2015 MAP / SCHEDULE: TRIM ref. 173105/15 LEGISLATION / STRATEGIC PLAN / POLICY: Legislation Regulation 13(1) of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 Integrated Planning Strategic Community Plan and Reporting Council Four Year Priorities: Community Outcome Framework Capable and Responsive Organisation Implications A capable, flexible and sustainable organisation with a strong and effective governance system to provide leadership as a capital city and deliver efficient and effective community
