ETHICAL DECISION MAKING AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
A GUIDING CHECKLIST FOR COUNCILLORS, OFFICERS AND COMMUNITY COMMITTEES
Ethical decision making
Is the decision or conduct legal?
Is it consistent with Government policy, Council’s objectives and Code of Conduct?
What will the outcome be for you, your colleagues, the Council, anyone else?
Does it raise a conflict of interest?
Do you stand to gain personally at public expense?
Can the decision be justified in terms of public interest?
Would it withstand public scrutiny?
Conflict of interest
A conflict of interest is a clash between private interest and public duty. There are two types of conflict:
Pecuniary – regulated by the Local Government Act and Department of Local Government
Non-pecuniary – regulated by Codes of Conduct and policy. ICAC, Ombudsman, Department of Local Government (advice only). If declaring a Non-Pecuniary Conflict of Interest, Councillors can choose to either disclose and vote, disclose and not vote or leave the Chamber.
The test for conflict of interest
Is it likely I could be influenced by personal interest in carrying out my public duty?
Would a fair and reasonable person believe I could be so influenced?
Conflict of interest is closely tied to the layperson’s definition of ‘corruption’ – using public office for private gain.
Important to consider public perceptions of whether you have a conflict of interest.
Identifying problems
1st Do I have private interests affected by a matter I am officially involved in?
2nd Is my official role one of influence or perceived influence over the matter?
3rd Do my private interests conflict with my official role?
Whilst seeking advice is generally useful, the ultimate decision rests with the person concerned.
Agency advice
Officers of the following agencies are available during office hours to discuss the obligations placed on Councillors, officers and community committee members by various pieces of legislation, regulation and codes.

9.1. New Years Eve 2013 - celebrations and fireworks Merimbula
A request has been received from Merimbula Chamber of Commerce for funds towards the New Year’s Eve Fireworks display for 2013/2014
General Manager
Background
Council has provided financial support to the Merimbula Chamber of Commerce for a New Year’s Eve event since 2007.
Council resolved include the following allocation in the 2012/13 budget
$10,000 for the New Years Eve fireworks in Merimbula with a further $5,000 should bands and family entertainment be provided.
No specific amount has been included in the 2013/14 budget
ISSUES
Social / Cultural
The NSW Police Local Area Command have previously supported and preferred the conduct of a single site New Year’s Eve Event in Merimbula to assist crowd control and associated clean up.
For New Year’s Eve 2013, the Merimbula Chamber of Commerce plan to host a family concert and fireworks at Ford Oval, Merimbula. The location and plans for the event are in line with the NSW Police LAC preferences.
The group anticipates it will cost approximately $32,000 to run the event and will raise funding through sponsorship and donations. They have requested a donation from Bega Valley Shire Council of $15,000 towards this event.
Financial
Council has a budget of $36,430 for donations approved by Council. Governance and Executive: Operating Costs Donations. In 2012/13 $51,193.56 was expended from this allocation including $15,000 to the Merimbula Chamber of Commerce for the New Year’s Eve celebrations. The overall budget for donations including works in kind, donations approved by the General Manager (less than $2,000), refunds of fees, and civic functions was $222,630.00 of which $164,546.98 was expended.
Resources (including staff)
Council provides “in kind” support by providing extra waste services and staff to clean up after the event. It is understood SES volunteers assist with traffic control.
Conclusion
Merimbula has been seen as the Shire’s main New Year’s Eve event with minor events in other towns. NSW Police and other bodies have supported the Merimbula focus for New Year’s Eve activities.

11.1. Tender RFT 27/13 Design and Construct Bega SES Headquarters
This report details the outcome of evaluation of Tender RFT 27/13 for the design and construction of the Bega SES Headquarters and recommends award to the preferred tender.
Group Manager Infrastructure, Waste & Water
Background
The current State Emergency Service (SES) Headquarters at 14-22 Minyama Parade, Beda is a small demountable building attached to the Council offices, known as the “Telstra Building”. The premises have long been inadequate, with the building being too small, offering no amenities and in need of significant refurbishment. As part of the renewal program for Council’s Bega Depot, the SES building will be upgraded and relocated near the Princes Highway entrance of Lot 1 DP 570108.
Council sought requests for tender from suitably qualified contractors to design and construct the Bega SES Headquarters at 14-22 Minyama Parade, Bega.
The request for tender was advertised in local media from 26 June 2013 and closed on 17 July 2013. The documents were issued to 17 contractors, with 4 submissions received from:
· Grant Dowdle Building Pty Ltd
· RJ & JA Grant Pty Ltd
· David Leser Building Pty Ltd
· Castlereagh Construction Group Pty Ltd
Applicants were asked to provide:
· Lump sum price breakdown of the works;
· Schedule of rates;
· Schedule of machinery, plant and equipment required to carry out works;
· Program of works;
· Experience of related works;
· References;
· Consultants, subcontractors and suppliers to be used through the duration of the works;
· Schedule of Work Health and Safety; and
· Information of the current workload of the contractor.
The tender submissions were assessed against the following evaluation criteria:

ISSUES
Legal
Construction of the Bega SES Headquarters is permitted without Development Consent under Section 48(1) of the State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) 2007.
The tender process complied with the Local Government Act 1993.
Environmental
A Review of Environmental Factors was completed to assess any environmental impacts likely to be associated with construction of the Bega SES Headquarters site.
Asset
The site for Bega SES Headquarters is located at 14-22 Minyama Parade, Bega being Lot 1 DP 570108 and is Council owned land. The site has access to both Minyama Parade and the Princes Highway.
Consultation
Council has consulted with the SES to achieve a building which meets their operational needs and is within the financial capabilities of Council.
Council has also consulted the owners of the neighbouring property. The property owners raised several concerns with the proposed building. Council acknowledged the concerns and requested and provided further information to ensure that all requirements were in accordance with Development Legislation. It was determined that Council met all development requirements and to proceed with the tender.
Financial
Council’s budget estimate for the Bega Deport renewal is $1.5 million and the relocation of the SES Headquarters is part of this work. The SES have provided a $100,000 contribution towards the building works.
Resources (including staff)
A Cadet Engineer supervised by a Project Engineer will manage the Bega SES Headquarters construction.
Conclusion
The Bega SES Headquarters provides an improved facility to encourage more volunteers to join the organisation. Improvements shall include upgraded training area, meeting room, storage and communication centre. This facility will allow the volunteers to work more effectively and efficiently in emergency circumstances.
Further, the relocation of the SES building will allow renewal plans for the Bega Depot to proceed and offers better access to the Princes Highway.

11.2. Engagement of NSW Public Works for Tendering and Construction Management of Effluent Disinfection Systems at Tura and Eden Sewage Treatment Plants
This report details the scope of work required to manage the tendering, contract administration, construction and commissioning of disinfection facilities at Eden and Tura Beach Sewage Treatment Plants. The report recommends acceptance of a proposal from NSW Public Works for these works.
Group Manager Infrastructure, Waste & Water
Background
Bega Valley Shire Council is required by NSW EPA to install disinfection systems for treated effluent at Eden and Tura Beach Sewage Treatment Plants by April 2014.
A proposal for the tendering and construction management was requested from NSW Public Works, with a view to prompt appointment in order to meet the tight construction timeframes involved.
A single invited quotation for the work is considered appropriate, as NSW Public Works have been involved in the design of the disinfection upgrades to date. Additionally, they have the specialised knowledge of treatment plant operations, procurement and construction. Council engaged NSW Public Works to carry out similar work on the Bega to Yellow Pinch Dam pipeline project. The standard of project management associated with the pipeline project was excellent.
Appointment of NSW Public Works under a single invited quotation is allowable under Section 55(3)(b) of the Local Government Act 1993.
This report seeks ratification of the appointment of NSW Public Works to provide contract preparation and administration, as well as project management of the tendering, construction and commissioning of the disinfection systems for each plant under a formal contract agreement.
ISSUES
Legal
Appointment of NSW Public Works under a single invited quotation is permitted under Section 55(3)(b) of the Local Government Act 1993 which is provided as an attachment to this report.
Council remains the Principal under all contracts administered by NSW Public Works.
Engagement of NSW Public Works will facilitate completion of the capital works and hence compliance with the Pollution Reduction Program (PRP) provisions of the NSW EPA Licences for Eden and Tura treatment plants.
Environmental
An REF has been completed for the proposed works, which will be undertaken in accordance with Part 5 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and associated Regulations.
The project has positive environmental and human health outcomes. Once completed, the capital works will provide for an enhanced quality of disinfected effluent to golf courses and also to the balance of effluent discharged to ocean and existing dune exfiltration systems.
The proposed engagement includes monitoring the performance of the construction contractor to ensure that Council is managing its responsibilities under the approval conditions.
Sustainability
The engagement of NSW Public Works will support the ecological sustainability aims associated with the Tura Beach and Eden reuse systems.
Asset
The disinfection systems include both chlorination and U.V. equipment, as well as dedicated effluent reuse storage tanks to maximise the availability of treated effluent for reuse on nearby golf courses.
The engagement of NSW Public Works will enable the new assets to be constructed in accordance with the Asset Management Plan goals.
Strategic
The NSW Public Works engagement will support the strategic capital works goals detailed in the Sewerage Asset Management Plan.
Financial
Tendering, construction and commissioning costs are fully covered within the adopted Long Term Financial Plan and associated current budget.
The quoted cost for the documentation and tendering is $38,045 excluding GST, being approximately 1% of the pre-tender estimate, well within typical industry standards of 1%-2%.
The quoted costs for the construction management is $253,023 excluding GST, being approximately 7% of the pre-tender estimate, well within the industry standards of 6%-9% for works of this nature
The quoted costs for commissioning of the works are $39,800 excluding GST, being approximately 1% of the pre-tender estimate, well within typical industry standards of 1%-3%.
The estimated cost for any work in the post completion period, if required, is $6,000. As the works are proposed under a time and resource based fee, Council will retain any cost savings if there are no post completion issues.
The total quoted costs for the works is $336,868 excluding GST plus disbursements of $42,000 giving a total of $378,868.
For previous engagements, the rates and times provided by NSW Public Works had been examined by an independent expert, who had found that the fees from NSW Public Works would appear to be reasonable given:
· the complexity of the project to be managed;
· the relative importance of time, quality and cost;
· the form and type of contract(s) to be managed;
· the specific tasks required to be undertaken by the project manager on behalf the Principal; and
· the geographic location of the project site, compared with the usual place of work for the project management team.
The fees proposed for these works have similar proportions and thus engaging an independent reviewer is not considered necessary, particularly given the excellent performance of NSW Public Works in delivering the recent Bega to Yellow Pinch Dam project.
The cost of the NSW Public Works engagement is allowed for in the 2013/14 Capital Works Budget. The project will be delivered in accordance with the Long Term Financial Plan.
Resources (including staff)
Substantial staff and design resources have been devoted to the disinfection project. The NSW Public Works engagement will support procurement and construction activities associated with delivery of the new infrastructure.
Operational Plan
The NSW Public Works engagement will support Operational Plan objectives.
Conclusion
Engagement of NSW Public works is required to support delivery of the capital works, in accordance with the adopted Asset Management Plan and its associated Capital Works Plan. The fees for the engagement are considered value for money, being well within the industry standards, as a percentage of capital works project delivery costs.

12.1. Certificate of Investments made under Section 625 of the Local Government Act 1993
To report the details of Council’s investments during the month of July 2013.
Finance Manager
Background
Under the legislation and regulations mentioned below, the Responsible Accounting Officer must present to Council on a monthly basis the status of the investments held by Council. The Responsible Accounting Officer must detail the investments held, and their compliance with both internal policy and external regulation under the Ministerial Order of Investments.
In accordance with the recommendations made by the Division of Local Government Investment Policy Guidelines, published in May 2010 the Finance section has made the monthly Investments report an attachment to the Business Paper. This allows a stand-alone report to be published on Council’s website for the public to view without having to peruse the Council’s Agenda for the relevant meeting.
ISSUES
Legal
Section 625 of the Local Government Act 1993 determines that money may only be invested in a form of investment authorised by order of the Minister for Local Government published in the Local Government Gazette. The most recent Ministerial Order of Investment was published February 17, 2011.
Clause 212 of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005 determines that the Responsible Accounting Officer must provide Council with a written report setting out details of all money that Council has invested under section 625 of the Local Government Act 1993.
The report must also include a certificate as to whether or not the investments have been made in accordance with the Local Government Act 1993, the regulations and the Council’s investment policy.
Policy
Council holds an Investment Policy published under policy number 1.3.2. This policy is reviewed annually, and was reconsidered on 9 October 2012.
Council’s current policy allows for investment of funds in cash term deposits only with rated Authorised Deposit-Taking Institutions (ADI’s). Council does not hold any investments in sub-prime or managed fund products. At this time, Council holds no long term deposits nor any deposits introduced through an agent.
Financial
The attached report indicates a current investment portfolio of $51,000,100. These funds can be broken into the following Funds:
|
Funding source |
May 2013 |
June 2013 |
July 2013 |
|
General Fund |

$5,844,348 |
$5,844,348 |
In addition there is $1,975,445 in uninvested funds in Councils operating account.
8 Each fund’s allocation can only be utilised on its specific operations. For example, Water Fund cannot use its financial resources on General Fund projects, etc.
8 Externally Restricted is defined by purposes that are “restricted” by external legislation or regulations, such as unspent grants or loans tied to a specific project, or development contributions held for expenditure in accord with an adopted s94/s64 contributions plan.
8 Internally Restricted is defined by “restrictions” placed upon the use of these funds by Council internally, such as asset replacement, weeds, property, employee entitlements and the like.
8 Unrestricted funds are available for day
to day operational uses, or emergencies. Those funds are reviewed daily for
short term investment, depending on revenue cycles such as rates instalments.

16.1. Cr Tony Allen - Cobargo Toilets
Background
As Councillors would be aware, based to the response to the QON from the G IWW Cobargo Toilet refurbishment awaits Council’s decision, pending the completion of sale 50 Princes Highway, Cobargo.
The sale of that land settled on 8 August 2013. While the sale for this land included the construction of a public use toilet, the timing of that construction is not clear. The location of that toilet, and its proximity to the immediate CBD area of Cobargo is not considered by me to be ideal.
Given the timing and locations concerns I recommend that the existing Cobargo toilets remain in place, are refurbished and upgraded to include a disabled facility.
I understand the estimated cost for this work is in the order of $80,000.
