(5) A council must comply with this section when proposing to adopt a policy each year in accordance with section 252 (1) even if the council proposes to adopt a policy that is the same as its existing policy. 254 Decision to be made in open meeting The council or a council committee all the members of which are councillors must not close to the public that part of its meeting at which a policy for the payment of expenses or provision of facilities is adopted or amended, or at which any proposal concerning those matters is discussed or considered. 428(pt) Annual reports (1) Within 5 months after the end of each year, a council must prepare a report as to its achievements with respect to the objectives and performance targets set out in its management plan for that year. (2) A report must contain the following: (f) the total amount of money expended during the year on mayoral fees and councillor fees, the council’s policy on the provision of facilities for use by councillors and the payment of councillors’ expenses, together with a statement of the total amount of money expended during that year on the provision of such facilities and the payment of such expenses, Local Government (General) Regulation 217(pt) Additional information for inclusion in annual reports (1) For the purposes of section 428(2)(r) of the Act, an annual report of a council is to include the following information: (a) details (including the purpose) of overseas visits undertaken during the year by councillors, council staff or other persons representing the council (including visits sponsored by other organisations), 6
403 Payment of expenses and provision of facilities A policy under section 252 of the Act must not include any provision enabling a council: (a) to pay any councillor an allowance in the nature of a general expense allowance, or (b) to make a motor vehicle owned or leased by the council available for the exclusive or primary use or disposition of a particular councillor other than a mayor. Also, under Section 248A of the Act Council must not, unless otherwise permitted, pay an annual fee to a Councillor for any period during which the Councillor is suspended from civic office or the right to be paid any fee is suspended. Under Section 254A of the Act Council may resolve that an annual fee not be paid to a Councillor or the amount reduced if the Councillor is absent, with or without leave, from meetings of the Council for a period not more than 3 months or in any circumstances prescribed by regulation. A fee must not be paid if the period of absence exceeds 3 months. Under clause 404 of the Regulation a prescribed circumstance for nonpayment or reduction of a Councillor’s annual fee is where payment would adversely affect the Councillor’s entitlement to a pension, benefit or allowance and the Councillor is agreeable to the non-payment or reduction. A Councillor may elect not to accept any entitlement under this Policy, except that the Mayor and every Councillor must be paid the appropriate minimum fees determined by the Local Government Remuneration Tribunal (unless the provisions of Section 254A of the Act apply). Payment of the appropriate minimum fees determined by the Remuneration Tribunal is a requirement of Sections 248 (4) and 249 (4) of the Act. Other Government Policy Provisions 1.7 This Policy has been prepared with reference to other Government and Council Policy provisions as follows: • Department of Local Government Circular No. 06-57, 5 September 2006, Guidelines for the Payment of Expenses and Provision of Facilities to the Mayor and Councillors • Department of Local Government Circular No. 05/08, 9 March 2005 Legal Assistance for Councillors and Council Employees • ICAC Publication No Excuse for Misuse, November 2002 • Ku-ring-gai Council Code of Conduct. 7
