CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 12.0 BUILDING REPORT 12.1 STAFF HOUSING ST 102 Author Chief Executive Officer Disclosure of Any Interest Nil. Background Below is a memorandum Phil Anning forwarded to Council re Staff Housing. As Council is aware we have made a substantial step towards the provision of staff housing by the letting of contracts for two staff houses expected to be for the Manager Regulatory Services and Finance and Administration Manager.
ORDINARY COUNCIL MINUTES - 28 MARCH 2001 Page 21 Council needs to adopt a plan re housing and provision of housing and, in my opinion, housing should be only provided in those areas where staff are required to have certain qualifications and expertise that would not be available from the local workforce. In our case I suggest - ie Chief Executive Officer Finance and Administration Manager Manager Regulatory Services Accountant and perhaps in the future Works Supervisor When the houses currently being built are completed we will have housing for the Chief Executive Officer and the two senior Managers. We also utilise the small transportable out the rear of the office for the Accountant, though I have suggested that this be converted to use as an office later in the year as it is in poor state and we maintain the lease on the property in Fry court in the short to medium term. Also at the interview with Mark Hook it was suggested, due to his family size, that the current Chief Executive Officer's residence, which is only 3 bedroom 2 bath, could be extended to add an extra bedroom. I believe this could be easily achieved by extending rearwards using the existing building line (see attached). Therefore our longer term needs are for one additional house and renovating the Chief Executive Officer's residence in Knight Terrace. One other scenario that may be worthy of consideration is selling the waterfront property in Knight Terrace and rebuilding in another less expensive area. The house in Knight Terrace is in need of some repair and as mentioned possibly renovation, and because of the location it would command a good price as is, which would provide for block purchase and building in a less expensive area. Having lived in that house for two years I have thoroughly appreciated the location at times, but on the downside the salt spray is a problem and when the winds are blowing it is very exposed. It is also in danger of flooding in event of storm surge. Both Coral and I would personally prefer to be a little further back from the waterfront despite the advantages. If we consider that any renovations would probably cost $50,000 and we could sell for $200,000 plus, I would expect then the purchase of a block in a suitable area could probably be made for less than $40,000 and a new four bedroom 2 bath house could be built on current prices for around $160,000, it provides a very viable option for Council consideration. In respect to a residence for the Accountant, I believe that Council should consider putting monies aside for a purchase of a suitable block in the coming financial year with a view to building a further residence in 2002/2003. The option of selling the current Chief Executive Officer's residence and building would hopefully be self supporting and could be carried out at any time. The option of renovating would need capital input. The ideas are put forward for Council consideration and may not necessarily be supported by my successor. A decision by Council will assist the budget process. Comment It is very hard for me to comment on this issue at this stage. Council is the best avenue with the local knowledge to decide whether it would be better to extend the Chief Executive Officer's residence or to build in a different location.
