F	RESEARCH BACKGROUND SHOROC KIMBRIKI COMPANY PLAN

This is a summary of issues discussed on the possible reasons 
behind why "Inventing The Australian Model of Government" Seminars
were sponsored by Andersen Consulting in 1993.

This new Model of Government appears to be based on the use of Electronic 
Share trading and "Market Based Instruments [MBIs] for all natural 
Resources" ref Tender Dep Agriculture Tender 20 Jan 2006

(These concerns were not dispelled by the press article 23 Jan 2008 that
a former NSW Premier was appointed Director of a Company in 2006 
and subsequently sold the shares 12 months later for $ 16,000,000.)

There are concerns that many Local Government Councillors are aware
of the "Inventing the Australian Model of Government" policy with
the justification of Share Trading as a natural "entitlement" for 
Councillors.
eg proposed Kimbriki Council Company with 51% Shares controlled by 
the Administrator of Warringah Council.

SGG explained that between 1991-1993 he was involved with Paul 
JENKINS in trying to establish "Computer Camps for Disadvantaged
Children" at a number of UK Universities during the 10 wk UK Summer 
Holidays.

There are been a number of meetings with different Universities
including Liverpool University, Liverpool Polytechnic and the 
Liverpool Council Education Committee.

The Archbishop of Liverpool and the Bishop of Liverpool via Canon
David WOODHOUSE were both very supportive but several members of 
the Education Committee refused to meet to discuss the Computer
Camps and the Liverpool Council Education Policy.

Later that year 1992 Peter JONES [PJ] at the London School of
Economics and Political Science [LSE] explained the importance of  
Education Policy and how Share Trading and Share Capital was used 
to by-pass Financial Regulations

A	1533	Religion and Education Policy
B	1651	The First Commonwealth
C	1670	The East India Company
D	1688	The Glorious Revolution
E	1692	Subduing the Scots
F	1694	Scotland and the Darien Expedition
G	1707	Scotland and the Union of Parliaments
H	1720	South Sea Bubble Act 
I	1812	Saving the English Stockmarket from Bankruptcy 
J	1989	State Owned Corporations [SoC] Act
K	1993	Local Government Act
L	2000	Electronic Transaction Act and the new Economics

1989	NSW State introduces State Owned Corporations Act

This Act enables the NSW Government to establish Public
Organisations as "State owned Corporations [SoC]" with the 
Premier and Ministers as the shareholders.

The Companies can either be

1	"Company SoC" with the Treasurer and 4 other ministers 
	as shareholders - the Constitution is within the meaning 
	of the Corporations Act 2001 

2	"Statutory SoC" with the Treasurer and 1 other minister 
	as shareholders - THERE IS NO CONSTITUTION FOR
	A STATUTORY SOC - THE WEB PAGES JUST LINK IN A CIRCLE

1993	Local Government Act

The NSW Government  changes its Local Government Act so Councils
become Statutory SOCs

2000	NSW Electronic Transaction Act and the new Economics

Each State introduces its own Electronic Transaction Act

Electronic Trading without having to pay staff is born !

In the US over 80% of Stock Market Share Bids are electronic 
which has created enormous unemployment for on-floor brokers.

In Australia, some State Organisations Bid electronically every 
15 minutes for Electricity.
Eg Central Queensland University Tender 05 Apr 2006

The MBIs {Market Based Instruments} for Natural Resources
like Electricity, Water, Carbon, Sewerage and Volunteers etc
will provide large and regular electronic trading fluctuations.

The Government will receive the GST on each trade.

However who will set the price for Electricity, Carbon, Water, 
Sewerage and Volunteers etc  ?

Is it the Idependent Pricing and Regulation Tribunal ?

Is this why the NSW State Government is now selling off
the Electricity Companies so that the Government will
no longer be responsible for "Market Forces" ?

G	OTHER COUNCILS & CDSE GRANT APPLICATION

a	KSAS-2088 Applications for a Community Development and Support 
	Expenditure Grant [CDSE] to initially fund the awareness campaign 
	in 2008.

	The meeting confirmed 2 separate CDSE Applications
	
	1 	Mosman RSC - Technical Feasibility Study
	2 	Mosman Council - Community Awareness Program

b	Another SHOROC council has requested a paper and invited KSAS-Au
	to give a presentation to the Council

c	Another Sydney Council has invited KSAS-Au to make a submission
	for CDSE and Community funds in 2008

H	REVIEW COUNCIL AGENDA TUE 05 FEB 2008 - 5 ITEMS OF INTEREST

AER and CRS had completed the initial Mosman Council Contact Website.

This website would provide a record of the questions asked of each 
councillor

SGG and WPR attended the Council meeting and handed the Draft Invoice with
an extract from a Council Policy that the Council Insurance for Volunteers
was dependent on the Criminal Records checks taking place before Volunteers
start any job involved with Children to the General Manager during Question 
Time.

SGG explained that the invoice was for the Parents' research and explanation
time and costs for the issues of great concern to KSAS-2088 Parents with 
response required by Fri 22 Feb 2008

The Deputy Mayor was in the chair and invited the General Manager to 
respond.

The General Manager said that the Council had received legal advice that
they were not liable for any duty of care issues.

SGG and WPR left the Council Chamber with a copy of the Agenda.

That Agenda has 5 items of interest to KSAS-2088 members

1	GM/1 - Promoting Better Practice

	This item explains that the Mosman Council has NOT complied with
	the 28 Nov 2005 Local Government report in providing  "Council 
	should arrange a workshop for ALL Councillors on their roles 
	and functions".

The plan is to have the Workshop AFTER the Sep 2008 elections

2	GM/2 - Constitutional Referendum - 

	This is Referendum during the Sep 2008 to change the number of
	Councillors and how the Mayor is elected

3	GM/4 - SHOROC Board Meeting Minutes 12 December 2007

	Although the Agenda states that the Attachments would include
	the minutes (20 pages) , there were no attachments (115 pages)
	included with the 90 page Agenda

	SGG to contact Council to collect a copy of the Attachments

	12 Feb 2008 SGG collected copy SHOROC Board Meeting that confirms 
	5.5 Sportsground Management will require additional levies 

	1	the fee structure to have a fee for seniors and lower 
		fee for juniors per season
	2	there will be a school hire charge per hour
	3	the sports pay their electricity costs directly
	4	that additional revenues generated be used to improve
		maintenance on existing sports facilities
	5	that the Councils undertake the allocation of sports
	6	that there be an increase in the down period to allow
		Councils to adequately maintain and prepare grounds

	The Sports Unions agree to assist Councils on these objectives.

	
4	CD/2 -  Shorelink Library Network Committee

	There were no attachments (5 pages)

	SGG to contact Council to collect a copy of the Attachments

5	CS/1 - Investment Policy and Investments

	The summary stated that "Council's average total MONTHLY
	investment in 2006/2007 was $ 4.971 Million"

	However the 5 pages of investments was not attached

	SGG to contact Council to collect a copy of the Attachments

	The 5 pages of investment confirm that Mosman Council has
	approximately $ 55,000,000 of investments providing a return
	of around$ 3,799,832 per annum.

6	EP/1 - Outdoor Gym Equipment

	This confirms that the Council will be updating its
	Outdoor Gym Equipment

	SGG said this is an opportunity for the Council to be
	innovative and see if the Exercise Equipment can be
	link to generators to produce Electricity

7	EP/2 - Mosman Local Environmental Plan 2007

The Mosman LEP has to be revised to accommodate a new
	"Standard Instrument (Local Environmental Plans) 
	Amendment Order 2007 (the SI Amendment Order) gazetted on
	14 Dec 2007

	The SI Amendment Order has included 38 new definitions 
	(primarily land use terms) in	the Standard Instrument 
	Dictionary

	All definitions expressed in the Standard Instrument Dictionary
	must now be included in the draft MLEP 2007, regardless of
	whether the term is relevant in Mosman".

8	EP/8 - Waste Management - Review of Bin Sizes

	This is a review of the minimum bin size and new charging
	structure.

	The State Government has set Mosman a target of recovering 
	66% of its recyclables from its waste stream.

	Currently only 47.6% is recovered as the SHOROC Waste Audit 
	found that there are still 28% of materials in the Mosman
	Waste bins that could be recycled.

	Further programmes need to be introduced to improve waste 
	minimisation and drive further increases in recycling as 
	"Landfill prices for waste disposal are rising steeply
	each year.

	The Waste and Environment Levy (per Tonne) has been increased
	from 2006/07 $ 30.40 to 2007/08 $ 38.60

	The Landfill Cost (per Tonne) including Waste Levy has increased
	from 2006/07 $ 97.61 to 2007/08 $ 110.10.

	Mosman produced 6,351.92 Landfill Tonnes in 2006/07 costing
	$ 620,011.

 	There will be an educational campaign which includes sending out
	Letters to all residents and property owners.

	Residents will be required to respond to this letter".

	SGG proposed that this educational message could be included
	as part of the KSAS-2008 system and encourage people to respond
	electronically.

I	RESPONSE TO MOSMAN MAYOR RE CODE OF PRACTICE 21 DEC 2007

A letter dated Wed 21 Dec 2007 had been received on Fri 23 Dec 2007 from

J	REPLY TO RESPONSE FROM NSW DEP LOCAL GOVERNMENT

On Mon 18 Feb 2008 a response to the letter to the Minister was received from
Garry PAYNE Director General of the Department of Local Government.

This letter happened to co-incide with:

1	an investigation by the NSW Independent Commission Against

	with Wollongong Council 

2	confirmation by Mosman Council that the Council had not given
	a workshop on Councillor responsibilities

that heard them as appropriate comments by an elected Councillor.
