Your Council Our Community Comparison to Gap Rates: $1.65

Your Council Our Community Main Options Considered Continue to underfund all services – Gradually provide worse and worse services. Provide what services we can properly – Allocate funding until resources are all allocated. – Balance of services not undertaken Provide reduced services in some areas – Most services seen as important, may have to sacrifice some service level to keep range of other lower important service to some extent. Provide reduced services but also increase rates to allow for services considered required. – Select the level of funding that will provide the services the councillors believe should be provided. Base on available today or available after loans paid out with no new loans

22
Your Council Our Community What we heard 2010 Consultations Council doing what we said would do Council doing things properly the first time Council inefficiency – operational / administrative resources Do we get our fair share ? Transparency Economic Development - employment opportunities / investment Caravan parks Council applying for grants How will projects be prioritised Impacts on pensioners User pays fees Everyone should get charged equally.
23
Your Council Our Community Questions If we have to pay more rates can we be given a guarantee that no more money will be wasted on projects having to be repeated before getting in right. I.e. safety steps on stairs. Prince of Wales footpath, plus numerous road repairs. If Council obtains approval for the rate increase of $5 per week per assessment for expenditure on essential infrastructure. What guarantee do ratepayers have that money raised will not be spent on non essential services by a future Council. Kerbside removal of unwanted household items, has Kempsey Council considered providing such a service? How much rates are collected from South West Rocks and surrounding areas per year? How much is spent by council back in the area?
24
Your Council Our Community Questions Would council agree that it has mismanaged funds and put themselves in this situation prompting them to considered drastically slashing services and or hiking rates by an incredible amount? How can Council justify themselves in ignoring a resident who has had communications by phone, email and letters for over 14 months? Can you tell me what I get for my rates that a non paying rate resident does not get? Why is it that Council’s annual total income continues to increase which does not result in any improvement in the debt service ratio as disclosed in the sect.418(3) presentation of the financial reports?
