Why is the Adelaide council running at a deficit? What plans are in place to return the council to surplus?

Why does Ann Moran comment on any and every issue that has to do with Adelaide?

If I gave the impression that the Council is running a deficit I must set the record straight. In fact we have an Operating Surplus of $7.62m which has been applied to Strategic Projects.
I have attached the summary page from last Tuesday's Council meeting agenda item at which we adopted the budget and set the rates for 2010-2011

I try to help with answers to questions about Adelaide City Council matters but I ain't going to attempt an answer to this one!

Probably because journos want her opinion - there aren't any other councillors that are anywhere near as well-known (and respected by some) as her.

ADELAIDE CITY COUNCIL ON 15.doc

Ahh. The following part is what confused me (pertinent part italicised)-

year.The Budget is based on a total
expenditure of $219.362m with total funding from sources other than rates of $141.824m and a total amount
to be raised by Rates of $77.538m plus loans of $21.029m to be borrowed for the purpose of funding the
budget, including roll-over borrowings of $2.840 m.

I’ve provided a summary of the 2010/11 budget on my blog – http://stephenyarwood.blogspot.com/2010 ... uncil.html

The entry contains a good map outlining major projects.

I fly out to Denmark tomorrow morning for a 3 week trip – have won a scholarship to finish my MBA at Summer School in Arhus – Denmark’s second biggest city. I expect to watch the Socceroos DESTROY Serbia in a Copenhagen pub!

Cheers

Are any of the councilors able to shed some light on what happend to the restaurant/cafe that was being fitted out in the bus station? Work ceased several months ago and doesn;t look like recommencing anytime soon.

Hi Ben, yes been a few issues. I will ask the staff exactly where it is at before I say for certain - that will be monday though.

Copenhagen is fantastic - check out a few photos: http://bit.ly/c2AZdi

Councillor Plumridge's 50th Notes edition - well done David! we appreciate your open and frank communications
This is interesting ==> (Item 12.5) A proposal to create shared use zones in Coromandel Place, French St & Chesser St was endorsed for consultation. These are busy and historic laneways and activation would be great for the city.

Oh yes, that would be great - and it reminds me, I really must make a visit to The Historian Hotel.

I almost did last Friday for my "seeya" work lunch. But we changed to the Ambassador's at the eleventh hour. Wish I hadn't now, they were crap.

Do I smell a S-A get together perhaps?

I heard some murmours about this one, I really hope something like that happens, I didn't realise that that area would have enough foot traffic to make it viable but hopefully it does.

lol, withdraw funding from the event which fills the city hotels & fills the city traders cash registers.
