SUBJECT: Question with Notice - Clr Hagarty - Private Investigators
Please address the following:
1. Does Council use private investigators?
2. If so, in what capacity?
Response
Council periodically uses private investigators as a legitimate source of augmenting the investigation of complaints by Councils authorised officers. They have proved useful in obtaining positive outcomes for Council in court proceedings or addressing complainant issues.
Private investigators are mainly used for: · Activity Surveillance - to ascertain the extent of an activity being carried out or conducted on a property (mainly after-hours), and whether there is sufficient evidence to substantiate a complaint from the community or form a reasonable belief that the activity is prohibited such that enforcement action is warranted; · Service of court documents; and · Skip tracing to locate owners of properties for the purposes of service of court documents (in circumstances where usual searches and service of documents have been unsuccessful).
The use of private investigators for surveillance is infrequent and in response to community complaints. On average private investigators have been engaged around twice a year over the last 6 years.

SUBJECT: Question with Notice - Clr Kaliyanda - Staff Picnic Day
Please address the following:
Each year Council allows non-unionised staff to take the union picnic day off. What is the cost in wages and salaries to Council for non-unionised staff to take this day off?
Response
Council’s Leave Management Policy (which is an operational policy of Council) provides information and guidance on the management of a range of leave entitlements in accordance with applicable Awards, agreements, legislation and related policies.
Clause 4.22 of the Leave Management Policy provides for a Picnic Day that is available to all employees of Council. This Clause of the Policy recognises that a Union Picnic Day is provided to financial members of any of the industry unions in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Local Government (State) Award.
This Clause also states that a Picnic Day is provided for all employees (subject to operational requirements and sufficient staff coverage) to coincide with the Union Picnic Day.
In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Award and Leave Management Policy, a distinction applies to the applicable rates of pay where, due to operational requirements, a union member or a non-financial member of a union is required to work on Picnic Day.
Employees who are not financial members of a union and who are required to work on Picnic Day will be paid normal rates of pay and will be granted time in lieu equivalent to the time they have worked, at single time. Unlike financial members of any of the unions they do not receive penalty / overtime payments or time in lieu of overtime.
These particular Picnic Day arrangements have been in place at Liverpool City Council since at least 2008.
