Dear Mr Mayor

Q: 	Would Council explain where the following amounts appear in the 
	Council Accounts:

	1	Long Service Levies from DA Applications

	2	Security Deposits

	3	s94 Contributions

BACKGROUND

Further to the report on the Mosman Council meeting Tue 04 Nov 2008 a detailed 
analysis of the Development Applications was conducted to determine if

1	the review process can be simplified 

2	it is possible to shorten the DA application process 	
	electronically

3	paper and printing costs for Council can be reduced 	
	significantly

The report is being finalised.  Here is a draft for review

In the meantime we have been unable to determine where the following amounts
appear in the Council Financial Statements:

1	the Long Service levies (0.35% for all works over $ 25K)  

2	the Security Deposits (usually $ 5,000 for each application)

3	The s94 Contributions (all works over $ 100K)

NEXT STEPS

We look forward to Council's Response to the question at the Council meeting
on Tue 09 Dec 2008

Thank you


Yours sincerely
