1.1   Purpose of Report

To report on the Rating Account to 30 June 2017, and to approve allocations from the Rating Surplus.

 

Officer’s Recommendation

a.       That the 2016/17 net rating surplus of $1,238,100 be transfered to the Capital Reserve Account where it is available for future commitments.

b.       That $300,000 is allocated from the Capital reserve to fund IT projects that have been bought forward as a result of the office relocation requirements.

 

MAYOR’S RECOMMENDATION

That the Council resolve that the officer’s recommendation be adopted.

 

1.2   Background Summary

An integral part of preparing the Annual Report is establishing the year end outturn position of the Rating Account. It has been Council’s practice to apply year-end surpluses to fund one-off items committed against the surplus, with any remaining surplus transferred to the Capital Reserve Account for allocation by Council.

1.3   Issues

Rating Summary to 30 June 2017

Net Rating Surplus (After allowing for committed carry-forwards) is $1,238,100.

In arriving at the above surplus, interest income has been allocated to special funds in line with Council’s policy for allocating interest; however, similar to recent years, there has been no allocation of interest to the Infrastructural Renewals or Financial Contribution Accounts.

 

The rating surplus arises primarily from additional interest income from general treasury funds (approximately $0.9m), additional rates penalties and savings in loan servicing costs.

1.4   Significance and Consultation

N/A

1.5   Implications

Financial

With contingency funding now provided within the Long Term Plan / Annual plan, the rating surplus is available to transfer to the Capital Reserve Account for future allocation.

The balance of the Capital Reserve at 30 June 2017 was $3,019,462 (prior to adding the rating surplus and existing approved commitments).

Commitments currently identified and approved against the Capital Reserve include:

 

2017/18

 

Events Promotion

   140,000

Anderson Park Upgrade

772,000

Coastal Hazard Strategy

     100,000

Aquatic development provision

Bay Skate Ramps

200,000

Total 2017/18

2,712,000

 

 

2018/19

 

Memorial Square Building Development

   300,000

Hockey Turf

500,000

Walkway/Cycleway development

253,000

Total 2018/19

1,053,000

 

 

TOTAL CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

$3,765,000

 

IT projects that were to be included in Council’s 2018-28 Long Term Plan are now required due to the relocation of Council offices. These costs are outside the building upgrade project costs already budgeted.

 

Approval is sought to allocate $300,000 from the Capital Reserve Account to fund the IT project costs required as a result of office moves including moving to the cloud, and phone system requirements. This would increase the total capital commitments to $4,065,000 leaving a balance in the Capital Reserve Account (after the rating surplus is added) of $192,562.

1.6   Options

The options available to Council are as follows:

1.    Transfer the rating surplus to the Capital Reserve Account and approve the allocation of $300,000 to fund IT projects that have been bought forward as a result of the office relocation.

2.    Allocate the rating surplus directly for one-off items with any remaining surplus transferred to the Capital Reserve Account.

1.7   Development of Preferred Option

Transferring the surplus to the Capital Reserve for allocation is more transparent and consistent with recent practice. Option 1 is the preferred option.

Reporting Officer/s & Unit:

Jane McLoughlin, Team Leader Governance

1.1     Purpose of Report

To outline the feedback received from the community engagement on Māori Wards and seek a decision from Council on whether to establish Māori Wards for the 2019 election.

 

At the Māori Consultative Committee meeting

On Māori representation, the Committee spoke on the following points:

- The key question is whether there is adequate representation on the Council for Māori representation – do Māori have a voice.  This point was made considering whether there are Māori wards or whether there is another mechanism to achieve it.  

- The work that Council is undertaking on its Māori strategies was seen as very positive and a way of ensuring there is adequate representation and a voice.

- It is important to encourage more Māori to stand as candidates in the local government elections.  However it was noted that even if there were more Māori elected onto Council, this would not replace council’s obligations to rangatiratanga. 

- The greatest value may be in involving Māori early on in what Council is developing.  An example of this is already in motion in the work being undertaken on the Aquarium, where Māori have been engaged from the conception stage, rather than towards the end of the design of a project. 

Māori Consultative Committee's recommendation

L Ratima / T Aranui

That the Council resolve that the Committee’s recommendation be adopted.

Carried

 

Committee's Recommendation

Councillors Wright / Brosnan

That Council

a.       Do not establish Māori Wards in Napier City for the 2019 and 2022 local elections.

Public forum

Mr Selwyn Hawthorne spoke to his petition on the Re-instatement of the War Memorial and Eternal Flame and presented a written submission that he tabled with Councillors. He also noted the apology of Peter Grant of the Taradale RSA and following his submission recited the Ode. In particular he spoke regarding:

-       Public unease of consultation on the original decision to remove the War Memorial aspects out of the building and change the name.

-       The importance of War Memorials; they are a place of respect and mana and exist in perpetuity.

-       The History of the War Memorial Hall.

-       Napier’s War Memorial Hall was a place of respect to all those who lost their lives. 

-       That there should be open and meaningful consultation with the public on design and on the name.

 

    There were no questions from Councillors. 

 

Dr Robin Gwynn, and Mike McNab from First Union, spoke to their petition on Easter Sunday Trading.  In particular, Dr Gwynn spoke regarding:

 

-       That the process Council undertook to reach their decision was unfair and Council did not fully consult with all key stakeholders, in particular the churches, and the retail workers.  The timing of the consultation, at a very busy time for churches, made it difficult for churches to be involved. 

-       Council should reconsider their decision by undertaking a new process, in particular, which is a fair and balanced process – in which the key stakeholders are all consulted with, and in a way that they can fully participate.   

 

Mr McNab, from First Union spoke regarding:

 

-       His organisation had received no contact from Council despite Council advising that they had in fact emailed the organisation. 

-       Retail workers want a fair say. 

 

In response to questions raised by Councillors, it was clarified by the petitioners that:

-       Any new consultation should be undertaken away from December, which is a busy time for churches, but in time to meet legislative deadlines for the decision to take effect next Easter.

-       It was unknown how many retail workers were represented by the Union, but the Union representative would find this information out and provide it to Council.

1.1   Purpose of Report

To update the Napier City Council on the preferred location of Napier’s War Memorial.

 

At the meeting

 

An amendment to the Officer’s recommendation was raised straight away by Councillor Wise, for reasons that:

-       the community in Napier has demonstrated their passion about the War Memorial Hall, in particular, across all demographics, and whether they have a connection with the military or not.

-       the community has told Council they are unhappy with previous decisions that Council has made on the War Memorial.

-       in order to listen to the community and provide an opportunity to consult with them on future decisions on the War Memorial.

-       at the public meeting held recently, there was a promise made to the community that Council will consult fully with them on the design concept and name. 

 

Other comments raised by Councillors included:

-       Council must restore mana and memories and undo the mistakes of previous decisions.

-       Council must ensure consultation will take place on the plaques, and separate the War Memorial aspects from the conversation on commercialism, and redefine the War Memorial as a special place, respecting the words, ‘lest we forget’.

-       Memorials are in perpetuity, the hall will always be the War Memorial, and any new place of remembrance will be in addition to that. 

-       Once the design concept has been decided upon over the upcoming months, consultation should occur on that and the name. 

 

COUNCIL RESOLUTION

Councillors Wise / White

That Council:

i.              Approve that the current Floral Clock site is the new location for the War Memorial incorporating the Eternal Flame and updated Roll of Honour with the Floral Clock to be relocated to the Sunken Gardens.

ii.            Note that the existing Roll of Honour plaques be retained in storage until consultation is undertaken with the community to decide how they could be incorporated into the new War Memorial.

iii.           Note Council Officers will report back to Council with detailed design concepts and project costs for the War Memorial and that the original architect Guy Natusch will be consulted on the design.

iv.           Note that additional funding will be allocated to the project upon completion of the decision concepts and associated costings.

v.            Agree that community consultation is undertaken on the future of the existing Roll of Honour plaques, the design concept and the name of the centre.

To present the Napier City Council Annual Report 2016/17 for adoption by Council.

 

At the Meeting

The Chief Financial Officer tabled the minor changes made to the Annual Report subsequent to the Agenda for this meeting being published (see appended document).

 

The Director Corporate Services advised that an unqualified opinion had been received from Audit New Zealand on the Annual Report. The Report captures information correct at end of June 2017.

 

In reflection on the Report the following points were noted:

·         Another strong financial result has been achieved for the year, with careful management of loans.

·         Napier continues to hold the lowest average rates across councils of similar size.

·         Particular highlights for the year have included:

§  Being the first Council to receive  an ‘A’ rating through the Local Government Excellence Programme

§  Receiving a Local Government Excellence Award for the City Vision project

§  The opening of Bayskate

§  The completion of and strongly positive community engagement with the Marine Parade development

§  The re-opening of the Napier Conference Centre following expansion and refurbishment to become a destination events and conference facility

§  The refurbishment of the Ivan Wilson Pools

§  The launch of Matariki Regional Economic Development Strategy

§  Design work and equipment purchasing for a destination playground at Anderson Park

§  A continuing focus on maintaining Napier’s standing as an events destination, including the highly successful Seawalls collaboration with the Pangeaseed Foundation

§  The commitment to engaging with the community on a range of projects, concerns and opportunities including ways that demand for freedom camping can best be addressed.

 

Thanks were extended to the Annual Report project team for the significant levels of work required to produce the document, and more generally to all staff for their contributions to an extremely busy work programme.
