Ordinary Meeting of Council - 08 October 2020 - Open Minutes

Agenda Items

 

1.    Statement of Proposal - Revenue and Financing Policy

Type of Report:

Legal and Operational

Legal Reference:

Local Government Act 2002

Document ID:

959200

Reporting Officer/s & Unit:

Garry Hrustinsky, Investment and Funding Manager

 

1.1   Purpose of Report

The purpose of this report is to progress proposed amendments to the Revenue & Financing Policy, Rating Policy, Rates Remission Policy and Rates Postponement Policy by introducing a Statement of Proposal and consultation plan for Council consideration.

 

At the Meeting

The Investment and Funding Manager spoke to the report, noting the extensive process followed to bring the policy suite to this point. The policies are now to be taken to the community for feedback; the intended consultation outline and hearings were briefly reviewed.

In response to questions from councillors it was clarified that:

·         A web page is being set up where rate payers can enter their address and get an indication of how their property may be affected by the proposed changes. 

·         The density and broad ranging nature of the consultation information is recognised, and summary documents and explanations in lay terms will be provided.

·         The overall aim is about improving consistency and sharing the rates burden more fairly across the city – characteristics of properties had not been compared and aligned with one another from county days, almost 30 years.

·         It has been such a large piece of work because it has not been undertaken as intensely in that 30 years, although a first principles review was completed in 2001. Stage 1 of the process was begun by the previous council and the current council has progressed the work to this point where the thoughts of the public will be sought.

·         Where parties are considered “significantly affected” this means a change of about 20-25% to the current setting is indicated. 

It was noted that the rates remission policy also included in the policy suite contains the option to receive a remission for lower waste.

 

 

 

 

 

Council resolution

Councillors Boag / Taylor

That Council:

a.     Note the draft Revenue & Financing Policy, Rating Policy, Rates Remission Policy and Rates Postponement Policy were adopted by Council on 15 September 2020.

b.     Approve the Statement of Proposal amending the Revenue & Financing Policy, Rating Policy, Rates Remission Policy and Rates Postponement Policy.

c.     Approve the Consultation Plan for proposed amendments to the Revenue & Financing Policy, Rating Policy, Rates Remission Policy and Rates Postponement Policy.
