To consider the Quarterly Report for the six months ended 31 December 2020.
|
The Prosperous Napier Committee: a. Receive the Quarterly Report for the six months ended 31 December 2020.

The Quarterly Report summarises the Council’s progress in the second quarter of 2020/21 towards fulfilling the intentions outlined in the Annual Plan. Quarterly performance is assessed against income, total operating expenditure, and capital expenditure.

1.5 Implications
Financial
The year to date operating net deficit of $870k is $5.2m favourable to the budgeted deficit of $6.1m.
The Annual Plan 2020/21 forecasts a reduction in revenue from Council’s tourism activities due to impacts from COVID-19. However, the recovery from COVID-19 for Council’s tourism activities year to date has been better than anticipated, with revenue $3.6m higher than budget.
Revenue from Financial and Development contributions is higher than budget by $500k and interest earned is above budget by $300k.
The favourable variances are offset by increased depreciation expense of $1.6m and higher than forecast other operating expenditure.
Further detail on the financial variances for the quarter ended 31 December 2020 is contained in the report attached.

1.1 Purpose of Report
To seek Council’s approval to enter into a new ground lease with Napier City Rovers Association Football Club Inc. for the area of land occupied by the organisations clubrooms, changing rooms and grandstand.
|
At the Meeting The Manager Property spoke to the report, providing a brief overview and noting that the playing field will remain under Napier City Council’s control in terms of bookings. In response to questions from Councillors, the following points were clarified: · The view in the past has been that Napier City Rovers Association Football Club Inc. (Napier City Rovers) appeared to have exclusive use of the field, however this is not the case. Use of the field is at Council’s discretion. · This is considered to be the premier field for football/soccer in Napier and this sport is therefore given preference. It was noted that the ground is also a recreation reserve. · Maintenance of the playing field has always been Council’s responsibility. Users pay through Council’s Fees and Charges Schedule for use of the grounds. · The club room hireage is between Napier City Rovers and other users. · Other users can have access to the grandstand and public toilets. · The current lease has been rolling over on a month by month basis for around two years. · In general, with the exception of the hockey turf and bowling greens, other sporting codes in Napier also rent the grounds they play on. The sporting groups usually own their club rooms with a ground lease from Council.

Committee's recommendation Councillors Simpson / Crown The Prosperous Napier Committee: Resolve: i. That pursuant to Section 54(1)(b) of the Reserves Act 1977, to grant a lease to Napier City Rovers Association Football Club Inc. for an area of land at Park Island Reserve occupied by the Club’s clubhouse, changing rooms and grandstand. ii. That the term of the lease be for a period of 15 years, with one right of renewal.
