22.3.2         2022-23 Annual Plan Budget and Fees and Charges Schedule

Doc ID:      577259

 

1.       Purpose of Report

 

To approve the final budgets for the Vincent ward for inclusion in Council’s Annual Plan 2022-23 process and the 2022-23 fees and charges schedule.

 

 

Recommendations

That the Vincent Community Board

A.      Receives the report and accepts the level of significance.

B.      Agrees the final Vincent ward 2022-23 Annual Plan budget and recommend to Council for inclusion in the 2022-23 Annual Plan.

C.      Agrees to accept the Vincent ward 2022-23 fees and charges schedule and recommend to Council for inclusion in the 2022-23 Annual Plan.

 

 

2.       Background

 

The 2022-23 final budgets for the Vincent ward have been prepared on Council’s request to keep the 2021-22 Long-term Plan (year two) budgets relatively unchanged. The draft budget was presented to the Community Board in February 2022.

 

At the time of presenting the budgets, the overall Council average annual rates increase was projected be 7.7%, down from 7.8% as adopted for year two of the 2021-31 Long-term Plan.  The Vincent ward’s average rates increase, excluding district wide rates and metered water, was projected to be around 5.9%.


When presenting the budget in February, a few changes were identified, these have since been corrected and has resulted in the average rates increase for the Vincent ward decreasing to an average rate increase of 5.0%.  This excludes district-wide rates and metered water.  The overall council rates, while still being finalised with Council is also projected to be less than the initially reported 7.7%.

 

In addition to adopting the annual plan and setting the rates for the new financial year, Council adopts the annual fees and charges. A complete copy of the Fees and Charges 2022-23 Schedule is attached for information.  There were minimal changes across the full suites of fees and charges from year one of the Long-term Plan to the proposed 2022-23 Annual Plan.

 

 

3.       Discussion

 

Council staff presented draft budgets to each community board for consideration at their February meetings. Staff identified a couple of changes required, the most significant for the Vincent ward was a double up of community grants in one area, which has since been corrected.

 

This final version of the Vincent ward annual budget now needs to be incorporated into the all-of-council annual budget as part of the 2022-23 Annual Plan, scheduled to be adopted 01 June 2022.

 

Appendix 1 shows the cost centres that are funded by Vincent Community Ward rates and outlines the changes made between the current year and 2022-23. The ward rate is specific to rateable units in the ward and is not the district wide rate, or metered water.

 

 

4.       Financial Considerations

 

There is a rating increase of $165k equating to 5.0% increase, compared to year one of the long-term plan.

 

The main variances are:

·     Property and facilities $103.6k, with Clyde Community Centre making up $63k, as per the 2021-31 Long-term Plan, year two 

·     Parks and reserves $52k with Molyneux Park and Molyneux Pool being the key contributors.  Both budgeted to increase in the 2021-31 Long-term Plan, although there is a slight increase to the long-term Plan budget due to increased depreciation and movement in the financial reserves post the Long-term Plan adoption.

 

 

5.       Options

 

To accept the final 2022-23 budget and 2022-23 Fees and Charges Schedule for recommendation to Council for inclusion in the 2022-23 Annual Plan.

 

Option 1 - (recommended)

 

Advantages:

 

·     Meets statutory requirements

·     Provides transparent expenditure management

·     The Vincent ward budget will feed into Council’s annual plan budget for 2022-23

·     Meets the ratepayers’ expectations

·     Allows changes to reflect prior Council and Community Board decisions

·     Allows for Fees and Charges to be updated to reflect the most accurate charges.

 

Disadvantages:

 

·      Some members of the community may feel disadvantaged paying increased rates.

 

Option 2

 

Decline the final 2022-23 budget and 2022-23 Fees and Charges Schedule for recommendation to Council for inclusion in the 2022-23 Annual Plan and do not recommend it to Council for inclusion in the 2022-23 Annual Plan process

 

 

Advantages:

 

·      Status quo remains and rate payers do not incur increased rates.

 

Disadvantages:

 

·     Delay in the annual plan process or the 2022-23 Annual Plan may not accurately reflect the Community Board’s prior decisions.

·     Run the risk of delaying the annual plan process and therefore potentially miss the legislative deadlines

·     May not reflect a fair distribution of costs to the rate payer

·     Reliance on financial reserves through not reflecting the true cost of activities, and therefore not rating accurately.

 

 

6.       Compliance

 

Local Government Act 2002 Purpose Provisions

This decision enables democratic local decision making and action by, and on behalf of the community by involving community board members in robust and transparent financial decision making.

Decision consistent with other Council plans and policies? Such as the District Plan, Economic Development Strategy etc.

Yes, consistent with all council plans and policies, and the 2022-23 Annual Plan is closely aligned to year two of the 2021-31 Long-term Plan.

Considerations as to sustainability, the environment and climate change impacts

No implications, as this has been factored in the 2021-31 Long-term Plan and there have been no changes to these considerations and assumptions used to prepare the 2021-31 Long-term Plan.

Risks Analysis

The risk of not accepting this report is that Council will lose the ability to adopt the 2022-23 Annual Plan and set and collect, the required rates to fund the activities Council is required to carry out.  Council will not meet legislative requirements and may be exposed to legal challenges.

Significance, Consultation and Engagement (internal and external)

This is a significant step in the annual plan process, as it ensures the Community Board is across its ward-specific budget, and feedback to Council’s overall 2022-23 Annual Plan. 

 

 

7.       Next Steps

 

Once this report is accepted and changes made where necessary, it will be submitted to Council for recommendation to be included in the final 2022-23 Annual Plan scheduled to be adopted 1 June 2022.

 

A complete schedule of the fees and charges has been submitted to each of the relevant community boards for approval.  Once approved, the total suite of fees and charges will also be presented to Council with the recommendation that Council adopt the proposed fees and charges as part of the adoption process when adopting the 2022-23 Annual Plan.

22.3.3         March 2022 Community and Promotions Grants Applications

Doc ID:      576931

 

1.       Purpose of Report

 

To consider the March 2022 community and promotions grant applications to the Vincent Community Board.

 

Recommendations

That the Vincent Community Board

A.      Receives the report and accepts the level of significance.

B.      Decides the grants to be allocated to the applicants of the community and promotions grants.

 

2.       Background

 

The Central Otago District Council contributes to the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of the local community through the contestable grants process. 

 

The objectives of the grants process are:

 

·     Enhance well-being in the district (social, economic, environmental and cultural)

·     Empower local communities

·     Facilitate the delivery of community outcomes

·     Promote our regional identity: Central Otago A World of Difference.

 

There are two types of grants that can be applied for, community grants and promotions grants.  Each are funded using different targeted rates, which means that one pool cannot subsidise the other.  Each application must be considered on its own merit and its fit with the relevant grant criteria and available budget. 

 

The Board considers grant applications in two rounds annually.  Applications for the first round closed at the end of August 2021 for a decision in September, with the second round closing at the end of March 2022 for a decision in May 2022.

 

A comprehensive review of the grants policy took place in August 2019 with further reviews undertaken in June 2021 and January 2022.  These reviews were to streamline the process and improve the community experience in using the policy.

 

The Vincent Community Board is delegated the authority to consider applications for activities and projects within its boundaries. 

 

Annually, there is $120,000 to distribute in the Vincent community grants scheme and $41,750 to distribute in the promotions grants scheme.  The following table illustrates the commitments already made and the amounts left to distribute.

Copies of the applications, supporting documentation and staff assessments are provided to Board members under separate cover.

 

 

4.       Financial Considerations

 

As detailed above, the Board has $5,860 to distribute for the 2021/22 Community Grants round and $35,250 for the 2021/22 Promotion Grants.  The 2022/23 budget amounts are also provided in the discussion section above.  Boards have the delegated authority to spend within this budget.  Any recommendations above these amounts would fall outside of that delegation and would need to be by way of a recommendation to Council.

 

For this funding round, organisations were able to apply for the remainder of the 2021/22 financial year grants budgets, or for the 2022/23 financial year, for projects that take place in that financial year.  Any funding granted for the 2022/23 financial year will need to be subject to the approval of the draft 2022/23 Annual Plan.

 

When considering applications for a future financial year, members will need to be mindful that any approvals will decrease the grant amount available for that financial year’s funding round and may cause the perception of an uneven playing field to other applicants.

 

 

5.       Options

 

The Board is asked to consider each application and determine the appropriate level of funding.  There are no other options as the Board has the delegation to allocate grants from the contestable funds.

 

 

6.       Compliance

 

Local Government Act 2002 Purpose Provisions

This decision promotes the social, cultural, economic and environmental wellbeing of communities, in the present and for the future by providing a contestable funding pool that enables projects to be delivered in the community that enhance wellbeing.

 

Decision consistent with other Council plans and policies? Such as the District Plan, Economic Development Strategy etc.

Yes, this decision is consistent with the Grants Policy, and other plans and policies that may be impacted by any of the individual grant applications.

 

Considerations as to sustainability, the environment and climate change impacts

There is no direct impact, some applications may have a positive environmental impact from time to time.

 

Risks Analysis

No risks have been identified in the funding applications. 

 

Significance, Consultation and Engagement (internal and external)

The funding rounds were advertised in the local newspaper, Council’s website and Facebook page, and through combined agency community funding clinics.  Discussions with departments of Council have taken place where there impacts arising from the application.

 

 

 

7.       Next Steps

 

Once the Board has made a decision on the level of funding for each organisation, this will be communicated to each applicant and payments made.
