22.8.2         2021-22 Promotion Grant Funding Report Back_Cromwell and Districts Promotions Group

Doc ID:      602057

 

1.       Purpose of Report

 

To review the accountability report received from Cromwell and Districts Promotions Group on the 2021-2022 year activities.

 

Recommendations

That the Cromwell Community Board

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

B.      Agrees the accountability report meets the grant policy terms and conditions and that the recorded underspend amount of $2,581 is reimbursed to the promotions cost centre to be made available to applicants at the next funding round closing March 2023.   

 

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.

 

The Board approved promotion grant funding totalling $100,643 in the 2021-2022 financial year to Cromwell and Districts Promotions Group. As required by the grant policy an accountability report is to be provided to the Board including end of year financial accounts. 

 

Whilst the annual performance report for the group shows the full year amount of $100,643 as the full years grant funding, the groups accountability report supplied excludes the $15,000 grant to the Light Up Winter event 2021 (Resolution 21.3.5) as this has previously been reported back to the Board at its 9 May 2022 meeting. 

 

 

3.       Discussion

 

 

In addition to the $15,000 as a hardship grant for Light Up Winter event 2021, the Board approved funding to the Group in the two publicised funding rounds for 2021-2022 as per the following resolutions:

 

 

 

Resolution: 21.7.2

 

B.      Approves a promotions grant to Cromwell and Districts Promotions Group:

1.   GRA210739436 Cromwell and Districts Promotions Group – Operational, Staff, Marketing and events as outlined in the application
Year 1 LTP 2021/22 applied $87,143

Approved Total $64,270 as detailed
$17,760 Contractor – Media and Communications
$17,760 Contractor – Community Relations
$11,250 Advertising
$9,000 Operating Expenses (excl bad debts and donations)
$3,000 Christmas Parade traffic management
$2,000 Cherry Festival 2021
$3,500 Street Party and Fireworks 2021



Resolution: 22.3.3

 

B.      Allocates the grants as follows:

 

Applicant

Grant Amount

2

Cromwell and Districts Promotions Group for contractors, advertising and operating costs

$21,373

 

With regards to the above resolution 22.3.3 – the amount granted is broken down as follows:

 

$6,540        Contractor – Media & Communications

$2,940        Contractor – Community Relations

$4,500        Marketing / Advertising

$7,393        Operating Expenses

 

The accountability report identifies an underspend of $2,581 in relation to the approved grant. The majority of the underspend ($2,445) is attributed to a late cancellation of the annual Fireworks event due to the COVID guidelines at the time.

         

The grant policy states:

Where funds remain unspent following project completion, these must be returned to Council. If the project does not proceed, funding must be returned to Council.

 

The underspent amount of $2581 should therefore be returned to Council and made available for applications made to the next funding round closing March 2023.

 

Copies of the accountability report and supporting documents are provided to Board members under separate cover.

 

 

4.       Financial Considerations

 

The Board has budgeted $106,219 for promotions grants in the 2022-2023 year. It has previously approved grants totalling $91,520 and currently has an uncommitted budget of $14,699 available for applications in the 2022-23 year.

 

An underspent grant amount of $2,581 is identified in the Groups accountability report and financial performance. As per the grant policy this amount should be returned to Council and therefore would give the Board a total of $17,280 for the March 2023 funding round.

 

The Board has the delegated authority to spend within this budget. 

 

 

5.       Options

 

Option 1

The Board is asked to review the accountability report supplied and agree that the underspend grant amount of $2581 is returned to Council as required by the grant policy.

 

Advantages

·    The grant recipient is meeting the terms of Councils Grant Policy, identifying the underspend grant amounts to be reimbursed.

·    The Board will have an increased amount of grant funding available for its second funding round closing in March 2023.

 

 

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.

Income for period ending 30 September 2022:

 

Operating income reflects a favourable variance to the revised budget of $265k.

 

·    Internal interest revenue had a favourable variance of $17k. This is mainly due to Cromwell memorial hall and Cromwell town centre projects being carried forward to 2022/23, therefore property reserves are higher than planned. The higher surplus reserves and increasing market interest rates are driving this favourable variance.

·    Reserves contributions has a favourable variance of $248k. These are difficult to gauge when setting budgets and are dependent on developers’ timeframes.

Expenditure for period ending 30 September 2022:

 

Expenditure had a favourable variance of $1.043M against the revised budget.  The variances are detailed below:

·    Rates expense shows an unfavourable variance of ($86k). This is mainly due to Central Otago District Council property annual rates for 2022-23 was paid in full in this period. This will be aligned with budget at the end of the financial year.

·    Cost of sales of land had a favourable variance of $1.004M. This is because there were no land sales during the period. Land sales and the cost of sales move along side with each other.

·    Grants have an unfavourable variance of ($52k) against revised budget. This is due to timing of the promotions grants and the budget. Of the $205k revised budget, $90k year-to-date has been allocated for promotional activities, and $16k has been spent on general grants. A further $10k has been issued to the Cromwell Museum Trust for payment of services from an annual budget.

·    Other costs have a favourable variance of $35k. These costs are needs-based and will vary against budget from time to time. Of this variance the following are favourable against the year-to-date revised budget: water charges of $16k, marketing and publicity $7k, pest eradication of $2k, weed control of $4k and compliance schedule of $3k.

·    Contracts has a favourable variance of $82k against revised budget. These expenses are needs-based, and they will vary against budget from time to time. The contract variance is driven by timing of work carried out for planned maintenance work at Cromwell reserves of $60k, Tarras community centre of $6k, Cromwell pool of $3k and Cromwell community centre of $10k.

·    Staff costs has a favourable variance of $40k. This is due to the seasonal swimming pool staff, recruitment, and associated costs.

 

Capital Expenditure:

 

Capital expenditure (CAPEX) for the period ending 30 September 2022 has a year-to-date favourable variance of $3.354M. The actual CAPEX spent to date is 2% of the total revised budget.
