5                 Reports

22.8.2         2021-22 Promotion Grant Funding Report Back_WinterStellar

Doc ID:      600715

 

1.       Purpose of Report

 

To review the report back received from Winterstellar for the 2022 events and if agreed confirm release of the pre-approved grant for 2023 events.

 

Recommendations

That the Vincent Community Board

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

B.      Agrees the report back shows satisfactory outcomes from the 2021-22 funding and approves the release of the pre-approved grant $10,000 for 2022-23 as detailed in VCB resolution 21.7.2.

 

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

 

The Board approved promotion grant funding to Winterstellar at its meeting of 31 August 2021 as per the following resolution 21.7.2:

 

C.      Approves a promotions grant for Year 1 and Year 2, but declines a promotions grant for year 3 for Winterstellar Matariki and Night sky events and exhibitions.

          GRA210740149 Winterstellar Matariki and Nightsky events and exhibitions

          Year 1 LTP 2021/22: $4,000 approved subject to establishment of appropriate entity

          Year 2 LTP 2022/23: $10,000 approved subject to satisfactory report back year 1.

 

 

3.       Discussion

 

The Winterstellar promotion grant application outlined that grant funding would be applied to costs of groundwork for new events, marketing, advertising and cross sector co-ordination towards the goal of a sustainable mid-winter dark sky festival event.

 

The Winterstellar accountability report includes copies of the certificate of incorporation, an overview of the events and activities undertaken for the 2022 year, plus copies of invoices as proof of expenditure aligned with the original application. The invoices total $5,501 which is greater than the approved grant of $4,000 for the 2022 year events.

         

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

 

Should the Board agree that Winterstellar has provided a satisfactory accountability report for the 2022 year events, the Trust can be advised that they can invoice and draw down the pre-approved grant for the 2023 year events.

 

 

4.       Financial Considerations

 

The Board approved a grant to Winterstellar in year 2 of the Long Term Plan (2022/23) subject to a suitable entity being created, plus a satisfactory accountability report. 

 

Should the Board agree that Winterstellar have met the conditions applied to the approved grant for year 1 of the LTP (2021-22) the applicant may invoice for the pre-approved 2022-23 year grant.

 

The Board has budgeted $41,750 for promotions grants in the 2022-23 year. It currently has a total of $3696 uncommitted for the funding round due to close in March 2021. This amount takes into account grants approved in previous funding rounds including the pre-approved $10,000 grant to Winterstellar - resolution 21.7.2. Therefore there is no financial implication in approving the release of the grant approved.

 

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

 

 

5.       Options

 

The Board is asked to review the accountability report supplied and agree to the release of the previously approved grant for 2022-23. 

 

There is no other option as the Board has the delegation to allocate grants from the contestable funds, and the grant recipient has completed and supplied the required information as requested.

 

 

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 agreed the accountability report is satisfactory, this will be communicated to the applicant and payment of the approved grant for 2022-23 year made.

Income for period ending 30 September 2022

 

Operating income reflects a favourable variance of $2k.

·    User fees and other income have an unfavourable variance of ($40k). The main contributing factor is camping ground revenue, which is seasonal.

·    Other capital contributions have a favourable variance of $30k. This relates to the Transpower capital grant of $29k, which has been carried forward from 2020/21 for the Clyde Hall kitchen and bathroom project.

·    Reserves contributions have a favourable variance of $35k. These are difficult to gauge when setting budgets as they are dependent on developers’ timeframes.

·    Internal interest revenue has an unfavourable variance of ($15k).  Interest revenue is down on budget due to lower than expected reserve balances. This is due to Dunstan Park sales and the release dates for each stage. Stages 1 and 2 were released in 2021/22 with the remaining two stages to be released during 2022/23.

·    Rates shows an unfavourable variance of ($8k) against revised budget. This is mainly due to rates adjustment depreciation reserve which normally takes place at the end of the financial year.

Expenditure for period ending 30 September 2022

 

Expenditure has a favourable variance of $105k. These variances are detailed below:

·    Other costs have a favourable variance of $23k. This includes water charges of $22k, compliance schedules of $5k, repairs and maintenance equipment $3k and marketing and publicity of $3k. This is offset by chemicals and weed control costs of ($17k).

·    Rates expense have an unfavourable variance of ($68k) against revised budget. The key reason being that Central Otago District Council property annual rates for 2022-23 has been paid in full in this period. This will be re-aligned with budget by the end of the financial year.

·    Variances for contracts at $93k, building repairs and maintenance at $15k and professional fees at $7k are all favourable. These expenses are more needs-based and will vary against budget from time to time. The contracts variance is driven by the timing of work carried out for planned maintenance at other Alexandra reserves of $58k, Clyde community centre of $8k, Ophir community centre of $5k and Alexandra cemetery of $10k.

·    Internal interest expense has a favourable variance of $9k. This is mainly due to Alexandra town centre loan and Molyneux Pool reserves. Market interest rates have started increasing, this will likely affect this variance in the future.

 

Capital Expenditure

 

Capital expenditure (CAPEX) for the period ending 30 September 2022 reflects a favourable variance of $237k against the revised budget. The actual CAPEX spent to 30 September 2022 is 2.6% of the total revised budget.

Property and Facilities Officer (Vincent and Teviot Valley)

September 2020 – Action memo sent to the Property and Facilities Officer – Vincent and Teviot Valley.

 

November 2020 – Drafting of tender documents are underway.

 

December 2020 – Tender has now closed and assessment is underway.

 

February 2021 – Contract awarded subject to funding. Funding applications underway.

 

March 2021 – Funding applications lodged. Outcome expected end June 2021.

 

May 2021 – Otago Community Trust funding approved in full. Report to Board to be tabled at its June meeting, requesting funding for asbestos removal which must be completed before construction commences.

 

July 2021 – Funding for asbestos removal approved. Asbestos being removed 5-18 July. Lotteries funding approved in full. Transpower and Alexander McMillan Trust funding applications declined. Central Lakes Trust approached again and will consider application in August funding round.

 

August 2021 – Asbestos removal complete. Central Lakes Trust application submitted. Decision due mid-August.

 

September 2021 – Central Lakes Trust approved $32,000. Funding remains $46,500 short. The building is due to be strengthened up to 67% through funding provided this financial year. Possibility of combining these projects for potential cost savings is being explored. Engineer’s design for strengthening work underway.

 

October 2021 – The engineering design for strengthening is finished. QS of this design has been received. When taking the approach of combining both the Stage Upgrade and the Earthquake Strengthening Projects the estimated construction costs are over the combined budget. It has also been identified that an accessibility report and a fire report will be required as part of the building consent for both projects. The engineer has both reports underway. Any resulting costs to bring the building up to current code will also need to be factored into these projects. The engineer has suggested council could opt for only the hall section of the Community Centre to be strengthened if the Theatre is not required for Emergency Management purposes. Council’s Emergency Management Officer has been consulted and confirmed this could be a possibility the Board may like to consider. The engineer has been instructed to do further modelling to see how the parts of the complex will perform in an earthquake if they are at different strengthening levels. Once received a report to the Board for a decision to either provide further funding or to proceed but only strengthen the hall side of the complex to 67% will be tabled.

 

November 2021- Awaiting engineer's fire and accessibility reports and earthquake modelling results.

 

December 2021- Chasing engineer's fire and accessibility reports and earthquake modelling results. Requested an 8-month extension on the Lotteries funding agreement.

Building consent granted. The building is due to be moved within the week of 29 August 2022.

01 Nov 2022

The building was relocated on 5 September. There was unexpected additional expenses in the move. When they started lifting the building up it was found that the floor was not connect to the walls and there was borrer being present in the bearers. Both items needed to be addressed before the building was moved. Then when the contractor started to dig the holes for the piles at the new site, beside the Clyde Railway Station, they found an underground steel tank. An archaeologist was called in and concluded that it was most likely a soak pit system that was installed when the station was first build in 1907. The site was recorded and approval given to fill the tank with concrete. These unexpected costs has put the project over budget. A review of the remaining costs to achieve building consent is underway.
