2 PALMERSTON NORTH CITY COUNCIL ANNUAL PLAN 2014/15

INTRODUCTION

This Annual Plan was adopted by the Council on 23 June 2014 in accordance with the Local Government Act 2002.

The Annual Plan states the Council’s intentions. It is based on the Council’s best information and planning at the time it was developed. If circumstances change, the Council may have to change its intentions. This is especially the case in light of current uncertain economic conditions.

All the decisions in this Plan are reviewable, especially during future 10 Year Plans and Annual Plans.

This is made clear in the Local Government Act 2002, Section 96:

(1) The effect of a long-term plan and an annual plan adopted by a local authority is to provide a formal and public statement of the local authority’s intentions in relation to the matters covered by the plan.

(2) A resolution to adopt a long-term plan or an annual plan does not constitute a decision to act on any specific matter included within the plan.

(3) Subject to section 80, and except as provided in section 97, a local authority may make decisions that are inconsistent with the contents of any long-term plan or annual plan.

(4) No person is entitled to require a local authority to implement the provisions of a long-term plan or an annual plan.

Kia Ora everybody

This is our Annual Plan for July 2014 to June 2015. It sets out what we plan to do over the next twelve months to keep Palmerston North a safe, healthy, fun and easy place to live.

As always, we prepared a draft Plan and sought peoples’ comments on it. We received 188 submissions and Council has carefully thought about all of these.

Many of the submissions were about cycling, so Council has added into the draft Plan projects like investigating a cycle and pedestrian pathway to Bunnythorpe, supporting the Mountain Bike Club build new bike tracks in the Arapuke Forest, and increasing the funding next year for the Linton cycle and pedestrian pathway.

Council has made some other changes to the draft Plan as well. For example, Council will do more to promote a smokefree CBD. Council will build two – rather than one – toilets along our walkways. For dog owners, we are going to investigate a dog park where you could let your dog run around and exercise.

Thank you to all of you who made submissions. It is always great to get feedback on our plans.

Overall there will be a 3.8% rates increase to pay for all

the services and projects in the Annual Plan. This is down

from the 5.5% predicted in the 2012 10 Year Plan and the

4.3% in the draft Plan.

The reduction from the draft Plan has come about due to

the constant checking of budgets to make sure they prove

value for money. Specific savings include reducing the

capital cost to the Council of improving under veranda

lighting in the CDB by $400,000. We could make this

saving thanks to a very generous grant from Central

Energy Trust.

As we were finalising the Plan we got the great news

that AgResearch is investing $50m into their campus in

Palmerston North. Over 300 AgResearch food scientists

will be based here and eventually the project could bring

over $230m a year in wages and salaries to the City. This

is a great contribution to the FoodHQ project, which

aims to establish Palmerston North as a global leader for

food research.

The project is a collaboration between AgResearch,

Massey University, Fonterra, Plant and Food Research,

the BioCommerce Centre, the Riddet institute, ESR,

AsureQualit y, Manawatu District Council and the

City Council.

Our role was to help support the collaborative effort that

went into the project. We also made sure that Council’s

consent planning is business friendly, while protecting

public interests.

We also provide the water, wastewater, roads, etc. that

businesses like FoodHQ, as well as the smaller businesses

that provide so many of our jobs, rely on.

Next year we will be reviewing our 10 Year Plan. This sets

out the Council’s long-term goals. Through the draft

Annual Plan we asked people for feedback on our current

goals (these are set out on page 1 of this Plan). We got

some good suggestions on how we can work towards

these goals but, in general, people agree with the Council’s

direction.

This shows that the City and the Council are on the right

track. The FoodHQ decision confirms that.

We need to keep moving forward. In July 2014 we will be

fund raising for the Wildbase project. This is a joint project with Massey University, the Department of Conservation, Rotary clubs, and Rangitāne to replace the aviary in the Esplanade. Injured wildlife from across New Zealand will be treated at Massey’s Wildbase Hospital and then recuperate in the Wildbase building in the Esplanade.

We think the City and the Council are well set up for a good year. We hope it is good for you too.

HOw dOes tHe AnnuAl PlAn FIt wItH tHe 10 YeAR PlAn?

Under the Local Government Act 2002 the Council has to plan for the long term well-being of the City. To do this we have to prepare a 10 Year Plan every three years. Our current 10 Year Plan covers the period 2012 - 2022.

During years two and three of a 10 Year Plan the Council still has to produce an Annual Plan. This Annual Plan has to be based on the 10 Year Plan, to make sure that the Council does what it indicated to the community it would do. It also makes sure we have a consistent direction.

The owner of this property will pay rates of $2,140 per annum or $41.15 per week. The diagram on the next page shows the services the Council provides in each of its Activities, and the cost per week to the owner of the average residential property.

For 2014/15 it is proposed to split the rate for recycling into two parts. Properties on the kerbside recycling route will be charged $124 per unit for kerbside recycling. All properties, other than vacant land, will be charged $75 per unit for rubbish and public recycling. This implements a decision made last year that all ratepayers, not just those on the kerbside recycling route, should share the cost of such things as transfer stations, fly tipping and community education about waste management. Rubbish bags will still be available for purchase from the usual outlets.

INTRODUCTION tHe COnsultAtIOn PROCess

The Council sought views from the community on the draft Annual Plan. Copies of the document and of the Summary were made available at the Council and at City and Branch Libraries. The March edition of the Square Circular included information about the draft Plan and how people could access it and give their feedback. The public then had the option of making a submission and speaking to a Council Hearings Committee.

The Council received 188 submissions, representing 432 signatures (this included two petitions). The public was given a variety of ways to make submissions - these were broken down as follows:

Email 52 28%Submission Form 48 26%Letter 36 19%Online 34 18%Custom Form 8 4.5%Telephone 6 3%Petition 2 1%In Person 1 0.5%

56 of the 188 submissions were presented by people or organisations at eight draft Annual Plan hearings.

Those that made a submission to the draft Annual Plan will receive a personalised letter responding to the issues they raised in their submission. A summary of “Responses to Submissions” has also been prepared, which details the Council’s decisions about the issues raised in all of the submissions it received. This is available by visiting the website pncc.govt.nz, emailing [email protected] or calling the Customer Service Centre on 06 356 8199.

• Cycling in general - 15 submitters commented: most ask for additional cycle lanes throughout the City, some ask for better provision of on-road cycling facilities, and some ask for improved infrastructure.

The Council has set aside funding to investigate route options for a shared pathway from the City to Bunnythorpe (ID 1032, page 46).

The Council will bring forward funding from future years for the shared pathway between Fitzherbert Avenue Bridge and Linton, so as to allow for more of the cycleway to be completed sooner (ID 977, page 47).

The cycle/pedestrian pathway along the Manawatū River from Ashhurst to Riverside Drive is no longer conditional on sale of land (ID 235, page 47).

56 submitters commented: More opposed to the use of fluoride in water than those in support.

The Council is waiting for the outcome of the High Court appeal. It has set aside funding to provide for a single non-fluoridated water dispensing tap in the City (ID 970, page 58).

12 submitters commented: Mixed comments, some support The Square as a permanent site, some oppose The Square, and some want Council to progress on a final decision.

The decision on a permanent facility is pending completion of the review of bus services being undertaken by Horizons Regional Council. The budget allocation in the 2014/15 year will enable the Council to complete works for the interim terminal in keeping with the Council's Urban Design principles. The use of The Square for an interim terminal will provide the opportunity to assess its suitability and will be considered along with other options when investigating the permanent facility (ID 243, page 47).

toilets can be built in the next financial year (ID 161,

page 41).

• Funding for City-wide bus stop improvements has

been increased by $35,000 to provide additional bus

shelters (ID 148, page 47).

• Funding of $5,000 has been allocated to investigate

options for reduction or recycling of plastic bags (ID

Year Plan process.


FInAnCIAl stRAteGY And OVeRVIew INTRODUCTION

OVeRVIew

The Council’s Annual Plan covers the period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015. It incorporates operating and capital expenditure for the period for the core Council entity - consolidated statements have not been prepared to include subsidiaries. In this section financial information is provided at a summary level but more detailed information for each Activity and Group of Activities is included throughout the document.

Total operating expense is forecast at $114 million and total

capital expenditure is $41.8 million including renewals of

$19.6 million.

Average residential rates for 2014/15 will be $2,140 per

year ($41.15 per week).

FInAnCIAl stRAteGY

The 10 Year Plan includes the Council’s overall Financial

Strategy which comprises the following elements:

• Making sure the Council’s long term f inancial

position is sustainable

• Recognising the principles of intergenerational

equity when considering its approach to funding

• Managing debt

• Looking after the City’s infrastructure provided by

previous generations for the use of current and

future generations

• Leaving financial capacity for future generations

so they are capable of funding unanticipated high

priority programmes

• Taking account of ability to pay over the longer term

• Having robust systems and processes.

Consistent with the Financial Strategy and its associated funding and financial policies, this Annual Plan achieves the following:

• In general terms maintains the current level of service for each of the Council activities

• An ability to maintain the condition of the City’s assets though there is only minimum provision for unforeseen events

• Forecast net debt at 30 June 2015 of $133.9m - $25.5m less than assumed in the 10 Year Plan (based on a forecast balance at 1 July 2014 of $116.3m)

• An increase in the total rates requirement for 2014/15 of 3.8% compared with a forecast requirement of 5.5% in the 10 Year Plan.

To provide a degree of certainty to ratepayers the Financial Strategy sets limits on rate increases throughout the term of the 10 Year Plan. In addition it sets limits on what the Council considers to be sustainable levels of debt.

The financial information contained in the Annual Plan is a forecast for the purposes of Public Benefit Entity (PBE) Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 42. This information may not be appropriate for purposes other than those described. It has been prepared on the basis of assumptions (refer to Significant Forecasting Assumptions section on page 65) as to future events that the Council reasonably expects to occur, associated with the actions

it reasonably expects to take, at the date the forecast was prepared. The actual results are likely to vary from the information presented and may vary materially depending upon the circumstances that arise during the period. The Annual Plan has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice and the Council’s accounting policies are outlined in a separate section (page 67).

The Funding Impact Statements in section 2 (pages 84-90) have been prepared in accordance with the Local Government (Financial Reporting and Prudence) Regulations 2014. The regulations are not consistent with generally accepted accounting practice.

Rates revenue is included net of any remissions granted under the Council’s Rates Remission Policy. Remissions of $0.25 million have been assumed.

Metered water revenue is now required to be classified as part of ‘rates revenue’ rather than ‘other operating revenue’. Budget 2013/14, 10 Year Plan 2014/15 and Annual Plan 2014/15 figures have been revised to reflect this requirement.

Legislation states that councils are required to operate a ‘balanced budget’ i.e. income must equal or exceed expenditure (and expenditure must include non-cash items such as depreciation).

However if a Council determines that it is prudent not to have a ‘balanced budget’ (i.e. an operating surplus is not required), it must make a formal decision to that effect.

The decision must be a prudent one and have included considerations of levels of service and the useful lifespan of assets.

There are grounds for not having a surplus every year to avoid building up unnecessary cash reserves. Council’s asset management plans ensure that the Council is appropriately planning for renewals and its financial strategy is to make adequate provision to fund renewals from rates revenue.

The Council’s prospective Statement of Comprehensive Income (page 14) shows that after including depreciation expense of $25.866m contributing to total operating expenditure of $113.989m there is a non-cash operating deficit of $6.625m projected and a minor net surplus of $74,000.

However, in line with its asset management plans, Council is funding $19.6m (page 20) for capital renewals in 2014/15.

These forecast financial statements were authorised for issue by Palmerston North City Council on 23 June 2014.

Palmerston Nor th Cit y Council is responsible for these forecast f inancial statements, including the appropriateness of the assumptions underlying the forecast financial statements and all other disclosures.

Because the figures are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, it may appear that they do not add up, but the total represents the sum of the individual forecast amounts.[1] Based on September 2013 BERL local government cost indicator of 2.5% and a rating

base growth assumption of 0.1%.[2] 11.7% if metered water revenue excluded from rates revenue.

SECTION 1 IMPLEMENTING THE 10 YEAR PLAN GROUP OF ACTIVITIES Group of Activities introduction


The Council provides a wide range of services and facilities for people living in Palmerston North. These services and facilities - called Activities - help to make Palmerston North a vibrant, caring, innovative and sustainable city. They include things like roading and parking, civil defence, libraries, parks, sport and recreation, and customer services.

We have 19 Activities. This section explains what we plan to do in each Activity during Year Three of the 10 Year Plan (2014/15) and, on average, what it is expected to cost ratepayers. For comparative purposes it shows the Annual Plan budget for 2013/14 and the 10 Year Plan for 2014/15. These f igures have been adjusted where necessary as indicated.

The four central pillars of this diagram show the main services that the Council provides directly to City residents and organisations. They are grouped here in these four areas to reflect the sustainable development approach to community outcomes of which the activity relates, being: social, economic, leisure and environmental.

Tying these pillars together at the top is Council ’s leadership and direction setting. These make sure that the Council is doing the right things within the four main areas and has got appropriate balance between them.

Supporting them at the bottom are Council’s support services - things like human resources, financial systems, information systems and customer services.

The full 10 Year Plan explains why the Council has grouped the Activities together and how they contribute to the Council’s Vision and Goals. It also contains information on what people expect from the Council and what the Council provides.

For a copy of the 10 Year Plan you can visit the Council’s website click on www.pncc.govt.nz/10yearplan/, contact our Customer Services Centre on 06 356 8199, or email [email protected]

rounding

Because the figures are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, it sometimes appears that they do not add up, but the total represents the sum of the individual forecast amounts.

operating programmes

Individual operating programmes occasionally generate additional revenue streams for the Council. For this reason, the figures shown in relation to the programme reflect the

planned net amount that the Council will fund from rates.

In the Summary Activity Financial Statements the revenue

and expenses from the programme are included in the

relevant categories, along with all the other revenue and

expenses to fund the Activity.

capital programmes

Since individual capital programmes result in the Council

creating an asset, the total cost is shown in the programme

schedules. The total of all budgeted external funding for

all capital programmes within an Activity is deducted

from what is shown as the ‘Total’ to show what the Council

plans to contribute (shown as ‘Funded by Council [Rates

and Borrowing])’.

programme descriptions

For a more detailed description of the programmes, see

our website www.pncc.govt.nz/draftannualplan/ or ask

for a copy through the Customer Services Centre on

06 356 8199.

information and main reason for change

Where a programme has changed from the 10 Year

Plan, a reason has been noted. Some of the major

programmes are planned over several years, so this is noted

where relevant.
