Groups of Activities
Economic Development
3. Project 179 –
Economic Development
3.1. Seek $30,000 to be
carried forward from 179-2380 (consultancy). $20,000 for Massey related work
and $10,000 for China related activities. The Massey initiative did not
start until Feb 2013. This $20,000 carry forward allows anticipated project
commitments to be funded. The initiative links to building a foundation of
R&D in the region, which leverages RWSS. The China related activities
carry forward of $10,000 supports a collaborative Business Hawke’s Bay
initiative involving other councils and private sector aimed at growing
international trade. The initiative has been slow to develop but is now being
driven with strong governance and will progress early in the 2013/14 year. The
initiative links to value added food and RWSS supply chain.
Effect on Plan
3.2. An increase in
funding for project 179-2380 of $30,000 in 2013/14 funded from unexpended funds
in 2012/13.
Recommendation
3.3. That the Council
approves the carry forward in project 179-2380 of $30,000 from 2012/13 to
2013/14 to cover costs associated with Massey and China related activities.
Strategic Planning
4. Project 192 –
Strategy and Planning
4.1. Seek $77,000 to be
carried forward from 192-2380 (consultancy). $62,000 for Biodiversity Strategy
Development and $15,000 for work associated with the development of Plan Change
for Natural Hazards. Progress on the Biodiversity Strategy to date has
involved the establishment of a steering group and external working group.
Strategy vision and objectives have been drafted and discussed by the Steering
Group and a review of strategy approaches has been completed and a preferred
approach identified. A regional biodiversity inventory programme is underway.
The majority of the work requiring external resources to deliver the regional
biodiversity strategy will take place in the 13/14 financial year. These
include costs associated with a developing a regional biodiversity inventory,
biodiversity accord and forum. The development of Plan Change for Natural
Hazards has not progressed pending possible changes to legislation. The date
for notification has also been pushed out to July 2014.
Effect on Plan
4.2. An increase in
funding for project 192-2380 of $77,000 in 2013/14 funded from unexpended funds
in 2012/13.
Recommendation
4.3. That the Council
approves the carry forward in project 192-2380 of $77,000 from 2012/13 to
2013/14 to cover costs associated with the development of the Biodiversity
Strategy and plan change for Natural Hazards.
Regional Resources
5. Project 303 – Huatokitoki
5.1. Seek $80,000 to be carried forward
from 303-1225 (income – MPI grants) and $80,000 carried forward from 303-2380
(consultancy) for Huatokitoki research and related activities. The allocation
of funding has not been taken up in the 2012/13 financial year because the
focus (coupled with staff resignations and replacements) has been on the
Tukituki plan change and RWSS related work. This fund will therefore need to be
available during 2013/14 to enable the Huatokitoki to deliver its agreed
research outputs. Note that should Council choose not to carry this money
forward it will be required to be paid back to MPI. It is not available for
return to the general council funding bottom line.
Effect on Plan
5.2. An increase in expense for project
303-2380 of $80,000 in 2013/14 funded by unexpended income for project 303-1225
of $80,000 that was unspent in 2012/13 and carried forward to 2013/14.
Recommendation
5.3. That the Council approves the carry
forward in project 303-2380 of $80,000 from 2012/13 to 2013/14 to cover costs
associated with delivering the final objectives on the Huatokitoki sustainable
farming fund project and also the carry forward from 2012/13 to 2013/14
(project 303-1225) of prepaid revenue of $80,000 from the Ministry of Primary
Industries.
6. Project 310 – Regional Groundwater Research
6.1. Seek $220,000 to be carried forward
from 310-2380 (consultancy) for the groundwater research that was not able to
be completed in the 2012/13 year. The external funds for this project are
required to build a linked surface and groundwater hydrogeological model. The
development of such a model is a critical part of the TANK process and will be
required to inform policy development. The development of the model has
taken longer than anticipated with key modeling staff being focused over the
current year on Tukituki catchment work. While the current year has seen
NIWA join our project with its Waterscapes project the year has largely been
consumed by project planning. Groundwater lysimeters installed this
winter along with concurrent gauging work this summer will provide valuable
data to begin the model development early in the new financial year. This fund
will therefore need to be available during 2013/14 to enable this work to be
completed. Section 36 charges associated with these expenses will also need to
be carried forward to 2013/14. This will equate to 35% of the $220,000 being
$77,000 of income.
Effect on Plan
6.2. An increase in
funding for project 310-2380 of $220,000 in 2013/14 funded from unexpended
funds in 2012/13 and section 36 income of $70,000 carried forward to 2013/14,
this sum not being charged to consent holders in 2012/13.
Recommendation
6.3. That HBRC approves the carry
forward in project 310-2380 of $220,000 from 2012/13 to 2013/14 to cover costs
associated with groundwater research projects and the associated section 36
charges of $70,000 relating to this expenditure from 2012/13 to 2013/14.
7. Project 312 – Regional Surface Water Ecological
7.1. Seek $30,000 to be carried forward
from 312-2380 (consultancy costs) for the surface water research that was not
able to be completed in the 2012/13 year. The cost is related closely to
project 310 and is the water quality component of the surface/groundwater
model. It will be utilised at the time the model development begins. This
fund will therefore need to be available during 2013/14 to enable this work to
be completed. Section 36 charges associated with these expenses will also need
to be carried forward to 2013/14. This will equate to 35% of the $30,000 being
$10,500 of income.
Effect on Plan
7.2. An increase in
funding for project 312-2380 of $30,000 in 2013/14 funded from unexpended funds
in 2012/13 and section 36 income of $10,500 to 2013/14, this sum not being
charged to consent holders in 2012/13.
Recommendation
7.3. That HBRC approves the carry
forward in project 312-2380 of $30,000 from 2012/13 to 2013/14 to cover costs
associated with surface water research projects and the associated section 36
charges of $10,500 relating to this expenditure from 2012/13 to 2013/14.
8. Project 339 – Regional Land Research and Investigations
8.1. Seek a total of $210,000 to be
carried forward from project 339 consisting of $42,000 for aerial
survey/photography, $118,000 for consultancy and $50,000 for external lab costs
for land research that was not able to be completed in the 2012/13 year. The
funding is required for the soils and erosion components of the
surface/groundwater modelling to inform the land use impacts on water quality
aspect of the surface/groundwater model development. It has not occurred
with staff being focused on Tukituki catchment modelling. This fund will
therefore need to be available during 2013/14 to enable this work to be
completed. There are no section 36 charges to carry forward as this is a land
focused project.
Effect on Plan
8.2. An increase in
funding for project 339 of $210,000 in 2013/14 funded from unexpended funds in
2012/13.
Recommendation
8.3. That HBRC approves the carry
forward in project 339 of $210,000 from 2012/13 to 2013/14 to cover costs
associated with regional land research projects.
9. Project 340 – Land Monitoring
9.1. Seek a total of $35,000 to be
carried forward from project 340 consisting of $10,000 for aerial
survey/photography, $25,000 for consultancy for the soil mapping and erosion
control project. This project is new for the region and vital for catchment
management and targeted soil erosion control. Improving the quality and
resolution of soil mapping for the region will enable more detailed and
comprehensive modelling work to occur in future to inform policy development.
Staff associated with this work have been focused on the
Tukituki project and so have not yet begun this. This fund will therefore need
to be available during 2013/14 to enable this work to be completed.
Effect on Plan
9.2. An increase in
funding for project 340 of $35,000 in 2013/14 funded from unexpended funds in
2012/13.
Recommendation
9.3. That HBRC approves the carry
forward in project 340 of $35,000 from 2012/13 to 2013/14 to cover costs
associated with land monitoring projects.
10. Project 341 – Air Quality
10.1. Seek a total of $20,000 to be
carried forward from project 341-2380 (consultancy costs) for the air quality
control project. This project is underway but will not be completed this
financial year. This fund will therefore need to be available during 2013/14
to enable this work to be completed.
Effect on Plan
10.2. An increase in
funding for project 341 of $20,000 in 2013/14 funded from unexpended funds in
2012/13.
Recommendation
10.3. That HBRC approves the carry forward
in project 341 of $20,000 from 2012/13 to 2013/14 to cover costs associated
with air quality projects.
11. Project 385 – Regional Park Reserves
Regional Resources
11.1. Seek a total of
$500,000 to be carried forward from 385-2385 (contractors). $400,000 for the
installation of new handrails (inner and outer) on the pedestrian crossing
facility on Black Bridge over the Tukituki River at Haumoana to ensure a safe
cycle and walking corridor on this busy bridge. This work programme has been
scheduled for a start in early July 2013. $100,000 to be carried forward for
the completion of Hawke’s Bay Trails including information signage, distance
and direction signage, planting, seating and other miscellaneous work. This
work programme is expected to run from July to September 2013
Effect on Plan
11.2. An increase in
funding for project 385-2385 of $500,000 in 2013/14 funded from unexpended
funds in 2012/13. This project is fully funded from external loan funding.
Recommendation
11.3. That the Council
approves the carry forward in project 385-2385 of $500,000 from 2012/13 to
2013/14 to cover costs associated with the installation of new handrails on the
pedestrian crossing facility on Black Bridge and to cover costs associated with
the completion of Hawke’s Bay Trails, noting that this expenditure is funded
from loan raising.
12. Project 385 – Regional Park Reserves
(Other Open Space Projects)
12.1. Seek $900,000 to be
carried forward from 385-2650 (land acquisition). It is anticipated that
further open space projects will be submitted to Council for funding in the
2013/14 year and beyond, and accordingly it is requested that the $900,000
remaining be carried forward to assist with the funding of these projects.
Effect on Plan
12.2. There is no effect
on public good funding as this carry forward request of $900,000 is fully
funded from loan funding.
Recommendation
12.3. That the Council
approves the carry forward in project 385-2650 of $900,000 from 2012/13 to
2013/14 to provide funding for future open space projects and also the
corresponding loan be carried forward of $900,000 from 2012/13 to 2013/14.
Regulation
13. Project 460 – Navigational Aids and Regulations
13.1. A paper was presented to Council on
20 March 2013 covering a proposed increase in Harbourmaster liability
insurance. The request was for a further $80,000 of insurance premium so that
Council had an additional $75m insurance cover (cover increasing from $25m to
$100m). Council approved in principle to this proposal but the funding source
was to be determined prior to the adoption of the Annual Plan 2013/14.
Discussions have been ongoing with Napier Port in order to agree a contribution
for this cost. Napier Port has agreed to contribute $30,000 towards the
insurance costs for the next two years. Staff will be exploring other long
term insurance options with other Council’s to try and reduce costs across the
country. The remaining $50,000 of premium is proposed to be funded from
general funding.
Effect on Plan
13.2. An increase in
funding for Harbourmaster liability insurance of $80,000. Of which $30,000
will be funded from a contribution from Napier Port and $50,000 funded by an
increase in Council’s general funded deficit for 2013/14.
Recommendation
13.3. That HBRC approves
the expenditure of an extra $80,000 in premium for Harbourmaster liability
insurance and provide for additional revenue of $30,000 contribution from
Napier Port.
Emergency Management
14. Project 712 - Readiness and Response
14.1. Seek $33,000 to be
carried forward from 712-2750 (other direct costs) to complete the workspace
fit out and equipment purchases for the new CDEM Management Officer (Readiness)
and CDEM Administration Support roles which were commissioned by Council for
the 2013/14 year.
Effect on Plan
14.2. An increase in
funding for project 712-2750 of $33,000 in 2013/14 funded from unexpended funds
in 2012/13.
Recommendation
14.3. That the Council
approves the carry forward in project 712-2750 of $33,000 from 2012/13 to
2013/14 to provide funding for workspace fit out and equipment purchases for
the new CDEM staff.
15. Project 713 - Civil
Defence and Emergency Management Coordination
15.1. Seek $27,000 to be
carried forward from 713-2395 (contributions) to continue with the Lifelines
programme in 2013/14 which was not able to be completed in 2012/13. CDEM levy
other Councils and Utility providers to contribute to the Lifeline programme
and the funds are used for essential infrastructure and resilience projects.
Effect on Plan
15.2. An increase in
funding for project 713-2395 of $27,000 in 2013/14 funded from unexpended funds
in 2012/13.
Recommendation
15.3. That the Council
approves the carry forward in project 713-2395 of $27,000 from 2012/13 to
2013/14 to provide funding for the Lifeline programme.
16. Project 713 - Civil
Defence and Emergency Management Coordination
16.1. Seek $25,000 to be
carried forward from 713-2750 (other direct costs) budget to continue the Group
Plan process in 2013/14. This plan is the critical strategic document on Civil
Defence for the Region. The funds carried forward are to be used to fund a
Group Plan Coordinator to bring this plan together.
Effect on Plan
16.2. An increase in
funding for project 713-2750 of $25,000 in 2013/14 funded from unexpended funds
in 2012/13.
Recommendation
16.3. That the Council
approves the carry forward in project 713-2750 of $25,000 from 2012/13 to
2013/14 to continue the Group Plan process.
17. Project 715 – Flood
Risk Assessment
17.1. Seek $25,000 to be
carried forward from 715-2380 (consultancy) budget. The aim of this
project is to continue to improve Council’s knowledge and understanding of
flood risks from the areas exposed to severe weather events and the effects of
runoff onto low lying land and into the network of drains streams and rivers of
the region. The effects on flooding patterns and inundation within the region
due to urbanisation and land use changes and also due to climatic conditions
are an important part of the flood risk assessments.
17.2. By having such knowledge and
understanding of potential flooding in the region, Council is able to
accurately and rapidly respond to enquiries regarding flooding and the
potential impact of climate change on that flooding, effectively manage flood
events when they occur.
17.3. The 2012/13 annual plan provided for
external input of $45,000 to this project. This will not be spent as
engineering staff have been fully committed to other projects. During the
year discussions have been ongoing with both Hastings District Council and
Napier City Council engineers regarding progressing this work to better define
flood risk and approaches that will help mitigate that risk. Staff
believe that it this is important work and wish to progress it during the
2013/14 year. Accordingly staff seek to carry forward $25,000 of money
unspent in the 2012/13 year to enable this to be done in the 2013/14 year.
Effect on Plan
17.4. An increase in
funding for project 715-2380 of $25,000 in 2013/14 funded from unexpended funds
in 2012/13.
Recommendation
17.5. That the Council
approves the carry forward in project 715-2380 of $25,000 from 2012/13 to
2013/14 to continue the flood risk assessment programme.
Transport
18. Project 797 – Regional Land Transport Strategy
Regional Resources
18.1. Seek $30,000 to be
carried forward from 797-2380 (consultancy) for Council to commence the
production of the new Regional Land Transport Plan during 2013/14. The
allocation of funding has not been taken up in the 2012/13 financial year
because the New Zealand Transport Agency had previously advised Council they
needed to produce a “One Network Plan” – this is now no longer the case and new
legislation requires Council to produce a new Regional Land Transport Plan
prior to 30 June 2015. 50% of these costs are to be charged to NZTA therefore
$15,000 of NZTA income will also be carried forward.
Effect on Plan
18.2. An increase in
funding for project 797-2380 of $30,000 in 2013/14 funded from unexpended funds
in 2012/13. This has an effect on expected income from NZTA in the 2012/13
financial year, where $15,000 will no longer be realised. It is anticipated
that there will be a contribution from NZTA of $15,000 in the 2013/14 financial
year.
Recommendation
18.3. That the Council
approves the carry forward in project 797-2380 of $30,000 from 2012/13 to
2013/14 to provide funding for Council to commence production a new Regional
Land Transport Plan and for the carry forward of the associated income of
$15,000 from NZTA.
Governance and Community Engagement
19. Project 840 – Community Representation and Regional Leadership
19.1. Seek additional funding of $30,000
for increases in Councillor remuneration as set out by the Remuneration
Authority letter dated 30 April 2013. This adjustment to remuneration comes
into effect after the 2013 elections and would run for 38 weeks of the 2013/14
financial year. This provides an additional $30,000 of costs over budgeted
figures assuming that all of the position of responsibility funding pool is
fully allocated.
Effect on Plan
19.2. An increase in
funding for project 840 of $30,000 in 2013/14 will increase Council’s general
funded deficit for 2013/14.
Recommendation
19.3. That HBRC approves the new
expenditure in project 840 of $30,000 to cover costs associated with the
increase in Councillor remuneration as set out by the Remuneration Authority.
20. Project 877 – Specific Regional Projects
Hawke’s Bay Cultural Trust Earthquake Exhibition in Napier Museum
20.1. A sum of $45,000 remains in this
reserve to assist with the funding of the earthquake display in the new Museum
building when completed. This sum is required to be carried forward to the
2013/14 year to be made available to fund enhancements at the earthquake
display on completion of the new Museum building.
Effect on Plan
20.2. An increase in
expenditure during 2013/14 for project 877 of $45,000, to be funded from the
Specific Regional Projects scheme funds which will not now be spent during
2012/13.
Recommendation
20.3. That HBRC approves
the carry forward in project 877001 (cost code 2395) of $45,000 from 2012/13 to
2013/14 to cover costs associated with the funding of further upgrades to the
earthquake exhibition display planned as part of the new Museum building
project.
21. Project 889 – Interest Group Liaison
21.1. Seek $50,000 to be
carried forward from 889-1144 out of the unbudgeted grant received from the
Office of Treaty Settlements for the transition provision for the Regional
Planning Committee. This is being used to fund fees for the Maori
representatives on the Committee, allowances and meeting expenses which were
also unbudgeted. It is suggested to split the $50,000 over the next two years,
$25,000 for 2013/14 and $25,000 for 2014/15 along with the corresponding
expenses of $50,000 over the two years.
Effect on Plan
21.2. An increase in
funding for project 889 of $25,000 in 2013/14 and
2014/15 is offset by increased expenses so there is no effect on the plan.
Recommendation
21.3. That HBRC approves
the carry forward in project 889 of $25,000 from 2012/13 to 2013/14 to
cover costs associated with the Regional Planning Committee, noting that the
remaining $25,000 will be provided for 2014/15.
22. Project 893 – Regional Infrastructure
22.1. Project 893 for
2012/13 includes Council approved contributions to significant regional
community facilities of $1,750,000, made up of $500,000 for the Wairoa
Community Centre upgrade and $1,250,000 for the Te Mata Park Visitor Centre and
Regional Sports Park (Hockey Turf). All of these projects were delayed during
the 2012/13 year and the contributions were not made but are due to require the
funding in the 2013/14 year. The Wairoa Community Centre upgrade is awaiting
confirmation of funding from other entities before the project can begin. The
Te Mata Park Visitor Centre is going through the resource consent process and
the Regional Sports Park (Hockey Turf) is yet to confirm an agreed plan with
specified other parties which is a stipulation of the HBRC funding. These
contributions were to be funded by $1,300,000 loan funding as part of the $7.5m
loan funding for capital projects of regional significance and $450,000 from
the sale of land non-investment account. Seek that the $1,750,000 contributions
be carried forward to the 2013/14 year and that the funding associated with
this is also carried forward to 2013/14.
Effect on Plan
22.2. There is no effect
on public funding for this carry forward request as the $1,750,000 is fully
funded.
Recommendation
22.3. That HBRC approves
the carry forward of contributions in project 893-001 of $1,750,000
(representing $500,000 for the Wairoa Community Centre, $500,000 for a visitor
and education centre at Te Mata Park and $750,000 for Regional Hockey Turf
facilities in Hawke’s Bay) from 2012/13 to 2013/14 and also
the associated loan funding of $1,300,000 and funding from the sale of land
non-investment account of $450,000.
23. Project 913 – Systems Integration Projects
23.1. Seek $30,000 to be
carried forward from 913-2380 (consultancy) for the completion of financial
system enhancements. There has been a full redevelopment of the regulatory
billing solutions which has not been completed during the 2013/14 year. This
is due to the reprioritisation of internal resources and the complexity of the
solution design. The carry forward of $30,000 is required in the 2013/14 year
to complete this project.
Effect on Plan
23.2. An increase in
funding for project 913-2380 of $30,000 in 2013/14 funded from unexpended funds
in 2012/13.
Recommendation
23.3. That the Council
approves the carry forward in project 913-2380 of $30,000 from 2012/13 to
2013/14 to complete the financial systems enhancements.
Capital Expenditure Adjustments
24. Capital Expenditure – Proposed Guppy Road Building Extensions
24.1. The 2012/13 LTP provided $630,000
for the deferred maintenance and extension of the Operations Group building in
Guppy Road. This was to be funded by external loans and the asset replacement
reserve. This project has been deferred during 2012/13 due to management focus
on the RWS and Dalton Street building repairs projects. There is also ongoing
uncertainty over the potential sharing of the premises with DOC and MPI due to
their restructuring. It is recommended that this provision for capital
expenditure and external funding is carried forward to the 2013/14 year where a
full assessment can be made on this project.
Effect on Plan
24.2. There is no effect
on public funding for this carry forward request as the $630,000 is fully
funded.
Recommendation
24.3. That HBRC approves the carry forward
of capital expenditure and external funding for the deferred maintenance and
extension of the Operations Group building in Guppy Road of $630,000 from
2012/13 to 2013/14.
Plant and Equipment
25. Technical Capital - Hydrology
25.1. Seek $50,000 to be carried forward
from 2012/13 Hydrology Technical Capital budget for New River Flow ($20,000)
and Rainfall Stations ($30,000). These capital items were not purchased during
the 2012/13 year due to the focus of staff attention being on the RWS and other
projects. These capital items will be required in the 2013/14 year in order to
carry out those projects.
