FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: 31 DECEMBER 2017_____________________________________________________________________

1. Report Summary :

To provide Council with a financial performance update for the six month period ending 31 December 2017.

2. Recommendation/draft resolution:

That this report be received for information and discussion.

3. Analysis and Discussion

3.1 Statement of Financial Performance

Operating Result Council has budgeted for a half yearly deficit of ($1,245,000). The actual result is a

deficit of ($1,598,000) which is an unfavourable difference of $353,000. Analysis of the half yearly result is detailed below.

Operating Revenue Overall operating revenue totals $10.5 million compared to a budget of $10.4

million. The significant variance items are within subsidies and grants revenue; being DWC Economic Development Fund $150,000 unbudgeted and NZTA subsidy $112,000 over budget. These are offset by Investment Revenue under budget by $69,000, timing of metered water consumption $58,000 under budget and a number of smaller variances.

Operating Expenditure Operating expenditure totals $12.1 million compared to a budget of $11.6

million. The total unfavourable variance is $500,000 and includes recognition of the book loss on Derivative Contracts of $183,000; which is directly related to market interest rate movements since 1 July 2017. Other significant variances are the DWC Economic Development Fund payments $150,000 unbudgeted and Westport Water electricity over budget $80,000.

3.2 Statement of Financial Position Net debt (being external debt less term deposits) has remained stable since the

end of the last financial year. However, debt is expected increase by the end of the

Page 11: AGENDA - Buller Districtbullerdc.govt.nz/.../FA-Agenda-Mar_18-PUBLIC-COPY.pdf · - Manager Corporate Services ... Water Westport electricity and Punakaiki maintenance ... The quarterly

Page 9Finance & Audit Committee

financial year to fund some of Council’s significant capital projects including the Westport Water Supply tunnel repairs.

3.3 Cash Flow Statement Net operating cash flow of $2.3 million remains positive during the six months

to 31 December 2017. This was offset by fixed asset purchases of $2.1 million. Overall Council’s cash position increased by $0.3 million since 1 July 2017.

4.0 Dashboard - Non Financial Performance Measures

4.1 Background A well balanced reporting system will include both financial and non-financial

measures. Ideally non -performance reporting measures should provide information on key risk areas for Council to enable it to more effectively manage those risks.

The table of non- performance measures was developed to help monitor key risk areas of Council and to help monitor organisational efficiency within Council.

5.0 Considerations

5.1 Strategic impact The quarterly financial reports provide an overview of Council’s financial

performance and position during the financial year. This allows Council to monitor trends and evaluate progress against the strategies, financial budgets and service delivery adopted in the 2015/25 Long Term Plan and subsequent 2017/18 Annual Plan.

Page 12: AGENDA - Buller Districtbullerdc.govt.nz/.../FA-Agenda-Mar_18-PUBLIC-COPY.pdf · - Manager Corporate Services ... Water Westport electricity and Punakaiki maintenance ... The quarterly

Page 10 Finance & Audit Committee

5.2 Significance assessment The Significance and Engagement policy sets out the criteria and framework for

a matter or transaction to be deemed significant. The content included in this report is not considered significant for the purpose of public consultation but is an important component of monitoring progress against the 2017/18 Annual Plan.

5.3 Values assessment The Buller District Councils values are: One Team; Community Driven; We Care;

Future Focussed; and Integrity.

A performance reporting system aligns most strongly with Integrity.

Public reporting of Council’s performance against budgets and key performance indicators encourages open and honest discussion and decision making.

5.4 Risk analysis Risk is assessed by taking into account the likelihood of an event occurring and

the result of that event.

Council prepares financial budgets to balance income and spending for each financial year. Budgets are based on the best information available at the time but subsequent financial performance will be affected by events outside Council’s control during the year. Regular monitoring of financial performance reduces the risk of financial pressure on Council because income and expenditure variances are identified early and mitigating actions can be put in place as required.

5.5 Policy / legal considerations The Local Government Act (2002) and associated regulation govern the activities

of Buller Council including preparation of Long Term and Annual Plans, financial prudence requirements and annual financial reporting.

The terms of reference of Finance and Audit Committee include monitoring financial performance to budgets.

5.6 Tangata whenua considerations Not applicable.

5.7 Views of those affected Council’s financial budgets are consulted on with the community during Long Term

and Annual Plan processes.

5.8 Costs Because this report is for information purposes it does not generate activity or any

associated costs.

5.9 Benefits The benefits of a quarterly financial reporting regime include early identification of

budget variances and intervention measures at a Council wide level.

5.10 Media / publicity There are no media or publicity opportunities with this report.

INVESTMENTS AND BORROWINGS: FEBRUARY 2018_____________________________________________________________________

REPORT SUMMARYThis report summarises Councils cash investments and borrowings for the month ended February 2018, interest earned for the period from 1 July 2017 to 28 February 2018 and policy compliance.

RECOMMENDATION/DRAFT RESOLUTIONThat the report be received for information.

ISSUES AND DISCUSSION

InvestmentsInvestments have decreased by $0.6 million in total from the last report circulated to the end of December 2017. This is mainly due to the effect of the rates billing cycle and monthly creditor payment obligations. The trading account closing balance is $1,469,700. This relatively high end of month balance is the result of rates instalment three falling due on 28 February.

Interest RevenueInterest revenue to the end of February 2018 is $678,734 compared to a budget of $667,144. Council will continue to reinvest term investment funds at the most favourable interest rate when deposits are up for renewal. There are often opportunities to take advantage of bank pricing differences to maximise returns even in time of low interest rates.

Borrowings and Net Debt PositionTotal borrowings have reduced gradually as the EECA loan is paid down, with a current balance of $23,450,000.

Net debt (borrowings less term investments) has increased to $6,651,805 from the $6,072,000 balance in October due to the movement in investments and the trading account balance.

Considerations

1. Strategic impact It is important that Council retains suitable cash holdings and credit facilities to

ensure its activities and capital projects are able to be funded in a timely and affordable manner.

2. Significance assessment The significance policy sets out the criteria and framework for a matter or transaction

to be deemed significant. The content included in this report is not considered significant because the matters disclosed are of a routine nature, and not large in terms of total assets and total annual operations of council.

3. Values assessment � The Buller District Councils values are: One Team; Community Driven; We Care; Future Focussed; and Integrity.

� Treasury management functions and reporting align most strongly with the values of Future Focussed and Integrity.

� Consideration of current and future cash requirements and intergenerational equity are required when managing cash deposits and credit facilities.

� Public reporting of investments and borrowings encourages open and honest discussion and decision making.

4. Risk analysis � Risk is assessed by taking into account the likelihood of an event occurring and

the result of that event. � Cash flow management is an integral part of ensuring Council is able to deliver the services and projects it has committed to in successive Long Term and Annual Plans.

� This risk is mitigated by establishing policies and procedures, engaging staff to manage investment and borrowings and regular reporting to Council to ensure high level oversight.

5. Policy / legal considerations � The Local Government Act (2002) and associated regulations prescribe prudent

financial management and nationwide benchmarks. The financial prudence benchmarks are now compulsory sections included in Council Long Term/Annual Plans and Annual Reports.

� Council’s Investment Policy and Treasury Policy govern the management of cash assets and borrowings.

6. Tangata whenua considerations None identified

7. Views of those affected Council’s financial strategies, investment levels and borrowing projections are

included in the Long Term Plan and Annual Plan consultation processes.

8. Costs There are no extraordinary costs relating to investments and borrowings.

9. Benefits The benefits of structured Treasury management include risk minimisation, prudent

cash management and long term financial stability.

10. Media / publicity None identified.

7. COMPLIANCE WITH INVESTMENT POLICY

All term deposits are held with New Zealand Registered banks with no more than $10 million with any one institution. The terms and maturity dates of investments are spread to minimise Council’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations while still aiming to optimise interest earned.

Council has approved the investment in NBS which sees us in breach of the Treasury Management Policy. This breach will continue as investments mature and are rolled over.

Current borrowings are in compliance with the limits specified in Council's Treasury Policy.

Investments are in breach of Councils Treasury Management Policy in respect that there is more than 10% of the portfolio invested in a Building Society. Council ratified this breach via resolution to obtain ongoing sponsorship proceeds for the NBS Theatre.

CAPITAL INCOME AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE REPORT_____________________________________________________________________

1. REPORT SUMMARY

This report presents a high level overview of the annual budget and projected end of year totals for capital income and capital expenditure. This report is presented for information and monitoring purposes.

The following (two) extract pages provide further detail of the capital income and expenditure for the year to date.

There are not any issues that require a decision Council to progress the collection of capital income or utilisation of capital expenditure processes which are underway and ongoing by Council staff.

2. RECOMMENDATION/DRAFT RESOLUTION

That the report is accepted for information purposes.

3. ISSUES & DISCUSSION

This report is presented to Council to monitor capital income and expenditure movements.

Council requires a high level overview of the capital works progress of Buller District

Council. This information, when taken in conjunction with all other aspects of the financial results provides a full view of the financial performance and financial position of Buller District Council at 31 December 2017.

3.1 Capital Income

Community Services capital funding includes the NBS sponsorship agreement which is in place until March 2019 and the Pulse Energy Recreation Centre sponsorship agreements which are in place until April 2022.

The Roading and Urban Development program involves negotiation with NZTA for agreed works programmes and associated subsidies. The budget of $1.16m as set in the Buller District Council Annual Plan has a variance with NZTA’s funding budget because it is expected BDC will receive $274k additional funding if all the capital works are completed by year end. This additional funding offsets the funding variances in the prior two years which saw less NZTA funding received

Page 26: AGENDA - Buller Districtbullerdc.govt.nz/.../FA-Agenda-Mar_18-PUBLIC-COPY.pdf · - Manager Corporate Services ... Water Westport electricity and Punakaiki maintenance ... The quarterly

Page 24 Finance & Audit Committee

than budgeted for. The timing of NZTA income received correlates to the capital expenditure incurred which is generally completed during February to April when weather conditions are more favourable for this type of activity, so we expect to see the largest portion of work being completed in the summer months and into the later part of the financial year.

The Water project for Waimangaroa has been held up while an appropriate bore site option is decided. The approved subsidy for this project will be available for drawdown once the scheme is completed which may fall into the next financial year. The Ngakawau Hector drinking water project and subsidy income has not progressed as planned and receipt of capital funding for this project has not been budgeted for.

Property, Amenities and Reserves includes a budget of $200,000 Government funding for the Fox River Toilets. The actual subsidy to be received is expected to be $255,160.

3.2 Capital Expenditure

Airport capital expenditure is over budget due to the purchase of a mower which was unbudgeted. It is expected the costs will be somewhat offset by lower mower maintenance costs for the remainder of the year.

Community Services expenditure includes library books, library furniture and NBS theatre equipment. It is expected the expenditure will meet budget.

Environmental Services expenditure includes two items which are unbudgeted, including some necessary communication assets for Civil Defence.

Property, Amenities and Reserves expenditure includes budgets for the Punakaiki Community Centre, cemetaries, new public toilets at Fox River, $70,000 for the sea wall at Punakaiki Beach Camp and sundry capital for Council buildings. Of these, it is expected $100,000 may not be required for Punakaiki Community Centre as there is further planning and community input required before this project proceeds. There is also $80,000 that will be incurred for the Clocktower. The two public toilets are expected to cost more than budget, however this is offset in full by a subsidy being received.

Water projects are closely monitored. It is expected the Westport water supply tunnel repairs will be completed by the first quarter of 2018/2019 financial year, so we have indicated the deferral of $2.6m of budgeted expenditure in the attached schedule. It is also expected that the Waimangaroa water supply will not progress until later in the year, therefore the associated costs and income have been deferred until the next financial year.

4. CONSIDERATIONS

4.1. Strategic impact

The capital income & capital expenditure report provides an overview on the provision of capital expenditure projects and helps readers to understand if Councils’ strategic position taken in the last long term plan (where it was agreed to minimise rates increases and limit capital expenditure to those assets that could be used as a springboard for District economic growth) is being met.

The provision of capital projects within timeframes and approved budgets provides

Page 27: AGENDA - Buller Districtbullerdc.govt.nz/.../FA-Agenda-Mar_18-PUBLIC-COPY.pdf · - Manager Corporate Services ... Water Westport electricity and Punakaiki maintenance ... The quarterly

Page 25Finance & Audit Committee

a measure against this core strategic priority and its probable long term impact on our community.

4.2. Significance assessment

The significance and engagement policy sets out the criteria and framework for a matter or transaction to be deemed significant. The content included in this report is not considered significant by nature as value as Council’s capital program is integral to service provision.

4.3. Risk analysis

Risk is assessed by taking into account the likelihood of an event occurring and the result of that event.

Capital projects are perceived to have some greater than usual potential to place council at risk as the funds involved are usually significant. The project may be an irregular or unusual kind, therefore the costings may need to be revised as the work progresses. The scale of capital projects may result in project delays which result on Council not delivering the assets or services as envisioned in Long Term or Annual Plans.

This risk is mitigated by engaging staff to monitor and regularly report on the projects therefore acting on any issues that arise early on, and to ensure project progress is well understood by staff and governance.

4.4. Policy / legal considerations

The Local Government Act 2002 governs the activities of Buller District Council and sets out the requirement for consulting on the annual plan and long term plan to agree the budget and the key performance indicators with the community.

This report assists with two key purposes of that act (located at section 3) stating the purpose of the act is to promote the accountability of local authorities to their communities, and provide for local authorities to play a broad role in meeting the current and future needs of their communities for good-quality local infrastructure, local public services, and performance of regulatory functions.

4.5. Values The Buller District Council values are: we care, integrity, one team, community

driven and future focussed. This report aligns with those values as it presents information about the capital projects for our community.

4.6 Tangata whenua consultation considerations

The contents of the report are not a matter requiring consultation with Tangata whenua.

4.7 Views of those affected

Council’s capital projects are consulted on with the community during Long Term and Annual Plan processes.

4.8 Costs

There are no extraordinary costs for the capital projects predicted at this stage of

Page 28: AGENDA - Buller Districtbullerdc.govt.nz/.../FA-Agenda-Mar_18-PUBLIC-COPY.pdf · - Manager Corporate Services ... Water Westport electricity and Punakaiki maintenance ... The quarterly

Page 26 Finance & Audit Committee

the financial year. The amounts which may need to be carried forward to the next financial year are identified so they can be included in the next annual plan budget.

4.9 Benefits

The benefits of reviewing the capital income and expenditure periodically are the capital projects and their funding are monitored at a Council wide level.

4.10 Media / publicity

There are no media or publicity opportunities with this report.

FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE

14 MARCH 2018

Agenda Item No 7

Prepared by - Lynn Brooks - Management Accountant

Reveiwed by - Dean Phibbs - Manager Corporate Services

DEBT RECOVERY REPORT_____________________________________________________________________

1. REPORT SUMMARY

This report presents and classifies the outstanding balances of rates and sundry debtors as at December for monitoring and information purposes.

There are not any customers with arrears that require a decision of Council to progress the debt recovery processes which are underway and continuous.

2. RECOMMENDATION/DRAFT RESOLUTION

The recommendation is this report be accepted for information purposes.

3. ISSUES AND DISCUSSION

This report is presented to provide monitoring information on debt trends for Council.

Council requires a high level overview of the debt owed to Buller District Council. This information, when taken in conjunction with all other aspects of the financial results provides a full view of the financial performance and financial position of Buller District Council at 31 December 2017.

Rates debt follows an expected pattern whereby every third month, when the rates are accrued the rate debt increases, then it decreases for the following two months. The total rates debt at December 2017 is slightly lower compared to December 2016. Comparing the amount of serious default as a proportion of total debt at December 2017 to December 2015 and 2016, this has reduced. Rates debt has decreased over the total timeframe reported in the graph.

Looking into the detail further, the “long term serious monitored” (which is the red category in the graph) is showing downward movement in the past three months. The trend was that this category was growing slightly over time, but this has been curbed . We are closely monitoring the debt trends and applied many different approaches to combat current debt so that it does not reach the long term and at external debt collection stage as well as worked closely on target cases. The use of Facebook and text messaging continues to provide some positive results.

Sundry Debtors decline over the timeframe shown in the graph. The serious default category indicated in red in the graph is due to non-payment of leasehold property.

Page 32: AGENDA - Buller Districtbullerdc.govt.nz/.../FA-Agenda-Mar_18-PUBLIC-COPY.pdf · - Manager Corporate Services ... Water Westport electricity and Punakaiki maintenance ... The quarterly

Page 30 Finance & Audit Committee

This continues to be an area of focus and increasing collection measures. Arrears overall are lesser during the nine month period to September 2017 compared to the last two prior years. This can be attributed to one significant sponsorship debtor being transferred to Councils’ CCO as direct sponsorship, and some greater debt collection measures in place.

4. CONSIDERATIONS

4.1 Strategic impact The debt recovery report provides feedback on the effectiveness of the strategic

direction of Council and the interaction between Council and our District economy. .

In the last long term plan it was agreed to minimise rates increases and limit new services or assets to only those that could be used as a springboard for District economic growth.

The change in Council customers’ debt levels and their classification provide a measure against this core strategic priority and provides an overview of its impact on our community.

This report also assists with understanding the current local economic climate along with the impacts of Council charges, and the community ability and willingness to meet those charges.

4.2 Significance assessment The Significance and Engagement Policy is written in accordance with The Local

Government Act 2002 (LGA 2002) section 76AA. This part of the Act sets the general approach to determine if a proposal or decision is significant requiring the Council to make judgements about the likely impact of that proposal or decision on:

a) The District; b) The persons who are likely to be particularly affected by, or interested in, the

proposal or decision; c) The financial impact of the proposal or decision on the Council’s overall

resources; and d) The capacity of, the Council to perform its role and carry out its activities, now

and in the future.

The Significance and Engagement Policy sets out the criteria and framework for a matter or transaction to be deemed significant. The content included in this report is not considered significant because the matters disclosed are of a routine nature, and not large in terms of total assets and total annual operations of Council.

4.3 Risk analysis Risk is assessed by taking into account the likelihood of an event occurring and

the result of that event.

When credit is extended by Council a risk arises that the amounts owing are not recovered when due, or that over time total debt owing grows to an unsustainable level and puts pressure on cash flow.

This risk is mitigated by engaging staff to monitor and recover debt therefore acting on indebtedness early on which yields better results, and regular reporting to Council to ensure oversight.

Page 33: AGENDA - Buller Districtbullerdc.govt.nz/.../FA-Agenda-Mar_18-PUBLIC-COPY.pdf · - Manager Corporate Services ... Water Westport electricity and Punakaiki maintenance ... The quarterly

Page 31Finance & Audit Committee

4.4 Values The Buller District Values are: Integrity, Future Focussed, Community Driven, One

Team and We Care. Monitoring debt and undertaking debt collection processes most closely aligns to the values of integrity and future focussed.

4.5 Policy/legal considerations The collection of rates debt is enforceable under the Local Government (Rating)

Act 2002. Other legislation dealing with credit extended by Council and debt recovery include the Property Law Act 2007, Residential Tenancies Act 1986 and the Resource Management Act 1991. The Financial Delegations Policy, Treasury Management Policy and Rates Remission Policies also apply to the collection of Council debt.

4.6 Tangata whenua consultation considerations The contents of the report are not a matter requiring consultation with tangata

whenua.

4.7 View of those affected It is equitable for all our ratepayers, the public and individual debtors that all

amounts outstanding should be collected through consistent processes.

4.8 Costs There are no extraordinary costs for debt recovery and the costs for continuing

debt recovery are included in the annual plan budget.

4.9 Benefits The benefits to collection of debt is the cash flow of Council is maintained. There is

also fairness and equity for all ratepayers and service consumers in that everyone is paying their portion of the cost.

4.10 Media/publicity There are no media or publicity opportunities with the content of this report.
