1.2     LIVESTREAMING AND RECORDING

This Council Meeting is being livestreamed and recorded. By speaking at the Council Meeting you agree to being livestreamed and recorded. Please ensure that if and when you speak at this Council Meeting that you ensure you are respectful to others and use appropriate language at all times. Orange City Council accepts no liability for any defamatory or offensive remarks or gestures made during the course of this Council Meeting. A recording will be made for administrative purposes and will be available to Councillors.

1.3     Acknowledgement of Country

I would like to acknowledge the Wiradjuri people who are the Traditional Custodians of the Land. I would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present of the Wiradjuri Nation and extend that respect to other Aboriginal Australians who are present.

1.4     Declaration of pecuniary interests, significant non-pecuniary interests and less than significant non-pecuniary interests

The provisions of Chapter 14 of the Local Government Act, 1993 (the Act) regulate the way in which Councillors and designated staff of Council conduct themselves to ensure that there is no conflict between their private interests and their public role.

The Act prescribes that where a member of Council (or a Committee of Council) has a direct or indirect financial (pecuniary) interest in a matter to be considered at a meeting of the Council (or Committee), that interest must be disclosed as soon as practicable after the start of the meeting and the reasons given for declaring such interest.

As members are aware, the provisions of the Local Government Act restrict any member who has declared a pecuniary interest in any matter from participating in the discussion or voting on that matter, and requires that member to vacate the Chamber.

Council’s Code of Conduct provides that if members have a non-pecuniary conflict of interest, the nature of the conflict must be disclosed. The Code of Conduct also provides for a number of ways in which a member may manage non pecuniary conflicts of interest.

Recommendation It is recommended that Councillors now disclose any conflicts of interest in matters under consideration by the Council at this meeting.

I, CR Joanne McRae wish to move the following Notice of Motion at the Council Meeting of 7 November 2019:

 

Motion That a report be brought to Council on the levers available to Council to support Orange CBD businesses.

 

Background

Recently, there has been some back and forth in the media about business rates.

For Council to make informed decisions regarding business rates in Orange, a thorough review of CBD cost factors and potential economic impacts is required.

To support and inform Council in its budget processes, and in preparation for proposed forums with stakeholders, information specific to Orange as well as comparisons with other Local Government areas and their policies is appropriate.

The report should include information on:

·    Map of businesses/premises subject to special business rates 

·    Proportion of Orange businesses paying different rate categories 

·    Number of owner occupied premises paying business rates

·    Other Council service costs 

·    Other levers available to Council (eg parking levy, vacancy tax)

 

Attention is drawn to:

Albury has a CBD promotional levy and parking levy

https://www.alburycity.nsw.gov.au/business/responsibilities/rates-for-business 

 

Newcastle has special business rates on select property owners 

https://www.newcastle.nsw.gov.au/Special-Business-Rates

5       General Reports

RECORD NUMBER:       2019/2277

AUTHOR:                       Jason Cooke, Manager Financial Services    

 

 

EXECUTIVE Summary

This report provides the first quarter review of the 2019/20 - 2022/23 Delivery/Operational Plan, as required under section 403 of the Local Government Act 1993. This report illustrates the progress Council is making on the strategies and tasks identified in its strategic planning documents.

This report also provides a summary of Council’s financial position over the quarter. The Directions (Collaborate, Live, Prosper, Preserve) financial summary tables with the attached Performance Indicators and quarterly review documents have been reviewed and updated and include projects across all three funds (General, Water and Sewer).

Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan

The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “17.2 Collaborate - Ensure financial stability and support efficient ongoing operation”.

Financial Implications

The Quarterly Review has identified variations totalling $426,028 to Council’s adopted budget. The effect of these variations results in Council’s projected year-end consolidated position becoming a minor deficit of $76,916, including capital.

Table 1 below presents Council’s projected year-end result by Direction as identified in the Community Strategic Plan and the Delivery/Operational Plan. It is important to note that all red bracketed numbers in Tables 1-3 below indicate a surplus result for Council.

Material changes to budget in the September quarterly review

Further information on the individual variations proposed as part of this review, which have a material effect on Council’s financial results, has been detailed in Tables 4 to 9 below.

While there are a number of variations detailed in the Tables, the significant contributor to the overall net variation is due to the Southern Lights project which replaces Council’s street lights with modern LED equivalents. With an offsetting saving in electricity charges, an increase in general fund material and contracts budget of $2,300,000 has been added. While the project is funded by an external loan, the expense is accounted for as operating rather than capital due to the fact that the street lights are owned by Essential Energy and not Council.

Service Delivery

The Performance Indicators highlight progress in achieving the strategies and actions set by Council’s Delivery/Operational Plan. The “traffic light” indicators show the status of each task. A green light indicates the task is on track. An amber light suggests some delay and a red light is provided to those tasks that are unable to be achieved. All tasks have a comment that indicates progress.

Other Expenses

The format of the attached financial reports and the financial statements is prescribed.   Council has requested details of the “Other Expenses” element in the statements given the high value of this item. The additional information is provided in Table 10 below. The main change relates to savings on electricity charges due mainly to the Southern Lights project.

Table 10: Details of other expenses

 

 

Review of Income

Figure 1 below provides a snapshot of the split of Council’s income against budget.

Figure 1: Details of Council’s income as a percentage of annual budget as at 30 September (25% through the financial year)

Income streams such as User Charges and Fees and Other Revenues are currently on track as generally their rate of receipt is consistent throughout the year.

As Council’s annual rates are levied in July of each year, this income is almost fully recognised in the first quarter.

 

Other income streams are subject to external influences including interest rates, occurrences of development, or the success of grant applications and as such, it is difficult to ascertain their current performance. These income streams are routinely reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each quarterly review.

On the assumption that all income is received at a constant consistent rate over the year, by the end of the September quarter 25 per cent should have been received. However, given the recognition of almost all rates and annual charges in the first quarter, approximately 48 per cent of revenue should have been received.  The “all income” bar of Figure 1 shows progress is slightly below this expected figure due mainly to the timing of capital grants and contributions still to be received.

Rates and Charges Collection

For the first quarter, a total of $3.57 million (16.97 per cent) remains outstanding for rates and annual charges. For the purposes of comparison, for the same quarter last financial year 17.47 per cent of the amount payable remained outstanding.

 

Figure 2: Outstanding rates Q1 2019/20 vs Q1 2018/19

 

Review of Expenditure

Figure 3 provides a snapshot of the progress of Council’s expenditure.

Figure 3: Details of Council’s expenditure as a percentage of annual budget

 

In general, Council’s routine operational expenses should be incurred at a consistent rate. These include expense groupings such as Employee Costs, Materials and Contracts, Plant Expenses, and Other Expenses. As presented in Figure 3 above, most of these expense groups are slightly below budget. Depreciation ordinarily would be consistent throughout the year, however depreciation is not able to be generated until after the finalisation of the previous year’s financial statements. As at the end of the quarter, these statements were still in the process of being prepared and audited.

Council rates for Council-owned properties are paid in full at the start of the year, however these are a minor component of overall expenses.

On the assumption that all expenses are incurred at a constant consistent rate over the year, by the end of the September quarter 25 per cent should have been paid out. The “all expenditure” bar of Figure 3 shows performance is exceeding this expected figure. This holds true even when depreciation is excluded from the analysis.

 

Financial Performance Indicators

Figures 4 to 6 below represent financial performance against local government industry indicators from the annual financial statements. The charts compare annualised actual performance from 2018/19 against the original 2019/20 budget and the proposed revised 2019/20 budget.

Figure 4: Operating performance ratio

The purpose of the operating performance ratio is to measure the extent to which Council succeeds in containing operating expenditure within operating revenue (excluding capital grants and contributions). The formula is as follows:

(Total continuing operations revenue excluding capital grants and contributions minus operating expenses) divided by (Total continuing operations revenue excluding capital grants and contributions)

 

Reporting this ratio needs a full year’s data in order to be fully comparable. However, the performance to date indicates Council is tracking just in advance of the benchmark but below the 2019/20 original budget due mainly to planned expenditure on the southern lights project. 2018/19 was another exceptional year in terms of performance due to actual operating revenues coming in above budget and actual operating expenditure being below budget.  

 

Figure 5: Own source operating revenue ratio

The purpose of the own source operating revenue ratio is to measure fiscal flexibility by analysing the degree of reliance on external funding sources. The formula is as follows:

(Total continuing operations revenue minus all grants and contributions) divided by

(Total continuing operations revenue inclusive of all grants and contributions)

 

The performance to date indicates Council is tracking just below the benchmark, with an increased level of funding coming from capital grants and contributions for significant projects in 2019/20 when compared to 2018/19.

 

Figure 6: debt service cover ratio

 

The purpose of the debt service cover ratio is to measure the availability of operating cash to service debt including interest, principal and lease payments. The formula is as follows:

(Operating results before capital excluding interest and depreciation) divided by

(Principal repayments from the cashflow statement plus borrowing costs from the income statement)

 

The performance to date indicates Council is tracking in advance of the benchmark but below the original 2019/20 budget due to a lower forecast operating result and higher loan repayments and borrowing costs. The budgeted performance is below the 2018/19 ratio due to the exceptional operating result achieved in 2018/19 combined with lower loan repayments and interest than is forecast for 2019/20.

In addition to the information presented in the report, the latest bank reconciliation report is attached for Council’s information.

 

 

Report by Responsible Accounting Officer

The following statement is made in accordance with Clause 203(2) of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005:

 

As the Responsible Accounting Officer, it is my opinion that the Quarterly Budget Review Statement for Orange City Council for the quarter ended 30 September 2019 indicates that Council’s projected financial position for 30 June 2020 will be satisfactory having regard to the project estimates of income and expenditure, and variations contained therein.

Introduction

The purpose of the quarterly reports is to give Council confidence that projects and deliverables are being progressed by staff in accordance with community expectations.  Each quarter represents 25% of the year, and it is expected that projects have progressed by that increment for each quarter (e.g. 1^st quarter 25%; 2^nd quarter 50%; 3^rd quarter 75%; 4^th quarter 100%).  The traffic lights provide Council and the community with a report on the progress of initiatives against the expected outcomes for the relevant quarter that is being reported (e.g. whether a project has progressed 50% or more in the second quarter).

A Guide to the Traffic Lights is set out below:

Green =	Project has progressed 50% or more AND it is expected to meet deliverables. Project has only recently started or is yet to start, AND it is expected to meet deliverables. Project not yet commenced and not due to start in this financial year.
Orange =	Project is dependent on a condition or requirement being met (e.g. making a grant application) and that condition (applying for grant) has been met by staff, BUT the outcome does not allow project to proceed or deliverables to be met (e.g. funding application declined).
Red =	Project unlikely to meet deliverables (timeframes, outcome) Project not commenced and is to be cancelled or deferred to subsequent year.
