5.3 3rd Quarter Budget Review and Performance Report 2018/19

RECORD NUMBER: 2019/877

AUTHOR: Jason Cooke, Manager Financial Services

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report provides the second quarter report on the 2018/19-2021/22 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 $423,216 to Council’s adopted budget. The effect of these variations results in Council’s projected year-end consolidated position increasing to a surplus of $4,143,663 (from a surplus $3,720,447), 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 to 3 below indicate a surplus result for Council.

Material changes to budget in the March 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 over the following pages and in Table 4.

While there are a number of variations detailed in Table 4, the significant changes contributing to the net variations are due to:

A. The deferral of major projects to 2019/20 including the Canobolas Scout Camp and Wade Park Cricket Centre

B. The 2018/19 roads to recovery grant was paid in advance and recognised in the prior financial year but there is no such advance payment now expected this financial year. Therefore the grant has been removed from the 2018/19 budget

C. Borrowing costs related to the loan for the CBD project have been removed consistent with the deferral of the project by one year

D. In the water fund, Stage 1 of Blackmans Swamp rehabilitation has been deferred to 2019/20. This has been mostly offset by an increase in expected electricity costs

E. In the sewer fund, the STP inlet works upgrade has been deferred until 2019/20

Where amounts are shown against equity in Table 4 below, this indicates that money has been transferred in to and out of Council’s restricted asset funds to pay for nominated projects that are mostly capital in nature. For example, if Council receives grant monies in advance for projects that may happen over a number of years, the grant is transferred to a restricted asset account and held until the year in which the expenditure takes place. These transactions are thus recording internal transfers.

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 major variation proposed relates to electricity charges for the water and sewer funds, after actual year to date charges against budget for large contract sites were reviewed. The additional information is provided in Table 5 below.

Table 5: 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 31 March (75% 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. 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 March quarter 75 per cent should have been received. However, given the recognition of almost all rates and annual charges in the first quarter, approximately 84 per cent of revenue should have been received. The “all income” bar of Figure 1 shows progress is below this expected figure due to the timing of grants and contributions for both operating and capital purposes yet to be received.

Rates and Charges Collection

For the first quarter, a total of $5.3 million (9.79 per cent) remains outstanding for rates and annual charges. For the purposes of comparison, for the same quarter last financial year 7.35 per cent of the amount payable remained outstanding.

Figure 2: Outstanding rates Q3 2018/19 vs Q3 2017/18

Review of Expenditure

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

Figure 3: Details of Council’s expenditure as a percentage of annual budget as at 31 March (75% through the financial year)

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, Depreciation and Other Expenses. As presented in Figure 3 above, most of these expense groups are slightly below budget. Council rates for Council-owned properties are paid in full at the start of the year.

On the assumption that all expenses are incurred at a constant rate over the year, by the end of the March quarter 75 per cent should have been paid out. The “all expenditure” bar of Figure 3 shows performance is better than this expected figure.

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 2017/18 against the original 2018/19 budget and the September, December and proposed March quarter revised 2018/19 budgets.

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 in advance of the benchmark and slightly below the 2018/19 budget. 2017/18 was an exceptional year in terms of performance due to actual non-grant related revenue coming in above budget and actual expenditure being well 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 above the benchmark, driven by a decreased level of funding expected to come from capital grants and contributions compared to the original budget.

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 and consistent with the original 2018/19 budget. The budgeted performance is below the 2017/18 ratio due to the exceptional operating result achieved combined with lower loan repayments and interest in 2017/18 than has been forecast for 2018/19.

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 31 December 2018 indicates that Council’s projected financial position for 30 June 2019 will be satisfactory having regard to the project estimates of income and expenditure, and variations contained therein.

Jason Cooke, Responsible Accounting Officer
