INFORMATION ITEM
OTHER CHANGES TO 2008/2009 BUDGET
| Priscilla Steel |
|
| Democracy Advisor |
10 July 2008 |
For
the Board's information, at its meeting held on 19 June 2008, Combined
Committees considered a report on the annual plan relating to the 5.1% rate
increase that includes $2.4 million of funding for other projects or initiatives
not included in the budget.
The
feedback from submissions did not indicate overwhelming support for higher rate
increases to fund the deferred or cancelled projects. Most of the projected
rate increases from 2009/2010 are higher than Council's projected inflation
rate. Adopting any projects or initiatives that are ongoing in these outer
years will only exacerbate this issue.
Recommending that the Board note projects in the Maungakiekie Ward deferred or
cancelled in the 2008/2009 Annual Plan, and pay particular attention to
resolution E referring to the strategic importance of the Onehunga area.
