   5. That it be noted that a 5.1% overall rate increase would fund the budget for 2008/2009 and provide $2.4 million to fund other initiatives not in the budget.

5. Consultation and Hearings Process for the 2008/2009 Draft Annual Plan

   That following consideration of both written and oral submissions on the draft 2008/2009 annual plan, Council believes due consideration has been given to the various requests over the deliberation period, and accordingly resolves that the schedule of reports requested for committees emanating from the Annual Plan Hearings be confirmed.

6. Draft 2008/2009 Annual Plan Public Research Results

   That the draft 2008/2009 annual plan public research results be received and considered during the decision making process.

7. Rating Policies

   7.1. Rates Policy for 2008/2009

   1. That it be noted that the response from the public submissions to the draft 2008/2009 annual plan was broadly supportive of the rating policies that the Council decided to consult on, with no new significant issues raised.
   2. That it be noted that $1.8 million of corporate costs currently planned to be funded from the refuse collection targeted rate have now been reallocated to activities that are funded from the general rate and that adjusting the refuse collection targeted rate and Uniform Annual General Charge accordingly will not affect the overall rates increase.
   3. That it be noted that the changes in the refuse collection and recycling components of the refuse collection targeted rate means that the current level of rates remission offered for an approved refuse and/or recycling service no longer reflect the proportions of the total cost relating to each component and that changing the level of these two remissions to match the relevant proportion of total costs is not expected to have a material budget impact.
   4. That it be noted that central government has recently announced changes to its rates rebate scheme and that amending the Council's extended rates rebate scheme to reflect these changes is not expected to have a material budget impact.
   5. That the Auckland City Council's rates policies, consulted on via the 2008/2009 draft annual plan be adopted for the 2008/2009 annual plan, noting that key aspects of the rates policies for 2008/2009 will be as follows:
      1. a 5.1 per cent overall rates increase;
      2. a Uniform Annual General Charge of $162 per separately used or inhabited part;
      3. a refuse collection targeted rate of $210 per service (reflecting the recent reallocation of corporate costs);
      4. the application of the next step of the long-term general rate differential strategy;
      5. the discontinuation of the five value-based targeted rates;
      6. a Central Business District residential targeted rate of $55 per unit;
      7. increasing the Central Business District non-residential targeted rate in line with the next step of the differential strategy;
      8. new mainstreet budgets and targeted rates;
      9. a 3.2 per cent discount for full payment of rates before 5pm on 20 August 2008;
      10. a remission of $128 for an approved alternative refuse service and $71 for an approved alternative recycling service (reflecting changes in the refuse collection and recycling components of the refuse collection targeted rate); and
      11. a maximum rebate of $530 and an income threshold of $21,180 under the extended rates rebate scheme (reflecting changes in the central government scheme).
   6. That it be noted that officers will review all rates policies for the 2009-2019 Long-term council community plan and will address some of the minor issues raised in the submissions through that process.
   7. That officers be requested to report back to the Finance and Strategy Committee on ways to create incentives for more cost effective collection of rates for 2009/2010.
   8. That officers be requested to investigate the merits and cost of a system for payment of council rates, fines and other bills at New Zealand post shops, with transaction costs being added to the payment.

   7.2. Annual Plan 2008/2009 Metrowater Water Price Consultation Update

   1. That it be noted:
      1. That approximately two thirds of the submissions received in relation to the water price options proposed in the draft 2008/2009 annual plan were supportive of keeping water prices in line with the Council's rate of inflation by phasing out charitable payments.
      2. That the option for removing charitable payments immediately, and the option for freezing charitable payments at $24 million per annum, attracted 18% and 16% support respectively.
      3. That officers have reviewed all of the submissions in relation to Metrowater and water price issues and consider that no submission raises any significant new matters with regard to the proposed changes to the charitable payment scheme and water prices increases.
   2. That the option for keeping water prices in line with Council's rate of inflation by phasing out charitable payments be adopted for the 2008/2009 annual plan and that the 2006-2016 Long-term council community plan be updated accordingly.

   7.3. 2008 Development Contribution Policy: Submissions and Policy for Adoption

   1. That it be noted that the final 2008 Development Contributions Policy has had the following updates since being presented to Combined Committees in March 2008:
      1. an increase in the gross capital costs used in the development contribution charge setting for community amenity projects has resulted in an additional increase in the community amenity charge of $67 per Household Unit Equivalent;
      2. an increase in the transport charges for isthmus and Wynyard Point of $61, due to an increase in the gross capital costs of isthmus transport projects; and
      3. various minor changes to clarify issues raised by submitters and further legal advice.
   2. That Auckland City Council's 2008 Development Contributions Policy be adopted, effective from 1 July 2008, and that authority be delegated to the Chair of Combined Committees, the General Manager Finance and the General Manager City Development to make any minor amendments to the policy arising from the Combined Committees meeting, including consequential changes required because of other decisions made at the meeting.

   That following consideration of both written and oral submissions on the draft 2008/2009 annual plan, Council believes due consideration has been given to the various requests over the deliberation period, and accordingly resolves that the schedule of reports requested for committees emanating from the Annual Plan Hearings be confirmed.

6. Draft 2008/2009 Annual Plan Public Research Results

   That the draft 2008/2009 annual plan public research results be received and considered during the decision making process.

7. Rating Policies

   7.1. Rates Policy for 2008/2009

   1. That it be noted that the response from the public submissions to the draft 2008/2009 annual plan was broadly supportive of the rating policies that the Council decided to consult on, with no new significant issues raised.
   2. That it be noted that $1.8 million of corporate costs currently planned to be funded from the refuse collection targeted rate have now been reallocated to activities that are funded from the general rate and that adjusting the refuse collection targeted rate and Uniform Annual General Charge accordingly will not affect the overall rates increase.
   3. That it be noted that the changes in the refuse collection and recycling components of the refuse collection targeted rate means that the current level of rates remission offered for an approved refuse and/or recycling service no longer reflect the proportions of the total cost relating to each component and that changing the level of these two remissions to match the relevant proportion of total costs is not expected to have a material budget impact.
   4. That it be noted that central government has recently announced changes to its rates rebate scheme and that amending the Council's extended rates rebate scheme to reflect these changes is not expected to have a material budget impact.
   5. That the Auckland City Council's rates policies, consulted on via the 2008/2009 draft annual plan be adopted for the 2008/2009 annual plan, noting that key aspects of the rates policies for 2008/2009 will be as follows:
      1. a 5.1 per cent overall rates increase;
      2. a Uniform Annual General Charge of $162 per separately used or inhabited part;
      3. a refuse collection targeted rate of $210 per service (reflecting the recent reallocation of corporate costs);
      4. the application of the next step of the long-term general rate differential strategy;
      5. the discontinuation of the five value-based targeted rates;
      6. a Central Business District residential targeted rate of $55 per unit;
      7. increasing the Central Business District non-residential targeted rate in line with the next step of the differential strategy;
      8. new mainstreet budgets and targeted rates;
      9. a 3.2 per cent discount for full payment of rates before 5pm on 20 August 2008;
      10. a remission of $128 for an approved alternative refuse service and $71 for an approved alternative recycling service (reflecting changes in the refuse collection and recycling components of the refuse collection targeted rate); and
      11. a maximum rebate of $530 and an income threshold of $21,180 under the extended rates rebate scheme (reflecting changes in the central government scheme).
   6. That it be noted that officers will review all rates policies for the 2009-2019 Long-term council community plan and will address some of the minor issues raised in the submissions through that process.
   7. That officers be requested to report back to the Finance and Strategy Committee on ways to create incentives for more cost effective collection of rates for 2009/2010.
   8. That officers be requested to investigate the merits and cost of a system for payment of council rates, fines and other bills at New Zealand post shops, with transaction costs being added to the payment.

   7.2. Annual Plan 2008/2009 Metrowater Water Price Consultation Update

   1. That it be noted:
      1. That approximately two thirds of the submissions received in relation to the water price options proposed in the draft 2008/2009 annual plan were supportive of keeping water prices in line with the Council's rate of inflation by phasing out charitable payments.

      2. That the option for removing charitable payments immediately, and the option for freezing charitable payments at $24 million per annum, attracted 18% and 16% support respectively.

      3. That officers have reviewed all of the submissions in relation to Metrowater and water price issues and consider that no submission raises any significant new matters with regard to the proposed changes to the charitable payment scheme and water prices increases.

   2. That the option for keeping water prices in line with Council's rate of inflation by phasing out charitable payments be adopted for the 2008/2009 annual plan and that the 2006-2016 Long-term council community plan be updated accordingly.

   7.3. 2008 Development Contribution Policy: Submissions and Policy for Adoption

   1. That it be noted that the final 2008 Development Contributions Policy has had the following updates since being presented to Combined Committees in March 2008:
      1. an increase in the gross capital costs used in the development contribution charge setting for community amenity projects has resulted in an additional increase in the community amenity charge of $67 per Household Unit Equivalent;
      2. an increase in the transport charges for isthmus and Wynyard Point of $61, due to an increase in the gross capital costs of isthmus transport projects; and
      3. various minor changes to clarify issues raised by submitters and further legal advice.
   2. That Auckland City Council's 2008 Development Contributions Policy be adopted, effective from 1 July 2008, and that authority be delegated to the Chair of Combined Committees, the General Manager Finance and the General Manager City Development to make any minor amendments to the policy arising from the Combined Committees meeting, including consequential changes required because of other decisions made at the meeting.

   7.4. Fees and Charges for Temporary Use of the Road Reserve
