Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Plan 2014-15


File No.: CP2014/04779

Purpose
1. To approve the proposed total levy in the Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Boards 2014-15 Funding Plan.

Executive Summary
2. Following consideration of public submissions, the Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Board (the Funding Board) has submitted to Auckland Council its 2014-15 Funding Plan for consideration. The Funding Plan proposes a total levy of $14.311 million, a $215,000 (1.5 percent) increase from the 2013-14 levy. In addition to the levy, a payment of $400,000 will be made to the Funding Board this financial year for the costs associated with the judicial review proceedings brought by the Auckland Regional Rescue Helicopter Trust (ARRHT). Under the Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Act 2008 (the Act), Auckland Councils role is to approve or reject the total levy. In making this decision, Auckland Council must have regard to the Acts funding principles. Auckland Council does not make the decisions relating to the allocation of funding to the individual Amenities. That is the role of the Funding Board, which is required under the Act to act independently of Auckland Council. If Auckland Council rejects the proposed levy, the matter must be referred to arbitration. The arbitrator would determine the total levy, but not the allocations to the individual Amenities. Council staff have reviewed the Funding Plan, and discussed the Funding Plan and the Amenities funding applications with the Funding Board. Following this review and the discussions, it is considered that the Funding Plan is consistent with the funding principles, and the proposed levy should be approved.

On 20 February 2014, the Finance and Performance committee approved Councils submission on the draft Funding Plan. The key points of Councils submission were: acknowledge the Funding Board and the Amenities for their contribution towards making Auckland a vibrant, attractive, and safe place to live and visit. acknowledge the Funding Board for proposing a modest 1.5 percent increase in total funding for the Amenities. note that the majority of Amenities have received substantial increases in ratepayer funding since the Act came into force, and that this may indicate that some of the Amenities are becoming increasing reliant on ratepayer funding. The draft submission asks the Funding Board to continue working with the Amenities to ensure they have a plan for achieving financial sustainability, and ideally a decreased reliance on ratepayer funding. express concern at the level of funding the Amenities have indicated they will apply for in future years. The submission asks that the Funding Board discuss with Council any substantial increases in funding that are proposed by an Amenity, particularly those that are the result of proposed increases in levels of service, and/or capital developments.

The Funding Boards response to Councils submission can be found at Attachment A. This year the Funding Board received a total of nine submissions. Seven were supportive or neutral, and two were opposed to the Funding Plan. Those submissions that were opposed to the Funding Plan related to the ARRHT. Following consideration of the submission, the Funding Board has finalised the 2014-15 Funding Plan. The Funding Plan can be found at Attachment B. The Funding Board is proposing to make the following grants to the Amenities: Amenity Funding Board Grant 2013-14 Amenity Funding Application 2014-15 Funding Board Allocation 2014-15 Change from 2013-14

This payment is for the Funding Boards costs associated with the ARRHT judicial review proceedings. Roles and Responsibilities 13. The Funding Board and Council have defined roles under the Act. The Funding Board must review the Amenities funding applications, and make determinations on the level of funding for each of the specified Amenities for the year. When doing so, the Funding Board must have regard to the funding principles and other requirements of the Act. The Funding Board must then make a recommendation to Council on the total amount of the levy for the year.

Item 11

Councils role is confined to approving or rejecting the total levy amount, having regard to the funding principles. Under the Act, Council does not have a role in decisions relating to how the funding provided to the Funding Board is allocated between the individual Amenities. Council can confer with the Funding Board on the draft Funding Plan, and also make submissions to the Funding Board as part of public consultation. The Act specifies that the Funding Board has been established as an independent body of the Council. Councils role is in the provision of annual funding, not in the decision making of how the funds are allocated between the Amenities. Should Council (having regard to the funding principles) decide to reject the proposed total levy; the dispute must be referred to an independent arbitrator. The Act does not allow for renegotiation of the proposed amounts, the matter must be referred to an arbitrator in the first instance. The funding principles are attached in full at Attachment C. The most relevant funding principles are as follows: the primary purpose of the funding is to contribute to the expenses that the specified amenity must incur to provide its facilities or services funding is not available for any part of facilities or services that the specified amenity provides outside of the Auckland region funding is not available for capital expenditure funding is available only if the specified amenity has made all reasonable endeavours to maximise their funding from other available funding sources.

Consideration of the Funding Plan against the funding principles 18. Council staff have reviewed the Funding Plan against the funding principles. Council staff have also discussed the Amenities funding applications and the Funding Plan with the Funding Board. Following this review, and the discussions with the Funding Board, it is considered that the Funding Plan is consistent with the funding principles. It is therefore recommended that the Funding Plan be approved by Auckland Council. It should be noted that Council staff will be undertaking further work with the Amenities to help develop performance measures that align with the Auckland Plan. Auckland Regional Rescue Helicopter Trust 21. The ARRHT brought judicial review proceedings over the Funding Boards allocation decisions for 2013-14. ARRHT also challenged one of the new funding principles introduced by Council under the Act, which ARRHT claims contributed to the reduction in its allocation. The new funding principle was as follows: Total funding for all specified amenities assessed for a financial year should have regard to Auckland Councils proposed rates increase for the forthcoming year 22. The ARRHT is seeking orders requiring the Funding Board to reconsider its 2013-14 allocation (largely on fairness grounds), and that the new funding principle is invalid. Note that the Court cannot decide the funding allocations itself; it can only direct the Funding Board to reconsider the matter if it thinks there was a material flaw in the Funding Boards process. Whilst one of Councils new funding principles is being challenged, Councils main interest in the proceedings is to ensure that the integrity of the funding regime is maintained.

In reviewing the Funding Boards allocation decision and the new funding principle, the High Court may have to rule on: whether the requirement under the Act for amenities to maximise other revenue sources before applying for any ARAFA funding means that the Funding Board can properly take an holistic overview of double-trust and similar structures whether the Funding Board (or Council) has any role to play in mediating the levels and scope of services that amenities should provide (since this is not actually specified under ARAFA) whether the Funding Board can ever reduce funding to an amenity, or whether ARAFA only works on an upwards ratchet in the expectation of continually increasing allocations until the statutory cap is reached whether the Funding Board can make these resource allocation decisions in its reasonable discretion, as an independent professional board established for that purpose, in accordance with the criteria under the Act

26.

The judicial review proceedings, and subsequent public comments regarding the 2014-15 funding round, have raised some issues that require clarification. It is not appropriate to comment on all of these issues until such time as the Court releases its judgment. However, some commentary on the issues raised is set out below. ARRHT Trust structure Initially the ARRHT owned and operated the rescue helicopters. However, in March 2011, the ARRHT determined to separate the operations of the ARRHT from ownership of the two helicopters. A new charitable trust was formed, The Rescue Helicopter (Auckland) Trust (TRHAT). TRHAT has the same trustees as the ARRHT. The intent was that TRHAT would own the helicopters, and become the main fundraising vehicle. ARRHT would continue to operate the rescue helicopter service. On registration of TRHAT, the two helicopters were sold at market valuation by ARRHT to TRHAT, the latter taking over and becoming responsible for payment of the debt relating to the helicopters. At the same time, a commercial lease arrangement was entered into between the ARRHT and TRHAT whereby the ARRHT agreed to pay a commercial rental for the lease of the helicopters from TRHAT. One effect of the change of structure is to place all of the day to day operational costs of the helicopter service in one entity (the ARRHT), while placing the assets and fundraising capacity in TRHAT. The Act requires ARRHT to make all reasonable efforts to raise funds from other sources. Due to the interconnectedness of the two trusts, the Funding Board considers the accounts of the two trusts on a consolidated basis when assessing the ARRHTs funding applications.

Item 11

The judicial review proceedings were heard in the High Court on 4 and 5 March 2014, and the parties are still waiting on the Courts reserved judgment. This is the first time the ARAFA legislation has been tested in court. The Courts decision may clarify a number of issues under the Act and assist Council, the Funding Board and Amenities in future funding rounds.

Governing Body 27 March 2014

Item 11

Financial needs based assessment 33. 34. The Funding Board assesses the financial need of each Amenity when determining the appropriate level of ratepayer support. The different Amenities are all in different financial situations, have different financial requirements, and differ in their ability to generate revenue. Attachment D provides financial details of the Amenities as at 31 December 2013. This summary gives an indication of the different financial circumstances of each of the Amenities. Each year, the Funding Board assesses the financial need of the Amenities afresh. This approach reflects the fact that the financial circumstances of the Amenities may change over time. Some of the Amenities have a need to raise funds for capital projects. This may have an impact on funds available for operating expenses. However, the Act prevents the Funding Board from allocating any funding to an Amenity for capital projects. Relative merits of the different Amenities 37. The Act does not allow the Funding Board to make an assessment of the relative merits of the different Amenities. The Funding Board is not permitted by the Act, for example, to say that rescue services are more deserving of funding than arts or cultural organisations. The Funding Board is under a statutory obligation to work within the Acts mechanism for adequate, sustainable, and secure funding for all of the specified amenities. Funding applications from each of the Amenities must be considered in light of the funding principles, and no priority can be given to one amenity over another.

Consideration
Local Board Views
39. 40. Decision making and oversight in respect of regional activities is the responsibility of the Governing Body. The views of the Franklin, Rodney, Waiheke, and Great Barrier Local Boards were sought in relation to the Funding Plan, given the importance of the ARRHT service to these local boards in particular. Whilst no formal feedback has been received, the chairs of the Franklin, Rodney, and Waiheke Local Boards did provide some informal feedback. This feedback expressed concern as to whether the level of service provided by the ARRHT would be impacted by the proposed level of funding. This is an assessment that the Funding Board must make. The Funding Board is confident that the level of funding allocated to ARRHT is an appropriate contribution to support the activities laid out in the ARRHTs 2014-15 funding application.

41. 42.

Mori Impact Statement


43. The Amenities have the ability to make positive contributions to Mori wellbeing. The Act also requires that the membership of the Funding Board must have at least one member who represents the interests of Mori in the Auckland Region.

General
44. This report does not trigger the significance policy.

Implementation Issues
45. There are no implementation issues associated with this report.

Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Plan 2014-15

Page 76

Governing Body 27 March 2014

File No.: CP2014/05155

Purpose
1. To approve the 2014-15 levies for the Auckland War Memorial Museum (AWMM), and the Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT).

Executive Summary
2. 3. The independent boards of AWMM and MOTAT have prepared their draft annual plans for the 2014-15 financial year. The draft annual plans have been published and consulted on. Under the Advisory and Management Agreement, RFA is the appointed advisor to Auckland Council on the annual AWMM and MOTAT funding processes. It is RFAs role to consider and make recommendations to the Council in regard to the statutory levies imposed by MOTAT and AWMM. Council must consider whether to approve or reject the levies requested by AWMM and MOTAT. The MOTAT annual plan proposes a levy of $11.987 million, a 2.5 percent or $292,000 increase from 2013-14. RFA has recommended that the MOTAT levy be approved. RFAs view is that the MOTAT board is acting prudently in keeping the levy increase to a minimum, and MOTAT is demonstrating that it has the willingness to commit its own endevours to the delivery of outcomes. The AWMM annual plan proposes a levy of $28.657 million, a 4.9 percent or $1.349 million increase from 2013-14. RFA has recommended that Council reject the AWMM levy, but that it should support a 2.5 percent increase in the levy. The Auckland War Memorial Museum Act 1996 provides that, should Council decide to reject the proposed levy, and an agreement cannot be reached between the parties, the matter is to be referred (by either party) to an arbitrator for a decision. Council will be a party to the arbitration. It is recommended that the Chair of the Finance and Performance Committee be delegated authority to negotiate an agreement with AWMM, with any such agreement to be consistent with the RFA levy recommendation. If no agreement can be reached, then this matter should be referred to arbitration.

Discussion
10. AWMM and MOTAT operate under the following pieces of legislation: Auckland War Memorial Museum Act 1996 Museum of Transport and Technology Act 2000 11. The legislation requires both museums to publish draft annual plans, including details of the proposed levy to be imposed on Auckland Council. These annual plans must be publically consulted on. Pursuant to the Advisory and Management Agreement between RFA and Auckland Council, RFA has been appointed Councils advisor for the museums annual funding process. RFA has made submissions on Auckland Councils behalf to both AWMM and MOTAT (see attachments A and B). Both AWMM and MOTAT have considered the submissions they received, and finalised their annual plans, including details of the proposed levies. RFA has assessed the levies proposed by the museums, and made its recommendations to Auckland Council. A letter containing RFAs recommendations can be found at Attachment C. Copies of AWMM and MOTATs annual plans can also be found at Attachment D and E. The RFA board has recommended to approve the MOTAT levy, but to reject the AWMM levy. The principles RFA considered when assessing the levies and RFAs recommendations are discussed in more detail below. RFAs principles for assessing the levies 16. The RFA board considered the draft annual plans in November 2013. Both AWMM and MOTAT were advised by RFA that a levy increase of 2.5 percent was the maximum that could be supported. RFAs position was based in part on Auckland Councils proposed average rates increase for 2014-15. RFA, to help it objectively assess the levy request, considered the following principles: alignment with the objectives in the Auckland Plan and any stakeholder directions previously conveyed satisfaction that the respective museums past setting of financial targets have been realistic and achieved future commercial revenue projections maximise available opportunities and have been reviewed to do so the level of funding requested is set so as to reflect a sustainable burden on public funding across the collection/heritage sector in the medium term where there is a proposed funding increase, whether there is the ability for programmes or activities to be spread over the medium term

MOTAT 18. 19. The final MOTAT annual plan differs from that consulted on. Changes have been made to reflect MOTATs newly developed strategy. A copy of the new strategy is at Attachment F. The MOTAT annual plan proposes a levy of $11.987 million, a 2.5 percent or $292,000 increase from 2013-14. RFA has considered this levy against the above principles, and recommended that the levy be approved.

RFA notes that: the proposed levy is in line with the levy indicated as being supported by the RFA board in November 2013 MOTATs objectives take into account the needs of the Auckland community and look to achieve the outcomes of the Auckland Plan MOTATs focus on exhibition development and education is supported. overall MOTAT exceeded their target for external revenue / funding for 2012-13. The total revenue targets projected in the 2014-15 annual plan continue to rise above those in previous plans. The increase in the levy is matched by a corresponding increase in MOTATs other revenue it is regarded that MOTATs requested increase is to deal with short term issues. MOTAT has reprioritised existing funding and identified alternative funding avenues to address their needs RFA considers that the MOTAT board is acting prudently in keeping the levy increase to a minimum

AWMM 21. There are many positive aspects in the AWMM annual plan. For instance, the annual plan states that: We are working jointly with Auckland Council to prepare to commemorate the centenary of the First World War; we are shaping programmes to mark 175 years since the Treaty of Waitangi and founding of Auckland; and we will continue to be active partners with iwi, Mori and Pacific communities, welcoming more of them to the work of the museum. 22. The AWMM annual plan proposes a levy of $28.657 million, a 4.9 percent or $1.349 million increase from 2013-14. RFA has considered this levy against the principles set out at paragraph 17, and recommended that the levy be rejected. RFA has indicated a levy increase of 2.5 percent should be supported. RFAs reasons for this position are set out in the letter at Attachment C. These are summarised as follows: the AWMMs total costs of activities are planned to increase partly due to aligning its Future Museum strategy with the Auckland Plan. Given the long term nature of both these plans, some thought could be given to spreading some activities throughout the life of the Future Museum strategy the AWMM revenue projections need to be further discussed, as there could be opportunities to maximise other sources of revenue other funded arts and culture facilities in Auckland have received only modest increases in funding the should be further discussion regarding the utilisation of the Museum Asset Replacement Reserve

23.

24.

There needs to be some clarification from the AWMM in relation to its annual plan. This relates to the level of admission revenue that the AWMM can expect to receive now that it is possible for it to charge admission to international visitors. Also, the impact of savings that the AWMM has achieved on the annual plan could be explored. Through some excellent initiatives, the AWMM has managed to achieve significant savings in the areas of electricity and gas consumption (40 percent saving from the 2010 baseline), and the AWMM has received a reduction in its rates of $250,000 per annum.

Item 12

Item 12

Given all of the above factors, RFA is of the view that a levy increase in line with the general rates increase would be sufficient. RFA has therefore recommended that the AWMM levy be rejected, but that a levy increase of 2.5 percent is appropriate. The Auckland War Memorial Museum Act 1996 provides that, should Council decide to reject the proposed levy, and an agreement cannot be reached between the parties, the matter is to be referred (by either party) to an arbitrator for a decision. Council will be a party to the arbitration. It is recommended that the Chair of the Finance and Performance committee be delegated authority to discuss the draft annual plan with AWMM, and to negotiate an agreement with AWMM. If no agreement can be reached, then this matter should be referred to arbitration. If the matter is referred to arbitration, the Act provides that the arbitrator would need to reach a decision before the end of April, and the AWMM board must adopt its annual plan by 30 April 2014.

Mori Impact Statement


30. AWMM and MOTAT have the ability to make positive contributions to Mori wellbeing, and to deliver on Auckland Plan outcomes relating to effective communication and engagement with Mori. In last years levy process, MOTAT and the AWMM were asked to engage with manawhenua and mataawaka in the region, in relation to ongoing development of their respective strategies. In its annual plan, MOTAT states that it is focusing on its relationship with the local iwi using the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and respecting their customary kaitiaki role. MOTAT is aiming to develop a mutually rewarding relationship whereby iwi assist the museum to highlight Mori knowledge, culture and views in ways that ensures it is acknowledged, respected and passed on. The AWMM is prioritising Mori partnership and co-development and will develop a framework for a new model of engagement with whanau, hapu and iwi to enhance matauranga Mori and knowledge about taonga Mori.

The broad heading for these workstreams is working better with CCOs which will cover issues such as the accountability framework, and mechanisms for achieving greater integration, collaboration and strategic alignment. Some of these workstreams will fall within management delegations and will be reported for information to the Governing Body. For example: Operational roles and responsibilities some of the issues that arise with respect to CCOs are due to a lack of clarity about who is responsible for a particular function. This work will seek to clarify responsibilities where there is confusion, for example because of conflicting agreements Improving the issues resolutions process (for example when disagreements arise between a council department and a CCO).

10.

Some workstreams will fall within the delegations of the CCO Governance and Monitoring Committee. For example: Governance policy such as board structure and skills, director remuneration, and Auckland Council directors on Auckland Transport Streamlining the accountability framework.

11.

Others will require governance decisions by the Governing Body. For example: Strategic alignment ensuring that CCO delivery is aligned as strongly as possible to delivering on council strategic priorities. This will include consideration of Mori responsiveness and responsiveness to local board priorities

CCO revenue and funding issues.

The working better with CCOs workstreams will continue through phases two and three of the review.

Consideration
Local Board Views
13. The project timing allows for a period from 28 August until early October for local boards to provide feedback on CCO delivery and configuration options. In addition, the working better with CCOs workstreams will include considerations relevant to local boards, and local board input will be requested and considered at the appropriate time. Local boards are currently considering their input to the current state analysis and this will be reported to the Governing Body when available.

14.

Mori Impact Statement


15. CCOs as delivery agents of Council have the potential to have a significant impact on positive outcomes for Mori. The review of CCOs is therefore an important opportunity to ensure that Councils commitments and obligations to Mori are reflected in the arrangements between Council and its CCOs. IMSB feedback on CCO delivery and configuration options will also be provided during the same timeframe as the local board and CCO feedback. As with local boards, the working better with CCOs workstream will include considerations of interest to the IMSB and their input will be requested and considered at the appropriate time.

16. 17.

General
18. As previously advised, the CCO review will be resourced internally. Resourcing is likely to include some CCO staff, which will also help to ensure a collaborative process.

Implementation Issues
19. There are no implementation issues associated with this report.

Purpose
1. To adopt the resolutions recommended by the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee on a bylaw to manage council-owned cemeteries and crematoria.

Executive Summary
2. At its meeting on 19 March 2014, the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee considered advice that a bylaw is the most appropriate way to manage council-owned cemeteries and crematoria. The committee also agreed that a statement of proposal should be adopted, with a proposed bylaw, for public consultation which will be undertaken in early 2014. Under the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009, the legacy cemeteries and crematoria bylaws are deemed to have been made by Auckland Council. Like all the bylaws inherited by Auckland Council, these bylaws remain operative until 31 October 2015, where after they lapse. This presents Auckland Council with an opportunity to review the legacy bylaws to ensure they meet the requirements of the council and the community. This includes considering if a bylaw is the most appropriate method of dealing with the issues faced by the council. All legacy councils had cemeteries and crematoria bylaws addressing various activities in council-owned or operated cemeteries and crematoria; this review proposes to align the general management of these cemeteries and crematoria while retaining an element of local variation. A bylaw is recommended to regulate operational council-owned or operated cemeteries and crematoria, supported by a Code of Practice detailing specific process. Issues that have been addressed by other regulatory or non-regulatory means are recommended to be removed from the proposed bylaw and managed via existing mechanisms. The proposed bylaw is consistent with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 and is in the most appropriate form. It meets the requirements of section 155 of the Local Government Act 2002. The council proposes the revocation of the legacy bylaws and the making of a new Cemeteries and Crematoria Bylaw 2014 supported by a Code of Practice. The Regulatory and Bylaws Committee resolved to present its resolutions to the Governing Body for adoption. The original report to the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee is appended as Attachment A. The Regulatory and Bylaws Committee agreed that the Manager Policies and Bylaws be authorised to change Mori Area to Wahi Tapu Mori in the Cemeteries and Crematoria Bylaw Statement of Proposal. The updated documents, with this amendment, are also appended to this report (Attachments B, C and D).
