MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF COUNCIL HELD ON 24 FEBRUARY 2015

Moved Cr Ludlow, seconded Cr Amundsen that the minutes be approved.

Cr Kett said that the meeting started at 2.00 pm and not 4.00 pm.

Cr Pottinger said with regard to Item 3.3, he asked Cr Ludlow what the relevancewas for asking Mr Mulvey about retaining IDs from underage people whopresented them to try and purchase alcohol from liquor stores.

Cr Boniface raised a Point of Order and said that the Council was passing aresolution to approve the accuracy of the minutes and not debate the mattersoutlined in the minutes.

Cr Ludlow said he was happy to answer Cr Pottinger's question. He said he hadasked that question because the submitter raised the matter and how they likedto follow the rules. He was merely seeking clarification on this matter.

Cr Pottinger said with regard to Item 12.2, he wanted clarification as to whetherCouncil had set a precedent that it would need to charge the higher tier becausethat was a cost to this Council of monitoring it or could a liquor license holdercome to Council and ask to go to a lower tier.

Cr Ludlow said at the moment the fees and charges had been set and it was notCouncil's intention to make a profit from them. If Council found that the feeswere generating a profit then they would be reviewed and reduced. On thequestion on whether it would preclude anybody else from approaching Counciland asking for a fee reduction, the answer was no − any licence holder had theright to ask for a reduction, but added the decision regarding the ILT requestcertainly indicated where Council would most likely stand.

Cr Pottinger asked if the Government got it wrong in setting a tier structurewhere the tier structure was named as a deterrent.

Cr Ludlow said that Council's setting of fees at the maximum level was aimed athaving no rates support of the liquor licensing process.

His Worship the Mayor upheld Cr Boniface's Point of Order raised earlier andsaid Council could not reopen issues from the minutes, Council could onlyapprove the minutes at this time.

The motion, now being put was RESOLVED in the affirmative.

7.2 Bluff Cemetery

In response to questions, the following answers were given:

• We don't do stump grinding because of the amount of rocks in there.• The next plan is to contain the area where the trees have been taken out and

cleared and spray it. There is a bit of rock there so we will be a much morepleasing background at the cemetery with the natural rock and stumps thatare there at present. It will look better than it is at present.

• If you planted natives there it could enhance the area with a backdrop. Iwouldn't recommend it going into exotic trees and as much as anything else,people go there to look at old graves, see relatives graves and for the viewitself.

• There's a new group that's been set up to look at the Eastern Cemetery. Thegroup is looking at getting funding to tidy up old headstones to preserve thehistory, so that could be a project that a group in Bluff could look at doing forthe Bluff Cemetery.

The Board discussed having somebody to handout the plaques to people whocomplete the track and it was agreed that Members would discuss this matterfurther to see who would be available to do so. With regard to how peoplecould be taken back to Invercargill after completing the Te Araroa track, theBoard was unsure what could be put in place.

The Chairperson said with regard to the dangerous walk along the roadsidefrom Awarua onwards, that issue was included in the Board's submission toCouncil's Long Term Plan last year and it would again be part of its submissionthis year.

In response to a question from Cr Boniface on whether Mrs Clyma thought abarrier on the road to slow traffic down would work, Mrs Clyma said no, as thiswould increase the noise levels, she would rather have an enforced speed limitand would like a 50kph speed zone sign put in place.

In response to a question from Cr Pottinger that if the speed issue was solvedwould it be the volume of traffic that would still be the concern, Mrs Clymaconfirmed that yes the volume of traffic was a big concern.

In response to a question from Cr Thomas on when the last traffic count wasdone, Mr Pearson advised that staff were currently doing a traffic count betweenLiffey Street and Dee Street to look at volumes rather than speed and that othercounts had been done over last 12−15 months.

In response to Cr Thomas' query on the signage on State Highway 6, MrPearson advised that he would follow up on the signage after the meeting. MrPearson further advised that the Heavy traffic bypass sign had been movedcloser to Fox Street.

In response to a question from Cr Thomas regarding the noise created by thesmooth road and had this stopped the vibration, Mrs Clyma advised that this hadmostly stopped but was starting to come back with the volume of traffic and shefelt the ground underneath the road wass not compacted and was subsiding.

Mrs Clyma said that the New Zealand Transport Agency advised there wasn't aneed for Fox Street to carry heavy traffic and Victoria Avenue could carry all thevehicles and therefore was wondering if the through traffic could to go back toVictoria Avenue which would keep access to the development and would stopsheep trucks and loaded sand and gravel trucks from using Fox Street.

In response, Mr Pearson advised that Council continues to seek support fromthe transport industry to use Victoria Avenue. Each HPMV or overweight permitrequired them to use Victoria Avenue. Legal trucks at 44 tonnes or under wereentitled to drive on any street other than streets which have a ban on them andthe only street where a ban is in place was Beatrice Street. Council continued toliaise and encourage the industry to use Victoria Avenue and believed there wasa high degree of compliance for local trucking firms and Council continues tofollow up with those who don't comply. To remove the other component therewould need to be a bylaw change.

Mrs Clyma said that the bylaw which was originally proposed would haveremoved the issue of through traffic and asked if there was a possibility that thiscould be looked at again and go out for consultation. In response Mrs Shortadvised that this would have to go through to entire process again because itwas turned down by Council and would be a matter of redrafting a bylaw andputting it back out for public consultation, getting feedback and Council making adecision on that. Mrs Clyma said that an issue that was not addressed was thatthe Roading Bylaw was still running under 1962 Transport Act that never gotupdated.

Cr Thomas thanked Mrs Clyma for her time in addressing the Committee.

Moved Cr Thomas, Seconded Cr Pottinger and RESOLVED that asupplementary report from Mr Murray on the proposed Asbestos CementWatermain Replacement Programme 2015/16 be accepted and addressed by

The report had been circulated.

3.1 Levels of Service

3.1.1 Parks and Reserves

3.1.2 Public Toilets

3.1.3 Roading

3.1.4 Sewerage

3.1.5 Solid Waste Management

3.1.6 Stormwater

3.1.7 Water Supply Activity

Mr Murray took the meeting through the supplementary report and advised that afurther report would be supplied at the June meeting once tenders had beenreceived for the work.

In response to a question from Cr Boniface on the testing of the asbestos pipesand the process to determine the level of deterioration and replacement of pipesin particular areas such as Lamond Street east, Mr Murray acknowledged thatthere was a need to do more condition monitoring and the proposed 2015/16year programme had been compiled with knowledge of known failures of pipesand plan to further develop the knowledge of the local network with furthersampling. There may be other predictive methodologies that could be usedwhich don't involve taking samples of pipe such as the use of probes to try tobetter gauge the condition of buried pipes.

Mr Murray further advised that preliminary checking with colleagues in the waterindustry shows that Invercargill was typical of other areas in New Zealand usingasbestos cement pipe.

Cr Boniface further asked that following the tests, how the decision was made todetermine which pipes would need to be replaced immediately. In response,Mr Murray advised the samples were taken to be representative of the wholemain and had been taken along the whole street. The programme for the 15/16year was not totally reliant on sampling and the condition rating needed furtherwork in the coming years to justify inclusion in the proposed plan and theprogramme may alter as more information came to hand.

Mr McIntosh commented that staff were optimising the work programme for nextyear and respectfully noted that while the budget wasn't approved yet, theywanted to get a head start on talking with contractors. The work programme hadbeen developed with an understanding of which were the most strategicallyimportant pipes that were known about, such as the Airport (as part of theupgrade), Kew Road and other areas where sampling had been overlaid withburst history.

Staff were faced with the reality that they were unable to do as much as theywould like to do and would be looking at how to optimise the work to obtain themost effect. Other work being undertaken such as roading and footpaths wouldalso be taken into account.

proposal was separate to the Museum redevelopment, so there was no need toalter current boundaries and was for the display of animals and birds. Themanagement plan currently allowed this, however because it was a majordevelopment removing a large number of trees it was important that the public,via the management plan, have a say.

Mr McIntosh advised that for clarity, these submissions would only be to do withthe reserve plan for Queens Park and not any other element of the proposal. Acopy of the consultation document would be provided to the next Councilmeeting for approval to go out for public consultation.

In response to a question from His Worship on whether the new caravan wouldbe used, Mrs Short advised that the caravan would be used for this and for theLong Term Plan consultation as well and she would be setting a timetable forcirculation to Councillors who could then attend any consultation session thatthey wished.

In response to a question from His Worship that if during the submission processa better site was identified would this then require another process, Mr Paganadvised that the process would start again as this was a particular site for aspecific development.

Staff would need to see where this lined up with current budgets forthe next three years of the Long Term Plan.

Update on Branxholme Upgrade Project

Mr Murray took the meeting through the report.

Cr Boniface advised on a meeting with the Auditors around carry forward figureamounts and completing work in the year funds were allocated for. He asked ifCouncil had the resources to do the work for water and other projects goingforward to ensure that that the budgeted programme could be delivered. Inresponse Mr Murray advised in respect of the Branxholme upgrade there hadonly been a budget for this current financial year. A report went to Council inFebruary of last year requesting to defer the emergency water supply and carryforward the monies that were scheduled for equipment replacement atBranxholme to use these to fund the overall improvement of the WaterTreatment Plant. Currently the preliminary design had been done, and would besubject to a final detail design before going out for construction tender. Prior tothis, a trial was conducted to look at reutilising current infrastructure so as tomake some major cost savings namely the reinforced concrete cells which holdthe filter media. Before engaging in this trial, earthquake testing on thatinfrastructure was also undertaken. The trial, using a new filter media, wasundertaken for three months to see if it would work. As a result, in respect toexpenditure, this current year's budget would not be fully expended thusrequiring a carry forward budget into the 2015/16 year.

Mr Murray provided an update around the project on the strengthening of theWater Tower, advising that staff were waiting for legislation to become enactedbefore committing funds.

Other projects included the asbestos cement mains, as previously discussed.Other factors that could influence progress of projects included resource in thecontracting industry to be able to complete work on time.

In response to a comment from Cr Boniface on planning delivery of worksprogrammes, Mr McIntosh advised Mr Keen, as part of his role would be workingto see that the project was delivered and that a further $150,000 would beexpended by the end of the year. Mr McIntosh advised that there were otherprojects that would span multiple years because of their size. Mr McIntosh alsoadvised that during the long term plan process it had been identified that therewould be a significant increase in work with drainage and water and weeklymanagement production meetings were now taking place.

In response to a question from Cr Pottinger on the Branxholme project and oncecompleted where would Invercargill rank nationally providing quality A l water,Mr Murray advised that grading was less prominent and it was now becomingabout demonstrating compliance with drinking water standards. The city's waterdid not always comply with national drinking water standards. Pasttransgressions had been sufficiently minor and consultation with the waterassessor takes place who makes a decision on what to do. There were anumber of cities not compliant and once this project was completed the aim wasto be fully compliant and would be in−line with most other cities such as Aucklandand Wellington.

In response to a question from Cr Arnold as to whether costs of Branxholmeworks fell on people receiving the water or across all ratepayers, Mr McIntoshadvised that the cost was only on people connected to the water supply, orserved by the network.

Moved Cr Kett, seconded Cr Dennis and RESOLVED that the report bereceived.

TO: COUNCIL

FROM: COUNCILLOR IAN POTTINGER

MEETING DATE: TUESDAY 5 MAY 2015

USE OF CAPITAL BY INVERCARGILL CITY HOLDINGS LIMITED

Report Prepared by: Cr I R Pottinger

SUMMARY

This is a report by Councillor Pottinger on the use of capital by ICHL raised from the issue of32350,000 shares on December 2, 2014.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the report be received;

AND

That Council passes a resolution seeking advice from Simpson Grierson on the questionsincluded with in this report;

AND

That this advice be brought to Council at its next meeting.

BACKGROUND

On 16 April 2015, Invercargill City Holdings Limited (ICHL) presented to Council a brief fromeach of its subsidiary companies outlining their projected three year business plans. Thereport from Electricity Invercargill Limited (EIL) announced that it had entered into a jointventure partnership called Southern Generation. (This information later featured in aSouthland Times article on April 24 announcing that EIL had invested in alternative energywind farms)

Following the EIL report questions were then sought by the ICHL Chair and the followinginformation was forthcoming:

(1) That the extra 3% share holding (approximate) in OtagoNet recently purchased by EILhad been sold back to the Power Company for the original purchase price of$9.5 million.

(2) That the financing of the Southern Generation investment came from the $9.5 millionmade available from the sale of the fore mentioned OtagoNet shares.

THE REASON FOR THIS REPORT

Last year Council undertook public consultation in regards to increasing the uncalled capitaloffered to ICHL and the details regarding the use of the increase in funding were stated veryclearly in those consultation documents. One of the listed funding requirements was for anadditional $9.5 million of OtagoNet shares. I have real concern that this new investment inSouthern Generation is contrary to the Invercargill City Council resolution on December 2,2014, which authorised the $9.5 million as part of the additional $32,350,000 in uncalledcapital for ICHL.

Following the consultation Council approved Option 2, one of three options consulted on.Option 2 in the revised consultation document stated that the additional $32.35 million wouldsecure funding for investments that had already been specifically approved by Council, thatis $13.5 million for the airport and $9.5 million for OtagoNet, with the difference being a bufferrequested by the bank.

Option 3 asked the council to indicate a willingness to extend the uncalled capital in furtherpotential investments, such as smart meters and alternative energy JVs.

Councils 2 December 2014 resolution rejected option 3.

The ICHL Board resolution included in the 2 December 2014 Council minutes states atparagraph "A" that the Board wishes to issue $32.35 million in uncalled shares:

"To provide support for bank borrowings by the company to finance investments by thecompany that have been approved by Council."

Council has not approved EIL's alternative energy investment in Southern Generation.

I am very concerned that this undermines the credibility of Council. We made a decisionbased on telling the public that the uncalled share capital would not be used to supportalternative energy investments by EIL, but that is what has happened.

I am also concerned about the legality of the situation.

I request that Council obtain advice from Simpson Grierson on the implications of thesituation for Council on the following

(1) Is the Southern Generation investment inconsistent with or contrary to Council's 2December 2014 resolution and ICHL's board resolution;

(2) If it is, what are the legal implications for Council and ICHL; and(3) What are the Council's options to resolve the situation?

Attached for reference are the resolutions from the minutes of the Extraordinary CouncilMeeting 2 December 2014 and the Southland Times article on the Southern Generation JV.

REPORT

Consultation

Surely no one can claim that this Council doesn't make a genuine effort to encourageconsultation. We are now broadcasting on ICC TV through You Tube. We also have aconsultation caravan that will attend major events. Regardless of these initiatives we still getcriticised on a regular basis for not consulting enough.

The CBD Upgrade is a classic example. Our senior staff, councillors and consultants madea determined effort to engage the community. They opened a shop, had regular publicpower point presentations and walked around the CBD discussing the issues withstakeholders. Apparently this was not good enough.

Encouragement

I'm occasionally asked whether or not I feel discouraged by public criticism, defamationproceedings and negative reactions to Mayoral activity, my response is 'not at all'. I regularlyreceive praise, thanks and recognition which reflects well on the Office of the Mayor.

Good morning MorinaI'm pleased to report back that Mayor Tim spoke very well to some 35 Church Leaders @ Global ByteCafe this morning,with plenty of tears and laughter!

We acknowledged that our long serving Mayor was true believer in the genuine merits of our fair city.We share his faith too!

We also acknowledge the bitter/sweet that life sometimes brings people,as Mayor Tim shared about the joy of the Christmas Community Luncheon one day andthe tragic road accident involving 3 Chinese SIT Students the next day.

On behalf of Plastics New Zealand I would like to thank you most sincerely for entertaining us at our701h Anniversary Annual Conference last week.

As Key Note Final Speaker you absolutely complemented what was a great Conference. Yourpresentation was really well crafted, very funny and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in the room.

Dear Mayor Tim

I am writing this letter on behalf of the year seven students to thank you forcoming to speak about your career as mayor.

I enjoyed the par t where you talked about the dung beetle it was veryfunny! I also enjoyed when you talked about the qualities about being amayor. It's amazing you've been the longest mayor in Southland.

I like how you're a comedian as well as the mayor. I found it funny how youtold us your schedule and you didn't know what you were going to do next.It's interesting how you grew up in a Dutch school and you got taught yourEnglish by an opera singer.

It was a pleasure having you at our school. Thanks for taking the time tovisit us.

Yours sincerely

Hi All

The Southland Times has been asking about ICC TV and may ring you. Here is the explanation I have given them, so youare aware.

Kind regards,

E irwen.

From: Eirwen HarrisSent: Tuesday, 28 April 2015 11:15 a.m.To: 'Evan Harding'Subject: RE: Southland Times

Hi Evan,

With the cessation of CUE TV's broadcasting arm, a concept called ICC TV has been developed to replace City Talkback.

ICC TV is planned to be a regular series of short videos on topical matters, filmed and edited professionally by CUE TVand uploaded to You Tube. These can be accessed via a promotional tile on Council's website.

The first episode was uploaded on 24 April features His Worship the Mayor speaking about events and initiatives that arecurrently underway. In the first four days this had 73 views.

The second episode, is about public consultation over the Long Term Plan and explains the issues. It was uploadedready for viewing on Saturday 25 April, the day that consultation opened. In the first three days over Anzac weekend, thishad 128 views.

This will be funded out of existing budgets. Shorter items will cost less and longer items will cost more, but the budget weare working under equates to $4,000 a month − the same as City Talkback. A useful comparison to put this in context isthat for the month of March, Council spent approximately $8,500 advertising in The Southland Times.

The ICC TV initiative will be trialled for six months and then reviewed.

Other ideas for topics include:

. ICC Profiles − Meet the Team

Putting a face to ICC councillors and employees, having them explain their roles. This will be a very simple exercisewhere CUE effectively interviews the office holders responsible for Dog Control, Parks and Reserves, Civic Theatreetc.

. ICC Facilities

Visual tours of facilities and locations under the council's control along with contact details. Regularly updated toreflect change e.g. progress reports on the inner city upgrade.

. Event Coverage

Videos depicting key moments of events where ICC councillors or personnel are either present in person or have avested interest i.e. provided funding. This would include anything from Mayoral visits to activities the ICC may havesponsored, thereby showing the range of events supported by the Council.

This is the vehicle to promote events coming up. Again these could be activities either run by council staff or funded(completely or partially via a grant) by the 1CC.

• Civil Defence

Civil defence advice on action to be taken in the event of emergency. Should an actual emergency occur, this iswhere CUE can load all the updates and advisories from key personnel throughout the event.

• Issues of the Day

This is the avenue for vox pop surveys of ratepayer concerns. CUE will capture public questions and opinions onmatters as they arise, then work with the designated ICC contact to source an answer that can follow the question oropinion. This is also where ICC staff or councillors can answer queries submitted either by phone or on−line.

• Public Information

This is where the ICC can make announcements regarding activities and key dates of which the public need to beaware. As simple as a newsreader' style fronting to camera with the facts.
