240/18 

To:  Audit & Risk Committee  

From:  David Paris, Manager Finance 

Endorsed by:  Kathryn Ross, Chief Executive 

Date:  21 November 2018 

Subject:  Insurance Briefing 

FOR INFORMATION 

Recommendation: 

That  the  Audit  &  Risk  Committee  receives  the  Report  240/18  and  verbal  briefing  from  a representative from Jardine Lloyd Thompson (JLT).  

 Purpose 

To provide the Audit and Risk Committee with an extension of the information provided at the May meeting with respect to the insurance cover the Council has in place for the 2018/19 year. A  representative  of  the  Council’s  insurance  broker,  Jardine  Lloyd  Thompson  (JLT)  (Darren Williamson) will  provide a briefing,  including a description of  the  collaborative nature of  the insurance cover across the three Wairarapa Councils.   

Executive Summary 

The Council carries insurance cover to mitigate a number of risks to the assets and activities of the Council. This report has been prepared in order to provide further background information on risks and insurance cover.  

 

Risk Overview  

Insurance is one of many tools an organisation has available to manage risks – in particular, the financial risks associated with the occurrence of an adverse event through the transfer of that risk to a third party.  Insurance alone cannot be relied upon to manage risks. A number of other methods are required to be used:  

  Avoidance  

Reduction in risk (eg with design or processes) 

Mitigation  

Recovery processes.   It is the Council’s responsibility to identify risks in our business and decide which ones to insure against and at what value.  Being uninsured or underinsured is risky, as it exposes us to potential losses if something goes wrong in our business. Equally, having the wrong kind of insurance can be  a  waste  of  money. We  regularly  review  and  update  our  insurance,  especially  when  our business or circumstances change.  

   

411

Background   

While insurance is often seen as financial cover for damage to physical assets, it is also available to  cover  potential  financial  losses  from  adverse  events  affecting  our  business  operations. Insurance cover may include:  

o property damage  

o equipment breakdown  

o liability claims  

o professional indemnity  

o theft  

o natural disasters.   It is noted that insurance only deals with financial losses and needs to be considered in the wider context of risk management.   

Insurance Principles    

Recommended principles are:  

Council will transfer financial risk where appropriate.  

Council will have a conservative approach to insurance.  

Council will self‐insure (in part) where appropriate contingency funding is in place (e.g. flood damage for road and bridge assets).  

Council will ensure sufficient financial reserves (capacity funds) are  in place to cover periods before insurance payments are received.  

 The broad intention is to deliver an informed balance of insured risk vs non‐financial risk across Council’s operations, activities and services.    

Current Insurance    

Council operates a business with a $44m turnover. It has fixed assets worth more than $757m. The operations include activities that carry many risks and potential financial liabilities.   The  insurance world’s view of New Zealand’s risk profile changes regularly. The graph on the following page illustrates the changing cost of securing insurance cover. The impact of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake on insurance premiums is clear. The reducing premiums are described as  a  ‘softening’  of  the market.  A  turn‐around  has  occurred with  the  Kaikoura  earthquake  in November 2016 having an impact on the earthquake portion of the material damage premiums. A 25% increase  in the earthquake portion of premiums was seen in 2016/17.  In addition, the changes  to  the  Fire  Service  saw  their  levies  increase  in  2017/18.  The  current  year  has  seen continuing hardening of the insurance market due to on‐going claims and losses due to storm events. The material damage premiums increased 7.5% over the prior year.  The cost of disaster recovery cover on underground assets remained less affected by the global market as the Council has stayed with the LAPP scheme. The prospect of having to move to a market‐based scheme from July 2019 has been signalled as the LAPP scheme looks to transfer its members across to an insurance‐based model.

Material Damage and Other Policies    

This cover is obtained for normal business activities that are affected by adverse events. Council currently is covered with policies secured through the use of a broker (Jardine Lloyd Thompson). The broker charges a flat fee for their services which include claims management. There is no brokerage or commissions on the insurance business they place.   General Insurance is used to cover events and risks such as; material damage to buildings and contents, machinery breakdown, fire, business interruption, motor vehicles and other business liabilities.   Council’s Material Damage and Business Interruption cover has, since 2011/12, been placed with a panel of insurers. This approach had to be taken due to the reduced capacity available in the New Zealand market, post the Christchurch earthquakes.    The panel changed in 2017/18 to the following:  

QBE Insurance (Australia) limited       53.3% lead insurer  

AIG NZ Ltd             18.5% 

Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Co Ltd   13.5%  

NZI a division of IAG New Zealand Limited       9% 

ZL Insurance Company SE          5.5% 

 

The cover is for physical loss or damage to property belonging to the insured or for which the insured  is  legally  responsible  or  has  assumed  responsibility  prior  to  the  occurrence  of  any damage.  The main deductible (excess) is $5,000, except for earthquake damage where it is 5% of the site sum insured (10% for pre 1935 risks).

Public Liability/Professional Indemnity   

The Council  changed  its  liability  insurer  from 1  July  2017  to  JLT’s  Local Government  Liability Programme.  Local Government has some unique risks associated with the regulatory functions and the previous insurer, Riskpool was established in the 1990s to fill a gap in the market for local authorities. They stood behind Councils through many legal challenges and obtained good clarity around liability issues such as leaky homes.  Riskpool (and Civic Assurance) withdrew from the market last year but will take 3 to 5 years to wind up as old claims are settled.  Riskpool has signalled that a further call on member Councils will be made for the Fund years 7 and 10 (2004 and 2007). The call totals $6m and is to cover the deficit the mutual fund is carrying.  Their deficit relates to  leaky homes claims that were not able to be covered by re‐insurance. Masterton DC’s share of the call is just under $30,000 and was not budgeted in the 2018/19 year.  A further call on Riskpool members has been signalled in 2022 or 2023.

General Manager’s Report

More Visitors, Staying Longer & Spending More

Overview

Visitor Arrivals International visitor guest nights continued to decline against same volumes last year and the share of Wairarapa’s total guest nights is sitting at about 17%.

Backing up from May when Wairarapa had the highest Guest Night growth (20.3%) of any region in the country, in June we had the highest domestic guest night growth (42.6%) and the second highest overall guest night growth 13.4%. Now in August the Wairarapa has again had the highest percentage guest night growth in the country with 29.6%. The closest region in terms of this measure was Manawatu with 14.8%.

In August we not only had guest night growth but guest arrivals were up 13.7%, length of stay up a phenomenal 0.23 nights and the resulting 5.6 point growth in occupancy levels is exceptional.

Despite a rough June and July, the Wairarapa commercial accommodation monitor figures for the YE August 2018 are better than any other region in the feeder set including National.

Carterton and South Wairarapa statistics are grouped together so the following table for Masterton is not available for the other two TLAs. Masterton’s growth has been excellent and outstripped the rest of the Wairarapa. It’s believed this continues to be largely on the back of a large increase in business events.

Visitor Spend This series of graphs is an aggregated view of spend. Spend is once again up with most of the growth coming from Manawatu and Wellington although pleasingly the Wellington share of all spend has not changed. The YE July spend of $186.7 million is a new benchmark. Despite the drop in International guest nights, Australian spend is up slightly on last month and the real hit has been in USA and UK spend although both held their share of spend.

A reminder that the 2025 goal is for Wairarapa tourism to be generating $212million dollars a year to the local economy. YE July 2018 and the industry is generating $186.7 million which is average annual growth of $13.17 million from the $134 million benchmark in 2014. This is considerably better than the $3.6 million required per year between now and 2025. At this rate we’ll have achieved the goal by 2022.

It’s interesting to see the importance of retail in the three Districts. Not surprisingly South Wairarapa does the best out of Cafes & Restaurants where Masterton does the best out of general retail. While Carterton’s best performing category is Retail Food & Beverage.

The continued shallowing of the season in terms of spend is excellent and currently shows no signs of slowing. While the spend in the low season increases, the spend in the high season is still increasing by more.

Winning Business Events

Destination Wairarapa has recognised the growth in Business Events and the lack of a

Convention Bureau in the region. To fill this gap, we’ve partnered with a PCO out of

Wellington. Between July and December, this PCO has booked five business events into

the region.

At the Strategic Planning meeting, Masterton and South Wairarapa all reported excellent

growth in conference business compared to previous years. While Carterton, without a

sales person, has recorded a decline.

i-SITE Visitor Centres

Highlights:

Door counts at the i-SITE Visitor Centres for the YE September 2018 (34,347)

are down 5,739 (14.3%) on the previous year.

o Masterton volumes of 8,445 are down 1,728 (16.9%)

o Martinborough volumes of 25,902 are down 4,011 (13.4%)

Despite the drop in visitors through the door we did see an increase in revenue through

the centres.

Tania White joined the team in a part time Marketing Coordinator role. We exhibited (with Schoc and Food Forest Organics) at the Wellington Women’s Lifestyle Expo which is a key way we grow our email database.

2019 Visitor guide/wine map production began. This is a major project and this year was project managed by Tania. Waihine Gorge is the cover this year and will be distributed from the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South.

Provided input into the new Classic NZ Wine Trail (SH2) brochure.

Worked with AA 101 on their summer content.

We began managing the marketing activity for Country Village Heaven group.

We’ve had a major focus on promoting the Remutaka Cycle Trail. Work included:

Complete overhaul of our web content for the trail with new pages added.

A prize promotion via email and extensive Facebook and Instagram activity

including funded activity

Development of and funding of sponsored content on STUFF based on an

article written by cyclist journalist Sarah Bennett who we hosted in the region.

Online In this period we presented a well-attended session about changes to using Facebook and the importance of Google My Business pages. We are working hard to keep our learnings and capability current in this space. This session was top notch and really demonstrated how we can add value to members.

We’ve taken a firm lead on getting onto Neighbourly. With over 780,000 NZers signed up it’s a channel we must be adroit at using. We’ve bought a premium page in the region which Pixie is using to promote the two i-SITE Visitor Centres and a page actually in Wellington which we will be used strategically around events.

We hosted a very well attended session with our Platinum partners and major events around how to use Neighbourly and will continue to share our learnings around this platform.

Developed guidance to major hotel on responding to negative Trip Advisor reviews; a guide we can use more widely.

General Manager’s Financial Report

Unaudited Financials 30 September 2018

Revenue, YE 30 September 2018 and revenue is performing slightly better than forecast. Although the $4,548 correction from CDC for a short payment last year is more than the $2,689 better than budget result.

Expenses are under control and with RCT – Project revenue and expenses now being separated out from the core operations, we’re getting a better picture of the actual position.

Corporate Expenses finished $14,400 under budget:o Roughly $8,000 needs to come from this after the audit expense is

realisedo Timing of Board fees will also correct by $4,700

i-SITE Expenses finished $2,200 under budget

Marketing Expenses are $14,000 under spento Classic NZ Wine Trail spend will correct with timing $2,500o Domestic Winter Campaign will correct at the end of the year $2,000o Remutaka Cycle Trail will correct with the production of a new user guide

To:  Audit & Risk Committee  

From:  David Paris, Manager Finance 

Endorsed by: 

Kath Ross, Chief Executive 

Date:  21 November 2018 

Subject:  2018/19 Three Months to Date Financial Report 

FOR INFORMATION  

Recommendation: 

That the Audit & Risk Committee receives the 3 months to date f inancial report and 

commentary, including Operating and Capital Expenditure Statements.  

Purpose 

The purpose of this report is to provide the Audit and Risk Committee with the financial report for the three months to 30 September 2018. 

Executive Summary 

The Rates Requirement Summary to 30 Sept 2018 shows the Council’s net spending of rates funding at $7.88m, 4.8%  less  than the year  to date budget. Significant variances  from the budgeted position are explained in the commentary below. Overall the Council’s net spending on rates‐funded activities is on‐track after 3 months of the financial year. 

The  Statement  of  Revenue  &  Expenditure  shows  a  small  YTD  accounting  surplus  of  $61,617.  This  is $722,400  better  than  the  planned  YTD  deficit,  due  in  large  part  to  more  Operating  Revenue.  Two components of revenue better than planned are: 

‐ NZTA subsidies are more than expected due to a higher level of Roading expenditure in the first quarter than expected; and 

‐ Financial  Contributions  from  subdivision  developments  have  continued  their  positive performance and are well ahead (142%) of the planned level YTD. 

In the expenditure area, personnel costs are running 10.8% underspent as a number of vacant positions were not filled in the first quarter. Timing variances between budget and actual also account for some of the variance.  Other operating expenditure savings amount to 1% of the YTD budget.  

The Summary Statement of Capital Expenditure for the first quarter shows $2.7m spent, which is 15% of the full year capital budget (last year it was 10% at 3 months to date). The detailed schedule is included at the end of this report. Some commentary on variances is included in the capital statements, but further work is being done to forecast the extent to which each of the capital projects or financial provisions will be completed/spent by 30 June 2019. This work will come to the Council’s strategy day in late January. 

Commentary on Operating/Funding Statements 

This commentary should be read in conjunction with the Operating/Funding Statements for the 3 months to 30 September 2018 for each of the Council’s operating areas, as listed on the following pages.   

247/18

438

The variances shown may not translate to the full year result, but the Plan figures for three months to date have been adjusted to match expected timing of income and expenditure, where known. 

In the Activity areas: 

Roading has run above the planned rates required as a number of renewals contracts wereprogressed  in  the  first  three  months  of  the  year.  These  include  footpaths,  kerbing  androadmarking.  It  is  expected  that  these  are  timing  variances  that  will  even  out  over  thebalance of the year.

District Building has realised savings vs Plan as the Plan allowed for Waiata House costs suchas rates, insurance, depreciation and loan interest. External rent on Public Trust was alloweduntil September.

Economic development spending reflects  the costs of  the My Masterton supplement andother promotional activity that took place in Aug/Sept and that were committed from theprior year to come from the well‐beings budget. Overall, the economic development area isexpected to be within budget by year end.

Resource Mgmt & Planning better than Plan reflects the higher level of resource consent feeincome from subdivision developments than planned.

Building  Services  revenue  is  18.3%  ahead  of  the  plan,  but  costs  of  processing  the  highvolumes of consents are also up. Legal costs more than Plan have also offset the higher thanplan income.

Internal functions overall show $86,147 in net costs  less than planned. Savings have beengenerated largely from several staffing roles that have yet to be filled.

To:  Audit and Risk Committee 

From:  Tania Madden, Manager Strategic Planning 

Endorsed by:  Kathryn Ross, Chief Executive   

Date:  21 November 2018 

Subject  Non‐Financial Performance 2018‐19 First Quarter Report  

INFORMATION  

Recommendation: 

That the Audit and Risk Committee:  

a) receives the Quarter 1 non‐financial performance report for the 2018‐19 financial year; and 

b) agrees to the reporting frequency for each of the performance measures, as provided in Attachment 1 to Report 244/18. 

 Purpose 

The purpose of this report  is to advise the Audit and Risk Committee of performance against non‐financial measures reported in the first quarter of the 2018/19 financial year. The figures in this report are for the period from 1 July to 30 September 2018. 

Executive Summary 

As  part  of  the  development  of  the  2018‐28  Long‐Term Plan  (LTP)  Council  reviewed  its  non‐financial performance framework and adopted a total of 70 performance measures.  

The proposed reporting frequency for each of the performance measures is included with this report as Attachment 1.  Please note, this is the minimum frequency for which measures will be reported. If relevant data that reflects progress does become available before a measure is due to be reported (i.e.  for those that are six monthly or annual), this will be included in the next quarterly report.  

This is the first non‐financial performance report for the 2018‐28 Long‐Term Plan (LTP). Results against performance measures are reported for four activity areas in this first quarter report. The activity areas are: 

Water Supply; 

Wastewater;  

Stormwater; and 

Solid Waste. 

Of  the  15  performance  measures  reported  this  quarter,  13  (87%)  were  achieved  as  at  30 September 2018. The two measures relating to solid waste were not achieved. 

Further information is provided below. 

 

 

462

The graph below shows the percentage of measures against each activity area that: 

have been achieved as at 30 September 2018; 

have not been achieved as at 30 September 2018; or 

are not measured at three months.

Tonnes to landfill (excluding CDC and SWDC waste that transits via Nursery Road) was 3,445.6 tonnes (0.13 tonne/head). This is based on the 2018 population estimate of 25,700.  

For the same period last year 3,172.74 tonnes (0.13 tonne/head) was transferred.  

In terms of total tonnage, there has been an 8.6% increase in the amount transferred to landfill between this quarter and the same period last year. This increase is attributable to high levels of economic activity. 

Waste minimisation efforts will continue in order to reduce the amount of waste transferred per person.

Endorsed by:  Kathryn Ross, Chief Executive 

Date:  21 November 2018 

Subject  LGFA, Borrowing and Investments Update 

FOR INFORMATION 

Recommendation: 

That the Audit and Risk Committee  

(i) receives the information in Report 241/18,  (ii) acknowledges submission of the Local Government Funding Agency AGM proxy vote, as submitted 

under delegated authority; and  (iii) acknowledges that there will be an investment policy breach for a limited period. 

 

Purpose 

The  purpose  of  this  report  is  to  provide  the  Committee  with  up‐to‐date  information  about  the Council’s investments, borrowing and the NZ Local Government Funding Agency (LGFA) AGM.  

 

Executive Summary 

The Masterton District Council  invested $100,000 in shares  in the LGFA when it was established in December 2011. The Council is an active borrower from the LGFA (currently $60 million borrowed), an investor in LGFA borrower notes and a guarantor of the LGFA, along with 45 other Councils.  The LGFA has an AGM each year where the Council  is able  to cast  its vote on election of  trustees and changes to policies. A proxy vote in favour of all resolutions has been cast under delegated authority. The resolutions are explained below.  

Also,  Council  has  recently borrowed $8m  from  the  LGFA.  The  funds will  be  used  to  repay  a bond maturity due in March 2019. The investment of the extra funds for 4 months has meant Council will be in technical breach of its investment policy, with more than $6m invested with three banks.  

Commentary ‐ LGFA  

The  LGFA  is  holding  its  AGM  on Wednesday  21  November  2018.  The  resolutions  being  voted  on include the re‐election of  two directors and two nominating Councils  (Hamilton City and Tauranga City).  There are also two changes recommended to the foundation policies. The changes are:  

1. Measurement of council compliance with LGFA covenants at the group level This change allows Councils to apply to the LGFA to be tested for compliance with  lending policy covenants at a group or parent council level. In some cases, the exclusion of subsidiary entities from the revenue or asset calculations will not accurately reflect the financial position of the group. This does not apply to Masterton District Council. 

   

471

 2. Lending to Council Controlled Organisations (“CCOs”) 

Currently LGFA only lends to the parent council and not to any other related entities. This is not  ideal for a number of reasons. Several councils borrow and on‐lend to their CCOs. The changes proposed will provide councils with greater flexibility in structuring their borrowing and on‐lending. LGFA currently cannot lend to multiple‐owned CCOs. There are very few but may become more established in the future eg. jointly owned water companies. Dunedin City borrows via a CCTO subsidiary which cannot  currently borrow  from the LGFA. The  change proposed will allow Dunedin City to use the LGFA when appropriate.   There are a number of measures proposed to ensure the LGFA does not bear any additional risk through the change to lending to CCOs. The papers supporting the two changes above fully describe the changes, the reasons for them and the risks and safeguards that will be put in place.  

 Both  the  LGFA  Board  and  Shareholders’  Council  have  recommended  and  endorsed  the  proposed changes to the Foundation Policies.  The full set of documents is available on request.  Due to the timing of the AGM (the same date as Audit and Risk Committee and November Council meeting)  staff  have,  in  consultation with  the Mayor,  submitted  to  the  Local Government  Funding Agency AGM a proxy vote in support of the changes proposed.  

Commentary – Borrowing & Investment  

The Council has a $10m bond from the LGFA due to be repaid on 15 March 2019. The strategy for funding  that  repayment  is  to  borrow  $8m  and  use  $2m  of  rates  funding  for  debt  repayment  (as allowed  in  the  LTP).  The  timing  of  borrowing  the  $8m  has  been  subject  to  choosing  the  most favourable market rates. Borrowing early and investing the funds for 4 months has been the approach taken. This avoids any exposure to fluctuating interest rates in March, enables current low interest rate margins  to  be  locked  in  and  provides  the  opportunity  to  gain  approximately  $14,000  on  the margin between borrowing and investing.   The $8m has been split into two bonds of $4m each, one to mature in March 2024 and one in March 2025. They are floating rate bonds priced off the 90 day swap rate plus a margin that was set as part of an LGFA bond tender on 7 November. The interest rates payable are 2.67% and 2.73% respectively.  The investment of $8m for 4 months has been spread across three banks at interest rates of 3.23% and 3.22%. Adding these investments to other funds on deposit, through until March 2019 the Council will have more than $6m invested with three banks (ANZ, BNZ and Westpac). This is a technical breach of the Investment Policy. The Audit & Risk Committee is asked to acknowledge the breach as being an acceptable risk for a limited period.
