33     Insurance Renewal Year Ended 30 June 2017

 

A report from Finance provided a summary of the insurance renewal for the Dunedin City Council for the year ended 30 June 2017.

For the purposes of this insurance policy renewal, the DCC Group (where referenced) comprised the Dunedin City Council and any Council Controlled Organisation and/or subsidiary company more than 50% owned by the Council – including but not limited to: Dunedin City Holdings Limited; Dunedin City Treasury Limited; City Forests Limited; Dunedin International Airport Limited; Dunedin Venues Limited; Dunedin Venues Management Limited; Taieri Gorge Railway Limited; The Theomin Gallery Management Committee (Olveston); and Dunedin Transport Limited.  Note: Some CCOs and subsidiaries held individual policies and/or had particular policy terms, conditions and limits.

The report detailed the changes that had been negotiated around policy terms, conditions, coverage, excesses and premiums applied.  Of note, while insurance market conditions remained competitive, the significant premium savings achieved over the last two renewals had resulted in a somewhat reduced savings potential for this renewal period.  In addition the 2016/17 premium had been impacted by an increase in the sums insured as asset schedules continued to be refined and business continuity coverage updated.

A deterioration in the Council's liability claims history had also necessitated QBE to impose an increase to the liability policy premiums. 

That said significant improvement had been achieved with the reduction to the Natural Disaster excess structure.

 

The Financial Controller responded to questions from Councillors.

 

Moved (Cr Kate Wilson/Cr Andrew Noone):

 

That the Council:

 

a)     Notes the Insurance Renewal Year Ended 30 June 2017.

Motion carried (CNL/2016/081)

 

34     DCC Risk Management Policy

 

A report from Finance recommend the adoption of the DCC Risk Management Policy, following consultation and the incorporation of feedback from Council staff, Senior Management as well as review and comment by the Audit and Risk Subcommittee.

 

The Risk and Internal Audit Manager responded to questions from Councillors.

 


 

 

Moved (Cr Doug Hall/Cr Chris Staynes):

 

That the Council:

 

a)     Adopts the DCC Risk Management Policy.

Motion carried (CNL/2016/082)

 

35     2015/16 Carry Forward Budgets

 

A report from Finance advised that the 2015/16 Carry Forward process was conducted in three stages.  The first two stages allowed inclusion of provisional carry forward budgets in the 2016/17 Annual Plan process, firstly at the Council meeting in January 2016 and secondly during the Annual Plan Deliberations in May 2016.

The third and final stage in relation to the 2015/16 carry forward budgets had now been determined.  The provisional requests had been updated based on final year-end results and some new requests had been received. The final position was summarised in the table.  The approved carry forwards for the 2014/15 year were also shown.
