Consultation Document - 2020/21 Annual Plan

Department: Corporate Policy

 

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1          To ensure a fully compliant audit process and meet timeframes for Council’s 2020/21 community engagement process, Council must formally adopt the resolutions below following advice from Audit New Zealand.

 

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Council:

a)     Adopts the underlying information supporting the proposed amendment to the 2018‑28 10 year plan (Attachment A).

b)     Approves the Consultation Document which includes a proposed amendment to the 2018-28 10 year plan (Attachment B).

c)     Receives the ‘Independent Auditor’s Report’ from Audit New Zealand on the proposed amendment to the 2018-28 10 year plan.

d)     Adopts the Consultation Document which includes a proposed amendment to the 2018‑28 10 year plan.

 

BACKGROUND

2          At the 24 February 2020 Council meeting, Council confirmed the proposed approach to engaging with the community and the content of the information to be presented as part of the community engagement process. 

3          Information that supports the content of the 2020/21 Annual Plan consultation document must be publicly available and collectively is known as ‘supporting documents’ or ‘underlying information’.

4          The Council is legislatively required to adopt the supporting documents before adopting the consultation document.

5          The attached supporting document has been audited by Audit New Zealand. It describes the proposed amendment to the 2018-28 10 year plan and shows the impact of the proposal on the financial tables and rating information from the 2018-28 10 year plan.

DISCUSSION

6          Audit New Zealand have audited the consultation document and the supporting amendment documents for legislative compliance.

7          Although Council has already considered the draft information for community consultation at the 24 February 2020 Council meeting, the consultation document now includes an Audit New Zealand auditor’s report, as well as other minor changes that have been incorporated since that meeting. Substantive content has not been changed.

8          The resolutions as outlined need to be passed by Council in order to comply with audit requirements.

OPTIONS

9          As this is an administrative report, no options are provided.

NEXT STEPS

10        The consultation document will be printed and delivered to every Dunedin home as part of the 2020/21 Annual Plan engagement process.
