In response to the following question submitted by Comhairleoir B. Bermingham, a written reply was circulated as outlined below:-

Request the Manager to display the EU flags, bunting etc for Europe Day 9th May, 2014?

We do not keep bunting in stock, however four EU flags will be flown on the day.

3.6 HOARDING SIGN ABOVE THE BUILDING ON FR. MATHEW QUAY

In response to the following question submitted by Comhairleoir K. O’Flynn, a written reply was circulated as outlined below:-

Has permission ever been granted or sought for the large hoarding sign advertising an RTE television programme above the building on Fr. Matthew Quay considering that is erected for over 3 months?

And does the building have a listed heritage or have architectural importance considering the age and period of its construction?

We have no record of a planning application for the banner on this property. The building is not on the Protected Structure list or on the list of Architectural Heritage sites.

3.7 NOISE EMANATING FROM TRAFFIC ON THE SOUTH RING ROAD

In response to the following question submitted by Comhairleoir J. Buttimer, a written reply was circulated as outlined below:-

To ask the City Manager in relation to noise emanating from traffic on the South Ring Road;

I. What sound mapping was conducted on the South Ring Road between the Kinsale Road Flyover/Interchange and the Bandon Road Flyover/Interchange? II. What does the mapping show for the N40/N25 from the east of Westside Estate Togher Cork at lower Pouladuff Road flyover to the west at the Bandon Road interchange? III. What sound mitigation measures were identified for this roadway, were those measures put in place and was their efficacy assessed? IV. Can he confirm if specific wall mounted measures were identified for properties in Westside Estate and, if so, when is it proposed to have these installed? And,

V. What sound mitigation measures are identified for Brampton Court/Tiffany Downs?

I. As part of the Environment Impact Statement (EIS) process in 2003/2004, an assessment was carried out of the likely noise impact associated with the scheme as follows. In order to assess the noise impact of any proposed road scheme, the following methodology is adopted. The first stage is to assess and quantify the noise environment at representative sensitive receptors that may be affected by the proposed development. In the case of a road scheme, the selected noise sensitive locations are likely to be those in closest proximity to the proposed road. The noise levels resulting from the operational phases are then calculated using established prediction techniques. Traffic noise levels are predicted in accordance with relevant guidelines and the predicted values are then assessed against pertinent conditions in order to assess the need for mitigation measures. The noise impact is assessed by comparing the predicted noise climates both with and without the proposed scheme in place. This procedure is in accordance with the guidance currently advocated by the National Roads Authority and employed in respect of major road schemes. II. The mapping identified the mitigation measures for this roadway. These included low noise surfacing for the road pavement, solid noise barriers on the elevated flyovers and solid noise barriers/block walls at other selected locations. III. The NRA will only fund additional noise barriers where the noise levels are predicted to increase as a result of the scheme. The pre-construction noise assessment for this scheme identified the mitigation measures for this roadway and most of these have now been put in place as part of the contract. These include low noise surfacing for the road pavement, solid noise barriers on the elevated flyovers and solid noise barriers/block walls at other selected locations. The contract for this scheme requires the contractor to carry out noise surveys after the works have been completed and the cost of this work is included in the contract sum. The works are not complete so the surveys have not yet been done. IV. No wall mounted measures were identified for properties in Westside Estate. V. A 2.4m high block wall was identified for Brampton Court/Tiffany Downs but the residents opted to retain the existing mature trees rather than have a new block wall which would have required their removal.

3.8 LETTER TO CITY MANAGER BY CORK CITY COUNCIL TENANTS RESIDENTS OF THE GLEN AND RATHMORE ROADS AFFECTED BY THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE NEW CORK PRISON

In response to the following question submitted by Comhairleoir T. Gould, a written reply was circulated as outlined below:-

Has Cork City Council acted upon the request made in a letter to the City Manager on the 20/04/14 by residents of the The Glen and Rathmore Road areas who are tenants of Cork City Council and are affected by the construction of the new Cork Prison.

1. Concerns regarding the risk of structural instability to homes emerging as a consequence of vibrations arising from the major construction works being undertaken and the equipment being used on the site. 2. As construction work advances, serious problems in relation to ongoing disturbances, noise, infestation / rodents, security risks to families and children. As the landlord is Cork City Council going to do anything to support its tenants and ensure that everything is being carried out correctly?

The construction of the new Cork prison was not subject to a normal Planning Application to Cork City Council. During the consultation process that did take place, Cork City Council made a detailed submission to The Irish Prison Service raising a number of concerns. The submission, inter alia, expressed concern regarding the potential negative impact of the development on adjacent social housing both during construction and thereafter, and included recommendations regarding monitoring of noise and vibration during construction. Concerns were also addressed regarding dust levels and traffic impact. It appears that Cork City Council have not been informed as to whether any of the detailed concerns raised or the potential negative impact were addressed in the final design or whether protective measures or ongoing monitoring were incorporated into the construction contract. In the absence of any formal role by City Council’s Planning Department in monitoring the development or the construction process, the Housing Directorate will endeavour to make contact with the Irish Prison Service to establish what, if any, measures are in place to address the matters raised.

3.9 CHANGES AFFECTING LOCAL DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES

The following question was submitted by Comhairleoir M.Nugent.

Can the Manager comment on proposed changes affecting Local Development Companies?

Can the Manager clarify if Local Authorities will now be responsible for two core funding programmes of Local Development Companies (LDCs), the Local Community Development Programme & the Rural Development Programme (Leader), can the Manager confirm if these programmes will be open to public tendering with the possibility for profit companies becoming involved? Those involved in LDCs fear for the viability of their company & services they provide as a result of these changes.

This question was deferred to the next meeting of An Chomhairle.

3.10 CORK CITY COUNCIL VANS

In response to the following question submitted by Comhairleoir K. McCarthy, a written reply was circulated as outlined below:- 46

To ask the City Manager, why the 2014 City Council vans have a KK registration plus possess an ad for the maker of the coat of arms sticker on the side of the vans?

The City Council is now sourcing its fleet vehicles through a hire contract which was tendered during 2012/2013. These vehicles are hired and not owned by the City Council. There is no ads for the crest maker affixed to the vehicles.

3.11 NEW LIGHTING AT THE LOUGH

In response to the following question submitted by Comhairleoir M. Finn, a written reply was circulated as outlined below:-

Is there any progress on the provision of new lighting at The Lough?

The 2014 budgetary allocations for the Transportation Division do not provide for new lighting at the Lough. The request will however be referred to the Environment & Recreation Directorate and if resources can be secured proposals will be developed in accordance with same.

3.12 TOTAL AMOUNT COLLECTED FROM HOUSEHOLD CHARGE

In response to the following question submitted by Comhairleoir T. Shannon, a written reply was circulated as outlined below:-

To ask the City Manager to report to City Council on the total amount (in cash terms) collected from the residents of Cork City in respect of the Household Charge and the Property (Family Home) Tax over the years 2012, 2013, 2014 (2014 full year)?

How much of this Household/Property (Family Home) Tax has been returned to Cork City Council as promised by the Government when imposing this tax for use locally in the provision of services to residents of Cork City?

What would the impact (in cash terms) be on the finances of Cork City Council if the following came about:

(a) 15% reduction in the amount levied under the Property (Family Home) Tax? (b) 15% increase in the amount levied under the Property (Family Home) Tax?

What impact would a & b above have on the average (typical) household in Cork City (in cash terms), in terms of savings or increases levied?

The Household Charge, requiring the owners of certain residential properties to pay an annual household charge in respect of each property to the local Authority in whose functional area the residential property was situated, came into effect with the passing 47 of the “Local Government (Household Charge) Act 2011”. A full charge applied for 2012. The amount collected in 2012 in respect of the Cork City area was € 3.55m.

The Local Property Tax, which is a charge on the market value of all residential properties in the State, came into effect with the passing of the “Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012”. It is being administered by the Revenue Commissioners and a half year charge applied in 2013. A full year charge will apply in 2014.

The latest available figures published by the Revenue Commissioner, (February 2014), which is a preliminary analysis advise that there was a 93% national compliance rate in 2013, with actual collections of €242m.

For Cork City there was a compliance rate of approximately 91.4% in 2013, with actual collections of €5.6m.

While the 2014 forecasted yield for LPT nationally is €550 million, the Commissioners advise that it is not possible to state the precise amount of LPT which is expected to be collected for Cork City Council in 2014. A number of factors could affect the outcome, including the continuation of the strong level of voluntary compliance that was achieved in 2013, the impact of Revenue s compliance programme to follow up with those liable persons who have failed to meet their LPT obligations for 2013 and 2014, and the compliance programme for the collection of arrears of household charge/LPT.

Based on similar compliance and collection rates for 2014 as in 2013, the expected collectable amount to be paid by Cork City Households will be €11.2m.

The Household Charge for 2012 and the Local Property Tax for 2013 and 2014 are paid into the Local Government Fund and there is no direct relationship with the General Purpose allocation to Cork City Council.

Sections 19,20 and 21 of the Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012 provide that a local authority may pass a resolution that the basic rate of property tax can be varied (either upwards or downwards) by a specified percentage (not to exceed 15%) in respect of relevant properties situated in the local authority’s functional area.

Where a local authority passes such a resolution, it must notify the minister in writing and inform the Revenue Commissioners of the local adjustment factor.

It is anticipated that July 1st 2014 will be appointed as the day on which sections 19, 20 and 21 of the Finance (Local Property Tax) Act come into operation so as to allow the charge for 2015 to be varied.

If 80% of the LPT were to be remitted directly to the relevant local authorities, a 15% variation for Cork City Council based on most recent Revenue Commissioners reports would result in either a reduction or increase in income of €1,344,000 for the City Council.

There are no statistics to hand as to the number of Cork City houses within the various valuation bands.
