Council news

RATES REMISSIONS PROMPT DISCUSSION Should the council be helping-out struggling clubs by granting rates remissions while the organisation was still active, or waiting to assist when it was in trouble? Discussion about this issue was prompted by an application from Clinton Community Squash Club, for a rates remission of greater than 50 per cent. Organisations can apply for up to 100 per cent rates remission, which is granted on a case by case basis, depending on income, expenditure and assets. Many South Otago clubs faced low membership and were struggling to pay insurance and rates, Cr John Cochrane said. A number of councillors agreed with him. However, when put to the vote, it was decided that if a bigger rates cut was granted to the Clinton club, then the council would need to go back and review the others for consistency, and indeed the council’s entire rates remission policy. It was voted that the Clinton club’s remission would remain at 50 per cent.
