Chairperson Page 9 Commercial and Strategy Committee Meeting Agenda 9 June 2020 7 Reports 7.1 LGFA Trust Deed Amendment Author: David Codyre, Chief Financial Officer Authoriser: Donna Cross, Group Manager Commercial and Strategy Recommendation That Council: 1. Notes and receives the report, and 2. Resolves that it has considered the following three deeds, approves the entry by Timaru District Council into those deeds, and authorises two elected members to execute those deeds on behalf of Timaru District Council: a. Amendment and Restatement Deed (Notes Subscription Agreement) b. Amendment and Restatement Deed (Guarantee and Indemnity) c. Amendment and Restatement Deed (Multi-Issuer Deed) Purpose of Report 1 The purpose of the report is to consider approving the amendment of specific Debenture Trust Deed documents. Assessment of Significance 2 The assessment of significance is low. Background 3 The Council deals primarily with the New Zealand Local Government Funding Authority (LGFA) for external loans. 4 Council has a Debenture Trust Deed with LFGA. This allows Council to issue security stock to fund its debt requirements. 5 LGFA was established to provide a cheaper debt funding alternative for Local Authorities than what is available from banks. LGFA has a AA+ credit rating from Standard and Poors, which is the same rating as held by the New Zealand Government. 6 Timaru District Council is required to be a guarantor to the LGFA scheme as it has in excess of $20 million of total borrowings from LGFA. 7 As a guarantor, Council is guaranteeing the financial obligations of LGFA. Council’s share of the obligation is based on its rates income comparable to the rates income of other shareholders and guarantors. Council’s rates income means it acts as a guarantee in relation to 0.9% of the bills and bonds issued by LGFA. Currently, Council’s share of the total guarantee Item 7.1 Page 10 Commercial and Strategy Committee Meeting Agenda 9 June 2020 is $109 million out of $12.1 billion. The risk of LGFA calling on the full extent of the guarantee or defaulting is seen as unlikely due to covenants imposed on its borrowers and its strong credit rating. For Council to be required to pay the $109 million, every other Council borrower in the scheme would need to default with no prospect of recovery. 8 LGFA intends to amend its borrowing programme. Three documents that form part of the Debenture Trust Deed, namely the Notes Subscription Agreement, the Guarantee and Indemnity, and the Multi-Issuer Deed, are proposed to be amended by LGFA. Discussion 9 The purpose of the amendments proposed by LGFA is to: 9.1 enable approved council-controlled organisations to borrow directly through the LGFA borrowing programme (on the basis of a guarantee from and/or sufficient uncalled capital issued to the parent local authority); 9.2 allow a local authority to apply to LGFA to be tested at the group level rather than at the parent level for compliance with LGFA covenants; 9.3

  • Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington
    Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington September 2017 ISBN 978-0-9941409-4-4 (PDF) Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington About the Author As an American living in New Zealand, I’ve been observing the debate here on immigration and multiculturalism. I arrived in Wellington last year with my Kiwi husband and three-year old son – and while settling in we’ve spent a lot of time discovering the delights of the city and its people. The experience also gave me some perspective on being a migrant far from home. I have a professional interest in South East Asian history, languages and culture - I just completed a PhD on the subject. I speak some Filipino, and am fascinated by the Philippines’ complex history. One of the major phenomena in the Philippines since the 1970s has been the growth of the global Filipino diaspora. That story has often been full of sadness. So I was intrigued by anecdotes of positivity and success from Wellington. Writing about how the migrant Filipino community has settled in New Zealand has been more than just a research project. It has highlighted how migration plays a role in community building. It also has meaning for me and my family’s future here. I really wanted to share some of the stories that I think reflect successful outcomes from immigration over the past thirty years. By Dr Rebecca Townsend 1 Key Points 1. 2. 3.

  • Title: Timaru's District Wide Sewer Strategy Author
    Title: Timaru’s District Wide Sewer Strategy Author: Ashley Harper, Timaru District Council Abstract: Timaru’s District Wide Sewer Strategy Key Words: Wastewater Strategy, Working Party, Community, Oxidation Ponds, Wetlands, Trunk Sewers, Tunnels Introduction The Timaru District has four main urban areas, namely Timaru, and the inland towns of Geraldine, Pleasant Point and Temuka, with each of these areas having a traditional piped sewer network. The total population served within these urban areas is 40,000. #:872456 Since 1987 Timaru’s wastewater had been treated via a 0.5 milliscreening plant and associated ocean outfall, while each of the three inland towns utilised oxidation ponds and river discharge as the wastewater treatment and disposal process. In 1996 the Timaru District Council initiated a review of the respective wastewater treatment and disposal strategies, primarily because of emerging environmental and regulatory issues. Council supported a community based approach to identifying a preferred strategy, noting that the strategy needed to be robust and viable and to recognise the unique nature of the Timaru District’s effluent. Compliance with proposed environmental standards was a non negotiable requirement. Wastewater Working Party The community based approach involved the appointment of an experienced facilitator (Gay Pavelka) and the formation of a Wastewater Working Party in 1997. Membership of the working party was made up of representatives of the following organisations: Timaru District Council Community Boards

The CDHB is responsible for promoting the reduction of adverse environmental effects on the health of people and communities and to improve, promote and protect their health pursuant to the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 and the Health Act 1956. 3. These statutory obligations are the responsibility of the Ministry of Health and, in the Canterbury District, are carried out under contract by Community and Public Health under Crown funding agreements on behalf of the Canterbury District Health Board. General comments 4. Health and wellbeing (overall quality of life) is influenced by a wide range of factors beyond the health sector. These influences can be described as the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, and are impacted by environmental, social and behavioural factors. They are often referred to as the ‘social determinants of health1. Barton and Grant’s Health Map2 shows how various influences on health are complex and interlinked.

  • Taupō District Council Infrastructure Strategy 2021-51
    Taupō District Council Infrastructure Strategy 2021-51 Taupō District Council Infrastructure Strategy 2021-51 1. PURPOSE The purpose of this Infrastructure Strategy to identify issues that will face Council’s infrastructure over the next 30 years, and to identify the options available for addressing the issues. 2. INTRODUCTION Infrastructure is essential to connect people and place. In Aotearoa, the provision of services and facilities that meet the current and future needs of communities falls under the responsibilities of district councils. Effective infrastructure planning is critical to ensure economic prosperity and to enable populations to access fundamental services and facilities of everyday living. However, building and maintaining infrastructure is expensive and requires careful and considered management to ensure the current and future needs of communities are provided for. Strategic and integrated planning is required to review, anticipate and adapt to changing scenarios There are six themes that will influence the decisions we make about maintaining and managing our infrastructure over the next 30 years. These themes are: • Population and demographic change • Protecting the health of our communities • Protecting the health of our environment • Maintaining and renewing our infrastructure • The resilience of our infrastructure • Providing for the Māori world view By understanding these themes mentioned above, the strategy will identify the issues facing our infrastructure and then discuss the options available for responding
