The provision of a loan (funded from commonage income) to support the capitalupgrade of the West Otago Swimming Pool was included in a previous Annual Plan butdue to the great fundraising effort of the Pool Committee, this loan was not required tobe drawn down.

2. Available Balance

After allocating funds to the West Otago Community Centre and Tapanui Pool respectively for 2020/2021 there is an additional $63,000 available for allocation to the end of this financial year as shown in the table below.

The Board is therefore asked to consider how it will allocate the existing available funds and the Tapanui Commonage Land income for the 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2022/24 years.

It is recommended that the Community Board consider the allocation of funds before the start of the financial year, so they are available for use during the year.

3. West Otago Health Trust Operational Funding Assistance

The West Otago Health trust has previously requested assistance with annual operating costs

4. West Otago Health Trust Loan Repayments

The projected balance of the West Otago Health Loan Trust loan as at 1 July 2021 is about $659,680. This is being repaid currently at the rate of about $54,700+GST per annum for interest and principal repayments. These have dropped compared to previous years due to a reduction in interest rates. As such, if interest rates increase in the future then these repayments will also increase. This loan has 13 years left after this year before it will be fully repaid.

West Otago Community Board – 14 April 2021 Tapanui Commonage Income

In the past the Community Board has considered paying off the principal of this loan with commonage money to enable the loan term to be reduced or the annual repayments to be reduced. This is also an option for the use of unallocated Commonage money.

5. Other projects or worthy causes

As mentioned previously, there may be a need to support the West Otago Community Centre with capital works or retain funds for upcoming projects associated with the West Otago Community plan process. There may also be other worthy projects in the community that may benefit from assistance and the WOCB may want to retain some commonage funding to enable these projects to be supported as they are confirmed.

WEST OTAGO COMMUNITY BOARD WORK IN PROGRESS UPDATE

FOR THE MEETING 14 APRIL 2021 Issue Comments

Projects • Christmas Tree for centre of Tapanui.

• Cellphone Tower booster

Christmas Tree continues to be a WIP. The Beech Tree has been trimmed and the wires have been removed by a local electrician. MP Joseph Mooney attended the meeting and advised that he will continue to progress this with National’s Communications spokesperson and Great South.

Duncan Road/Station Road Intersection • Concerns about the intersection after a

recent near miss.

Council staff are reviewing options for this intersection. This will be ongoing.

and the high consumption by Tapanui residents.

The water conservation sign has been made and delivered to Tapanui. Installation will be done once final approval has been received from Foodstuffs, however it is unlikely to be installed before water restrictions are lifted. Low levels in the Pomahaka River have meant that Council has issued a conserve water notice for the Tapanui Water Supply but at this stage level 1 Restrictions are still in place.

Items to stay on WIP: • Kelso Triangle

• Hancox Park added (10 July 2019). Lease renewal 31 August 2021.

This area will now be added to the mowing schedule. Decision on future use to be made before lease is renewed in 12 months’ time.

Road Signs & Barriers • Concerns expressed re bridge during

flood events.

Approval from farm owners is required on the barrier placements before they are installed.
