What is the process for 'redirecting' targeted rates?
John Robson made this Official Information request to Tauranga City Council
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for John Robson to read recent responses and update the status.
From: John Robson
Dear Tauranga City Council,
Regarding the recent public statements concerning the $29million Pacific Apartments settlement, and, in particular, the “redirection” of finances from the council’s stormwater fund, could you please advise:
• What is the current value of the stormwater fund?
• What is the total targeted rate applied to the fund (by financial year) since its inception?
• How much has been used by the Stormwater Activity (by financial year)?
• How much has been ‘redirected’ to date, and for what purpose (by financial year)?
• What further ‘redirections’ are planned, and for what purpose (by financial year)?
Given the publicly stated intent at the time of the targeted rate’s creation was that it would only be used for the Stormwater Activity, can you please advise:
• Whether there has been a formal decision to vary the intended purpose of the targeted rate?
• And, if yes, can you please provide all records (correspondence, advice, reports, etc.) relevant to that decision?
And, finally, given the recent creation of a number of targeted rates, can you please advise:
• Is it possible that these new targeted rates could themselves be ‘redirected’?
• And, if yes, what the process would be for such a redirection to occur?
Yours faithfully,
John Robson
