1.
noted that:
a. the opening Reserves as at 1 July 2023 is $16.404m
b. with the Board approved minimum reserves of
$2.221m, the maximum deficit that the
Commission can afford for financial year 2023/24 is
$14.183m
2.
noted that the projected total operating expenditure for
2023/24 is $137.786m with an expected deficit of
$14.113m, approximately 25% higher than budgeted deficit
of $11.308m
The December 2023 Finance Report was noted, and Emma Gillard described
recent developments since the report was completed. The current reserve
levels appear to be manageable, and contractor spending is reducing as
planned. There will be some minor unbudgeted costs for supplying the roll
extract for the 20 July Tauranga local authority election. The Commission has
placed a hold on recruitment other than for critical roles, and there has been
promising progress recently on reducing staff TOIL balances over the summer
months. The Board also briefly discussed GE23 budgeting on field staff
rostering and costs. The Board noted that forecasted costs which could be
reduced, deferred or stopped were under consideration by senior
management, and that the Board would receive ongoing reports on strategic or
potentially controversial spending decisions and trade-offs.
