Document number R16987, agenda pages 4 - 41 refer.

NTRLBU General Manager, Nathan Clark, presented the report and advised members that the extraordinary meeting was called as the changes to the Business Plan were more than minor and therefore not covered by the resolution that allowed the Chair to approve minor changes to finalise the Business Plan.

Attendance: Councillor Fulton joined the meeting at 1.10p.m.

Mr Clark explained that when the annual return for the unique emission factor savings was accepted, it was backdated to January 2019 and provided a total of approximately $1.2m savings. The savings would be allocated to pay off accumulated debt, therefore future budgets no longer included paying that debt.

Attendance: Mr Stephens left the meeting at 1.15p.m.

Mr Clark answered questions on overall landfill life and increasing gas extraction for the hospital boiler.

Responding to a question on what effect increasing the 20/21 budget for the three year capital works programme on NCC’s Annual Plan (currently out for consultation) would be, Accountant, Andrew Bishop, advised that, while it would flow through to Councils Annual Plans, the quantum was not significant as it was a closed account and the costs were shared with Tasman District Council. 

Attendance: Mr Stephens returned to the meeting at 1.26p.m.
