Topic: Long-term Plan December workshop
Enquiry
Just wanting to clarify something please - at the Dec 15 workshop [Councillor] Gregg Brown said the three years of the newer draft modelled a total 28pc rise, while the initial draft was total 25pc.
He assumed it modelled in price increases but colle said no and he would check with the team. Gregg said he hasn't heard yet - can someone please check for me where this increase came from and if the modelling at that workshop is correct?
Can it also please be explained specifically what the deferred work was? I know renewals and operating costs, but what specifically?
Response
Reporter was informed that this information would have to come from Group Manager Corporate Services [which includes finance] Thomas Collé (as he was the presenter at the workshop) so we would not be able to respond until his return from leave.
