LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Council’s bank balance not growingWaipa District Coun-
cil is forecasting a $2million operating sur-plus this financial yearand is expecting a gen-eral funds break evenposition.
However, while coun-cil books will be in theblack this is not growingcouncil’s bank balance.
Chief financial officerKen Morris said therehad been some confusionregarding the meaning ofan operating surplus fol-lowing a report of thelevel of council surplusesfor the past seven years.
It did not mean thecouncil had been overrating its residents.
‘‘Any operating sur-plus generally comesfrom non-cash itemswhich includes infra-structure gifted as part ofdevelopment work suchas pipes and roads, first
time recognition ofassets, gains on revalu-ation of property andcash received for assetrelated spending,’’ saidMr Morris.
‘‘As a non-profitorganisation that ratesits residents to ‘balancethe books’ we always aimto break even in generalfunds or get as close tobreak even as possible.’’
‘‘While large operat-ing surpluses arereported, in reality coun-cil is only taking inenough cash income tomeet our spendingrequirements.’’
Mr Morris said thecouncil’s method ofreporting was requiredunder the InternationalFinancial ReportingStandards and all finan-cial reporting isstringently audited bythe Office of the Auditor
General each year aspart of the AnnualReport process.
‘‘Council has beencriticised for what hasbeen recorded as incomeand the large surplusesin our financialstatements but we mustfollow the rules. Theaccounting standardsrequire the non-cashitems noted above andthe cash received forasset related spending tobe shown as income.’’
In answer to criticismregarding the councilraising loans to spreadoperating costs over aperiod of years, Mr Mor-ris said this has occurredin very few instancesand only where thespending provides bene-fit over a number ofyears.
The borrowing isused as a means of
spreading the cost acrossthe period of time thatthe benefit is provided.The reasoning is thesame as for spreadingthe cost of assets acrossthe ratepayers who bene-fit from them. In thatcase depreciation is usedto spread the cost fairly.In the case of these itemsthe accounting rulesrequire the item to beclassed as operatingexpenditure so we can-not use depreciation as ameans of spreading thecost.
‘‘It would not be fairfor the ratepayers to payall the cost in year onewhen ratepayers overthe following 10, 20, 30years or more will bene-fit without paying.’’
Operating expendi-ture items currently loanfunded by Waipa DistrictCouncil are the District
Plan, which sets theplanning rules of the dis-trict for the next 10 years($3.2m), the WaipaGrowth Strategy, a keypiece of work used as abase for the District Planso also with a life of 10years ($100k), a grant forthe Cambridge Gymwhich is a key commun-ity asset but classed asoperating expenditurebecause it is not ownedby Council ($1.8m) andthe digitisation projectwhich has large upfrontcost to convert councilfiles to electronic formatbut provides benefit overmany years to come($350k).■ Editor’s note: I amclosing correspond-ence on the issue ofCouncil’s financialsituation until therelease of the AnnualReport, in September.
A big thanks forreturning my wallet
I would like to express mygratitude to the kind personwho found my wallet andhanded it into the local policestation on either Friday, June 8or Saturday, June 9.
I looked everywhere andwas shocked and delighted tosee that it had been handed inwhen I called into the police
station by chance.Not only did you save me the
hassle of cancelling my bankand credit cards and applyingfor a new driving license youalso proved there are decentand honest people in the com-munity.
Thanks again.ALEX GEORGESON
Council not hearingCongratulations to the Bay
of Plenty Regional Council forlistening to the people andturning down the Home ofCycling Trust’s request forfunding from rates for theirvelodrome.
It is interesting to see thatdemocracy is not dead in theBay of Plenty, because it cer-tainly is in the Waikato Region.
It will also be interesting tosee what will happen in view ofthe BOP’s decision as to
whether Waikato RegionalCouncil will still allow thevelodrome to go ahead by givingthem their $6 million contri-bution in spite of the assurancesthey gave their ratepayers inthe past that they would not doso unless all the other moneywas in first — or if they willonce more ignore the ratepayersand find some excuse to give themoney anyway.

Fonterra councillor urgesshareholders to have say
Councillor Kevin Ferris
Fonterra Share-holders’ Councillor KevinFerris says he is confidentthe council’s robust two-year Trading AmongFarmers (TAF) reviewprocess has dealt with theissues most concerningshareholders.
Mr Ferris was one ofthe overwhelming major-ity of councillors whovoted in favour ofimplementing TAF.
He says the additionallayers of farmer securitythat the resolutions willembed in the Fonterraconstitution and legaldocuments that willgovern TAF have givenhim the confidence heneeds to support the newcapital structure.
‘‘I have been involvedin the TAF review sincethe start and throughoutthe council has worked toensure 100 per cent farmerownership and control,the integrity of the milkprice and its governance,and limits to the size of theshareholders’ fund.
‘‘The resolutions that Isupport and that share-holders are now beingasked to vote on absolute-ly strengthen these fromthe perspective of suppliershareholders.’’
These addedprotections will include
the board consulting withthe council on fund sizemanagement and thecouncil having the powerto implement measures —should the various fundthresholds be breached.
This will enshrine inthe constitution the pur-pose of TAF and thecouncil’s right to appointtwo members to the milkprice.
The board alsoproposes to amend the con-stitution by reducing thesize of the shareholders’fund threshold from 25 to20 per cent, the amount ofdry shares on offer from 25to 15 per cent, as well as acap on the amount of wetshares an individualshareholder can put intothe fund to 33 per cent oftheir total shares.
Mr Ferris says thecouncil has worked hardto ensure farmer protec-tion was as tight as it canbe under New Zealandlaw.
‘‘Ninety-three per centof the shareholders’ coun-cil voted to continue theprocess of TAF, subject tothe last two preconditionsbeing met.
‘‘Shareholders can votewith confidence knowingthe resolutions the councilpresented will betterenable us to oversee TAF
from farmer shareholders’perspectives.’’
Mr Ferris says while heis comfortable with theTAF proposal as it stands,there are still one or twoissues that need to beticked off before the coun-cil can give its final con-sent to TAF.
‘‘Issues such as awaivers and consent,ensuring the DIRA legisla-tion does what it needs tohave to be finalised but,based on the informationcurrently available to us, Idon’t see any reason whythe council would not voteto implement TAF.
‘‘With confidencearound farmer protectionssecure I am keen to seewhat the co-op can domoving forward with a
solid capital base.’’Mr Ferris says it is
only right that share-holders have their finalsay on TAF and thecouncil’s focus is now onensuring they absolutelyunderstand what theyare being asked to voteon.
‘‘This vote is just asimportant as 2010’s andfarmers need to workthrough the TAF detail,which they have beenprovided.
‘‘My fellow council-lors and I will be meetingwith shareholdersthroughout our wards tohelp answer questionsand provide claritywherever possible.
‘‘The most importantthing is that share-holders vote and votewith confidence. Thatconfidence is what we asa council have worked toreach over the past twoyears and it is what wewill be working to instilin our shareholders — itis their right to feel confi-dent that TAF is right forthem and Fonterra.
‘‘A key component of ahealthy co-op is partici-pation. I urge all share-holders to demonstratetheir commitment toFonterra and help deter-mine its future.’’

If you wondered what the little,black smart-car was doing cruisingthe streets of Te Awamutu lastweek — wonder no longer.
The car belongs to Cambridgefirm Car Parking Technologies(CPT) and was surveying parkingareas for Waipa District Council.
When surveying streets the cardrives close to the left hand side ofthe road so that the two onboardcameras can read carnumberplates.
The men inside the car — DeanLarkin and Nick Amos — say this isso they can build up a picture ofwhere cars are parking in TeAwamutu — and for how long.
‘‘There is an infra-red cameraand a colour camera, both scanlooking for number plates. The onewith the best picture then logs itinto each sector (street).
‘‘It’s collecting data to build up apicture of parking habits between8am and 5pm.
‘‘We go out every hour and clockup about 850 runs per week.
‘‘The data is then passed on tocouncil so that they can view thesurvey and make decisions aboutparking.’’
Waipa District Council managerof planning and regulatory WayneAllen says a similar survey waspreviously carried out in Cam-bridge.
‘‘We have parking limits in bothtowns and are interested to see ifthese limits are being compliedwith.
‘‘So we will be studying theresults from both towns to see ifpeople are abiding by the parking
limits or if not, what the possiblereasons are for that.’’
Car Parking TechnologiesCPT is an award-winning com-
pany, having collected the VocoInnovative Hi-Tech Services Pro-duct Award earlier this year.
The winner of the award isrecognised as a company that hassuccessfully introduced an excit-ing, new hi-tech service to themarket.
The service must be based onprovision of software and/or hard-
ware services, or both, and mustdeliver a clear value proposition tothe end user.
The panel of judges felt that‘‘SmartRep’’, CPT’s leading edgereporting system, coupled with itsinnovative wireless hardware, metthese criteria.
CPT founder and CEO PaulCollins says winning the awardwas great recognition for the com-pany.
‘‘It further cements our positionas the leading technology companyin our industry, worldwide.’’

PROMISING young Te Awamutu swimmer JenniferClark with her achiever of the day certificate andcoach Shelly Moriarty.
BY COLIN THORSEN
Special Olympics TeAwamutu swimmers aregoing from strength tostrength.
The club’s second swimmeet attracted 105 entriesfrom 11 clubs at Living-stone Aquatics at Te Awa-mutu Events Centre.
Te Awamutu’s team of17 (six more than last year)competed in 39 races andrecorded 38 top threeplacings. Each and everyone of them posted per-sonal bests and wereinvolved in relays.
It was a mighty show ofstrength by the locals whowere joined in competitionby visitors from Whanga-rei, Tamaki, Counties,North Harbour, Auckland,Thames Valley, Taupo,Tauranga, Rotorua andWaikato.
Six of the Te Awamututeam competed in theirfirst ever event. SamCrook, Peter Crawford(exceptional lawn bowler),Vincent Schalkwyk,Hannah MacFarlane,Wendy Paton and newest/youngest member, 10-year-old Jennifer Clark allacquitted themselvesadmirably.
Young Clark was pre-sented with a certificate foroutstanding achiever of theday. She placed fifth in 25mfreestyle and third in 50m
freestyle. Coach, ShellyMoriarty says the young-ster has only been to threetrainings and shows hugepromise.
Stacey Parker andDeshan Walallavita wereoutstanding, both achiev-ing three firsts andsmashing their PBs.
Sam Crook, DillonKnoetze and Peter Craw-ford all recorded two winsand a second placing withPBs.
The Te Awamutu Arelay team of Knoetze,Crook, Parker andWalallavita retained theirunbeaten 4 x 25m freestylerecord, now spanningthree years.
Moriarty says all fourteam members are pro-ficient in individualstrokes and it is now timefor them to enter the morechallenging 4 x 25m medleyrelay.
The coach is confidentTe Awamutu’s squad ofswimmers have the poten-tial to perform well at theNational Summer Gamesin Dunedin next year, judg-ing by the performances atthis meet.
Te Awamutu is alsolikely to be represented atthe nationals in athleticsand indoor bowls.
The club was heartenedonce again by the supportfrom the community —committee, family, friends
all rallying around to vol-unteer their time for theday.
Moriarty says ‘‘specialthanks goes to the busi-nesses that sponsored theevent — Redoubt Bar andEatery (Mick Henderson,who came down and pre-sented the ribbons on theday), Harlequin SwimSchool, Bailey Ingham andTe Awamutu Swim Club
who supported us with thisevent.
‘‘Support from oursponsors enables the clubto host a swim meet annu-ally and provides the valu-able opportunity for ourathletes to competeregionally.
‘‘Thanks also to theofficials for volunteeringtheir expertise for theday.’’

Kimbra coming homeKimbra —
New Zealand’slatest singingsensation isreturning homefor a special oneoff concert andwe have aDeluxe Editioncopy of herNumber 1 albumVows for you towin ahead of theshow.
Kimbra playsAuckland’s Vec-tor Arena onSaturday, July28 with supportfrom The BlackSeeds, Mt. Eden,Ruby Frost andDJ Vandalism
Vows hasgone platinumhere and in Australia andshot to Number 14 on theBillboard charts whenreleased in the USA. Wow!
Here’s what one reviewerhad, in part, to say about itand the lady herself . . .
‘‘Echoing the experimentalnature of recent collaboratorGotye, whose number onesingle Somebody That I Usedto Know she stole the show on,New Zealand songstressKimbra’s debut album, Vowsis a schizophrenic affair thatis almost impossible to pigeon-hole.
Effortlessly flitting frombubblegum pop starlet on theplayful old-skool beats and
‘60s doo wop vocals of CameoLover, to smoky chanteuse onthe Sade-esque cocktaillounge jazz-soul of Withdraw,to avant-garde banshee onthe melancholic music box-inspired closer, The BuildUp, Kimbra’s chameleon-liketendencies ensure thatpredictability is certainlynever an issue on any one ofits 12 genre-hopping tracks.
For the most part,Kimbra’s invention is a mar-vel to behold, as her enchant-ing and swooping jazz-poptones glide across a veritablefeast of sounds, from theflirtatious ‘80s synths andfunky slap-bass of Prince
pastiche CallMe, to the hyp-notic doublebasslines and‘30s show tuneharmonies ofGood Intent, tothe plinky pianohooks andrhythmic R&Bgrooves ofopener SettleDown, while abeautifullygothic take onPlain Gold Ringis one of the rareinstances of aNina Simonecover matchingthe original.
It will beinteresting tosee if she decidesto pursue a more
streamlined direction in thefuture, but by threading itswidely eclectic range of influ-ences together in such animpressively cohesive man-ner, Vows suggests shemight never need to.’’
Check out the album andhead to the show. It’s a mustsee! Tickets fromTicketmaster.
■ To be in towin simply putyour name, address and daytimephone number on the back of astandard sized envelope,address it to the Kimbra CDCompetition andmake sure itreaches our office by 5pm,Tuesday.
