Paying for the council debt
If there is a niggling sense of deja vu in the contretemps
surrounding the Dunedin City Council's newly announced debt
"hole", it is because fundamental aspects of the crisis have
indeed been played out previously.
These include a categorical admission the council's holding
company was not earning sufficient to meet its promised
dividend returns to the council; and that it was having to
borrow money to meet those commitments.
In mid-March, the Otago Daily Times reported Dunedin Mayor
Dave Cull had questioned the ability of the council's group
of companies to pay what it promised for the Forsyth Barr
Stadium. He said the council should have been advised earlier
there was a problem and the issue would be the first agenda
item for a new group set up to liaise with council-controlled
organisations (CCOs). While the company had told the council
it could come up with the payment "it would appear that is
not the case", Mr Cull then said. There was an unsustainable
level of debt and the council would have "to look at
cost-cutting options seriously" - including putting off
projects and reducing operating costs.
Mr Cull's claims were countered in the same article by
Dunedin City Holdings Ltd (DCHL) chairman Paul Hudson, who
appeared bemused by the mayor's comments. "It's totally news
to me," he said, adding DCHL was required to pay a dividend
and was doing so, yet there was a proviso: the holding
company had been paying a dividend to the council but it was
having to borrow money to pay for it. "There will come a time
when that is no longer sustainable," he said. The company was
"not running out of money tomorrow or next year", he said,
but it was putting out a signal the dividend needed to come
from earnings rather than borrowings. "We are having that
conversation at the moment.
