7 COMHAIRLE CATHRACH CHORCAÍ CORK CITY COUNCIL Budget 2015 A Ard-Mhéara agus Comhairleoirí, I enclose for your consideration the 2015 draft Budget for Cork City Council. The overall revenue expenditure proposed for 2015 is 152,412,100 by comparison with 165,227,600 for This represents a decrease of 12.8m, of which 10.4m arises as a result of non pay expenditure being incurred by Irish Water directly rather than by Cork City Council, reduction of 881,800 in Higher Education Grants with matching reductions in income. Preparing this year s budget for consideration and adoption by Council has been a difficult task. The general economic climate and state of the national finances continues to impact on the City Council. Many of our income sources continue to be under severe pressure, while increased demand for services in many areas further exacerbates the pressure on the city s finances. The challenge of the budget is to ensure that the Council continues to achieve a balanced allocation of resources to ensure that it meets the many competing demands across the social, economic, cultural, environmental and infrastructural development of the city. In bringing a balanced budget before Council for consideration at its statutory meeting, to set the Local Adjustment Factor (LAF) for the Local Property Tax (LPT) on September 29 th, cognisance had been taken of the many debates at City Council meetings throughout 2014 on areas of importance to Council and the city. The views and priorities of Council, as expressed through pre-budget meetings and by the Corporate Policy Group, were also factored into the estimated income and expenditure for 2015 which were examined in detail by the Finance and Estimates Committee of Council. A provision of 1,248,000 had been included in the draft estimates for priorities to be decided by the elected members so as to enhance the services provided for the city of Cork in their areas. The decision of the members to set a local adjustment factor of -10% for the Local Property Tax in respect of 2015 equates to a reduction of 1,144,727 in the anticipated income from the Local Property Tax and significantly reduced the level of discretionary expenditure available to members. A provision of 248,000 has however been maintained in respect of Ward Funds. Strong financial management and budgetary control has resulted in a balanced outturn for each year although the Council had to include 377,800 from its Revenue reserves in adopting the 2014 Budget and 391,900 has been factored in for While the City Council has been successful over the past 10 years in eliminating what was a very significant revenue deficit the provision for 2015 will exhaust the revenue reserve. These changes have been factored into the draft budget now presented, which represents a considered and reasonable balance between the desirability of maintaining services and our ability to fund them given the current economic situation and the financial position of the Council. Staffing Throughout 2014 staffing levels continued to decline through retirement, early retirement schemes, career breaks and the non replacement of scheduled retirees. As of the 1 st November a total of 367 employees had left the organisation and were not replaced. The independent review of the staffing complement of the City Council under the aegis of the Efficiency Review Group on Local Government was completed in This has set target staffing levels to be achieved by the organisation across all levels. Under this manpower plan, the total staff level of the 3

8 Council will reduce to 1,246. This was achieved during 2014 through the normal retirement of staff thus not requiring any specific intervention to achieve this overall staff complement. The full costs of pension payments in 2015, in respect of additional retirements, has been provided for. The reduction in staff numbers has resulted in staff costs declining by over 17.7m since The longer term continuous lowering of the City Council s overall payroll costs will ensure a sustainable financial position into the future. Along with this, achieving the reduction in staff numbers as provided for in the manpower plan will ensure that into 2015 and thereafter. Subject to the financial capacity of the organisation, there may be opportunity to recommence employment of staff on foot of future vacancies that would arise. Commercial Rates There is an understandable desire across the business sector for the Council to deliver a significant reduction in the annual rate on valuation. The income from this source represents 43% of total income of the City Council. While the Council has made significant progress in reducing its expenditure levels through efficiency measures and staff reductions, as evidenced by a reduction in its payroll budget of 17.7m since 2009 and significant reductions in its nonpay expenditure, it has been unable to transfer the benefits of these to ratepayers due to the level of reductions in its income base over the same period. Indeed, the 17.7m reduction in payroll costs would equate to 27% of the rate income, a reduction which could have been passed on to the business sector if grant levels were not reduced so drastically. Without the significant progress made by the Council in reducing its cost base and delivering increased operational efficiencies, it would not be possible to retain the Annual Rate on Valuation at the same level over the seven years The Council is particularly conscious of the need to ensure that, at the very least, it does not increase the burden on the 6,500 ratepayers in the city. While the economy is beginning to show signs of stability, and entering an initial recovery phase, it would also be important to ensure that the annual rate on valuation would continue to be maintained at its current level for the next 2-3 years. It will be important to continue to have stability in the annual rate of valuation for rates revenue purposes over future periods. In the context of not providing for a reduction in rates, it is important to note that the budget provides for a full continuation of the City Council s vibrant Arts, Cultural and Festivals programme. The budget also provides for a continuation and enhancement of our input into leading the tourism development of Cork City, while our Economic Development Fund is also continued, with a further contribution of 651,000 being 1% of rates. Along with this, the budget will again include an allocation of funding of 250,000 to support initiatives that will be associated with the Council s city centre strategy. Water Services The water services budget is presented on the basis that the full cost of the management and operation of the water and waste water services for the city in 2015 are recouped in full from Irish Water. The delivery of water services in the country transferred from the Local Authorities from the 1 st January 2014 to Irish Water. The resultant position is that the City Council will continue to operate the water services on an agency basis for Irish Water under a 12 year service level agreement. In essence, it will be the City Council s existing staff that will continue to operate this service into the future. The billing and collection of water charges from the non-domestic sector did not transfer to Irish Water during 2014 as anticipated and continues to be undertaken by the City Council on behalf of Irish Water. This position may ultimately change as 2015 progresses and as the planned introduction of charging for water to the domestic sector is implemented. For 2015, the current water charges of 2.44 per cubic metre will be the charge to be applied to bills. 4

9 Car Parking Charges and Parking Regulation There will be no increase in car parking charges in 2015 which remain generally at 1.70/ 2.00 for both on-street and off-street parking. The Council s multi-storey car-parks at Paul Street and Kyrls Quay/North Main Street are the cheapest in the city. In the case of on-street car parking, the re-tendering of the Park-by-Phone service is expected to be completed by the end of There is significant opportunity to grow Park-by-Phone usage as the preferred method for the majority of vehicle owners paying for on-street parking. It is an extremely convenient method and a specific focus will be placed on marketing it as such, once a new contract is entered into in It will also provide the opportunity to examine further parking promotions through this convenient payment method including customer contact and marketing opportunities. Local Authority Housing Social Housing remains a fundamental objective and priority for the City Council. A new national social housing policy is due to be launched shortly by the Minister for the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government which is anticipated will provide significant additional resources. The City Council will continue to work with the department to maximise its allocation so as to deliver comprehensive high quality social housing solutions for the city. The matter of the Council s ability to respond to the increasing level of vacant houses in its stock has been the subject of many debates at Council meetings. Considering the budget provision in 2014, the funding of voids was included at every opportunity in submission to DECLG under SHIP. In response, grant aid was received towards the cost of repairs to 188 long term voids. This grant aid did not cover the full cost of repairs and had to be supplemented from City Council s own resources. Notwithstanding the need for such co-funding, it is hoped that further DECLG grant aid towards void recovery will be available in Any such grant aid will again be represented in the capital account. Such grant aid will be in addition to the provisions included from within the City Council s own resources. In order to support this programme, a capital expenditure allocation from the Council s own resources of 1m was provided for in 2014 to ensure that a form of revolving fund could be developed for vacant houses. This will continue to support the programme for With regard to our housing programme generally, members will be aware that significant changes were made to our programme of works over the last two years. The housing maintenance programme regime will continue to be based on limited planned maintenance being undertaken with the emphasis being on responding to emergency and urgent repairs in the first instance, and any improvement works thereafter. However, recognising the considerable pressures on the housing regime at present, this budget does include an additional provision for non-pay expenditure of 300,000. Provision is included to meet the Council s liabilities for loan charges arising from the housing capital and advanced land purchase programmes. Budgeted income is set at a slightly higher level due to the positive outturn for 2014 and the introduction of a new differential rent scheme which will be phased in over a two year period beginning in July Although housing rents are based on ability to pay, there will be a need to continuously examine our methods of contact with our tenants who may be finding it difficult to maintain their rental payments, so as to ensure supportive intervention at the earliest opportunity. 5

10 Disabled Persons Grants and Disability Works to Local Authority Houses The budget as presented provides for an expenditure of approximately 1.85m in 2015 on disabled person grants to private homeowners. It is expected that the annual government grant will materialise at this level and that the Council s contribution to the overall spend will be in the order of 370,000. With regard to works on our own housing stock, our programme of works will be limited to the level of grant aid that we receive from central government and this is not likely to be notified until early Roads and Transportation The 2015 budget sees a continuation of recent years shift in emphasis in both the manner in which the Council will deliver its work programme and the type of work it will undertake. There will continue to be a very limited amount of improvement type works being undertaken with the emphasis being primarily on a care and maintenance programme. In view of the level of funds that are likely to be available through grant aid for this programme, there is a need to focus all funds on maintaining our asset base on a prioritised basis, taking account of traffic volumes and strategic importance of the route network. The block grant we receive will need to support a major portion of our maintenance works as opposed to improvement works as heretofore. In view of the aforementioned, the budget presented for adoption does not provide for specific funds in 2015 for areas such as traffic calming measures and laneway closures. Provision continues to be made for a sum of 248,000 for Ward Funds. There will continue to be a significant focus on the further development of works under the National Transport Authority funded sustainable transport programme. The City Centre Movement Strategy approved in 2013 provides the framework for targeted investment in the city over the next 4-5 years. This will form part of our capital programme and members will be advised of grant allocations as they emerge in Support to Visitor Centres, Events, Community and Arts Grants A sum in the order of 937,500 is provided for in This is an increase of 80,000 on 2014 levels and includes the retention of 250,000 for Cork Opera House. Along with this, a provision of 259,800 is also included for grants made by the Arts Committee of Council and a provision of 220,000 is made for Community Grants. The budget as presented also provides for the continuation of the Council s Community Warden Service for 2015 and this is now fully funded by the Council as is the Rapid Co-ordinator service. Overall, the combined funds across the above areas amount to over 1.7m. Economic and Enterprise Development, Tourism and Environment City Centre Strategy The City Council, as one of the biggest employers in Cork City and as a public service delivery agency, plays a significant role in facilitating initiatives aimed at increasing the attractiveness of the city for economic activity. In this regard, the 2015 budget makes specific provision for the continuation of the Economic Development Fund equivalent to 1% of total rates income or 651,000. Regular reports on the projects supported by this fund are brought to Council through the Strategic Planning, Economic Development and Enterprise Strategic Policy Committee. The success of the fund over the past three years has cemented Cork s reputation as a location which is conducive to starting a business. Cork City Council, with Cork County Council, is also leading the development of strategic messaging, marketing and branding of Cork with six local stakeholders. The brand book was completed in 2014 and will significantly add to the opportunity to strategically market Cork as a place for investment and employment, 6

11 supported by a rich educational and lifestyle offering. The structure necessary to roll out and manage this process will be finalised in Local Enterprise Office Cork City is now a constituent part of Cork City Council, replacing Cork City Enterprise Board. It will be a key instrument in delivering support to businesses in the city. In 2015, Cork City Council will prepare an Economic Development Plan under the auspices of the Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) and this plan will be based on the six drivers identified in the Draft City Development Plan Economic Diversity; Innovation; Skills and Human Capital; Connectivity; Place Quality and Strategic Governance Capacity. The City Centre Strategy and the City Centre Fund are important elements in the delivery of Place Quality, whilst the Cork Area Strategic Plan (CASP) process the City Council s Corporate Plan and the LCDC are all important components of Strategic Governance Capacity. The importance of the city centre as a critical asset to the economy of the Cork region is recognised by the Council s development of a City Centre Strategy and provision has been made to continue the 250k to support initiatives under the strategy. Change in Accounting Treatment Changes in accounting treatment require that superannuation costs must now be shown in the service support cost heading rather than as a direct cost to the service as heretofore. To assist members, comparative figures are shown in the analysis pages in the various service divisions. Conclusion The budget as presented essentially attempts to maintain funding and associated service levels at a minimum at 2014 levels. Indeed, for the second successive year, this budget does not present a series of cuts in funding to community supports, housing and roads maintenance, and modest increases have been provided to address higher costs and increasing demands in the larger spending directorates. The budget also provides funding measures aimed at addressing some strategically important areas that require specific attention. A significant effort has been made by all members of the Councils Management Team and their staff to produce a budget and associated work-programme which will ensure that the Council maximises its output and impact for the citizens of Cork City. I would like to thank the Assistant Chief Executive, all Directors of Service, Heads of Function and their staff for their work in this regard. The proposed budget provides a reasonable balance across the competing objectives of developing the social, cultural, economic, environmental and infrastructural needs of the City, in a socially inclusive manner, that Council is charged with progressing. This is a challenge for Council and I would like to thank the Lord Mayor, the Corporate Policy Group and all Members of Council for their input and assistance in the Budget preparation. I would also like in particular to convey my thanks to Tim Healy, Head of Finance, John Hallahan, Management Accountant and the staff of the Finance Directorate for their leadership in this process, their work commitment and their assistance to myself and Council. I recommend the adoption of the 2015 Budget, as prepared, to the City Council. ANN DOHERTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE 6 th November

32 28

33 SERVICE DIVISION A HOUSING & BUILDING Total Expenditure of 42.6m ( 42.9m in 2014) is provided for 2015 and represents 28% of Total Expenditure. Response Maintenance The level of resources in 2015 is similar to Demand for response maintenance remains high and priority will continue to be given to responding to Emergency and Urgent repair requests. In 2015, 20,000 is again being provided to support Age Action Ireland s Care and Repair Programme. This programme will be of significant benefit to elderly tenants who are unable to undertake minor repairs that form part of tenant s responsibilities. Fabric Upgrade to Improve Energy Efficiency During 2014 the City Council continued to avail of grant assistance from the DECLG for retrofitting of energy efficiency measures. Approximately 1500 dwellings benefitted from the scheme, which included attic and pumped cavity wall insulation, and draught proofing. It is anticipated that DECLG funding will again be provided to continue this initiative, and the City Council would hope to retrofit a similar number of dwellings in Similarly, under the SEAI Warmer Homes Scheme, 36 apartments have had external insulation fitted along with attic insulation and other related energy upgrade works as required. Void Recovery Considering the budget provision in 2014, the funding of voids was included at every opportunity in submissions to DECLG under SHIP. In response grant aid was received towards the cost of repairs to 188 long term voids. This grant aid did not cover the full cost of repairs and had to be supplemented from City Council s own resources. Notwithstanding the need for such co-funding, it is hoped that under such a scheme and the National Budget, DECLG grant aid towards void recovery will be available in Any such grant aid will again be represented in the Capital Account and will be in addition to the provisions included from within the City Council s own resources. House Construction In 2014, Cork City Council received a Capital Allocation of 1.793m for Housing Construction, from the DECLG for the completion of 3 no. Infill Schemes providing 5 units, as well as funding the final accounts on completed schemes in The Meadows Knocknacullen and Susies Field, Glentrasna, The Glen. In 2013 the DECLG sought details of housing projects which could be progressed under an Infrastructure Stimulus Package. In March 2014 Cork City Council received an allocation under the package of 5.110m for the provision of 8 units of accommodation at Shandon St and 23 units at Gerald Griffin St. Project briefs are currently being prepared on those schemes for approval by the DECLG in principle to progress to planning stage for commencement of works in The DECLG is continuing to focus their attention on alternative initiatives such as Social Leasing, RAS, CALF, housing direct etc. to address the social housing need. Regeneration - City Northwest Quarter The City Northwest Quarter Regeneration Scheme is the largest project currently being undertaken by the City Council with an estimated expenditure of 209m over a 12 year period. Completion of the Project will provide high quality housing and improved tenure mix, high quality built environment, improved social infrastructure and improvement in the economic circumstances of the area and its residents. Construction of 23 units in the first phase is underway, with completion due in late Some residents in the 2 nd phase area will be decanted to these new build units. The construction of a further 29 units in the first phase is due to commence in early Design work in relation to the second phase has commenced and is due to be completed in The Infrastructure Masterplan and Design Code/Public Realm Strategy for the five phases of the project will be completed in the first half of A Sustainable Communities Programme is one of the initiatives within the Northwest Regeneration Programme. The refurbishment of McSwiney Sports Hall was completed under this programme in 2014, with the permanent closure of Hollyhill Lane to be completed in early Both the Spriggs Road and Glen Regeneration Phase 2 projects were completed in Other projects to be commenced in 2015 include; Public Realm works Foyle Avenue. New through road-st. Mary s Hospital Campus. Town Centre Plaza (adjacent to new Library). Reservoir Amenity (adjacent to Harbour View Road and the community Garden). 29

34 SERVICE DIVISION A HOUSING & BUILDING Long Term Leasing In 2010, the Government introduced a new Social Housing Leasing Initiative for Housing Authorities and Approved Housing Bodies (AHB), in order to provide accommodation to persons currently unable to source suitable properties from their own resources. The Council currently has 11 no. individual leases with property owners under availability agreements and this initiative will be progressed further in In 2013 there was a national roll out of the Mortgage to Rent Scheme, which is for households who have had their mortgage position deemed unsustainable under a Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process and agree to the voluntary repossession of their home to their lender. An AHB then acquires the property and the household remains in the property as a social tenant of the AHB. The property is leased to the Council by the AHB to fund the acquisition. To date there have been 4 properties leased to the City Council by AHB s. In 2014 the Council completed its first voluntary scheme under the Capital Advance Leasing Facility (CALF) with Galtan Housing Association (8 no. units at Boreenmanna Rd). The Council will intensify its engagement with Property Developers, Property Owners and Approved Housing Bodies, in order to advance suitable proposals under the various leasing initiatives. Voluntary & Co-Operative Housing In 2014, Cork City Council in conjunction with Respond! are progressing the provision of 10 no. units at Dublin Street. Construction of these units should commence in early In May 2014, the DECLG requested proposals for CAS funded construction projects to be progressed The Council received 3.31m for the provision of 15 no. units of accommodation at Grattan Street by Good Shepherd Services and 12 units at St. Joachim and Anne s by Cork Simon Community. The delivery of further units by voluntary bodies is being advanced by way of borrowings from the HFA/private sector with state support via the CALF scheme and support payments. Rental Accommodation Scheme The RAS section will continue to manage the DECLG funded scheme to preserve established tenancies already part of the scheme and navigate a competitive and challenging private rented market to secure homes for qualifying social housing applicants. The Council will also work with landlords, tenants and other stakeholders to confront the challenges being faced by all in the private rented sector with the primary objective of securing and sustaining tenancies on a long-term basis. There are currently 942 tenancies in place. Homeless Section and Cork Foyer In 2014, eight new units of permanent independent accommodation, funded under CAS were completed. These units create vacancies for others to move from emergency into transitional accommodation where they can be given the skills to enable them to move on to long term independent living - 6 units are near completion. Under the call for proposals in 2014, approval have been given to Good Shepherd Services and Cork Simon Community for the upgrade of Edel House and the provision of a further 12 units. Under the devolved funding protocol for the allocation of Section 10 funding for homelessness, a budget of 4.3m was allocated for the South West Region with 3.5m for Cork City Council. Each Local Authority in the Region provided from their own resources a minimum of 10% of the overall allocation towards homeless services. Service Level Agreements are now being rolled out to all service providers in the SW Region. Cork City Council manages the homeless IT system in the South West Region, PASS (Pathways to Accommodation and Support Systems) and works closely with all homeless service providers to ensure the integrity of the information gathered on homelessness in order to improve the management of the service and provide information to the DECLG. Housing Allocations Section Cork City Council as a Housing Authority has a statutory obligation to carry out social housing assessments under Section 20 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 and under the Social Housing Assessment Regulations 2011 (S.I. 84/2011) and the Social Housing Assessment (Amendment) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 136/2011), Social Housing Assessment (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 321/2011) and the Social Housing Assessment (Summary) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 26 of 2013).

41 SERVICE DIVISION B ROADS TRANSPORT & SAFETY Total Expenditure of 24.9m ( 25.3m in 2014) is provided for This Service Division represents 15% of Total Expenditure. Roads Infrastructure Having commenced in July 2011, the N40 Bandon Sarsfield Interchanges Contract continued to end of 2014, the mainline/flyovers having already been opened to traffic in July A number of other projects were started or completed in 2014 including Parnell Place Renewal, Cork Cycle Network linking UCC to City Centre, Barrack Street Renewal Phase 2, Public Bikes Enabling Works and Kent Station to City Centre Linkage. Projects addressing infrastructure deficits were also the subject of ongoing design work in 2014 including -Blackrock Harbour & Village Scheme and the Strategic Network - Consultancy Work for the South East and South West sectors. A road resurfacing programme was carried out on traffic routes and housing estates early in Transport System The transport system planned for Metropolitan Cork comprises of an improved rail service, priority bus services, walking routes, cycle routes, traffic routes, facilities and technologies to manage all transport modes and various parking facilities. Sustainable Transport Measures Progress has been made in facilitating and implementing sustainable transport measures by reducing the speed limit in the city centre and adjacent to some schools, providing additional cycle lanes and bicycle parking facilities (in city & suburban locations as well as schools), the provision of VMS on important routes, installation of Real Time Passenger Information signage and replacement of bus shelters. The implementation of the City Centre Movement Strategy has commenced with detailed design underway in areas around St. Patrick s Street and Grenville Place. The walking strategy continues to be a focus for all areas outside the city centre. Cork City Council and Cork County Council are working on Cycling Network Planning for the wider metropolitan area. The highly successful Green Route bus network will continue to provide improved speeds and journey quality for public transport users on the existing metropolitan Cork services. The Black Ash Park & Ride service still provides a hassle free and efficient alternative to commuters and shoppers alike. Cork City Council continues to work with schools and employers on behavioural change programmes. UTC & Traffic Signals The City Council has spent considerable monies to date in maintaining and upgrading the operation, maintenance and improvement of its traffic signal and control systems. Keeping this system up to date is critical if the city is to derive maximum benefit from the system. It is anticipated that there will be significant investment in traffic signals, controls systems & ITS in the coming years. Public Lighting The maintenance of public lighting infrastructure for the City Council is currently undertaken by Airtricity Utility Solutions. Replacement of obsolete columns in the city centre and brackets on ESB Networks throughout Cork City is a priority. Road Asset Management & Maintenance The BSU carry out regular inspections and certification of the electrical installations as required by Health & Safety. Due to the reduced budgets and staff levels, routine road maintenance works have to be prioritised. Priority is given to the maintenance of the main traffic routes and to footpaths with the greatest footfall especially in the commercial areas of the city. However, every effort is made to address other areas reported through the customer relations management system. The roads maintenance division also operates an emergency callout system to address hazards such as oil spills and obstructions on the public roads. Other services provided by the section include gully cleaning and weed control. Winter Maintenance Cork City Council has defined salting routes which prioritise main traffic routes, bus routes and other areas such as those adjacent to hospitals and schools. Some footpaths and bridges are also salted especially in the city centre in areas of greatest pedestrian movement. The decision on whether or 37

42 SERVICE DIVISION B ROADS TRANSPORT & SAFETY not to salt roads is taken based on information received from Met Éireann and the NRA Road Weather Information System. Cork City Council also provides salt for local communities on request. Jack Lynch Tunnel The planned upgrade works at the Jack Lynch Tunnel continued during 2014 and the following contracts were completed - Plant Monitoring and Control SCADA system and the Installation of barriers at Tunnel entrance. The cost of these contracts was 700,000. The quarterly planned maintenance works were carried out as per schedule. Arrangements for the transfer of maintenance responsibility to a private contractor appointed by the NRA was advanced in

49 SERVICE DIVISION C WATER SERVICES This Service Division represents 8% of Total Expenditure. With effect from 1 st January 2014 the treatment, supply and collection of drinking water and wastewater is the responsibility of Irish Water (Uisce Éireann). All assets associated with the provision of these services are in the process of transferring from the City Council. Cork City Council continues to provide day to day delivery of service and management of the Capital Programme in partnership with Irish Water under a Service Level Agreement. Direct interaction with customers transferred to Irish Water in April 2014 and billing of non-domestic consumers will progressively transfer to Irish Water over the year, likely to be late It is Cork City Council s focus to ensure that current levels of service will be maintained and be improved within the Irish Water framework. Expenditure for 2015 is limited to Payroll and Central Management Costs. Non-Pay Costs are processed through Irish Water systems therefore do not appear as Cork City Council expenditure. Total Expenditure of 11.4m ( 22.7m in 2014) is provided for The primary aims of this programme are: - to provide an adequate supply of wholesome and clean piped water for domestic, industrial and other uses and - to ensure the safe collection, treatment and disposal of sewerage and other waterborne waste and - to facilitate collection and management of storm water. The Environment & Recreation Directorate achieves these aims through the operations of the Water and Drainage Divisions. Drainage The Drainage Section has responsibility for the operation and maintenance of over 550km of main sewers and culverts. This is made up of approximately 40% combined sewers, 30% foul and 30% storm sewers. Stormwater impact on the foul network is controlled by means of 60 storm overflow chambers. The main spine interceptor sewers convey sewage to the Atlantic Pond pumping station from where it is pumped to the Ballinure Header Chamber. Here it is joined by sewage from the Tramore Valley which serves part of the south side of the City and the developed County areas to the south. Sewage flows by gravity across the estuary to the Carrigrennan treatment plant located at Little Island. Carrigrennan Waste Water Treatment Plant treats in the order of 100,000 cubic metres of effluent per day, including effluent from Little Island and Glanmire. It is treated in accordance with the requirements of the Urban Waste Water Directive and is licensed with the EPA. It produces almost 3,000 tonnes of sterilised, dried by-product which is used in pellet form as a fertiliser on agricultural land. The plant is currently removing approximately 92% of the pollution load delivered. The Drainage Section also deals with public conveniences i.e., Grand Parade APC units. Flood management support is another role fulfilled by the Section. This involves monitoring waterways in the city for potential of flooding and includes maintenance of culverts. In relation to tidal and fluvial flooding risks from the River Lee, weather and gauge levels are monitored and when appropriate alerts are issued through the media. In 2013 the OPW commenced formulation of the Lower Lee Flood Defence Project to address flooding issues highlighted in the draft Lee CFRAMS Report of In 2014 the OPW published the emerging preferred options for the Lower Lee (Cork City) Flood Relief Scheme (including Blackpool). The Drainage Section continues to co-operate and assist with this work. Short-term flood relief works were carried out in Blackpool during Water Production The Council operates a major water treatment plant located on the Lee Road. Approximately 45 million litres (10 million gallons) of raw water are extracted daily from the River Lee to supply the plant. Treated water is pumped to strategically located reservoirs at Churchfield, Hollyhill and Shanakiel from where it gravitates through the distribution network to various users across the city and also county areas contiguous to the northern city boundary. The council operates its plant and equipment to a very high standard and an ongoing monitoring programme is in place in order to ensure that water supplied is compliant with the requirements of the 45

50 SERVICE DIVISION C WATER SERVICES European Communities Drinking Water Regulations. The water quality reports for recent years indicate that, despite an ageing infrastructure, the quality of water produced is generally of a very high quality. The Lee Road supply is augmented by 23 million litres (5 million gallons) daily supply from the Inniscarra Water Treatment Plant which is operated and managed by Cork County Council on behalf of Irish Water. preliminary report has been prepared and submitted to Irish Water for their review. Water Distribution The Water Division has responsibility for the maintenance of over 747km of water mains across the city. It operates a water metering programme for non-domestic users and in accordance with the requirements of the Government s Water Pricing Policy, non-domestic charges are billed on the basis of actual use. The Council continues to effect improvements in its customer service and meter reading systems, including increased use of automated meter reading systems and frequent billing for major consumers. The council also continues to seek maximum efficiencies and value for money in the operation of the water services programme. Annual leak detection programmes have resulted in daily savings of almost 2 million litres and further cost savings continue to be secured from energy services tenders. Capital Projects Work has continued on the implementation of the Government s Water Service Investment Programme, originally published in 2010 with Irish Water taking over responsibility for the Capital Programme. In flight projects have transferred across. In 2014 construction work started on the Water Main Rehabilitation Programme with the Advance Works Contract adjacent to Kent Station replacing existing water mains with 2 other construction contracts to follow. Ongoing progress is being made on a range of projects included Shankiel Rising Main, Chetwynd Reservoir to Lee Road Water Treatment Plant inter-connector, Lee Road Treatment Plant, Find & Fix Leak Detection plus DMA Improvement Contracts. Minor Capital water main replacement works have been carried out in Gardiners Hill, Parnell Place & Barrack Street in 2014 with further replacement works planned for 2015 in Blackrock in conjunction with the Roads Department. Upgrading of the Carrigrennan Wastewater Treatment Plant is required to address nutrient removal and impact on shellfish. A draft 46

57 SERVICE DIVISION D DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT Total Expenditure of 9.4m ( 9.4m in 2014) is provided in this Division for 2015, which represents 6% of Total Expenditure. Strategic Planning & Economic Development The Strategic Planning and Economic Development Directorate is principally involved in the delivery of the following elements of the Cork City Corporate Plan : High Level Goal 2: City Economy: Increase employment and population in the City by optimising the capacity and attractiveness of the City to support economic growth High Level Goal 3: City Identity: Enhance and celebrate the unique identity of Cork High Level Goal 4: Quality Urban Environment: Deliver a high quality environment and cityscape giving a choice of locations for socio-economic activities and residents The Directorate is dependent on the co-operation of other directorates/departments within the City Council and on organisations outside of the City Council in order to achieve its objectives. A brief description of the activities of each section in 2014 is provided below. Development Management The Development Management section was enlarged during 2014 to absorb the remainder of Planning Enforcement and General Administration (Development Contributions, Licences and Takingin-Charge of Housing Estates). Approximately 400 planning applications were processed in Of note is One Albert Quay, a significant office development in the City Centre currently under construction, which was granted planning permission in 2014 and the redevelopment of Páirc Uí Chaoimh and the Centre of Excellence which is currently under appeal with An Bord Pleanála. The Board held an oral hearing on this application in September 2014 and the City Council s team at the hearing was led by the Development Management Section. For 2015, an increase in development activity is anticipated. Economic Development The Economic Development section was enlarged to accommodate the Cork City Local Enterprise Office which succeeded the Cork City Enterprise Board. The CASP Office is also serviced by the Directorate. The Economic Development Fund supported projects in 2014, which delivered benefits to Cork, including: - Cork Innovates - Energy Cork - Northside for Business - IGNITE Programme - Promoting Cork in Asia - Food Innovation Hub - Strategic Marketing and Branding of Cork - Cork Kerry Food Forum - Cork Better Building Awards - Unitarian Church In 2015, the Economic Development section will lead the preparation of the Economic Development Plan under the guidance of the Local Community Development Committee and, along with local stakeholders, continue to encourage economic activity and employment growth.

Measures to address dereliction and vacancy will continue, utilising incentives such as grants to repair/paint run-down building facades and temporary uses for vacant buildings as well as legal action under the Derelict Sites Act. Commitment to Cork s Heritage continued in 2014 and included a very successful Heritage Open Day and other activities during Heritage Week. A draft new City Heritage Plan was also issued for consultation in Archaeological Excavations in 53

58 SERVICE DIVISION D DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT South Main Street was published in 2014, further demonstrating Cork City Council s strong commitment to archaeological publications. Community and Enterprise Under the Local Government Reform Act 2014 the City Development Board has been abolished. A new independent committee of council has been established, the Local Community Development Committee that is significantly different in nature to the City Development Board. The committee has 17 members from the public sector, community & voluntary and social inclusion as well as trade union, employers and business representatives. The initial role of the LCDC is to oversee the delivery of the SICAP (successor to the Local Community Development Programme) tender process and the ongoing oversight of the programme. The LCDC will also develop the community elements of the Local Economic & Community Plan in The section will deliver the Public Participation Network to provide a forum for consultation between the city council and the public in regard to policy matters. Also, it will select community & voluntary, social inclusion and environment representatives to sit on the LCDC, JPC, SPCs and other council committees as well as other city wide structures. As a partner in the Healthy City Steering group, Community & Enterprise is lead partner in developing the Cork Age Friendly City initiative. Following consultations that took place throughout the city a strategy will be developed to address issues arising. Also, a high level steering group will be formed as will an older people s forum and an older people s business forum. Links have been developed with the County Council regarding its strategy and Age Friendly activities. The Social Inclusion unit recently published a comprehensive City profile in conjunction with Healthy City and key stakeholders. The profile is a resource for groups wishing to develop services in the city. The social inclusion unit leads in different agendas including LGBT Interagency steering group as well as the Traveller Interagency Process. It is a steering group member in the development of the Cork City Integration Strategy & the Music Education Partnership. This profile will be used to inform policy in the different agencies. Community Safety is promoted through the Joint Policing Committee which considers issues from the local Safety Fora and the Safety units which tackle the practical issues on the ground. Comhairle na nóg is the City s Youth Council which considers issues affecting young people in an age appropriate fashion and working to feed ideas to policy makers at both a local & national level. Comhairle is currently involved in the development of a website which will be a resource for young people looking for work and it is hoped to be a tool useful to school guidance counsellors. The Local Government Reform Act 2014 impacts on the City Learning Forum as the City Development Board has been abolished. The Lifelong Learning Festival delivered by the ETB and the Discovery Science Festival, delivered by City Council are key festivals in the life of the city. RAPID The RAPID Programme continued to be implemented in 2014 across the four RAPID areas: - Knocknaheeny/Hollyhill/Churchfield - Farranree/Fairhill/Gurranabraher - Mayfield/the Glen/Blackpool - Togher/Mahon It operates across seven strategic themes of community safety, employment and training, health, family support, physical environment, youth supports and education. Some of the highlights of the year included the implementation of practical actions under the Northside Economic Plan, close collaboration with the Cork City Northwest Regeneration, continued development of the community safety fora and support of early learning initiatives such as Happy Talk in Mayfield and the Glen and Young Knocknaheeny. Community Development Grants Cork City Council approved grant aid of 220,000 to a wide variety of community groups. This included: Capital grant aid to 17 community associations. Small project grant aid to over 60 community groups. Programme grant aid to ten summer schemes. 54

63 SERVICE DIVISION E ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES Total expenditure of 30.4m ( 30.5m in 2014) is provided in this Division for 2015, which represents 20% of Total Expenditure. Waste generated by Cork City Council Cork City Council will generate approx 5,500 tonnes of waste from its own activities in The key budgetary challenges arising for the Council include the cost increases due to additional requirements for waste treatment, transport and disposal, as well as the landfill levy charge of 75 per tonne since July Cork City Council is in the process of procuring two licensed contractors to accept, treat, transfer and dispose of waste materials such as litter waste, housing waste etc. Former Kinsale Road Landfill Site Land filling of waste ceased at the Kinsale Road facility in mid In accordance with the EPA licence, a decommissioning programme has resulted in the provision of an engineered cap to 28 hectares of the site, with 7.5 hectares remaining to be capped. The Capping of this area and other works commenced in December 2013 with completion anticipated in Q The closed landfill is subject to a very strict EPA licence which requires the Council to deal with the various emissions arising from the 3 million tonnes land filled over the past 50 years. This includes the ongoing management, environmental monitoring and maintenance of the facility (leachate treatment, gas collection, landfill monitoring, etc.) in accordance with additional conditions of the recently granted EPA licence. A consultancy team have carried out detailed design for the elements contained in the Tramore Valley Masterplan. A sum of 1.6m has been allocated for maintaining the former Landfill and compliance with the E.P.A. Licence requirements. The Central Laboratory located at Kinsale Road is charged with statutory monitoring of drinking water, surface water, air quality, noise, etc. throughout the city, as well as providing expertise for ensuring Kinsale Road Landfill Site s EPA licence conditions are generally complied with. Bring Banks & Kinsale Rd Civic Amenity Site The Council continues to provide a range of recycling services including bottle banks, paper, plastic, cardboard, timber, composting etc. at the Kinsale Road Civic Amenity Site. In addition the council operates a WEEE facility for the return of electrical goods from domestic customers. Domestic waste is also accepted at this facility. The Council operates approximately 40 bottle banks at various locations throughout the City. Waste Planning Limerick City & County Council and Tipperary County Council have been appointed as joint lead authorities for the Southern Waste Region (all of Munster in addition to Carlow, Wexford and Kilkenny). A new regional waste management plan is being drafted by the regional office (based in Limerick) and is expected to be launched in November 2014 for public consultation. Waste and Environmental Enforcement Cork City Council receives financial assistance from the DECLG for the provision of a multi disciplinary Enforcement team based in City Hall. The aim of this Team is to ensure that Waste Operators comply with national and international legislation. The Team also ensures compliance with various Environmental Regulations and legislation as well as investigating complaints and incidents. Lifetime Lab Lifetime Lab is located at the old Lee Road Waterworks. Its overall mission is to promote a sustainable approach to living and environmental responsibility. It is funded by Cork City Council, private sector sponsors and revenue generated from on site activities. A budget of 305,000 is provided for operational and promotional costs. The Lifetime Lab Bus is sponsored by Bord Gais. Cork City Energy Agency The Council spends approximately 5m per annum on energy and it is imperative that this level of expenditure is adequately administered and appropriate energy reduction measures are put in place. Cork City Energy Agency is charged with this responsibility, as well as reducing Cork City Council s carbon footprint by 3% per annum until Street Cleaning and Litter Management A total of 7.1m has been provided for daily and weekend street cleaning.

64 SERVICE DIVISION E ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES Bulky Goods Collections This service was introduced in 2006 and to date collections have been offered to circa 34,000 households in areas in each of the six electoral wards. Provision has been made for a limited service in Fire Department Total expenditure of 16.5m is provided. Cork City Fire Department comprises a professional team of people who provide a variety of services for the local community. Its functions include: - Operational Fire Service - Fire Prevention - Major Emergency Management - Civil Defence The Fire Department continues to focus on the challenges of being an efficient and effective operational Fire Service and ensuring a sufficient level of preparedness in the event of a Major Emergency while also working to reduce the number of fires, minimise life loss and injury resulting from fire and protect the infrastructure of Cork City. The operation of Cork City Fire Brigade is being reviewed under the Keeping Communities Safe Initiative issued by the National Directorate for Fire and Emergency Management. As the role of the Fire Department evolves, the importance of having fully up to date trained Fire Personnel and a well-equipped fleet maintained in a continuous state of readiness is further highlighted. Cork City Fire Brigade continues to pursue an extensive training programme saw 18 recruits complete their training and are now fully integrated into the Brigade. They will continue their professional development within their watches. The Major Emergency Plan was updated in accordance with the National Framework for Emergency Management in conjunction with other Principal Response Agencies. In the area of Fire Prevention, the examination of Fire Safety Certificate Applications and Planning Applications is ongoing. Cork City Civil Defence continues to support Community activities and provides assistance to the community and principal response agencies in emergency situations. Building Control The Building Control Section s major efforts continue to focus on Dangerous Structures and Building Regulations enforcement. Familiarity with Disability Access Certificates is now well established with building accessibility at the top of the agenda for designers and developers. Ensuring maximum compliance with the requirement to apply for a Disability Access Certificate where this is required has been the focus for Domestic house extensions continue to form a large proportion of construction work notified to Building Control. There was however an increase in the number of retail fit outs of office and other commercial projects. Approximately 34% of all new buildings notified to Building Control in 2013 were inspected. At least 2 inspections per building were carried out during the various stages of construction. The introduction of the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations in March 2014 brought new challenges and a significant change in the enforcement of building standards. Each Commencement Notice submitted is now accompanied by a set of drawings and technical information and is also certified by the building designer as being compliant with Building Regulations. Monitoring of this new certification regime has been a priority during 2014 and a large amount of time is taken up in adjusting our current systems and also communicating with the public and service users including professionals, builders and developers. Dangerous Structures are a critical part of the work of the Building Control Section. Reports of dangerous buildings received during office hours are inspected as a first priority by the building inspectors. Reports of dangerous buildings outside of office hours are received by the Fire Brigade and if assistance or expert advice is required a Building Surveyor from the Department will attend the scene. It is common for the Fire Brigade to request the advice of a Building Surveyor at the scene of a fire. The Building Control Section have effectively used the relevant provision of the Local Government (Sanitary Services) Act, 1964 to compel building owners to make safe their property and that emergency works are carried out to remove any danger where the owners are not willing or able to carry out the work. 60

93 SERVICE DIVISION J CENTRAL MANAGEMENT CHARGE Information, Community, Technology (ICT) and Business Services There are three interdependent teams within this Directorate: - Applications Team - The Infrastructure and Budgeting Team - The BPI Team. The following is a summary overview of their achievements in Applications Team 2014 was another busy year for the Applications Team and we were proud to receive The Public Sector Magazines Excellence in IT systems award for A focus on the replacement of legacy systems for Property Management and Planning Development were greatly advanced in 2014 and will see both the PIR and Odyssey systems go live in early The roll out of CSRM across the Council in conjunction with the BPI unit is progressing with solutions in place for Roads, Litter and Housing Grants. A public repersentatives application was developed and launched allowing councillors to lodge repersentations online. The ERP section has implemented the JD Edwards expenses module and are in the process of upgrading a new system tools release. Extensive work throughout the year in relation to the implementation of SEPA and data extracts for Irish Water and House Loan are completed. The GIS team are currently completing tenders to replace our GIS solutions and introduce a new mobile mapping solution. The transition to Irish Water has also used a lot of GIS resources in The Web Development team implemented a major upgrade to our SiteManager product and worked on upgrades to our Library and Foyer websites. Infrastructure Team A focus on enhancing the resilience of the network and systems was a key focus in 2014 with the procurement and implementation of an upgraded virtual server and storage infrastructure. The increasing trend towards enterprise mobility required a comprehensive review of the use of smart phones and tablets and led to the introduction of a Mobile Device Management solution. With an objective of maximising server performance while minimising energy usage the Communications room was configured in a Hot/Cold isle format leading to a reduced requirement for air conditioning. Development of an integrated Property Interest Register is almost complete with comprehensive user acceptance testing scheduled for early The objective of this project is to provide the City Council with a digital view of properties with a Council interest to minimise risks associated with the management of such properties. The Core team has begun the implementation of the Pension module of the HRM solution which will eventually replace a largely paper based system and make compliance with national requirements and initiatives easier. A major review of information security policies for users and operations led to the introduction of a charter and two comprehensive policy documents replacing existing policies and guidelines drawn up over a number of years. Along with the normal PC procurement and replacement scheme, influenced by Microsoft s discontinuation of extended support for the XP OS, 2014 saw support for the Local Elections and the subsequent procurement of devices and training for the new Council. The election itself was streamed live and IT support was provided to the Returning Officer. The team also undertook a number of initiatives aimed at promoting the city including the streaming of events such as the Saint Patrick s Day Parade and An Rás Mór. The introduction of a Smart Gateway initiative for the region has also opened up additional areas of operations for the team. BPI Team During 2014 there was a change in focus for the BPI Unit. While work continued on our twin goals of process improvement and cost saving, we were also given responsibility for the City Council s Shared Service initiative. With respect to process improvement projects the focus in 2014 was on: 1) Housing Plumbing Repairs & Maintenance 2) Customer Service Relationship. Management (CSRM) in the Litter and Environment Directorate. 3) Procuring a Mobile GIS Solution. 89

94 SERVICE DIVISION J CENTRAL MANAGEMENT CHARGE During 2014 the Mobile Phone Costs in Cork City Council cost saving report was approved. In conjunction with this report the Mobile Phone & Wireless Communication Device Policy Document was published and subsequently adopted by the City Council s Management Team. Two specific Shared Services projects were worked on in 2014: 1) Libraries Shared Service. 2) Laboratories Shared Service. Both of these projects are ongoing. Upon completion of the analysis phase of these projects a report containing recommendations will be produced. A project on Open Data was also initiated. This project aims to identify potential dynamic datasets that the City Council can publish for public consumption. Law Agent During 2014 the Law Agent s Office continued to fulfil its function of providing full legal services to the Chief Executive of Cork City Council and to its directorates. The Law Agent provided legal advices to the Chief Executive with respect to significant transactional matters and in relation to the proper fulfilment of the Council s statutory powers and duties, in particular arising out of the enactment of new Legislation. The Law Agent s Office, notwithstanding the depletion of its staff resources, continued to carry out the legal work relating to the Council s functions as a local authority, planning authority, road authority, housing authority, environment authority, fire authority, building control authority, sanitary authority and library authority. It is also providing legal services to Irish Water by way of support for the fulfilment of Cork City Council s obligations as set out in the Service Level Agreement entered into with Irish Water. The Law Agent s Office has continued in its endeavours to enhance the successful working relationships which have been built over the years with its client departments. In so doing, the aim has been and will continue to be the satisfaction of its clients need for legal advice and assistance in a manner which is prompt, clear and technically correct. 90
