I am having some trouble interpreting 495(4)(b) & (c) Intergovernmental projects:
(b) the intergovernmental project does not need to be works, services, facilities or activities within the functions of the council and the rate levied may exceed the value of the part of the project with the council’s functions,
Q – does this mean the total cost to council can be covered particularly if there are activities council is required to facilitate outside of its normal functions? Would this include engaging contractors to complete works allocated to councils?
(c) if the cost of the intergovernmental project is partly funded by another person or under another arrangement, charge or contribution—the rate levied may be limited to what is needed to fund the proportion of the cost for which the council is responsible,
I’m not sure how this differs from (b)
Keen to hear others interpretations of these sub-sections.
Thanks
Mel
