Waterfront Enterprise Board: administrative costs – questions and answers (Tape No. 429)
Senator Jean Amy Le Maistre asked Senator Pierre François Horsfall, President of the Policy Resources Committee, the following questions –
"1 . W ould the President inform members of –
(a ) t h e total administrative costs of the Waterfront Enterprise Board (including salaries, rent,
consultancy fees, etc.) since the Board was established?
( b ) t h e b reakdown of these costs in respect of 1997?
2 . I n response to a question in the States on 20th January 1998, the President identified the likely cost of
La Frégate Café as £650,000. Would the President further inform members of the final cost of Les Jardins de la Mer, the steam clock and the surrounding area, together with the improvement work undertaken by WEB Limited around the Harbour area?
3 . ( a) Would the President inform members what sum of money, for capital projects, is available to the
Waterfront Enterprise Board without further reference to the States?
( b ) W i ll projects which are partly or wholly funded by private enterprise require States' approval
prior to any land being let or sold to such companies?
4 . ( a) A significant sum has been set aside by the Tourism Investment Fund for the leisure pool
project. As a considerable amount of public money will be required for a large project to be built on public land, will a cost benefit exercise be undertaken and the results made available to members?
( b ) W il l the States have the opportunity to consider the transactions negotiated on behalf of the
States, either by the Property Services Department or the Waterfront Enterprise Board?"
The President of the Policy and Resources Committee replied as follows –
" 1 . Before I answer this and the following questions I should like to inform the House that the whole issue of questions relating to the activities of incorporated companies of which the States is the only or major shareholder has been put to the House Committee for its consideration. This is of relevance not only for the position of Waterfront Enterprise Board Limited but also for the future incorporation of Jersey Telecoms and Jersey Postal.
T h e a n s w er to the Senator's first question is that the total administrative cost of WEB from 1993 to
1997 is £1,765,584 (inclusive of maintenance costs of completed projects). The total cost for 1997 within that total is £518,785 made up as follows –
Revenue expenditure 1997
Salaries and emoluments Premises – capital projects
– administration
Transport
Supplies and services Establishment expenses Miscellaneous expenses Consultancy expenses Depreciation
T o t a l e x p enditure
£
201,128 54,152 63,413 4,696 58,911 77,857 7,904 39,713
11,011 518,785
2 . T he final cost of Les Jardins de la Mer is £1,390,140. The final cost of the steam clock is £214,040.
The final cost of the gardens surrounding the Steam Clock is £656,000.
3 (a ). A sum of £20 million in share capital was approved by the States for the development of the
Waterfront. This sum is made available to WEB in such proportions as the Finance and Economics Committee may decide. To date, of this sum £2.8 million has been made available to WEB.
( b ) T h e answer to the second part of the question is, yes. Projects which are partly or wholly funded
by private enterprise will require States approval prior to any land being let or sold to such companies.
4 . ( a) The contribution to be paid by the States towards the cost of the leisure pool project will be capped at the sum already allocated by the Tourism Investment Fund Sub-Committee.
However, the eventual contribution that is required to be paid will be dependent upon the cross subsidy that is achieved from the other commercial developments attached to the complex. An open book' method of assessment of the developers costs will therefore ensure that the
minimum contribution is paid for the leisure pool element of this project thus ensuring value for money is
achieved.
W E B h a s r e s ponded to the request of the Tourism Committee and the Tourism Industry in
promoting this development as part of the States investment in its tourism infrastructure. It is for the President of the Tourism Committee to respond to the question of whether the Island needs a leisure complex and whether the benefits which flow from such a project are worth the investment that is proposed. The Tourism Investment Fund Sub-Committee has always regarded this project as its number one priority. The States also indicated their support for the project when they granted the developer an indemnity clause in respect of the claim by Les Pas Holdings Limited to ownership of the land on which the leisure pool complex is to be constructed.
( b ) T h e answer to the second part of the question is, yes. The States will have the opportunity to
consider the arrangements negotiated on behalf of the States, either by property services or by the Waterfront Enterprise Board."
La Frégate Café – questions and answers (Tape No. 429)
Senator Jean Amy Le Maistre asked Senator John Stephen Rothwell, President of the Tourism Committee, the following questions –
" 1 . Would the President inform members whether the lease of La Frégate Café was put out to tender or was it a negotiated lease?
2 . W hat are the terms of the lease and the annual rental?
3 . T his project was always intended to be a commercial proposition, is the President satisfied that the
rental represents a reasonable return on the capital employed?"
The President of the Tourism Committee replied as follows –
"1 . La Frégate Café was not put out to tender. There was a negotiated lease with the tenants of West Park
Café who, at the time were in the middle of a three year lease agreement on West Park Café, due to terminate on 24th December 1997.
T h e C o m mittee decided to offer the lease to the existing tenants of West Park Café as they were being
displaced through no fault of their own; had invested in West Park Café in the belief that they would have many years trading there; and are widely experienced in the operation of beach side cafes.
2 . T he terms of the lease will be generally similar to those for West Park Café but no formal lease is yet
in existence. The Department of Property Services are drawing up the documentation.
T h e r e n t al agreed for La Frégate Café is currently £16,000 a year. The existing West Park Café
commanded a rental of £12,900 in 1997. It has also been agreed that an independent assessment of trading will take place over the first year of operation and there will then be a rent review.
3 . R entals assessed for the operation of beach side cafés under the administration of Jersey Tourism take
into account the high degree of seasonality, weather conditions and trading potential, not the capital cost.
T h e fi n a l cost of development of La Frégate is likely to be between £600,000 and £650,000.
T h e c o n c essionaires operating La Frégate have provided all of the internal catering equipment plus the
internal and external seating and tables. The concessionaires are also already aware that other restaurants' will be created over the next few years on the Waterfront.
T h e T o u r ism Committee considered it reasonable, when forcibly removing the concessionaires from a
site and business which they had developed over previous years, and at significant cost in respect of purchasing equipment and refurbishing, to offer them the new replacement property. Equally it is reasonable to assess the trading ability of the new premises before setting the final base rent."
Cedar Lodge, St. John – questions and answers (Tape No. 429)
Deputy Philip John Rondel of St. John asked Senator Nigel Lewis Quérée, President of the Planning and Environment Committee, the following questions –
" E a rl y in 1997 the Harbours and Airport Committee entered into a lease with Mr. and Mrs. Killip for the occupation of Cedar Lodge, St. John, by an Airport Fire Officer. Unfortunately, due to our Housing Regulations the officer had to vacate the property because he did not possess the necessary residential qualifications. In November 1997 an officer of the Property Services Department wrote to me stating that it was hoped that an acceptable agreement would be reached to terminate the lease at minimal cost to the public.
W i l l the President advise the Assembly –
(a ) H as this been accomplished and at what cost to the Island?
(b ) I f the answer is no, what steps are now being taken to reimburse the owner of Cedar Lodge and when
will a satisfactory conclusion be reached?"
The President of the Planning and Environment Committee replied as follows –
" (a ) I am able to advise the members of this House that following a meeting on 18th December 1997 between representatives of the Planning and Environment Committee, Mr. and Mrs. Killip and their respective lawyers, a negotiated settlement of £6,000 was agreed and paid to Mr. and Mrs. Killip towards outstanding costs and legal expenses incurred as a result of the Harbours and Airport Committee's officer not being able to continue occupying Cedar Lodge, thus releasing the States from all obligation in respect of this property.
I c a n fu r t her advise that a claim has been registered with the States' insurers in anticipation that there
may be an opportunity of recovering a proportion of the settlement and reducing the cost to the public.
M r . a n d M rs. Killip were able to lease the property to another party. Whilst it might seem that legal
costs could have been avoided, the reference of the matter to the Attorney General made it necessary for both sides to be properly advised.
(b ) A s agreement has been reached, the Deputy 's second question needs no answer."
Noisy jet aircraft – statement
The Connétable of St. Peter made a statement in the following terms –
" A s C onnétable of St. Peter and as a proud member of the States of Jersey Assembly I feel bound to place on record the genuine concern and disappointment felt by many of my parishioners at a recent decision of the Harbours and Airport Committee.
T h e r e are times, I regret, when one can understand the exasperation and even disillusionment of the
electorate in the manner in which we conduct our affairs through our own States Committee system.
L a s t year this States Assembly voted overwhelmingly (2-1) to ban the use of the BAE 1-11 (the noisy jet) on the Jersey route. For many years this particular aircraft has been the cause of a level of noise pollution
for many Island residents which was generally considered to be quite unacceptable. The parishioners of
St. Peter, and many others, were delighted just a few months ago on 20th May 1997, when this House, supported
by the Harbours and Airport Committee, banned this particular aircraft from flying to our Island. This was a move in keeping with our increasing environmental awareness, and the Jersey image, particularly tourism and one which supports the growing number of quieter jets now in service. At the time we did accept that in exceptional circumstances a BAE 1-11 would be allowed in. Like many others I expected this to mean relief at the time of some emergency following a period of fog perhaps. Little was it supposed that it would be used to allow one airline out of 55 to use the BAE 1-11 regularly on 26 Saturday lunchtimes during this year, namely commencing 4th May to 24th October.
It s e e ms extraordinary that this U-turn has happened and many of us begin to wonder what confidence can
be placed in a decisive States' decision. Clearly the Jersey Transport Authority felt that it could issue a licence to one tour operator without appropriate consultation in spite of the States decision to ban the BAE 1-11. The Harbours and Airport Committee in response maintained that the ban remain unaltered. At this point pressure began to be placed on the Harbours and Airport Committee in the most questionable manner, talk of one Committee working against another thus suggesting that the Harbours and Airport Committee were out of order supporting a States decision, talk of hundreds of high spending tourists being denied holidays in Jersey, all emotive arguments to blur the fact that just one airline operator out of 55 had so far not found an alternative aircraft. I am bound to wonder how the 54 operators who presumably at greater expense have found aircraft to abide by the States decision are now feeling about the way we conduct our affairs.
I h a v e no doubt as to the feelings of many of my parishioners, they are disappointed naturally and feel
very let down by some of the people in this House. To please one airline who claims it was unable to do what 54 others have successfully done we have given the impression that States decisions are lightweight and changeable. To save the 1600 holidays this tour operator should have acquired a different aircraft. Frankly this U-turn demonstrates some weakness and sadly a lack of consideration for the local residents who for years suffered excessive noise and disruption from an unwelcomed aircraft. They have wrongly believed that the BAE 1-11 had gone for ever, these residents have been badly let down firstly by the Jersey Transport Authority and secondly by the Harbours and Airport Committee which failed to stand by a States decision."
