Local board feedback on the Local Boards Funding Policy Review |
|
Member Whyte spoke to this item.
|
|
Resolution number HB/2014/68 MOVED by Chairperson JG Parfitt, seconded by Member J Fitzgerald: That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board: a) do not support the use of local rates to fund core council services, e.g. local driven initiatives and asset based services noting that: i) local rates can lead to inequity and affordability issues and can lock in legacy council funding models. b) note that locally driven initiatives and local asset based services account for approximately one and ten percent, respectively, of council’s total operating costs, and recommend that further work is undertaken to determine whether 11 percent of Auckland Council’s budget is an appropriate share for local activities, as the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board believe that 11 percent is not enough. c) support the 20 February 2014 Finance and Performance Committee resolution directing staff to consider service level equity issues for local asset based services as part of the development of the Long-term Plan and asset management plans and engage with local boards on this and report back on a timetable. d) request that the engagement process and the work programme to address service level equity issues (including asset provision) is agreed with the local boards and includes a staging of the key deliverables, with prioritised asset classes and service levels for review, be presented to the Local Boards Funding Policy Political Working Party on 6 May 2014. e) endorse the process and timelines for the Local Boards Funding Policy, provided that the work on service level equity issues (including asset provision) is progressed in parallel to the local boards funding policy. f) recommend that the treatment of both the Waiheke and Great Barrier local boards gradually be transitioned into a self sustainable model, as opposed to one of subsidisation. g) request that work be undertaken to: i) determine the appropriate amount of budget for local boards to successfully deliver upon their role, noting the current allocation is based on legacy council budgets and are dominated by overhead costs with little funding for programmes; ii) determine whether more activities and the corresponding funding should sit in the locally driven initiatives category; iii) investigate and identify programme budgets held by departments and move these to local board budgets, given the key role for local boards in community development; iv) investigate and improve the methodology of allocating overheads across the local boards as currently different approaches are used across activities; v) determine whether Business Improvement District (BIDs) corporate overheads should be shifted to local asset based services, as the administrative components (i.e. staffing) are allocated based on the rate collected via the BID and agreed by the BID and the governing body, not the local boards. h) recommend that general rate allocation scenarios are developed, as current locally driven initiative allocations allow for minimal discretion for most local boards and any reduction will impact on existing service levels. i) recommend that: i) asset based service levels are funded by the general rate; ii) locally driven initiatives are funded via the general rate as local initiatives are core council activities, essential to cohesive communities and Auckland being the world’s most liveable city. j) recommend that with respect to the allocation methodology for locally driven initiatives under general rate funding, agree that population should be the main factor, as population tends to be a key driver of the demand for services: i) an adjustment for rates collected should be applied; ii) that the local board does not support any model utilising deprivation; iii) an adjustment for geographic isolation should be applied and be no greater than 10%; iv) an adjustment for growth should also be applied to ensure that local boards who are experiencing high growth have this factored into any locally driven initiatives allocation. k) forward these resolutions to the Local Boards Funding Policy Political Working Party and the Finance and Performance Committee for their consideration. l) delegate to the Finance Portfolio Holder, Lisa Whyte, to finalise the local board’s feedback to the Local Boards Funding Policy Political Working Party and Governing Body as required.
