Resolution number MT/2014/53
MOVED
by Chairperson SD Randall, seconded by Member OO Unasa:
That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:
a)
agrees to the following amendments to its draft Local Board
Agreement 2014/2015 arising from the special consultative procedure for the
draft Annual Plan 2014/2015:
i)
Amalgamate the
Christmas and discretionary events budgets into one budget line of $80,000
named local events discretionary in line with the agreed board approach to
deliver local board events in a more co-ordinated way.
ii)
Amalgamate the
Anzac Budget of $2,000 into the Civic events budget, allowing the more
efficient delivery of this support to local Anzac commemorative events.
iii)
Reallocate the
energy efficient housing budget of $52,412 into SLIPS opex as previous
officer advice cited constrained resources would not allow this funding to be
delivered at this time.
iv)
Reduce the capacity
building project to $40,000 and reallocate $40,000 to SLIPS opex as per
officers advice that the project can be fully delivered on the reduced
budget.
v)
Reallocate the
street maintenance service improvement budget to SLIPS opex as this funding
is currently not being used to deliver any initiatives, and its relocation
will allow the board to use it to deliver local improvement projects.
vi)
Allocate $45,000 of SLIPS opex to Youth
Connections as a majority of submitters who commented on this project were
supportive, noting that this will be matched by $30,000 of external funding
for this project.
vii)
Allocate $3,000 of SLIPS opex to the
Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Board Youth Panel for administrative support.
b) That the
Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Board:
i) agrees a balanced budget,
except for Jubilee Bridge which requires additional funding that
reflects updated estimates for the renewal of the bridge, for
2014/2015 and outer years for the Annual Plan 2014/2015 that reflect the
allocation of decision-making.
ii) confirms an updated list
of advocacy areas for the Governing Body and council-controlled
organisations, for inclusion in the Annual Plan 2014/2015 as per attachment C
with the addition of:
·
support Auckland Regional Migrant Services

communities in Auckland.

charges schedule for 2014/2015 for sports parks pages 30, 31, 32 and 33.
iv) resolves on any feedback
on regional proposals being considered as part of the Annual Plan process for
Governing Body consideration that being:
·
a high number of submitters in the Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local
Board area do not support the Stadium Strategy and, in particular, the
relocation of the speedway to Mt Smart Stadium. We also note a high number
of submitters wish to retain Mt Smart Stadium as the home of the New Zealand
Warriors.
c) That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board notes:
i) local board budgets
for 2014/2015 and outer years are required to balance in every year
ii) if budgets do not
balance in every year, the Budget Committee will
respond to any advice provided by the local board about how to balance its
budget if required. If this has not occurred, budgets will be balanced by
proportionately reducing the budgets for the local boards discretionary
projects to address the overspend
iii) local board budgets will be updated in
May to reflect local board prioritisation decisions, any final decisions made
by the Budget Committee on 8 May, and updated central cost allocations.
Updated financial statements for 2014/2015 will be provided to local boards
in time for local board agreement adoption meetings in June.
