Resolution number GBI/2014/86 MOVED by Chairperson IM Fordham, seconded by Deputy Chairperson SP Daly: That the Great Barrier Local Board: a) formally considers and notes the deferral of capex projects to 2015/2016 outlined in Attachment A of the Deferral of 2014/2015 capital projects report and in particular that funding for the potential purchase of Glenfern Sanctuary is retained pending the Governing Body’s decision. b) notes that any projects where timing has been deferred, but project planning is underway, should be given high priority in the 2015/2016 capital programme. c) expresses its concern that officers have made decisions to defer SLIPs budgets for which the board has full decision making authority, without any consultation with the board and the significant adverse impact this has had, or may have on its work programme. In particular, projects potentially affected include the Whangaparapara pontoon which the board has previously approved and was proceeding in conjunction with Auckland Transport and is still needed for SeaLink to operate its new passenger ferry service to Whangaparapara. d) asks that SLIPs and finance managers meet with the board urgently to explain this situation and also the potential impact on its work programme resulting from SLIPs staffing changes.
