Resolution number HB/2014/198 MOVED by Member DR Cooper, seconded by Deputy Chairperson AG Sayers: That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board: a) provides the following feedback on the proposed financial policies for the Long-term Plan 2015-2025:
Rating Policy
i) That the Uniform Annual General Charge (UAGC) should be set at the highest level permitted by the legislation (maximum of 30%) as the uniform contribution for core council services. This is the highest priority. ii) Requests that a longer transition be applied for the business differential over the period of the Long-term Plan as there is limited capacity to off-set against the residential rates over the next five years iii) The rural residential differential of 0.9 is noted and the separation from core council services is acknowledged iv) Considers that any approach to support low or fixed income residents (including super-annuitants) that will need to be off-set by other ratepayers is a blunt tool to create affordability v) Request that council seek government support for low and fixed income residents (including super-annuitants) in Auckland as an exceptional situation and look to provide others sources of revenue and investment to off-set any proposed rates reductions vi) Subject to the impact of the revaluation look to provide a continued period of transition with a 10% ceiling on individual rates increases for residential ratepayers vii) Extend rates remissions for community, sporting and heritage rates remission and postponement policies across Auckland viii) Retain the current policy of providing rates remissions for community halls that are providing a clear and evidence-based community service (privately or community- owned facilities) and does not support any transition to charge rates to these types of facilities ix) Targeted rates, with the exception of the BID targeted rate, are not supported by the local board
Fees and Charges Policy
x) Considers that cost recovery does not provide any incentive for council to be more effective and efficient and that any increases in fees and charges should be assessed against clear value for service criteria particularly in across those areas where there are no alternative service providers xi) Consider that social housing may be able to be provided in more cost effective and higher quality ways by looking at community housing providers xii) Any assessment of street trading fees needs to be based on value for money assessments and not a one size fits all cost for service xiii) Considers there are opportunities for improved and more lateral approaches to procurement which needs to be investigated and considered
Development Contributions Policy
xiv) Improve the way that community infrastructure is funded and address the funding shortfalls due to the inadequate level of contributions currently set for reserve purposes xv) Support a review of the policy in response to the legislative changes and would seek an opportunity for local boards to be directly engaged on the policy and its application xvi) Request that the finance department report back on development contributions revenue collected by local board area(s) on a six monthly basis in the quarterly report xvii) Seek clarification on the approach for defining the proposed catchment areas and the process for the inclusion of projects in the development contributions schedules for the Long-term Plan 2015-2025
Other Matters – General
xviii) Strongly challenge the growth statistics and modelling that are being applied to inform the setting of financial policy positions and the calculation of infrastructure projects, costs, contributions, fees, charges, rates and other revenue options xix) Request more accessible reporting on overall council spend by department, CCO, and local boards by area.

Resolution number HB/2014/200 MOVED by Deputy Chairperson AG Sayers, seconded by Member J Fitzgerald: That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board: a) Provide the following feedback on the Mayor’s Proposal for the Long-Term Plan 2015-2025 and Strategies: i) Acknowledges the Mayor’s Proposal and the key focus areas but expresses concern about the justification, implementation and timing of the City Rail Link and commencement should be dependent on timing of the government funding contributions. ii) Notes the spatial priorities and request that planning for the future addresses high growth areas across Auckland which have not been included in the spatial priorities. iv) Notes that when the detailed analysis from the revaluation data is available that the local board may propose and recommend the UAGC level. v) Requests that any decision to set an average rate increase not be limited to 2.5% if an increase up to 3.5% and a higher level UAGC reduces the rating burden on the residential ratepayer. vi) Agrees to the proposal to move to fully fund depreciation on capital assets and request the governing body consider a staged approach to reach the 100% over the later years of the Long-term Plan 2015/2025 rather than the proposed commencement in the 2015-2016 financial year. b) Provide the following feedback on the Parks, Community and Lifestyle departmental responses to the Mayor’s Proposal:
Parks, Sport and Recreation
i) Expresses concern that the Mayor’s Proposal and the departmental responses to achieve the proposal significantly impact on the Auckland Plan deliverables including becoming the world’s most liveable city by limiting Auckland-wide and local projects that make this vision possible and the Auckland Plan should be reviewed as a result. ii) Acknowledges that revenue is a key component of cost to service for council activities and requests that public good elements continue to be considered as a core part of Parks, Sport and Recreation service delivery. iv) Agrees that the renewal of existing assets are a top priority and requests that visitor numbers and non-resident users at key locations, including popular beach areas and reserves, be included in the consideration of future funding allocations. v) Notes some areas have high level of use therefore funding needs to reflect the impact of that demand and use on those key locations. vi) Requests that high-use demand of assets and asset areas are included in asset management considerations not just the life cycle of assets, as condition assessments should define the need for and timing of renewals. vii) That the renewals budgets reflect the actual cost of renewals including the funding of parks foundation infrastructure for approved specialist facilities e.g. hockey and other specialist turf areas. viii) Agrees that the priorities for non-renewal project categories includes; contractually committed, land acquisition (funded by development contributions), projects falling into geographic areas and/or special housing areas, other projects identified in network planning and includes the extent of community engagement, commitment and partnerships as a further method for a shared delivery model. ix) Expresses concerns that the proposal to cut key operational service delivery and proposing a one size fits all approach does not provide good outcomes or savings. a) chemical spraying in parks and reserve areas b) standard approaches which do not respond to local climatic conditions in local board areas e.g. coastal areas. xi) Supports Strategic Asset Management Plans (SAMP) if they: a) acknowledge each facility and park asset, including those in high growth areas where the demand for those parks and recreation areas are fully realised, and b) includes levels of service, which do not decrease aspects of community safety in those areas and facilities. xii) Seeks confirmation that local boards will be involved in the development of Community Facilities Strategic Asset Management Plans and acknowledge the importance of providing high quality multi-purpose assets across all of Auckland. xiii) Seeks confirmation that local boards will be involved in any Open Space Strategic Asset Management Plan as local boards are best placed to contribute to the information on asset and community performance. xv) Considers that the proposed reduction in Parks, Sports and Recreation capital project spending will limit the council’s ability to deliver on the Auckland Plan. xvi) Considers there has been a failure to allocate funding for non-built assets in the Parks, Sports and Recreation departmental response to the Mayor’s proposal and this needs to be addressed to include those local board areas with extensive coastlines to include an adequate response budget to address any urgent and emergency coastal protection works. xvii) Disagrees with harmonising or reducing levels of service for local and sports parks maintenance and management that: a) results in park mowing service levels being standardised and aligned across Auckland as our local board area is impacted by coastal and climatic conditions and therefore service levels need to be set at levels that address those coastal and climatic differences b) results in chemical spray control on local and sports parks and requests that a clear and detailed cost analysis be undertaken and reported back to the local board prior to any decisions being made that affect the local board area c) results in the removal of some street gardens in the local board area and would request that council alternatively reviews the traffic management processes, compliance costs and requirements and look at the opportunities for community partnerships. (Noting the concern that compliance costs appear to be coming an Auckland response as not an issue across other parts of New Zealand). xviii) Agrees in principle with the following reduction of service levels for local and sports parks maintenance and management including: a) reduced mowing service levels in lower use parks b) removing up to 20% of shrubberies in local parks with replacement by grass and mowing and reducing maintenance frequencies in other gardens/shrubberies c) the reduction in the number of litter bins in low use parks as long as any littering issues are quickly addressed d) to the non-renewal of some underperforming parks assets such as playgrounds, furniture and toilets but seek assurance that the local board will be consulted early prior to any decisions being made. xix) Agree to the ‘business of leisure’ efficiencies and revenue benefits from the pools and leisure networks that: a) focuses on membership retention and the leveraging of the advantage to a network of facilities to increase membership numbers b) more efficient purchases of goods and services such as cleaning services and pool chemicals (but consider that this should already be happening) c) growing the early childhood education opportunities but only if this is part of core business and associated with the activity within a network facility which doesn’t directly compete with commercial facilities d) extending opportunities such as corporate membership or commercial partnerships e) targeting strategic investment in facility renewals and pool and leisure plant and maintenance to support both growth and improved operational efficiency f) allowing renewal investment to be allocated regionally based on condition need and with a focus on systematic upgrades of facilities across all Auckland ensuring that there is no risk to facilities failing and that realistic thresholds are set xx) Agree to introducing user-charges for commercial activities on parks ensuring that sporting codes (particularly not for profit groups) are not charged for funding their own fund-raising activities and request further information about what constitutes a “commercial activity” within a park. xxii) Agrees that development contributions be used to fund the growth component of certain development works on parks including toilets, playgrounds, sports fields, and greenways and that local boards’ be consulted on the options and scenarios for the identification and funding of these types of development works. Community Development, Arts and Culture i) Agrees in principle that renewals for community facilities, arts facilities and social housing units that are close to the end of their life, in poor condition or badly in need of upgrading be assessed at to whether they are fit for purpose. ii) Agrees that low-utilisation areas or non-performing areas are reduced but would like to ensure that the local boards are consulted and informed on how this process will work prior to its implementation. iii) Urgently requests detailed information on community facility hireage and usage necessary to enable the local board to assess the levels of fees for community facilities and notes that until that information is made available is not supportive of any increase in hireage fees across local community facilities. iv) Requests that any process to harmonise event permitting fees is simple and that there is no charge for community events as they provide wide community benefits and support place-shaping.
Libraries
i) Supports having seven (7) days a week service in libraries and request that regular and updated information is provided to the local board on usage and numbers to ensure that the local board can make an informed decision and validate any approved expenditure. ii) Agrees that any decision by the local board to extend hours of operation for seven (7) days a week library opening needs to be carefully looked at in terms of the cost to deliver this service.
iii) Supports the library facility network review to increase library space at Browns Bay including the potential for a new facility within the Upper Harbour Local Board area and in the future at Silverdale. iv) Supports that the library model is changing and that it is important for libraries to be fit for purpose and be able to provide a range of different functions including community hubs and in some areas social service provision without blurring the core business lines and functions. v) Supports the assessment and investigation of different partnership models with other providers for library services to be delivered across Auckland. vi) Requests further information on the costs to maintain library hours at the levels proposed in the local board plan (seven (7) days a week). vii) Supports the planned investment in library technology in accordance with the department’s response to the Mayor’s Proposal. viii) Supports the 10 year plan for regional collections in accordance with the department’s response to the Mayor’s Proposal. ix) Agrees that targeted quality events that connect diverse communities can bring value but would seek to ensure that libraries do not move away from the core business and needs of library services. x) Agrees with the department’s proposal to reduce the opening hours of 4 local history research centres. xi) Supports the integration of the corporate library service subject to no loss in the flexibility, value and delivery of the service. xii) Supports the charge for the request for items which are not picked up from libraries. xiii) Supports the option to reduce the delivery time of collection items to libraries.
Environmental Management and Regulation
i) Does not support the sale of Te Waka Korero (the big rig) as it provides a key focus and location for community engagement. ii) Agrees to introducing a user charge for inorganic collections based on $25, and 10% participation and requests further information on how cost effective this model will be. iii) Agrees to the proposed increases in regulatory fees and charges subject to a value for money exercise and confirmation that any increases will not result in increased costs of compliance.
Auckland Development - CPO Division
c. Provides the following feedback on the Auckland Development – Chief Planning Office (CPO) departmental responses to the Mayor’s Proposal:
i) Considers that any reductions in the CPO division will be locally irrelevant as the local board will receive limited benefit from the CPO division as a result. ii) Acknowledges that the bylaw programme is a priority but the potential for further delegations to local boards without the adequate funding and dedicated support for any delegations is of concern. iii) Considers that the spatial priorities do not reflect where growth is occurring and the impacts of high growth in the local board area. iv) Is opposed to the absence of spatial planning or urban design work being undertaken outside of the spatial priority areas as this fails to acknowledge and respond to where growth is currently occurring. v) Does not support any reduction in marine spatial plans especially within the Hauraki Gulf as this impacts on liveability and could result in potential impacts for the adjoining coastal environment. vi) Seeks confirmation as to how the impact of Special Housing Areas on the local board and neighbouring areas will be monitored and assessed particularly as the Special Housing Areas impact on existing and the future need for local and community facilities. vii) Does not support charging council administration costs to Business Improvement Districts, or to businesses within a local board BID area without the approval of the businesses, as this will impact on funding capabilities, effectiveness and deliverables and would result in the detriment of BID’s. viii) Supports the reduction in funding to COMET.
