Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Board Discretionary Community Funding - Round Three 2014/2015
File No.: CP2015/04050
Purpose
1. The purpose of the report is to present applications received for round three of the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Community Funding Programme 2014-2015. The local board is required to fund, part-fund or decline these applications.
Executive Summary
2. For the 2014-2015 financial year, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board set a total community funding budget of $80,000. $27,617 was allocated in round one and $23,111 was allocated in round two, leaving $29,272 for round three.
3. Twenty-five applications were received in this round, with a total request of $87,305.50.
Comments
4. Three community funding rounds are scheduled for this financial year. The first round closed on 31 July 2014 and the second on 7 November 2014. The third round closed on 6 March 2015.
5. Through community grants, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board aims to build social capital within the local community by supporting projects that provide a community benefit, are equitable and inclusive and result in an ongoing gain to the local area. When reviewing applications, the local board should be guided by the following criteria (these are not eligibility criteria, rather they are guidelines to help the local board when considering the merits of each proposal):
a) the proposal’s benefit to the local area
b) the applicant group’s role in the local area
c) the proposal’s alignment with the board’s priorities, such as:
· young people
· Maori
· the environment
· culture and arts
· social cohesion
· recreation and sport
· heritage
d) whether the group applies to receive the proceeds of gaming machines.
6. This fund is allocated at the local board’s discretion. In accordance with its fiduciary duties, the local board is to act honestly, avoid conflicts of interest and act in what the local board believes to be the best interests of the community.
7. The fund was advertised through local papers, community networks and on the Auckland Council website.
8. For the 2014/2015 financial year, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board set a total community funding budget of $80,000. $27,617 was allocated in round one, $23,111 was allocated in round two, leaving $29,272 for round three.

13. Following the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board allocating funding for round three, Community Development, Arts and Culture will notify the applicants of the local board decision.

3. This report will inform decisions that the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board make on its locally driven initiatives (LDI) budgets.
Executive Summary

7. The feedback included in this report will enable the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board to finalise and agree on its advocacy to the Budget Committee at discussions on 24, 28 and 29 April. These discussions are timed to inform the Budget Committee prior to it making decisions on the LTP on 7 and 8 May.
8. The feedback included in this report will also inform the decisions the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki local board will make in finalising its LDI and advocacy content for its 2015/2016 Local Board Agreement.

Comments
9. The summary of the feedback received through the Long-term Plan 2015-2025 (LTP) consultation relevant to the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board is appended as Attachment A. The feedback recorded from local engagement and Have Your Say events is appended as Attachment B.
10. All written feedback from the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board has been collated into a single document (Attachment C – under separate cover) for distribution but, due to the size of this document only a limited number of copies will be printed. The full submissions will be available on Auckland Council’s website and a small number of printed copies will be available for use in the Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Board office.
11. This feedback builds on the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board’s understanding of its community’s priorities and preferences. It will inform the local board’s advocacy to the Budget Committee at discussions on 24, 28 and 29 April. At these discussions the local board will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the key consultation issues of investing in Auckland, fixing transport, sharing rates and housing and development. The local board may also provide feedback on regional proposals with particular impact locally and may advocate for specific local priorities where the Budget Committee is the decision maker, such as large capital projects.
12. During the LTP consultation process, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board consulted with its community on the following advocacy points, all of which had been previously identified as significant priorities for the community during the local board plan consultation process in 2014:
· More investment in the greenways network – a walking, cycling and ecological pathway connecting people to local destinations;
· Improvements to the cluster of community buildings in Glen Innes (Library, CAB, Plunket, Marae and community hall) to enable these buildings to serve the community better.
· Hydrodynamic modelling of the Manukau Harbour to enhance understanding of the harbour and recognise its importance.
13. Feedback on the two advocacy points which were included in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board’s formal LTP consultation materials is included in Attachment A.
Consideration
Local Board views and implications
14. The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board needs to consider any changes that it might make to its LDI budgets or advocacy in light of the feedback on the LTP proposals.
Māori impact statement
15. Many local board decisions are of importance to and impact on Maori. The local board agreements are important tools that enable and can demonstrate the council’s responsiveness to Maori. The local board agreement is based on the local board plan which are both been developed through engagement with the community, including Maori.
Implementation
16. Following the local board discussions with the Budget Committee on 24, 28 and 29 April the Budget Committee will make decisions on regional proposals on 7 and 8 May. Local boards will then hold workshops from 14 to 20 May to finalise their local board agreements prior to them being adopted at board meetings between 9 and 16 June.
