Resolution number OR/2015/38

MOVED by Member CH Cooke, seconded by Member TG Churton:  

That the Orākei Local Board:

a)         receives the report, noting that The Landing fees and charges have not been increased since 2007.

b)        notes that the board took office in late 2010 and did not review fees and charges immediately as The Landing concept plan needed to be completed first.

d)        agrees to phase in an increase in charges for dinghy locker storage at The Landing to reflect an inflation adjustment catch-up in phase one, a move towards regional alignment of dinghy locker charges in phase two and a standard consumer price index annual fee increase is applied thereafter (unless otherwise varied by decision of the Orākei Local Board):

 

Landing Charges

From 1 June  2015

h)         notes that the increase proposed for 2015 represents an effective annual increase of 2.4 per cent which is the inflation rate over the period.

i)          adopts the Landing Hardstand Events Policy outlined in Attachment C of this report with the word ‘continued’ added in the third paragraph before the words ‘public access’.

Developing the Empowered Communities Approach - Next Steps

 

Resolution number OR/2015/42

MOVED by Chairperson DEC Simpson, seconded by Member TG Churton:  

That the Orākei Local Board:

a)      expresses concern that the purpose of developing the empowered communities approach has been to save money, rather than to achieve the best outcomes for Aucklanders.

b)      expresses concern that the new concept has been developed without the input from external expertise and questions the ability of a council department to transform itself without credible external expertise.

c)      considers that significant reform is needed in the way the Community Development and Safety team operates.

d)      notes that community needs in the Orākei Local Board area are likely to differ substantially from those in other parts of the region.

e)      supports the concept of a community–led approach and reducing bureaucratic barriers, noting that community development is not a core council service.

f)       supports a model of community development where council’s main role is subsidising provision of facilities such as community centres and addressing market failures in the provision of community development services.

g)      recommends that the empowered communities approach should first be trialled in one or a few local board areas and that this should inform any changes to the model and how it is implemented across the region.

h)      recommends deferring implementation of the empowered communities approach across the region until the start of the next term of council so that trials can be completed.

i)       considers that each local board should have the flexibility to decide how they respond to their communities in this area.

j)       does not support the proposed community broker as it is likely to limit local boards’ flexibility and responsiveness to their communities.

k)      considers that if the proposed community broker position is implemented:

i.       local boards should be able to decide whether to have a broker or to use the funding to support the community in running programmes, as this will allow local boards greater flexibility.

ii.      local boards should have input into their appointment, as it is important for local community brokers to have standing and influence in their communities in order to perform the role as described and local boards are well placed to advise on this.

iii.     local boards should be able to share a broker and use the remaining funding to progress local programmes.

iv.     they should support community groups in the areas of accountability, monitoring and transparency of deliverables.

v.      they should be based in local areas and not in the central city.

vi.     they should have decision-making ability and a budget with which to deliver local initiatives.

l)       considers that local boards should have access to community development resources in council which can drive local place-making and community development outcomes where there are areas of need.

m)     notes that a further weakness of the empowering communities proposal is the absence of any budget implications for local boards.
