14.2 |
|
|
Resolution number PKTPP/2015/147 MOVED by Member MP Wood, seconded by Deputy Chairperson HAJ Doig: That the Puketāpapa Local Board receive the Member reports for July 2015. a) receive the Memo dated 16 June 2015 from Richard McWha providing information about the Pah Functions Centre Capital Expenditure Project. b) note the efforts that have been entered into by Council over the past five years to implement the Marquee proposal for functions, and the difficulties with this project including consenting, agreement with other parties on positioning of the structure and negative public feedback (notably during Long-term Plan [LTP] consultation). c) note that the original purpose of the Marquee proposal was to become a major funding source for the operation of the James Wallace Arts Trust at Pah Homestead. d) note that in this year’s LTP, Council has approved on-going operational funding of $350,000 per year, minimizing the need for major on-going funding through the Marquee proposal. e) note that in 2016, once Monte Cecilia School has vacated its current site, Council will become the owner of ‘The Whare’ close to the Pah Homestead. f) note that a number of parties, including James Wallace Arts Trust (JWAT) and the Mt. Roskill (Puketāpapa) Historical Society have expressed interest in making use of ‘The Whare’ for community purposes. g) note that the Board has commissioned a report from Jane Matthews into the condition of ‘The Whare’ on the understanding that this report is likely to confirm that the building will need a reasonable level of remediation before it is fit for purpose for community use. h) note that the Board currently has no existing dedicated funding to remediate the building, and that there are risks in leaving an empty and run-down building on-site without remediation. i) support retention of ’The Whare’ as an extant heritage building, in close proximity to the Pah Homestead to serve a range of community needs. j) support the direction of the Memo provided by Richard McWha, and specifically: i) endorse officers producing a report on future use of ‘The Whare’ which will consider options for providing functions and facility space for JWAT and possible other community uses. ii) support work to establish the suitability of utilising funding provided for a Functions Centre at Monte Cecilia Park, for making ‘The Whare’ fit for purpose for possible functions, educational, and community usage. iii) subject to the aforementioned report confirming that ‘The Whare’ is suitable for community usage, request that officers urgently progress with work to classify the building as a Local Board community facility. k) confirm the Board’s Joint Liaison Body (JLB) representative Michael Wood as the Board’s spokesperson on this project for the purpose of representing the Board in discussions with Council officers, stakeholders (including JWAT) and the public. |

Shirley Coutts, Senior Advisor, was in attendance to speak to this item. |

Resolution number PKTPP/2015/150 MOVED by Member DA Holm, seconded by Member E Kumar: That the Puketāpapa Local Board: a) support the use of an allocation formula based on a calculation of 90% population, 10% deprivation. b) is of the view that at least 90% of the Local Board Discretionary Capital Expenditure Fund of $10 million per annum should be allocated on population which strongly relates to the demand for services. c) does not accept that land area should be a factor in allocation of the fund due to its "high distortion effect" that "does not relate to the demand for services." d) favour the continuation of deprivation as a factor in allocating the fund, preferably at 10% and notes that the main beneficiaries of this would be Great Barrier and Waiheke. If 90% population, 10% deprivation is used, Great Barrier would get $82,586 and Waiheke $111,238. Using two factors which adjust with changing trends simplify future calculations rather than the arbitrary amounts used in options D and E. Boosts to council assets in deprived areas like the Wesley Community Centre in Puketāpapa provide widespread benefits such as reductions in youth offending. e) note that the maximum percentage reduction in funds to any local board under a 90% population, 10% deprivation model compared to a 100% population model is 6.5% with only three boards losing more than 5%. f) agree that the Local Board Funding Policy should include a general allocation formula for any future allocations. g) support Local Boards being able to bring forward regionally funded projects using their Capex Fund allocation. h) support the continued ability of local Boards to use the Locally Driven Initiative budget for capital projects. i) circulate these resolutions to other Boards. j) thank officer, Shirley Coutts, for her attendance. |
