Central Facility Partnership Fund - Terms of Reference 2015-16

 

File No.: CP2016/03248

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       To seek the Central Facility Partnership Committee (the committee) agreement and adoption of the Central Facility Partnerships Committee Terms of Reference 2015/16 (Attachment A)

Executive Summary

2.       The Central Facility Partnerships Committee is a joint committee established by the seven central local boards.

3.       The committee provides governance over existing projects and provides a platform for joint advocacy in relation to community facilities.

4.       All seven member local boards have endorsed the draft terms of reference and guidelines for 2015-16.

 

 

Recommendations

That the Central Facility Partnerships Committee:

a)      Adopt the Central Facility Partnerships Committee Terms of Reference 2015-16

 

Discussion

5.       The Central Facility Partnerships Committee was established after the formation of Auckland Council to manage the Central Facility Partnerships Fund.  This fund assisted with the development of accessible multi-use community facilities across multiple local board areas in the Auckland isthmus and Gulf Islands.

6.       The Central Facility Partnership Committee included a member from each of the following central local boards:

·          Albert-Eden

·          Great Barrier

·          Maungakiekie-Tamaki

·          Orakei

·          Puketapapa

·          Waiheke; and

·          Waitematā

7.       Since 2010, the Central Facility Partnerships Committee allocated $10 million, which was leveraged to provide community projects with a total value of $45 million.  This community-led approach is consistent with the empowered communities’ philosophy currently being promoted by the Council.

8.       With the establishment of the $10 million locally driven initiatives Capex Fund for FY16, the Central Facility Partnership fund ceased.

9.       At the time the committee ended, thirteen of the approved projects had been completed while a further 19 remain active.

10.     On 3 August 2015, members of the previous Central Facility Partnership Committee, held a workshop to explore the future of the committee.  It was agreed that it was important to re-establish the Central Facility Partnership Committee to govern and monitor approved initiatives and to provide a vehicle for sub-regional level advocacy.

11.     The seven central local boards subsequently resolved to support the re-establishment of the Central Facility Partnerships Committee to provide governance and monitoring of the existing projects to their completion.

Consideration

Local Board Views and Implications

12.     The central local boards met in August 2015 and agreed that it was important to re-establish the Central Facility Partnerships Committee to govern and monitor approved initiatives and to provide a vehicle for sub-regional level advocacy.

13.     Subsequently the seven central local boards resolved to support the re-establishment of the Central Facility Partnerships Committee to provide governance and monitoring of the existing projects to their completion.

14.     The seven central local boards also agreed the Terms of Reference (Attachment A) and recommended them to the re-established Central Facility Partnerships Committee for final approval.

 

Maori Impact Statement

22.     The legacy community funding schemes are of general interest to communities and accessible to a wide range of groups, including Māori.

General

23.     The recommendations contained in this report fall within the committee’s delegated authority.

Implementation Issues

24.     The Central Facilities Partnerships Committee has the delegated authority to change the scope of approved projects and feasibility studies.  If further funds are required this will need to be sought from the individual local boards and a resolution of the specific board (s) is required.

14        Confirmation of Minutes

 

That the Central Facility Partnerships Committee:

a)         confirm the ordinary minutes of its meeting, held on Monday, 13 April 2015, including as a true and correct record.

 


Facility Partnership Advocacy Positions

 

File No.: CP2016/03481

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       This report provides the members of the Central Facility Partnership Committee with an update on what advocacy positions have been taken to date by each central local board and identifies upcoming opportunities to establish and present joint advocacy positions.

Executive Summary

2.       The purpose of the Committee as outlined in the Terms of Reference is to provide governance and oversight of approved partnership projects and feasibility studies; and develop and articulate joint facility-based advocacy positions and programmes

3.       Through the re-established committee, members may wish to seek joint advocacy positions around seeking approval to re-invest funds, up to the value of current commitments, in the event of a current commitment failing to crystallise, jointly advocate for identified upcoming partnership programme opportunities that have been agreed as priority projects and in the longer term, to advocate for the re-establishment of the Central Facility Partnerships Fund.

4.       In November 2015 Local Boards individually agreed their advocacy priorities that they wished to discuss with the Governing Body.  These were then presented as part of the annual plan discussions between the Finance and Performance Committee and the local boards on 27 November and 30 November.

5.       Three local boards included advocacy positions around the re-instatement of the Central Facilities Partnership Fund and two local boards included this advocacy position as part of their presentation to the Finance and Performance Committee. 

6.       In April 2016 all Local Boards will be resolving on their final advocacy positions for inclusion in their 2016/17 Local Board Agreement and presenting to the Finance and Performance Committee on the 6th and 9th May 2016.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Central Facility Partnerships Committee:

a)      Agree to develop a joint advocacy position that reflects the committees purpose as outlined in the Terms of Reference of the Central Facilities Partnership Committee

 

Comments

7.       Since 2010, the Central Facilities Partnership Committee has allocated $10 million which was leveraged to provide community projects with a total value of $45 million.  This community led approach is consistent with the empowered communities’ philosophy. 

8.       On 3 August 2015 members of the previous Central Facilities Partnership Committee held a workshop chaired by Waitematā Local Board and previous Committee chair, Shale Chambers.  Whilst the primary function of the committee was agreed to be one of governance over existing approved projects and feasibility studies it was also recognised that a re-established committee would provide a good vehicle for developing joint advocacy around community partnership issues and opportunities. 

9.       Central boards represented at the workshop also held a collective view that the success of the fund, as evidenced by the ratio of Auckland Council’s contribution (approx. $10M) to the total value of the projects completed (approx. $45M) warranted advocacy around re-establishing the fund in the future.

10.     In November 2015 Local Boards resolved and then discussed with the Finance and Performance Committee, as part of the annual plan discussions, selected advocacy positions.

11.     A review of the advocacy positions taken by each central local board, which are related to the purpose of the Central Facilities Partnership Committee has been undertaken to provide the Committee members with an overview of what current advocacy positions have been made.

12.     Three central local boards have included an advocacy position which requests the Governing Body to re-instate the Central Facilities Partnership Fund.

13.     Two local boards included this advocacy position in their presentation to the Finance and Performance Committee in November 2015.
