Item 22 Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local board feedback on - Business Improvement District (BIDs) Policy and Policy Operating Standards 2016 –V2.0

The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local board welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed Business Improvement District Policy and Policy Operating Standards (2016).

Therefore the local board provides the following feedback:

General

i) That the local board request the opportunity to speak in support of their written submission to the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee.

Local board roles and responsibilities

ii) Support the greater emphasis in the revised policy for collaborative relationships between local boards and the business associations running a Business Improvement District (BID) programme. The policy notes the benefits of such relationships specifically as BID programmes and local board outcomes are generally aligned in favour of improved local economic outcomes and town centres. The success of BIDs is important to the wellbeing of local communities.

iii) Support the improved clarification (pg 21- Policy) about the role of local boards, BID programmes and council but note that there is an emphasis on local boards to:

a. Support strategic alignment between local boards and BIDs

b. Approve BID expansions and boundaries

c. Provide feedback to business association on annual reporting

d. Seek alignment between other local board activities and BID programmes

e. Recommending BID programme target rate to the governing body

Request that there is clarification on the specific role of council staff to support the responsibilities tasked to local boards. It is unclear from the table who will support the local board with the responsibilities noted in ‘a-e’.

iv) Request clear role allocation as to who will lead the various processes identified in the table 2 to support BIDs in developing their strategic plans, organise local board/ BID forums and supporting the requirement for BID reporting to the boards. In practice, this may prove to be difficult and impractical without expert council officer advice to the BIDs or local boards.

v) Request the introduction of a 1 to 2 year transition period where capacity building support by council is provided to BID’s particularly smaller BID’s to ensure the success of all our BIDs under the new policy. The greater emphasis of responsibility on the BID’s themselves is supported by the board, but to be implemented in a manner that minimises the risk to smaller BID programmes.

Accountability

vi) Supports the requirement for BID programmes to have key performance indicators (KPIs). This is an important policy principle that should be retained in the BID Policy (2016). The policy should require KPIs to be meaningful, measurable and aligned to achieving the outcomes in the business association’s strategic plan. BID programmes reporting on their progress in achieving their KPIs could be used as a mechanism to determine the effectiveness of a BID programme.

vii) Request further investigation into options for supporting ‘at risk’ or smaller BID programmes financial reporting and options conveyed to those smaller BIDs such as Māngere East & Māngere Bridge. The local board are concerned with the potential costs of independent auditing. Bulk purchase of audit services should also be explored by council as an option for clusters of BIDs, particularly smaller BIDs.

viii) Does not support the requirement for mandatory reporting in the early stages of instituting the new policy. As noted in iv) above, a transition period should be instituted to allow for those BIDs requiring support to be given an opportunity to develop capacity within a reasonable timeframe.

ix) Alternately supports the BIDs having a voluntary reporting requirement during a transition period to encourage an active working relationship and to allow for local board oversight. As no decision is sought, a local board workshop or portfolio briefing may be appropriate.

x) Supportive of the local board receiving an annual report from council on individual BID programmes. The purpose of this report and the decision being sought from local boards needs to be clarified. It is seen as an opportunity to report on how the BID programme is doing in relation to the three success factors in the BID Policy as well as the BIDs own KPIs. This would give local board information accompanied by staff advice with regards to the function of the BID and the management of the targeted rate money. The decision sought from local boards could be to recommend to the governing body to continue/not continue striking the targeted rate.

Ongoing capacity building:

xi) Notes that there is concern by the local board that current support by council officers for BIDs will be lost with the implementation of the new policy. This is particularly critical for smaller BID’s in the local area such as Māngere East and Māngere Bridge which in the boards view requires continued need for greater officer support.

BID Programme leverage

xii) Supports of the example of Māngere Town Centre BID which contracts to council to deliver improved cleaning services through tendering for council contracts. The Māngere–Ōtāhuhu Local Board strongly supports local procurement with regard to Auckland Council contracts and local BIDs should be able to compete in those processes, creating income streams, local jobs and more customised service levels appropriate to town centres.

I requested a possible change of day for their meetings from Wednesdays. I also gave the Secretary my card again to enable them to inform me of future meetings, time, date, and possible cancellations.

1 have been in correspondence with Ian Smallburn about the granting of a non-notifiable status of a 22 year lease for a foreign owned company to compost food waste on Puketutu Island. The response has been slow, but a council officer has agreed to come and meet with me and the Chair over the lack of consultation.

Also ongoing contact with planning office re an application for a child care centre in a traffic area with major congestion problems with access and egress. AT is going to do a survey of their own, and not rely on the traffic report of the applicant.

Watching Brief

- Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan – our Board considered the ‘out of scope’ Item, that had been decided by the Unitary Plan Committee, with the Item being taken to the Whole of Governing Body. The Item was voted down, and lost in a recent Governing Board February 2016, after many of the Residents’ groups were outraged and organised Public Submissions.. What that means is that Unitary Plan will not consider any ‘out of scope’ changes specifically to revert back to the original submissions filed.

- Annual Plan 4 key questions from Governing Board to the Community.

- Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board Area Plan – this was carried out in the 2010-2013 election period. Being the first Local Board to successfully complete our Area Plan, the community Board can be confident, the exercise provided the privileged opportunity for consideration of Zones and land uses within Mangere-Otahuhu Ward Boundaries. As a result, a number of discussions had already been held and informed the Unitary Plan. Unlike other Local Board Areas, they did not have this opportunity.

- The Board took the courageous step of funding and supporting local strand of an Arts International Symposium co-ordinated and organised by the Pacific Arts Association. The Board had chosen to satisfy one of 2013-2016 Mangere Arts Centre will be hosting the final day of the Symposium. An updated report will be included April 2016.

- NZTA Kirkbride Tunnel and Road construction works, Site Visit will be held in the next month.

- District Licensing Recruitment Process 2016.

- New Inorganic Collection 2016 Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board Areas.

- Mangere Pedestrian Bridge Replacement.
