Resolution number OP/2016/60
MOVED
by Chairperson E Collins, seconded by Deputy Chairperson HVR Robertson:
That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe
Local Board:
a) approve
the final 2016/2017 Locally Driven Initiative budgets by activity, within
funding envelopes.
b) agree
the key advocacy issues set out in Attachment B to the report, with the
additional item: “retain 17 St George St for community purposes (Panuku
Development Auckland.)”
c) confirm
these advocacy points to be highlighted in discussion with the Finance and Performance
Committee on 6 and 9 May 2016:
·
support
Regional Facilities Auckland in attracting speedway to Colin Dale Park, and
recognising Colin Dale Park as a regional facility.
·
advocate for
profits from the sale of council assets in the Manukau Spatial Priority Area
(Transform Manukau) to be spent to develop projects in Transform Manukau.
·
advocate to
the governing body for more equitable share of regional funds for local
sports facilities and parks (i.e. Kolmar Sports Centre, Ngati Otara Park
multi-sport complex, Te Puke o Tara Park, Rongomai Sports Park).
d) confirm
the board’s views on these regional financial policy issues:
·
maintain the
current level of Uniform Annual General Charge at $397.
·
keep the
Interim Transport Levy at $183 for businesses and $114 for all other
ratepayers; and all businesses pay the same amount regardless of their
property value.
·
keep the
Farm/Lifestyle property rates the same (80% of the urban residential rate for
properties that have the same value).
·
retain Maori
freehold land rates at current levels.
e) recommend
to the governing body that it adopt for inclusion in the Annual Plan
2016/2017 a targeted rate set as a uniform charge per separately used or
inhabited part of a property, on residential properties in the
Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board area, for the purpose of fully subsidising
entry to swimming pools for persons 17 years and over. Further, that the
local board notes the rate is estimated to be $29.37 including GST, based on
current cost estimates and the number of separately used or inhabited parts
of a residential property in the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board area.
f) recommend
$0 of 2015/2016 Locally Driven Initiative opex to be deferred.
g) receive
the community feedback on the Annual Plan, including the tabled late
submission of Alexandria Purvis (#3341), thank everyone who gave feedback,
and refer all feedback to relevant council departments for their
consideration and reporting as appropriate, and
i.
refer to the Parks, Recreation and
Sport Committee the feedback received from Justin Leydesdorff (Papatoetoe
Sports Community & Charitable Trust – Kolmar #1905), requesting on-going
operational funding from the council of $220,000 per annum for the operation
and maintenance of Kolmar, with a request from the board to the committee to
note the current review of the business model of Kolmar (for completion in
July) and thereafter to consider increasing the $103,000 annual grant from
the Community Access Scheme.
ii refer to the Arts,
Community and Events Department the feedback received from Diane Maloney
(Sistema Aotearoa #1931) requesting funding from council of $200,000 per
annum for three years, with a request that the department report to the board

governing body to consider funding Sistema Aotearoa’s music programmes.
iii.
note the feedback from Papatoetoe
Historical Society #71, requesting relocation of the Papatoetoe museum to
Papatoetoe Chambers, and suggest to the society that it participate in the
current “expressions of interest” process for space at the Chambers.
