1          Welcome

 

Kua uru mai a hau kaha, a hau maia, a hau ora, a hau nui,

Ki runga, ki raro, ki roto, ki waho

Rire, rire hau…pai marire

Bring the calm, bring all things good, bring peace….good peace.

Adoption of Local Board Agreement 2016/2017

 

File No.: CP2016/10525

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       This report seeks adoption of local content for the Annual Plan 2016/2017, including a Local Board Agreement 2016/2017, a message from the chair, local board advocacy, local activity budgets and local performance targets, together with adoption of a local fees and charges schedule for 2016/2017.

Executive summary

2.       For each financial year, Auckland Council must have a local board agreement between the governing body and the local board, for each local board area.

3.       Every three years a local board plan is developed to inform the long-term plan (and associated local board agreements) which outlines priorities, budgets and intended levels of service over a 10 year period.

4.       In February and March this year, the council consulted on proposed changes for the Annual Plan 2016/2017.  Local boards then held discussions with the governing body on local feedback, common issues and local priorities prior to budget decisions being made on 13 May 2016.

5.       Local boards are now considering local content for the Annual Plan 2016/2017 which includes a local board agreement, a message from the chair, local board advocacy, local activity budgets and local performance targets, together with a local fees and charges schedule for 2016/2017.

6.       Local board agreements will include the allocation of locally driven initiative funding to projects and services.

7.       On 30 June 2016, the governing body will meet to adopt Auckland Council’s Annual Plan 2016/2017 including 21 local board agreements and associated performance targets and budgets.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Waiheke Local Board:

a)      adopts local content for the Annual Plan 2016/2017 (Attachment A), including:

i.          a Local Board Agreement 2016/2017

ii.          a message from the chair

iii.         local board advocacy

iv.        local activity budgets

v.         local performance targets

b)      adopts Local fees and charges schedules for 2016/2017 (Attachment B)

c)      notes:

i.        that the local activity budgets have been updated to reflect final budget decisions made by the governing body on 13 May 2016;

ii.       that if there are outstanding (not yet agreed) matters in the local board agreement, the local board should include an explanation of these matters in the Chair’s message at the front of the local board agreement;

iii.      that the resolutions of this meeting will be reported back to the governing body when it meets to adopt the Annual Plan 2016/2017 on 30 June 2016.

d)      agrees that the Chair be delegated authority to make any final minor changes to the local content for the Local Board Agreement 2016/2017.

 

 

Consideration

Local board views and implications

8.       This report seeks adoption from the local board on its content for the Annual Plan 2016/2017 and other associated material.  Engagement with the community, including consultation, and a number of workshops and meetings have been held by the local board and with the governing body to finalise their local board agreement.

Māori impact statement

9.       Many local board decisions are of importance to Māori and there is a need to continue to build relationships between local boards and relevant Iwi.  The local board agreement is based on the local board plan and the Annual Plan 2016/2017 which have both been developed through engagement with the community, including Māori.

Implementation

10.     The resolutions of this meeting will be reported to the governing body on 30 June 2016, when it meets to adopt the Annual Plan 2016/2017.

11.     Decisions on the local board agreement, a message from the chair, local board advocacy, local activity budgets and local performance targets are required today in order for staff to finalise local content for the Annual Plan 2016/2017.

12.     It is possible that minor changes may need to be made to the attachments before the annual plan is adopted, such as correction of any errors identified and minor wording changes.  Staff therefore recommends that the local board delegates authority to the Local Board Chair to make final changes if necessary.
