Resolution number GBI/2017/40 MOVED by Chairperson I Fordham, seconded by Member S Johnson: That the Great Barrier Local Board: a) confirm its final 2017/2018 LDI budgets by project, within the funding envelopes as outlined in Attachment B and confirm its final 2016/2017 LDI carry forward list as outlined in Attachment C. b) confirm its advocacy initiatives for inclusion in the 2017/2018 Local Board Agreement as outlined in Attachment D noting that the board is no longer required to fund extra costs of mechanical weed management. c) confirm that its key priority advocacy area for the organisation to work on is around advancing off the grid, alternative energy and sustainability initiatives for the island which it will be advocating for support and funding for in the 2017/18 annual budget and subsequent 10 year budget. d) confirm its views on regional financial proposals as included in Attachment E noting in particular it does not support the imposition of a targeted rate on accommodation providers as there are only a small number of licensed accommodation providers on Great Barrier Island that would be levied whereas there are numerous unlicensed accommodation providers who would not be included. The board considers that it is highly unlikely that any of this fund would be spent on the island as priorities would almost certainly be elsewhere where real visitor impacts are felt. e) recommend $65,000 of its LDI opex 2016/2017 to be deferred to 2017/2018. f) request additional Locally Driven Initiative funding of $57,230 to offset the additional costs imposed under the empowered communities model overhead calculation on the basis that the board’s LDI funding is fixed and adversely impacted by this increase as outlined in Attachment D – Advocacy. g) note that it has $17,000 for Locally Driven Initiative capex and $196,122 for LIPs project to allocate in 2017/2018 financial year.
