|
Topic
|
Comment
|
|
Rates increases
|
The local board notes of the 182 Manurewa submitters
there was 57% support for the 2.5% rates. The board is aware of the
financial challenges that 2.5% rates increase presents in supporting
unprecedented growth for Auckland and is of the view it would be fiscally
responsible to support a 3.5% rate increase while the organisation
continues to realise internal savings.
|
|
Rating stability
|
The local board supports
the rating stability proposal for 2017/2018 but notes this needs to be
reviewed for the Long-term Plan.
|
|
Paying for tourism
promotion
|
The local board supports alternative funding options.
The local board notes of the 182 Manurewa submitters there was 57% support
for an targeted rate on accommodation providers. The board also notes there
was a limited amount of information pertaining to the targeted rate for the
community or the local board to give an informed response and that the
information continues to evolve. Therefore the local board determines it
cannot support the proposal.
|
|
Paying for housing
infrastructure
|
The local board supports
this.
|
|
Paying council staff a
living wage
|
The local board supports
this.
|
|
Other changes for
2017/2018 (regarding waste management and charges, the mass transit
network, SkyPath implementation, collaborations on reducing homelessness
and the rural fire service)
|
The local board does not
support a change from a weekly to fortnightly rubbish collection.
The local board does not
support residents having to pay for a larger wheelie bin.
The local board supports
greater investment in and use of, an integrated public transport system.
The local board supports
the collaborations on homelessness.
|
e)
note the Wiri Business Improvement
District (BID) expansion project.
f) note
that there is no deferral of 2016/2017 Locally Driven Initiative (LDI)
operational expenditure (opex) budget to the 2017/2018 financial year.
