Resolution
number OP/2017/64
MOVED by Chairperson L Fuli, seconded by Deputy
Chairperson R Robertson:
That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe
Local Board:
a) approve
the final 2017/2018 Locally Driven Initiative budgets
by project, within funding envelopes (Attachment B)
b) agree
the advocacy initiatives for inclusion in the 2017/2018 Local Board Agreement
(Attachment C).
c) confirm the local board’s key advocacy priority for the
organisation to work on: discontinue the board’s payment of interest on
borrowing for Colin Dale Park (first initiative, Attachment C)
d) confirm
the board’s views on these regional financial policy issues:
i) acknowledge
that the majority of the local submitters support a 2.5% rates increase which
the board supports accordingly;
ii) paying
for tourist promotion: tourist operators should be contributing to the
infrastructure costs to council that arise from tourism, and the money raised
should be fairly allocated to infrastructure within the local board’s
area;
iii) paying
for housing infrastructure: the money raised should be fairly allocated to
infrastructure within the local board’s area;
iv) paying
council staff a living wage: the board supports this proposal in
principle.
e) recommend
that the governing body approves the new boundaries for the Wiri and Manukau
business improvement districts (BIDs).
f) recommend
that the governing body adopts for inclusion in the Annual Plan 2017/2018 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.
g) recommend $30,000 of 2016/2017 Locally
Driven Initiatives operational expenditure be deferred to 2017/2018.
h) note the public feedback on the draft annual plan, and refer all
feedback to relevant council departments for their consideration and
reporting as appropriate, and
i) refer
to Community Services Department (Parks Sport and Recreation) and Auckland
Transport the feedback received about Swaffield Road litter, general
untidiness and suggested development for the adjoining reserve;
ii) include
the Papatoetoe Museum and Arts facility project into the board’s
advocacy list
iii) refer
to the Community Services Department (Parks Sport and Recreation) and
Auckland Transport the feedback received about the trees in Flatbush Road,
and request staff to take all necessary steps to avoid any nuisance to
residents from a build-up of fallen leaves this autumn.
iv) refer
to Community Services Department (Community Empowerment Unit) the feedback
received on a seniors symposium, as the local board would like to progress
this concept in 2017/2018.
