Resolution number OR/2017/70 MOVED by Chairman C Davis, seconded by Member T Millar: That the Ōrākei Local Board: a) receive the public feedback on its local projects and advocacy initiatives from submitters on the draft Annual Budget 2017/2018, who indicated their support; i. for the Ōrākei Local Board to continue advocating for a Gowing Drive area feeder link to the Glen Innes to Tamaki Drive Shared Path; ii. to end the subsidies provided towards venue hire for specific groups and encouraging them to apply via the contestable local board grants rounds; iii. to discontinue the Winter Splash event and to not implement an additional Movies in Parks event. b) receive the public feedback on its local projects and advocacy initiatives from submitters on the draft Annual Budget 2017/2018. c) agree its 2017/2018 locally driven initiatives opex budgets by activity area, within funding envelopes, as follows:
d) agree that its key advocacy initiative for inclusion in the 2017/2018 Local Board Agreement is a feeder link in the Gowing Drive, Meadowbank area that will connect to the Glen Innes to Tamaki Drive Shared Path and provide a safe, direct walking and cycling route between Meadowbank and Kohimarama.
e) agree to allocate up to $2,000,000 of discretionary capital funding to a feeder link directly connecting Gowing Drive to the Glen Innes to Tamaki Drive Shared Path, based on the condition that the Governing Body, Auckland Transport and NZTA collaborate with the Ōrākei Local Board to provide the remaining funding of this feeder link which was recognised by the Hearing Commissioners as necessary for the fulfilment of the objectives of the Government/ NZTA Shared Path project. f) request that Auckland Transport release up to $150,000 from the Local Board Transport Capital Fund to conduct phase 2 of the feasibility study for the Gowing Drive link to the Glen Innes to Tamaki Drive Shared Path . g) provide to the Governing Body the following views on regional financial policy issues based on feedback from Ōrākei residents: i. note that 81 per cent of respondents indicated that they did not want a rates increase any higher than 2.5 per cent; ii. support the same percentage rates increase be applied to both business and residential ratepayers in 2017/2018; iii. support in principle, the 2017/2018 Annual Budget proposal for a targeted rate for all commercial accommodation providers, subject to any necessary amendments which ensure practicality and fairness; iv. support the 2017/2018 Annual Budget proposal to change the Auckland Council funding policy to allow for the use of targeted rates, alongside existing growth charges, to fund infrastructure for new development where this reduces the incentive for land banking and that a percentage of development contributions collected from the local board area are spent on infrastructure development in the local board area in which the development contribution is collected; v. note that the 2017/2018 Annual Budget proposal to implement a living wage policy for staff of Auckland Council and its substantive council-controlled organisations was the least supported by Ōrākei Local Board residents. h) recommend to the Governing Body the release of $183,594 from the Parking Reserve Fund for the Shore Road East Reserve and Waiatarua Reserve car park upgrades. i) recommend that $229,000 of 2016/2017 locally driven initiatives budgets to be deferred to 2017/2018: i. Coastal ecological restoration – Hobson Bay Mangrove $64,000 ii. Coastal ecological restoration – Tahuna Torea Mangrove $60,000 iii. OBAG state of basin management plan revision $5,000 iv.
