the following response on regional financial policy issues:

support a rates increase at a minimum of

we note from limited feedback, there is support
in principle for the introduction of payment for tourism promotion, subject
to the refinement of the implementation mechanisms;

support the principle of paying for
infrastructure development, through proposed changes to the Revenue and
Financing Policy to allow for the use of targeted rates, alongside existing
growth charges, to fund infrastructure for new houses; and
·
support the principle of paying council
staff a living wage.
e) recommend $10,000 of 2016/2017 locally
driven initiative operating expenditure be deferred to 2017/2018.
