Governance Framework Review recommendations

Resolution number HW/2017/149

MOVED by Chairperson D Collings, seconded by Member J Spiller:  

That the Howick Local Board:

a)        Provide feedback on the following draft positions and recommendations of    the Political Working Party:

  Regional policy and decision-making

            i.  Agree that council should implement new mechanisms that ensure effective local board input to regional policy decisions, via a framework that sets out, at a minimum:

·      A process for involving local boards in the development of jointly agreed regional work programmes at the beginning of each term and in an annual refresh;

·      Earlier and more joint engagement between local boards and the governing body in regional decision-making processes

·      Requirements for analysis of local impacts and local interest of regional decisions and options, and reporting of this to local boards and the governing body

·      Specified criteria for categorising the potential local impact and local board interest of regional decisions

·      Processes and methods for tailoring local board engagement in line with the local impact and local interest of regional decisions e.g. high categorisation requiring more specific local engagement and analysis, low categorisation requiring more cluster joint local board workshop sessions and less in depth analysis.

·      Specified methods for engagement and communication with local boards at all stages of the decision-making process, noting that some timeframes e.g. central government submissions are outside council’s control and the methods may not be able to be implemented in all cases.

           ii.  Direct that local boards will be consulted on the details of these mechanisms prior to implementation.

          iii.  Request sufficient capacity for development of policy that is a priority for multiple local boards.

          iv.  Note that the Quality Advice programme is continuing to be implemented in order to improve the quality of advice to elected members for decision-making, in line with the recommendations of the Governance Framework Review.

           v.  Agree not to implement any formal policies or procedures that control when and how local boards may procure external or contestable advice, but note that, in principle, the Auckland Council organisation should be the first provider of advice to local boards.

          vi.  Agree not to implement any policy or procedure that would limit local boards’ ability to advocate to the governing body on regional issues.

Local decisions that may have regional impacts (development of a ‘call-in’ right)

        vii.  Note that an explicit call-in right is not possible under the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 

       viii.  Agree not to implement any mechanism that would have the effect of ‘calling in’ or allocating decision-making to the governing body for otherwise local activities or decisions that have regional implications.

          ix.  Direct officers that, whenever a local board is to make a decision that has potential impacts beyond the immediate local board area e.g. a sub-regional impact or an impact on regional networks, advice on those potential impacts is to be provided to the local board as a matter of course (for example through a regional impact statement).

Allocations and delegations

           x.  Agree that the governing body delegates, subject to the necessary statutory tests being met, the following Reserves Act 1977 decision-making functions for local reserves to local boards:

·      declaration

·      classification

·      reclassification

·      application for revocation of reserve status (limited to when there is a desire by a local board to manage open space under the LGA)

          xi.  Note that officers’ advice on decision-making for exchanges of reserve land was that it should remain with the governing body, with the relevant local board consulted on these decisions

        xii.  Note that the working party did not reach consensus on this issue, and will consider the feedback of local boards before making a recommendation

       xiii.  Agree that the Minister of Conservation’s supervisory powers remain delegated to staff, but where there is likely to be significant public interest, an independent commissioner should be engaged.

The role of Auckland Transport and local boards

       xiv.  Note the critical interface between the local place-shaping role of local boards and Auckland Transport’s jurisdiction over the road corridor and transport networks.

        xv.  Note that the Governance Manual for Substantive CCOs requires Auckland Transport, amongst other things, to:

·      develop, with local boards, a shared understanding of local board views and CCO priorities to inform the following year’s business planning, including through an annual interactive workshop ‘where local boards communicate their local board priorities and the CCOs communicate how their current year work programme will contribute to local board priorities’.

·      develop by 31 July each year an annual local board engagement plan, which includes a schedule ‘clearly indicat[ing] for each board, the projects and/or activities that it expects to report on, and the projects and activities that it expects to consult on, for the following year. This should be updated annually or more frequently if required.’  

·      report against their local board engagement plan in their quarterly performance reports to the CCO Governance and Monitoring Committee.

       xvi.  Direct Auckland Transport to meet all requirements for local board engagement as set out in the Governance Manual for Substantive CCOs.

      xvii.  Direct Auckland Council officers to monitor Auckland Transport’s compliance with the requirements for local board engagement, as set out in the Governance Manual for Substantive CCOs, and to report this monitoring to the governing body at least annually.

    xviii.  Note that the Mayor’s 2017 letter of expectation to Auckland Transport stipulated that council expects there to be:

·      better and earlier engagement and communication between Auckland Transport and local boards;

·      active consideration by Auckland Transport of which of its decision-making powers it could delegate to local boards (within the constraints created by the regulatory environment, safety considerations, the needs of regional networks and the role played by NZTA in decision-making).

       xix.  Note that the following activity statement has been included in Auckland Transport’s 2017-2020 Statement of Intent:

‘Participation in the governance review which is aimed at changing behaviours and processes across relevant Council family activities, including Auckland Transport, to enable local boards to give effect to their governance role, particularly around local place-shaping.’

        xx.  Note that the Governance Framework Review has investigated the potential delegation of a range of Auckland Transport powers and the working party recommends that additional work be undertaken to identify delegation opportunities

       xxi.  Direct Auckland Transport, in working with local boards, to:

·      Ensure that local boards have a strong governance role in determining the ‘look and feel’ of town centres and streetscapes, in line with their allocation of non-regulatory decision-making

·      Improve co-ordination between local place-shaping projects, such as town centre upgrades, and its renewals programmes

·      Provide more opportunities for local board direction on the prioritisation of minor traffic safety projects, with the exception of those which Auckland Transport considers are of critical safety importance

·      Be more responsive to local place-shaping initiatives in non-transport parts of the road corridor, including reducing or removing barriers to community place-making initiatives e.g. looking at ways to reduce the costs of developing traffic management plans for community events

·      Take direction from local boards on how and where to implement community-focused programmes

      xxii.  Direct Auckland Transport to report to the governing body annually on how it is meeting the directions given under recommendation xxi.

    xxiii.  Note that the Quality Advice programme has been working with Auckland Transport to improve the quality of advice to local boards and will shortly begin regular six monthly surveys of local board members’ satisfaction with Auckland Transport advice, engagement and reporting to local boards.

    xxiv.  Note that the Local Board Transport Capital Fund is valued by local boards but that the level of funding means that some boards are not able to progress meaningful projects, and that improved local transport outcomes may be achieved if the size of the fund was significantly increased.

      xxv.  Direct officers to report to the relevant governing body committee, through the Long Term Plan process, on options for significantly increasing the Local Board Transport Capital Fund and the method of allocation of the fund.

    xxvi.  Direct Auckland Transport to implement a more systematic work programme approach to assist local boards to identify potential projects and make decisions.

   xxvii.  Direct Auckland Transport to actively engage with governing body members (ward councillors) on transport projects and issues within their ward areas.

Waiheke Local Board pilot

  xxviii.  Agree that the governing body should endorse the Waiheke Local Board pilot project as set out in the Waiheke Local Board pilot project plan.

    xxix.  Note that the Waiheke Local Board will maintain oversight of local implementation of the pilot.

      xxx.  Request that evaluation of the pilot is reported back to all local boards.

Local boards funding and finance

    xxxi.  Agree that the enhanced status quo model be progressed now, giving as much additional decision making to local boards as possible within that framework.

   xxxii.  Agree that the additional work to support the Enhanced status quo model be undertaken – framework for service levels and local flexibility, options for addressing historical uneven funding, improving the information and advice that is provided to local boards.

 xxxiii.  Agree that further work on the implications of the local decision making model also be undertaken for further consideration - modelling of rates implication following the revaluation, costs to the organisation of supporting more local decision making etc.

The optimum number of local boards

 xxxiv.        Agree that there is no need to change the current number of local boards as at this time as there is no overwhelming need to change.

   xxxv.        Agree that any decision to review the numbers of local boards should not occur until after the Governance Framework Review is completed and implemented and the outcomes of the re-organisation proposals for North Rodney and Waiheke are known.

Methods of electing governing body members

  xxxvi.  Agree that the election process for the number of governing body members and wards should remain unchanged as there is no identified need to change or undertake an in-depth review on the election of governing body members.

xxxvii.  Note that the statutory review of representation arrangements for Auckland Council must be completed by September 2018.

xxxviii.  Note that the Local Government Act Amendment Bill No. 2, which proposes a simplified process for local government-led reorganisation processes, is currently before Parliament.

  xxxix.  Support Auckland Council advocating to central government for legislative amendments that would allow for future changes to the number of governing body members in line with population change and to simplify the process for changes to the numbers and boundaries of local boards and the creation of Maori wards in Auckland.

         xl.  Support the following naming conventions for elected members of the Auckland Council as: Regional Council Member and Local Council Member.
