9.       The committee requested staff inform the event organisers that the local board expects that they will find sustainable funding sources over the next two years, at which time local board funding support will likely cease.

10.     At the same workshop, the local board discussed allocating the remaining $18,000 to new events through a contestable grants process. Staff will workshop the application criteria for the fund with the local board in quarter two of 2017/2018.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

11.     The local board selects events that align with the 2014-17 Rodney Local Board Plan priorities. The events recommended for funding through the non-contestable grants process align with the following local board priorities:

·    arts, culture and events enhance our communities and express who we are

·    communities are empowered and plan for their own futures

·    local halls and libraries are familiar, valued and well used community spaces.

Māori impact statement

12.     The allocation of funding to the events through the non-contestable process has no particular benefit for, or adverse impact on, Māori. However, Māori, like all stakeholders, are encouraged to attend and enjoy the events.

Implementation

13.     Should the local board approve the partial allocation of the targeted event fund, staff will administer funding agreements with the recipients and disburse funding. Staff will report back to the local board once the recipients have completed their accountability reports.

Purpose

1.       To approve project leads for the Rodney Local Board Parks and Recreation Committee.

4.       The Committee Chairperson has received requests to act as project lead from:

a)   Member Houlbrooke, as lead for the Warkworth Swimming Pool

b)   Member Pirrie, as lead for the Huapai Multisport centre

c)   Member Berger, as lead for implementation of the Rodney Youth Plan

5.       Additional project leads may be appointed in the future with the approval of the Parks and Recreation Committee.

Comments

6.       On 15 December 2016 the Rodney Local Board approved the “Rodney Local Board Project Leads Framework” which established a project lead structure to empower members to progress local board initiatives. 

7.       Being a project lead allows members to pursue particular priorities and initiatives of the local board without the need to require staff or officers to meet with the entire local board in a formal setting.  It is anticipated this will speed up projects while ensuring good lines of communication exist between members and that developments are reported back to the local board regularly

8.       All project leads must:

a)   complete a written application to be a project lead on a particular project and present this to the relevant committee or full local board for approval

b)   ensure that any application to become a project lead relates to a project set out in a departmental work programme that has been approved by the Rodney Local Board

c)   include the chairperson(s) in all correspondence relating to the project/initiative for which they are the project lead

d)   operate under a ‘no surprises’ policy with chairperson(s) and notify them immediately of any issues, conflicts or any other problems with the project

e)   report regularly to the full board or committee that appointed them a project lead on their activities in a defined project leads reporting time at workshops

f)    involve other local board members where they deem necessary

g)   act responsibly at all times.

h)   treat all council and agency staff with respect

i)    adhere to the terms of their project lead appointment at all times

9.       Project leads must not:

a)   approve any expenditure

b)   imply or promise that the local board or council will commit to any future expenditure

c)   make landowner approval for any project to proceed or confirm the details of any final placement or design of any structure

d)   sign off on a project as complete

e)   change the scope of a project from what was agreed to in the project lead appointment

10.     The local board or committee that appoints a project lead may grant the project lead additional powers as it sees fit.

11.     On 16 February 2017 the Rodney Local Board approved terms of reference for the Parks and Recreation Committee. Those terms of reference allow for individual members to be appointed by the committee as project leads to pursue specific priorities or initiatives relevant to the committee.

Proposed Project Lead

12.     The Chairperson has received four requests to act as project lead from Member Houlbrooke for the Warkworth Swimming Pool, as set out in Attachment A to the agenda report. This project is to work with a funding/operating partner to advance the construction of a swimming pool for the wider Warkworth area.  It is proposed that the project lead will have the additional authority to meet with staff, members of the public and external agencies, request an officer report to the local board, and provide media comment on the project. The project lead will report back to the board quarterly.

13.     The Chairperson has received a request to act as project lead from Member Pirrie for the Huapai Multisport Centre, as set out in Attachment B to the agenda report.  This project is to work with local sports groups and facilities staff to construct a multi-sports facility at the Huapai Recreation Domain.  It is proposed that the project lead will have the additional authority to meet with staff, members of the public and external agencies, request an officer report to the local board, and provide media comment on the project. The project lead will report back to the board quarterly.

14.     The Chairperson has received a request to act as project lead from Member Berger to implement the Rodney Youth Voices plan, as set out in Attachment C to the agenda report. This project aims to create opportunities to engage with young people and build the capacity of youth. It is proposed that the project lead will have the additional authority to meet with staff, members of the public and external agencies, request an officer report to the local board, and provide media comment on the project. The project lead will report back to the board quarterly.

15.     The Chairperson has received a request to as a project lead from Member Johnston, to initiate community-led planning for the development of Green Road as a future reserve, as set out in Attachment D to the agenda report. This will involve liaising with council staff, the community and other local boards to establish a community-led direction for the future of this reserve. It is proposed that the project lead will have the additional authority to meet with staff, members of the public and external agencies, request an officer report to the local board, and provide media comment on the project. The project lead will report back to the board quarterly.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

16.     This report seeks the views of the Rodney Local Board Parks and Recreation Committee on the appointment of the proposed project leads.
