MOVED by Chairperson D Collings, seconded by Member B
Wichman:
That the Howick
Local Board:
a)
receive
the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 and draft Auckland Plan 2050 consultation
feedback report.
b) receive
the submissions as tabled at the meeting.
c) approve
its advocacy initiatives, including its key advocacy project, for inclusion
as an appendix to the Howick 2018/2019 Local Board Agreement, as detailed in
the tabled attached document entitled “Howick Local Board Key Advocacy
Issues 2018/19” and summarised as points i) and ii) below:
i) key
advocacy project – Bring forward development of multi-use community
facility and library, and the aquatic centre at Flat Bush.
ii) Development
of a consistent regional funding approach to managing coastal erosion and
beach replenishment
d) recommend
$705,000 of 2017/2018 Locally Driven Initiative (LDI) operating expenditure
to be deferred to 2018/2019 to the Governing Body per the tabled document
Attachment C.
e) receive
consultation feedback on regional proposals in the 10-year Budget 2018-2028
and draft Auckland Plan 2050 from people or organisations based in the Howick
local board area.
f) partially
supports the proposals in the 10-year Budget 2018-2028, subject to the
following feedback:
i) do
not support the regional fuel tax. Although the board believes that Auckland
Transport projects, particularly AMETI, should be made an absolute priority,
we believe that the AMETI project should be prioritised first before
the light rail network, and funded through a cost savings within Council and
a higher contribution from alternative funding sources
ii) The
outcomes of a water quality targeted rate are supported, but the local board
supports a fixed levy for residential properties and not a targeted rate
based on property value as all residents will gain benefit and therefore
should be charged equally. The local board would also like to see regular
monitoring of progress of related projects to gauge effectiveness
iii) The outcomes
of the natural environment targeted rate are supported, but the local board
supports a fixed levy for residential properties (based on Option B) and not
a targeted rate based on property value as all residents will gain benefit
and therefore should be charged equally.
g) supports
the proposals in the Draft Auckland Plan 2050, subject to the following
feedback:
i)
with regard to Outcome area 2: Maori Identity and Wellbeing,
the local board seeks further clarification of the meaning of the phrase
“customary rights” and it’s relationship with endangered
species
h) supports the proposals in the Draft Waste Management and
Minimisation Plan 2018 on the basis that this aligns with the Howick Local
Board Plan Outcome 4 and is supported by the majority of submitters in the
Howick Ward.
i) in
response to the submission from the Howick Gymnastics Club (submission
#16500) for a multi sport facility at Lloyd Elsmore Park, the local board
supports the development of a Regional Sport and Recreation Investment Fund
in order that council may respond with more flexibility and more effectively
to sport and recreation initiatives, such as this.
j) in
response to the submission from the Howick & Districts Historical Society
Inc (submission #13519) the local board supports the Howick & Districts
Historical Society Inc’s request for the Howick Historical Village to
become a regional facility.
