Horopaki / Context
6. Local
board plans are strategic documents that are developed every three years to set
a direction for local boards. Local board plans influence and inform the
10-year Budget 2018-2028 (and associated local board agreements) which outlines
priorities, budgets and intended levels of service over a 10-year period and
for each financial year, Auckland Council must have a local board agreement
between the Governing Body and the local board, for each local board area.
7. Local
board nominees have had the opportunity to attend Finance and Performance
Committee workshops on key topics and provide local board views on the 10-year
Budget 2018-2028.
8. From
28 February to 28 March 2018, Council consulted with the public on the 10-year
Budget 2018-2028. Two locally held events were held in the Albert-Eden Local
Board area to engage with the community and seek feedback on both regional and
local proposals.
9. A
report analysing the feedback on local board priorities, as well as feedback
from those living in the local board area related to the regional issues, was
included as an attachment on the 9 May 2018 business meeting agenda.
10. Local boards
considered this feedback, and then held discussions with the Finance and
Performance Committee on 16 and 17 May 2018 on regional issues, community
feedback and key local board initiatives and advocacy areas.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
11. Both staff
and the local board have reviewed the feedback received on 10-year Budget 2018-2028
and local boards have received a report analysing the feedback. It is now
recommended that local boards adopt local content for the 10-year Budget
2018-2028 (Attachment A), including the Local Board Agreement 2018/2019, and a
local fees and charges schedule for 2018/2019 (Attachment B).
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te
poari ā-rohe /
Local impacts and local board views
12. This report seeks local board adoption of
its content for the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 and other associated material, including the Local Board
Agreement 2018/2019.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact
statement
13. Many local
board decisions are of importance to and impact on Māori. Local board
agreements and the 10-year Budget are important tools that enable and can
demonstrate council’s responsiveness to Māori.
14. Local board
plans, which were developed in 2017 through engagement with the community
including Māori, form the basis of local priorities. There is a need to
continue to build relationships between local boards and iwi, and where
relevant the wider Māori community.
15. Of those who submitted to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 from the Albert-Eden Local Board area 102 identified as Māori.
Ongoing conversations will assist local boards and Māori
to understand each other’s priorities and issues. This in turn can
influence and encourage Māori participation in council’s
decision-making processes.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
16. The local
board agreement includes the allocation of locally driven initiatives (LDI)
funding and asset based services (ABS) funding to projects and services for the
2018/2019 financial year.
17. Funding for
locally driven initiatives (LDI) is discretionary funding local boards can
spend on local priorities that are important to their communities.
18. Funding for
asset based services (ABS) is required to run and maintain our local assets
including parks, pools and recreation facilities, community facilities, and
libraries.
19. A local fees
and charges schedule for 2018/2019 is adopted alongside of the Local Board
Agreement 2018/2019.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
20. Decisions on
the local content of the 10-year Budget 2018-2028, including the Local Board
Agreement 2018/2019 and a local fees and charges schedule for 2018/2019,
are required by 7 June 2018 to ensure the Governing Body can adopt the 10-year
Budget 2018-2028 at its 28 June 2018 meeting.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
21. The
resolutions of this meeting will be reported to the Governing Body on 28 June
2018 when it meets to adopt the 10-year Budget 2018-2028, including 21 local
board agreements.
22. It is
possible that minor changes may need to be made to the attachments before the
10-year Budget 2018-2028 is adopted, such as correction of any errors
identified and minor wording changes. Staff therefore recommend that the local
board delegates authority to the Chair to make final changes if necessary.
23. Local board
agreements set the priorities and budget envelopes for each financial year.
Work programmes then detail the activities that will be delivered within those
budget envelopes. Work programmes will be agreed between local boards and
operational departments at business meetings in June 2018.
