Adoption of the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board Agreement 2018/2019
File No.: CP2018/08431
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To adopt a Local Board Agreement 2018/2019, a message from the chair, local board advocacy, and a local fees and charges schedule for 2018/2019.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. Each financial year, Auckland Council must have a local board agreement between the Governing Body and the local board, for each local board area.
3. From 28 February to 28 March 2018, council consulted on the 10-year Budget 2018-2028. 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.
4. Local boards are now considering local content for the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 which includes a local board agreement, a message from the chair, local board advocacy, and a local fees and charges schedule for 2018/2019.
5. On 28 June 2018, the Governing Body will meet to adopt Auckland Council’s 10-year Budget 2018-2028, including 21 local board agreements.
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. One ‘Have your say’ event and three drop-in sessions were held locally in the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu 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 9th May 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 Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board area, 41 identified as Māori. Three mana whenua iwi with rohe overlapping the local board area, namely Waikato Tainui, Ngāti Paoa and Ngāti Tamaoho Trust, made submissions to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028. The Manukau Urban Māori Authority also made a submission. These submissions were considered by the local board when advocating to the Governing Body and developing the local board agreement.
16. Ongoing conversations will assist local boards and Māori to understand each other’s priorities and issues. Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board is committed to an initiative with mana whenua and southern local boards which is actively exploring ‘Māori input into local board decision-making’. This project, along with others and on-going relationship building, seeks to influence and encourage Māori participation in council’s decision-making processes.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
17. 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.
18. Funding for locally driven initiatives (LDI) is discretionary funding local boards can spend on local priorities that are important to their communities.
19. 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.
20. A local fees and charges schedule for 2018/2019 is adopted alongside of the Local Board Agreement 2018/2019.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
21. 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
22. 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.
23. 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.
24. 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.
