This request was only received on 13 June 2018. The development of this event was contingent on Harbour Sport securing a Māori group to deliver aspects of the programme. This did not occur in time for an application to be made to the Upper Harbour Local Board’s last contestable grant round, which closed on 18 May 2018. Discussion of the item cannot be delayed as the proposed Matariki event is scheduled for 7 July 2018 and the next board meeting is on 19 July 2018. This is therefore, the only available board meeting before 7 July 2018. |
|
Resolution number UH/2018/57 MOVED by Chairperson M Miles, seconded by Deputy Chairperson L Whyte: That the Upper Harbour Local Board: a) consider an extraordinary item regarding the proposed Harbour Sport Matariki event at item 29 on this agenda: i. the reason the matter was not on the agenda is that the request was not available at time of agenda print. ii. the reason why the discussion of this matter cannot be delayed until a subsequent meeting is that the proposed Matariki Event is scheduled for 7 July 2018 and this is the only meeting of the Upper Harbour Local Board prior to that date. |
