Draft Facility Partnership Policy

 

Members discussed the draft policy.

 

Resolution number HB/2018/176

MOVED by Deputy Chairperson J Fitzgerald, seconded by Member D Cooper:  

That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:

a)      support the adoption of the Draft Facility Partnerships Policy,

a)        provide the following feedback on the proposed approach for the Environment and Community Committee’s consideration:

i.           strongly supports the policy’s approach to enable communities and council to work together to deliver shared outcomes

ii.          considers that partnerships are a key tool to deliver community facilities, particularly in areas which have strong and motivated communities, but are not the primary focus for council to provide new facilities

 

iii.         supports the approach allowing requirements for partnerships to be tailored to the scale, complexity and risk of each proposal, and anticipates that this will allow council to better work with communities on small scale projects which can get held up by council’s current ad hoc approach and lack of support for these proposals

iv.        recommends that council ensure that “proactive” partnerships can include ‘grass roots’ community groups by ensuring that the tendering process is not overly restrictive or weighted against community involvement

v.         notes the policy’s investment principles favour investing in “existing spaces in preference to building new facilities” and request that these principles adequately consider communities where, often, there are no existing facilities to invest in, which may lead to some areas being unfairly penalised if the focus is on existing spaces

vi.        supports the approach to valuing “in kind” investment, and notes that it is important that communities be empowered to provide labour to construct facilities and that this labour receive a nominal value to adequately reflect the contribution of the community to the project

vii.       requests that the Environment and Community Committee now shift focus into activating the policy as soon as possible, by:

a)         developing practices and guidelines,

b)        adequately resourcing the work of community partnerships, and,

c)         ensuring there is sufficient funding set aside to adequately cover the depreciation and consequential operational expenses needed to maintain and renew these facilities

so that council can start to enter into partnerships with the community and deliver as many community outcomes as soon as a possible

viii)   requests that council staff provide an update as soon as practicable on the appointment of the proposed lead relationship brokers and how communities can initiate the conversations with them to partner with council.

Review of the Code of Conduct

 

Resolution number HB/2018/179

MOVED by Member D Cooper, seconded by Member C Watson:  

That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:

a)      provides the following feedback on the draft Code of Conduct in Attachment A of the agenda report:

i)        Supports the overall approach towards a more concise, positive and principle-based code of conduct

Principles

ii)      recommends the bullet point under the respect principle to be amended to require elected members to maintain confidentiality of "confidential" information rather than the confidentiality of all information

Complaints Process

iii)     recommends that the complaints process includes the Chief Executive undertaking an initial assessment to determine whether the complainant has attempted to resolve the complaint and the complaint fits the criteria of a breach before referring to an Investigator 

Conflict of Interest

iv)     does not agree that a lack of action by the elected member on internal audits advice should be automatically or usually deemed to be a material breach.  The advice may later be determined by the Code of Conduct Commissioner to be wrong 

v)            Recommends that section 4.11 should be reworded to read  “…referred to the Conduct Commissioner for investigation as a potential material breach”

vi)     requests the policy to clarify and confirm that campaigning on a topic before being elected is not considered as predetermination unless it is a central focus of their campaign

vii)          agrees that interests in an agenda item be declared at the start of the meeting but that it remains up to the member to determine whether and to what extent they participate in the item in the case of a non-financial interest if it is merely an interest in common with the public they can participate fully, otherwise in the case of a non-financial interest they have an option to remain part of the meeting quorum and to have it recorded that they neither spoke nor voted on the item

Access to information protocol

viii)         welcomes the proposed new process for providing elected members with useful information more quickly, particularly where it can be provided to a member in a timely manner before a meeting where the information is relevant to a decision that is to be made there  

ix)     recommends that the new process also includes Council Controlled Organisations’ information

 Media protocols

x)      do not agree with the media protocols restrictions which could be viewed as limitation on freedom of speech

xi)     recommends that the media protocols are revised to allow any elected member to speak to media on subject matter they have been involved with, and decision making.
