Resolution
number AE/2019/39
MOVED by Chairperson P Haynes, seconded by Deputy
Chairperson G Fryer:
That the Albert-Eden Local Board:
a)
note that an amendment to the Land
Transport Rules administered by the Ministry of transport is necessary to
allow enforcement of bylaws restricting parking on berms without signage.

Auckland Transport’s submissions (to which the Local Board was a party)
requesting that enforcement of parking on berm bylaws be placed on the
Ministry’s work programme.

note that it is likely to be some years
before an amendment is made to the Land Transport Rules allow enforcement of

Transport has included this in its work programme.

request that Auckland Transport erects
appropriate signage where there is a clear need to restrict berm parking, as
well as where there is a health and safety issue, given that it is likely to
be some years before any change is made to the Land Transport Rules allowing
enforcement of bylaws restricting parking on berms without signage.

Allocation of funding to Citizens Advice
Bureaux
|
|
|
Resolution
number AE/2019/48
MOVED by Deputy Chairperson G Fryer, seconded by
Chairperson P Haynes:
That the Albert-Eden
Local Board:
a)
provide the following feedback on the new model for allocating
funding to Citizens Advice Bureaux (based on 90 per cent population and 10
per cent deprivation):
|
What are
the local board views on the preferred model for allocating funding to
CABs, including:
1.
The basis of funding allocation,
including the population estimates and deprivation index
2.
Bureau areas served (eg alignment
with local board boundaries)
3.
Other local funding considerations
|
1.
Support the funding model jointly
developed by Auckland Council staff and Auckland Citizens Advice Bureau
Inc, which is based on 90% population data and 10%
population/accessibility. This support is subject to an additional $200,000
funding being provided by Auckland Council to enable the same level of
service to be provided by all the different CAB agencies across the
Auckland region. The local board does not support a funding model which
results in a decrease in the level of service to the Central CAB (CABAC).
2.
Support the areas serviced aligning
with local board boundaries.
3.
Note that population data needs to be
regularly updated as population growth is occurring rapidly in some areas,
and growth is enabled in the Unitary Plan for the central isthmus area.
|
|
4.
Any other local feedback regarding
CABs
|
4.
Request for local boards to be
involved in the upcoming regional network provision plan.
5.
Request that reporting be made
available to Local Boards and staff in the Arts, Community and Events
department to inform locally-driven initiative project planning and
development, particularly the Community Empowerment Unit work programmes.
