Auckland Council's Quarterly Performance Report: Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board for quarter three 2018/2019

File No.: CP2019/07874

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board with an integrated quarterly performance report for quarter three, 1 January – 31 March 2019.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       This report includes financial performance, progress against work programmes, key challenges the board should be aware of and any risks to delivery against the 2018/2019 work programme. This is a retrospective report intended to provide a transparent overview and reflect the progress of how the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board work programme is tracking at the end of quarter three 2018/2019.

3.       The work programme is produced annually and aligns with the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Plan outcomes.

4.       The key activity updates from this quarter are:

·          due to poor weather the Onehunga Christmas Lights event was cancelled. Part of the event budget, $3500, was unspent and reallocated to the local community grants activity at the local board’s February 2019 business meeting (resolution: MT/2019/7)

·          the local board allocated $99,534 through its first strategic partnerships grant round

·          the Ready to Rent project has been renamed ‘Rent Smart’ and a pilot workshop series in Oranga has begun

·          the activities, Experiential Learning and Action for Water in Schools, and Pest Education and Management in Schools were delayed due to difficulty identifying a suitable contractor. Auckland Zoo has been confirmed as the contractor for these projects and will deliver these programmes in quarter four

·          the activity, Industry Pollution Prevention Programme – revisits, was approved by the local board at the February 2019 business meeting (resolution MT/2019/7). The contractor will be delivering this activity in quarter four.

5.       All operating departments with agreed work programmes have provided a quarterly update against their work programme delivery. Most activities are reported with a status of green (on track), amber (some risk or issues, which are being managed) or grey (cancelled, deferred or merged).

6.       The financial performance report compared to budget 2018/2019 is attached. There are some points for the local board to note:

·          the overall operating result is three per cent below budget due to higher operating revenue and operating expenditure

·          revenue is above budget due to venue hire, community leases and miscellaneous income from libraries

·          operating expenditure is three per cent above budget mainly in asset-based services

·          locally driven initiatives (LDI) expenditure is below budget due to slower than expected delivery of the local board’s projects

·          capital expenditure is above budget by 181 per cent, mainly in local asset renewals and growth funded projects.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a)      receive the performance report for the financial quarter ending 31 March 2019.

Graph 3: work programme activity by activity status and department

Key activity updates from quarter three

13.     Local events programme – Onehunga Christmas Lights event: due to poor weather this event was cancelled. Part of the funding, $3500, for the cancelled event was unspent and reallocated to the activity, local community grants at the local board’s February 2019 business meeting (resolution: MT/2019/7).

14.     Local civic events: the local board funded the restoration and unveiling of plaques at Waikaraka Park Cemetery for two graves where Belgium recipients of the Queen Elizabeth medal lay to rest.

15.     Strategic partnerships: the local board allocated $99,534 through its first strategic partnerships grant round. For the youth initiatives projects, Flipping East have developed and are testing three prototypes that engage youth in civics.

16.     Oranga Community Centre – programme delivery: in partnership with Te Wananga o Aotearoa and Te Ataarangi, two te reo Māori classes are now being delivered at the centre. Also initiated in quarter three was a youth action programme focussing on youth employment opportunities for the Oranga community’s youth. As a result of this programme one participant has obtained paid employment.

17.     Panmure Community Hall – programme delivery: in collaboration with Rākau Tautoko, a programme called ‘Phenomenal Young Women’ has been opened. Phenomenal Young Women is led by a local Tāmaki young woman and responds to the need for more safe spaces for young women to connect in Tāmaki.

18.     Ready to Rent: this project has been renamed ‘Rent Smart’ and a pilot workshop series in Oranga has begun. The initial workshops were delivered by the Auckland District Health Board, Beacon Pathway and Christians Against Poverty. They focussed on maintaining a warm, dry and healthy home, tenants’ rights and responsibilities, and money management.  The local board have funded the Onehunga Citizens Advice Bureau to organise and deliver an ongoing Rent Smart Information Hub at Oranga Community Centre. Further workshops are being organised to be delivered by local groups in the Riverside, Panmure and Glen Innes communities. No Six, a digital media group that interacts with youth, has also been engaged to develop a youth Rent Smart prototype.

19.     Te Oro – programme delivery: in March Te Oro hosted the Mana Wāhine International Women’s Day Event where over 100 women participated in a series of dance workshops and conversations. Te Oro also delivered Seniors DANCE and Pacific Dance, two programmes providing dance classes to individuals of the age 60 and above.

20.     Experiential Learning and Action for Water in Schools: there was a delay in delivery due to difficulty identifying a suitable contractor. Auckland Zoo has been confirmed as the contractor for this project and will deliver the programme in quarter four.

21.     Pest Education and Management for Schools: there was a delay in delivery due to difficulty identifying a suitable contractor. Auckland Zoo has been confirmed as the contractor for this project and will deliver the programme in quarter four.

22.     Manukau Harbour Forum: this activity is at risk of not being delivered due to the governance and management review not starting until quarter four. Arrangements for releasing governance staff resource to undertake the review are being finalised and the review will be undertaken and completed in quarter four.

23.     Industry Pollution Prevention Programme – revisits: this activity was approved by the local board at the February 2019 business meeting (resolution MT/2019/7). The contractor will be delivering this activity in quarter four.

24.     Support customer and community connection and celebrate cultural diversity and local places, people and heritage: the Panmure Library alongside the Panmure Community Hall and the Arts, Community and Events team organised the Tāmaki expo. This event enabled over thirty Panmure-based community providers to connect with the over 700 attendees.

25.     Glen Innes Pool and Leisure Centre operations: the pool and leisure centre experienced a 16 per cent increase in visits when measured against the same period last year (December – February). This increase is most likely a result of the 36 per cent increase in aquatic visits that is due to water safety programmes that were delivered for Tāmaki College and Te Kura Kaupapa Māori School.

26.     Lagoon Pool and Leisure Centre operations: the pool and leisure centre experienced a nearly 20 per cent increase in visits when measured against the same period last year (December – February). This increase is most likely a result of the 29 per cent increase in aquatic visits.

27.     Lagoon Stadium: the stadium experienced a 30 per cent increase in visits when measured against the same period last year (December – February) and customer satisfaction scores were up 10 per cent.

28.     Onehunga War Memorial Pool and Leisure Centre operations: the pool and leisure centre had its annual maintenance of the indoor pool and extended maintenance of the spa, sauna and steam room, closing these parts of the facility. This led to a 14 per cent decrease in visits when measured against the same period last year (December – February), yet memberships remained high.

29.     The following Community Facilities projects have been completed in quarter three:

·          Riverside Community Centre – renew signage and fence

·          Upgrade fire system and electrical switchboard – community centres and halls

·          Upgrade fire system and electricals.

Activities on hold

30.     The following work programme activities have been identified by operating departments as on hold:

·          Stone Cottage – renew roof and joinery: this project is currently on hold due to seismic implications. The seismic team will undertake an investigation and recommend a way forward for this project.

 

Changes to the local board work programme

Deferred activities

31.       These activities are deferred from the 18/19 work programme:

·          Mt Wellington War Memorial Park – provide new dual toilet facility: this project is deferred due to ongoing discussions with the club utilising this park. Staff will recommend a way forward for this project once discussions have completed.

·          Jellicoe Park, Quadrant Road Onehunga – Lease to Onehunga Fencible and Historical Society Incorporated: this lease is deferred due to the property being on the seismic study programme. Further progress will be made once the Asset Management Intelligence Support Team have completed their study.

·          Jordan Park, 17A Cameron Street Onehunga – Lease to Tongan Health Society Incorporated: this lease is deferred as a feasibility study on the future use of this site is required. Panuku will undertake the feasibility study and present their findings to the local board.

·          Panmure Basin, 100A Ireland Road Panmure – Lease to Panmure Sailing Club Incorporated: this lease is deferred as Land Information New Zealand are in the process of transferring this land to The Department of Conservation to vest in Auckland Council in trust as a classified recreation reserve. This process will take several months to complete and unlikely to be completed in the 2018/2019 Financial Year.

·          Panmure Community Hall, 7-13 Pilkington Road Panmure – Lease to RNZ Plunket Society: this lease is deferred as there are issues regarding the internal building works. Further progress will be made once these issues have been resolved.

·          Ruapotaka Reserve, 106 Line Road Glen Innes – Lease to Ruapotaka Marae Society Incorporated: this lease is deferred as other components of the wider Ruapotaka Reserve and Ruapotaka Marae developments are yet to be completed. Further progress will be made once these other components have been completed.

·          Hamlin Park, 39 Hamlin Road Mt Wellington – Lease to Mt Wellington Cricket Club Incorporated: this lease is deferred due to ongoing discussions with the club utilising this park. Staff will recommend a way forward for this lease once discussions have completed.

 

Cancelled activities

32.     These activities are cancelled:

·          Community awareness and community led riparian restoration: this project is cancelled to mitigate significant risks due to procurement issues. The local board approved staff recommendation to reallocate this projects budget of $20,000 toward an Industry Pollution Prevention Programme that is being delivered in quarters three and four (Resolution: MT2019/7).

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

33.     When developing the work programmes council group impacts and views are presented to the boards. As this is an information only report there are no further impacts identified.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

34.     This report informs the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board of the performance for the quarter ending 31 March 2019.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

35.     The local board remains committed to integrating and supporting work that contributes to outcomes for Māori. This includes enhancing partnerships and collaborative ways of working with mana whenua and mataawaka.

36.     In June 2018, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board signed a relationship agreement with Ngāti Pāoa.

37.     Some of the activities in the local board’s 2018/2019 work programme (Attachment A) have specific impact on the wider Māori community, this includes:

·          continued collaboration with Ruapotaka Marae and their marae redevelopment

·          a committee to govern Te Oro that includes mana whenua and community representation. Te Oro is a multi-purpose arts and cultural centre aimed at empowering youth in the local community. In quarter three, all 17 programmes that were delivered at Te Oro sought to achieve outcomes for Māori

·          Oranga Community Centre initiated two Te Reo Māori classes in partnership with Te Wananga o Aotearoa and Te Ataarangi

·          supporting the 312 Hub, a youth-led art gallery and creative studio conceptualised on Treaty Principles and embedded with Mana Moana Oceania methodologies. In December 2018, the board funded the 312 Hub to deliver youth initiatives in the Maungakiekie area

·          all three libraries in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area are committed to ‘celebrating Te Ao Māori and strengthening responsiveness to Māori’. Each of the libraries celebrated Waitangi Day with themed displays and delivered Wriggle and Rhyme, rhymes and stories in Te Reo Māori.

Financial implications

38.     This report is for information only and therefore there are no financial implications associated with this report.

Financial Performance

39.     Revenue from community centres, libraries and community leases is $77,000 above budget.

40.     Expenditure is above budget by $391,000. This is mainly in asset-based services for scheduled and response repairs in park services, facility contracts, community centres and libraries.

41.     In LDI Opex funded projects, some of the deliveries are slower than expected. This year’s new initiatives such as the Integrated Arts, Community and Events activity and Ready to rent are now in progress.

42.     Capital spend is ahead of budget in local asset renewals and growth funded projects, such as the Tāmaki Estuary Coastal Walkway and general park development in Panmure Basin, Onehunga Bay Reserve and Taniwha Reserve.

43.     The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Operating Performance Financial Summary report is Attachment B.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

44.     While the risk of non-delivery of the entire work programme is rare, the likelihood for risk relating to individual activities does vary. Capital projects for instance, are susceptible to more risk as on-time and on-budget delivery is dependent on weather conditions, approvals (e.g. building consents) and is susceptible to market conditions.

45.     Information about any significant risks and how they are being managed and/or mitigated is addressed in the ‘Activities with significant issues’ section.

Next steps

46.     The local board will receive the next performance update for quarter four following the end of the financial year (June 2019).

Context

6.       The local board allocates grants to groups and organisations delivering projects, activities and services that benefit Aucklanders and contribute to the vision of being a world class city.

7.       The Auckland Council Community Grants Policy supports each local board to adopt a grants programme.

8.       The local board grants programme sets out:

·        local board priorities

·        lower priorities for funding

·        exclusions

·        grant types, the number of grant rounds and when these will open and close

·        any additional accountability requirements.

9.       The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board adopted the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Community Grants Programme 2018/2019 on 24 April 2018. The document sets application guidelines for community contestable grants. 

10.     The community grant programmes have been extensively advertised through the council grants webpage, local board webpages, local board e-newsletters, Facebook pages, council publications, radio, and community networks.

11.     The local board has set a total community grants budget of $120,000 for the 2018/2019 financial year. A total of $82,135 has been allocated in previous grant rounds. This leaves a total of $37,865 to be allocated to the remaining one local grant round in 2018/2019.

14.     The grants programme has no identified impacts on council-controlled organisations and therefore their views are not required.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

15.     Local boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board community grants. The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board is required to fund, part-fund or decline these grant applications against the local board priorities identified in the local board grant programme.

16.     The board is requested to note that section 48 of the Community Grants Policy states; ‘we will also provide feedback to unsuccessful grant applicants about why they have been declined, so they will know what they can do to increase their chances of success next time’.

17.     A summary of each application received through Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Grants, Round Three 2018/2019 and multi-board applications is provided in Attachment B and Attachment C.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

18.     The local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to improving Māori wellbeing by providing grants to individuals and groups who deliver positive outcomes for Māori. Auckland Council’s Māori Responsiveness Unit has provided input and support towards the development of the community grant processes.

19.     Twenty applicants applying to local grant round three, has indicated that their project targets Māori or Māori outcomes.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

20.     The allocation of grants to community groups is within the adopted Long-term Plan 2018-2028 and local board agreements.

21.     The local board has set a total community grants budget of $120,000 for the 2018/2019 financial year. A total of $82,135 has been allocated in previous grant rounds. This leaves a total of $37,865 to be allocated to the remaining one local grant round in 2018/2019.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Business Improvement District targeted rates for Financial Year 2019/2020

File No.: CP2019/06116

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board’s recommendation to the Governing Body to strike the BID (Business Improvement District) targeted rates for the Glen Innes Business Association, Onehunga Business Association and Panmure Business Association for the 2019/2020 financial year.   

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Auckland Council’s Business Improvement District (BID) programme supports business associations by collecting a targeted rate from commercial properties within a defined geographic area.  The funds from the targeted rate are then provided by way of a grant to the relevant BID.

3.       The BIDs are incorporated societies that are independent of council.  For the council to be confident that the funds provided to the BIDs are being used appropriately, council requires the BIDs to comply with the Business Improvement District Policy 2016 (Hōtaka ā-Rohe Whakapiki Pakihi), known as the BID Policy. 

4.       The BID Policy was developed to encourage improved governance of BID committees and staff to improve financial management, programme delivery and transparency to their members. 

5.       This report indicates that the Glen Innes, Onehunga and Panmure business associations comply with the BID Policy. Information presented in this report is based on documents submitted by these business associations to council’s BID programme team. 

6.       Staff recommend that as the BIDs have met the requirements of the BID Policy, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board should recommend to the Governing Body to strike the targeted rates sought by the BIDs.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a)      recommends to the Governing Body to strike the targeted rates for inclusion in the Annual Budget 2019/2020 for the following Business Improvement District (BID) programmes:

·        $166,000 for Glen Innes Business Association;

·        $405,000 for Onehunga Business Association; and

·        $443,895 for Panmure Business Association.

 

 

Horopaki

Context

7.       The council adopted the Business Improvement District Policy (Hōtaka ā-Rohe Whakapiki Pakihi) in 2016.  This policy outlines the principles behind the council’s BID programme; creates the process for establishing, expanding, and disestablishing BIDs; prescribes operating standards and guidelines; and sets accountability requirements.  Attachment A provides an overview of key elements of the BID programme.

8.       BID targeted rates are applied to all commercially-rated properties within a designated area around a town centre or commercial precinct. Those funds are transferred to the business association operating the BID programme.

9.       There are currently 48 BID programmes throughout Auckland which represent more than 25,000 businesses and a combined $17.7 million in targeted rates investment.  Attachment B contains current and proposed targeted rates budgets for all BIDs.

10.     Under the Auckland Council shared governance arrangements, local boards are allocated several decision-making responsibilities in relation to BIDs. One of these is to annually recommend BID targeted rates to the Governing Body.  The local board should recommend the striking of the targeted rate if it is satisfied that the BID is substantially complying with the BID Policy.

11.     Recommendations arising from this report are put into effect with the Governing Body’s approval of the Annual Budget 2019/2020 and striking of the targeted rate.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

12.     The council’s BID programme team monitors compliance with the BID Policy on an ongoing basis and provides governance advice to BID-operating business associations as needed or requested.

13.     As BID programmes are operated by private independent societies, their programmes and services are provided according to their members’ stated priorities.  In recognition of their independent corporate status, the policy does not prescribe standards for programme effectiveness.  Staff recommendations are based only on the policy’s express requirements.

Compliance with the Bid Policy

14.     The Bid Policy is the means for council to ensure accountability for BID targeted rate funding and to encourage good governance. This is achieved by requiring regular reporting by BID-operating business associations specifically by providing to council the following documents, and staying in touch with their local board(s) at least once a year:

·   current strategic plan – evidence of achievable medium- to long-term opportunities;

·   audited accounts – assurance that the BID-operating business association is managing its members’ BID targeted rates funds responsibly;

·   annual report on the year just completed – evidence that programmes are addressing priority issues that benefit BID targeted ratepayers;

·   business plan for the coming year – detailed one-year programme, based on the strategic plan, to be achieved and resourced;

·   indicative budget for the following year – Auckland Council’s annual budget requires targeted rates to be identified a year in advance to inform the annual budget process which sets all rates;

·   board charter – establishes guidelines for effective board governance and positive relationships between the association and its members;

·   annual accountability agreement – certification that these requirements have been met;

·   programme agreement – a good faith agreement between each BID-operating business association and council that sets basic parameters of the council-business association relationship;

 

 

15.     The BID Policy requires each business association to ratify the BID grant amount/targeted rate and budget for the following financial year. The Glen Innes, Onehunga and Panmure business associations presented for members’ approval, their 2019/2020 BID grant amount/targeted rate and budget at their 2018 annual general meetings (AGM). Their 2018 AGM minutes show resolutions supporting this action and requesting the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board to recommend to the Governing Body the striking of the BID targeted rates for 2019/2020.

16.     The Glen Innes, Onehunga and Panmure business associations comply with the BID Policy and staff recommend that the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board recommends to the Governing Body the striking of the targeted rate relevant to these business associations. 

17.     The recommendation of this report is supported by evidence of compliance with the BID Policy by the Glen Innes, Onehunga and Panmure business associations as per the 2017/2018 compliance reports in Attachments C, D and E.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

18.       The proposed decision does not impact other parts of the council group.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

19.     Recommending that the Governing Body strikes the targeted rates for the Glen Innes, Onehunga and Panmure business associations means that the BID programmes will continue to be funded from targeted rates on commercial properties in their districts and provide services in accordance with their members’ priorities as stated in their strategic plans.

20.     By continuing these services and programmes, the Glen Innes, Onehunga and Panmure business associations should better serve their town centres/precincts and members, and support business growth.

21.     The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board approved a similar recommendation to the BID programmes last year (resolution number MT/2018/72), as did the other 17 local boards that have BID programmes operating in their areas.

22.     Several local boards provide additional funding to local business associations, however, accountability for that funding is set by funding agreements between the local board and the business association.  Those requirements are apart from the requirements of the BID Policy and are not covered in this report.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

23.     BIDs work for the benefits of all members, including Māori businesses.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

24.     There are no financial implications for the local board. Targeted rates for BID-operating business associations are raised directly from commercial ratepayers in the district and used by the business association for improvements within that district.  The council’s financial role is only to collect the BID targeted rates and pass them directly to the business association on a quarterly basis.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

25.     There are reputational risks to the council if ratepayer funds are misused, but this is rare.  Otherwise, there are no direct financial risks to the local board or council that could result from this recommendation to approve the BID targeted rates.

26.     The requirements of the BID Policy are intended to help minimise the potential for BIDs to misuse funds, by requiring each BID to plan for the intended use of funds, report on its activities to its members, and to have its accounts audited. 

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

27.     The recommendation to strike the BID targeted rates will be reported to the Governing Body as part of its approval of the Annual Budget 2019/2020.

Remuneration Authority - policy on child care allowances

File No.: CP2019/07626

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide feedback on the Remuneration Authority’s proposed policy on child care allowances.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Remuneration Authority has previously received submissions from members in other councils stating that if childcare were a claimable expense, then serving in local government might be a more realistic option for parents who are currently deterred from considering the role because of the costs of childcare. Some jurisdictions in other countries provide such allowances.

3.       The authority has distributed its proposed policy in order to get feedback from councils and individual elected members.  The proposed policy is in Attachment A. The authority has asked for feedback by 31 May 2019 and intends to include the provision in its determination that comes into force on 1 July 2019.

4.       At present, the authority determines allowances for vehicle mileage, travel time and communications. Each individual council considers its approach to the expenses and allowances and writes its own policies within the upper limits set by the authority.  If the authority determines that childcare allowances are permissible the council could include, within the framework established by the authority, specific rules in the council’s expenses policy.

5.       A draft submission on the proposed policy has been prepared and is attached as Attachment B. Elected members can provide individual comments to the Remuneration Authority if they wish, by 31 May 2019.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a)      endorse the draft submission on the Remuneration Authority’s proposed policy on childcare allowances.

 

 

Horopaki

Context

6.       LGNZ has formed a Young Elected Members (YEM) committee with members representing LGNZ Zones. These are elected members who are under the age of 40 years.  The YEM network has raised the matter of childcare costs with the Remuneration Authority.  They cite examples such as a member of a smaller council who is 24 years of age and on a salary of $18,707.  Another, struggling to pay for childcare on her councillor’s salary of $20,634 opted instead to bring her child to meetings[1]

7.       The group makes the point that other costs of attending to council duties can be claimed, such as mileage and communications, but not the cost of childcare.  The group is broadly interested in developing the ability of younger elected members. 

8.       The Remuneration Authority has researched childcare allowances and is now inviting feedback on its draft policy, which includes the eligibility and payment conditions which will be included in the authority’s formal determination.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

9.       The Remuneration Authority has recognised the need to address childcare costs if those with families are not to be deterred from standing for local government office.

10.     Salaries paid to Auckland local board members and governing body members are generally higher than in smaller council districts in New Zealand, where it is likely elected members particularly struggle to meet childcare costs from their salaries.  Nevertheless, the provision of the allowance may encourage greater diversity in those standing for election in Auckland.

11.     The cost to the council and the ratepayer is reasonable in terms of the total budget for elected members’ remuneration but is a significant help for the member who has to arrange childcare.  The policy places a cap of $6,000 per annum for any member.  LGNZ statistics show that approximately 6 per cent of elected members are 40 years of age or below[2].  On that basis, the cost to Auckland Council, if 6 per cent of members (10 members) claimed the allowance, would be $60,000.

12.     The Remuneration Authority indicates it is in discussion with the Inland Revenue Department about how the allowance will be treated for tax purposes (as income or as an expense reimbursement).  It is possible it will be taxed at source (that is by the council) prior to payment.

13.     Payment of the allowance under the proposed conditions requires evidence of the expense incurred.  This is supported.

14.     The allowance cannot be paid to family members. This is supported.

15.     The proposed conditions state that a local authority may pay the childcare allowance as a contribution towards expenses incurred by the member for childcare provided while the member is engaged on local authority business.  This wording may be too wide.  Consider a member who has regularly arranged childcare, irrespective of undertaking council duties, deciding to spend two hours preparing for the next council meeting while the children happen to be in childcare. The member would be “engaged on local authority business” and could claim the childcare cost of those two hours.

16.     Staff researched conditions around payment by other councils in other jurisdictions.  One council simply paid the full cost of child care.  Another specified the meetings and events that could be claimed. Staff believe the intent of the provision is to make a contribution toward the cost of child care where that is necessary in order for the member to undertake council duties, such as attend meetings.  The wording should indicate more clearly that the payment is for childcare costs that are necessary in order for the member to undertake council duties and are not simply childcare costs that are incurred at the same time the member is undertaking council duties and would have been incurred anyway, if the member was not attending to council duties.

17.     Other conditions are:

(i)    the child is under 14 years

(ii)   payment cannot be greater than $15 per hour and cannot be greater than the actual expense

(iii)  childcare cannot be for more than 8 hours in any 24 hour period.

These are supported.

18.     Staff recommend that the council supports the proposed policy with the comment, outlined above, that the purpose should more clearly reflect that the expense is a necessary expense in order for the member to attend to duties.

19.     Staff also note that the council itself will decide its own provisions to include in its expenses policy, within the framework set by the authority.

20.     Members can provide individual comments to the Remuneration Authority if they wish, by 31 May 2019.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

21.     The Remuneration Authority’s policy applies only to elected members and does not impact the group.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

22.     The policy affects all elected members, including local board members.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

23.     The Remuneration Authority’s policy may assist those in the Māori community who are potential candidates for election but are deterred by the costs of childcare.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

24.     There will be financial implications.  As noted in the body of the report, the additional cost is likely to be less than $60,000 and will impact the cost centre for elected members’ remuneration.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

25.     There is a small risk of the provision being abused (false claims submitted).  The requirement for evidence of the amount paid will mitigate this risk.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

26.     This report is being presented to local boards for their feedback.  It is also being circulated to Governing Body members for their feedback.  The draft submission will be amended if there is a clear majority position in favour of an amendment.

e)      delegate authority through the Chief Executive to a manager responsible for bylaws to appoint staff to receive public feedback at ‘Have Your Say’ events

f)       delegate authority through the Chief Executive to a manager responsible for bylaws to make any amendments to the statement of proposal in Attachment A to correct errors, omissions or to reflect decisions made by the Regulatory Committee or the Governing Body

g)      request through the Chief Executive that the manager responsible for local board services include this report and attachments on the waste bylaw statement of proposal on the agenda of all local boards for their information
