to be the nominated local board members as transport representatives within
their subdivision for the 2019-2022 electoral term:
• Lance Gedge
for the Wairoa sub-division
• Matthew
Murphy for the Waiuku sub-division
• Andrew Baker
for the Pukekohe sub-division
c) appointed Transport
Representatives are authorised by the board to:
i. prepare and provide local board area views on

and that are unable to be presented to the whole board via weekly workshops
ii. receive staff notifications of areas that may involve
reputational, financial, performance or political risk.
d) note that appointed
transport representatives are expected to consult with other board members
where practical, ensure board members are updated on views provided at the
next available opportunity.
e) request that the Local Board
Chair is copied in on all requests.
v) Te
Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland's Climate Action Framework -
Proposed changes
The
Franklin Local Board:
a) support the changes
to the draft Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate
Action Framework including:
i.
introducing three pillars
representing the core drivers for climate action (i.e. a place-based
approach; emissions reduction; preparing for climate change)
ii.
moving from eleven key moves
to eight priorities
iii.
changing the title from Te
Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Action Framework to
Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan.
b) note that isolation
from services and employment centres can prevent immediate adoption of
alternative, more environmentally friendly choices. For example, road design
should continue to consider car ownership in greenfield development and rural
areas to recognise that public transport is not available and that key
employers, such as NZ Steel in Waiuku, have a disproportionate importance to
small settlements.
vi) Local
Board feedback to the Independent Council-Controlled Organisations Review
The
Franklin Local Board:
a) note that the timing of the public
engagement of the Council Controlled Organisations (CCO) Review precludes the
Franklin Local board receiving and reflecting on current local views in
providing local feedback; however, the board is comfortable providing
feedback based on its own experiences
b) agree that the Council Controlled
Organisations are an effective and efficient model for delivering services to
Council and Aucklanders
c) agree that the CCO decision-making model
enables sufficient political oversight, public transparency and
accountability; however note that culture and CCO priorities influence the
degree to which a CCO delivers sufficiently to local outcomes
d) agree that it is appropriate that CCOs
operate and present themselves as distinct from Auckland Council externally,
if they are sufficiently and demonstrably connected with Auckland Council and
each other internally and strategically.
e) identify the following opportunities to
foster greater internal connection between Auckland Council, including local
boards and the community:
i. CCO staff and board members should
receive governance inductions to create a shared understanding of the Auckland
governance model and to generate a greater respect for respective roles and
responsibilities.
ii. CCOs should actively engage in the development of
local strategic plans and reference local strategic priorities in the
development of the statement of intent to facilitate regular, relevant and
joined-up reporting and engagement.
f) propose that Auckland Council
should facilitate local board input into the development and approval of CCO
Statement of Intent (SOIs), including providing analysis of SOIs in terms of
local outcomes and facilitating formal feedback, and in doing so provide a
platform for ongoing engagement and delivery partnerships. The board suggests
that a stronger role in prescribing the priorities and key performance
indicators of CCOs could be modelled on Central Government and State-Owned
Enterprise accountability processes. This will strengthen Auckland Council
and CCO collaboration and address the perception that CCOs do not adequately
respond to Council and community priorities.
g) note that, with the exception of Panuku
Development Auckland, CCOs do not take a place-based approach to delivery,
which creates a disconnect with local and community aspirations. The
independent panel has an opportunity to consider and clarify the mandate of
CCOs in the place-shaping space and emphasise that every CCO should factor
this into their projects, in collaboration with the relevant local board.
h) provide the following feedback on the
approach to roles and responsibilities, accountability and engagement with
council and community by CCOs:
I. Auckland Transport
• does not sufficiently
and consistently enable local boards to represent the views of their
community through their consultation and engagement initiatives
• does not recognize local
priorities and outcomes in the planning and delivery of projects and
initiatives. Consideration could be given to Auckland Council taking on some
AT responsibilities less suited to a roading authority eg design and
specifications of roads in green field areas, and footpaths and trails in
rural areas
• does not proactively
participate in integrated delivery initiatives at the local level
• culture does not
demonstrate a respect for the role of local boards i.e. as having governance
responsibility at the local level. AT Board Relationship Managers are not
well supported by organisational culture and are therefore largely
ineffective in identifying and promoting partnership approaches to delivery
II.
Auckland Tourism Events and Economic Development
• beyond event
delivery, displays limited support for opportunities to develop or deliver
business and business sector (including tourism) development initiatives
outside the city centre
• are making local
engagement improvements following the initiation of the local board
engagement plan and appointment of a local board liaison resource
• note that this resource
will need to be supported by organizational culture, be adequately positioned
within the organization to be successful
• has enabled Local
Board and ATEED board engagement which is applauded and supported.
III.
Panuku Development Auckland
• are successful in
engaging with local communities in the development of projects and activities
• are accessible and
approachable at both a staff and board level and try to understand the
strategic and operation constraints of the local environment
• could do some work to
improve relationships with council departments and other CCOs who from time
to time demonstrate they are not engaged in Panuku activities.
• has enabled local board
and ATEED board engagement which is applauded and supported.
IV.
Regional Facilities Auckland (RFA)
• noting that while the
Franklin Local Board area does not have any regional facilities, Regional
Facilities regularly and adequately engages with the local board through
their Elected Member Relationship Manager.
• could work more
proactively to create opportunities to service local communities, including
understanding what the local priorities are and how RFA resources could
support delivery.
• has enabled local board and
RFA board engagement, however note that while this annual social event is
enjoyable, it does not effectively establish and maintain governor-to-governor
relationships.
V.
Watercare
• are successful in
engaging with local communities in the development of projects and activities
• are accessible and
approachable at both a staff and board level and try to understand the local
environment, noting that part of their operation is based in the Franklin
Local Board area
• have successfully
demonstrated an ability to work across Auckland and CCOs in their support for
the Hūnua Trail (with Community Services and ATEED), and through the
development of the Clevedon Water Reticulation Targeted Rate initiative (with
Healthy Waters).
vii) Public feedback
on proposed new Food Safety Information Bylaw 2020
The
Franklin Local Board:
a)

to a road type (Suffix) at the new subdivision within Stage 6 of the

used), within the subdivision at the Auranga Development (Stage 6) in Drury
