There were no leaves of absence.
Member Robertson requested the board acknowledge the following recipients in the recent Queen's Birthday honours:
Mrs Rhys Bean, Papatoetoe, for services to the community and
Mr Ian Harold Foster, Papatoetoe for services to the community. Both have been recognised for their contributions in serving others and it is fitting that we as a board commend them both.
Member Dewes requested the board acknowledge the following recipients in the recent Queen's Birthday honours:
Professor Aiono Alec Ekeroma for services to health and the Pacific community.
Tofilau Bernadette Pereira for services to the Pacific community, and women.
Ms Lita Foliaki for services to the Pacific community.
The Chair requested the board acknowledge all recipients of the Queen’s Birthday Honours. In particular I would like to acknowledge the following:
Afamasaga Agness Rasmussen QSM – Agnes has
worked for over 4 decades in the education sector. She
was the first person of Pacific heritage to become a Deputy Principal in a New Zealand Secondary School
when she was appointed to that role at Tangaroa College. She has continued to work in education as well
as serve her Pasifika community as a leader in the Catholic church and in the PACIFICA Inc group. She is a founding and lifetime member of PACIFICA Manukau branch.
Tofilau Bernadette Pereira MNZM – Bernadette has been a long time champion for social justice and women’s issues. In particular she has championed the issues of Pasifika women. She is the current New Zealand President of PACIFICA Incorporated – a group that has been advocating for Pasifika women in New Zealand for over 40 years. Bernadette has been referred to by previous Mayor of Auckland Len Brown as the ‘Typhoon’ because of her gusto and passion for social justice issues when she presents to Council. Currently Bernadette is also on the Board of Southseas trust.
The Chair also requested the board acknowledge the passing of ELISAPETA IULIA TANUVASA (nee APULU). Elisapeta served her Samoan community as a church leader alongside her late husband Rev Siaosi Tanuvasa for most of her adult life. She was a stalwart in the Papatoetoe and Samoan community and proud matriarch of her family. Elisapeta took pride of place at every Otara-Papatoetoe Local Board inauguration for her grandson local board member Apulu Reece Autagavaia. Elisapeta often took part in public events and meetings held by our local board, offering sage advice and insights from the perspective of Pasifika seniors. Her effervescent presence will be missed at all of our local board events. Thank you Elisapeta for your life of service.
There were no petitions.

`10.1 |
Extraordinary Business – Arts Community and Events venue partners interim service approach |
|
During the current financial year, the local board has funded community partners to manage activities at arts centres/community centres/galleries/museums/theatres within the local board area. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Governing Body of Auckland Council has not yet approved the Emergency Budget 2020/2021, and local board budgets for the next financial year will not be available before September 2020. To avoid the disruption of services or the closure of facilities, it is appropriate that the local board urgently consider allocation of interim funding to the community partners from its 2020/2021 financial year budget for July, August and September. This is a significant decision that is within the decision-making delegation of the local board. The funding will be allocated in anticipation of the availability of the local board’s budget in September 2020 when the local board approves its work programme. The allocation of the interim funding is required before the next scheduled meeting of the local board in July, to provide certainty to the community partners before the start of the new financial year to continue services to the local community.
