Memorandum of Understanding between Auckland Council and Hamilton City Council
File No.: CP2020/11290
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To agree a memorandum of understanding with Hamilton City Council in recognition of our common interests as local authorities and to formalise a strategic relationship.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. At a meeting in June 2020 it was agreed that staff draw up a memorandum of understanding between Auckland Council and Hamilton City Council.
3. The purpose of such a document is to reflect areas of common interest and opportunities to work together more closely in these areas.
4. There will be regular meetings with elected members and staff based on an agreed agenda.
5. Nothing in the memorandum of understanding restricts either council’s autonomy, purpose, role and functions under any legislation.
Recommendation/s That the Governing Body: a) agree the memorandum of understanding with Hamilton City Council in Attachment A of the agenda report, dated September 2020 b) agree that the Mayor and Deputy Mayor be Auckland Council’s elected member representatives and that other councillors be invited dependent on the topic and timing of meetings c) delegate the signing of the memorandum of understanding with Hamilton City Council to the Mayor and Chief Executive d) delegate the making of any minor amendments to the memorandum of understanding, as agreed with Hamilton City Council, to the Mayor and Chief Executive |
Horopaki
Context
6. On 12 June 2020, the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Councillor Cooper, Chair Taipari and staff met with Hamilton City Council counterparts, including Mayor Southgate. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss and agree Hamilton City Council allowing Watercare to use some of their allocated water take to provide water to Auckland. This was subsequently agreed and the Waikato Regional Council recently granted approval for this transfer of allocation.
7. In the course of this meeting, there was discussion and agreement on the benefits of the two councils working together more closely and strategically. Staff were asked to draft up a memorandum of understanding to that effect.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
8. The final draft memorandum of understanding is appended at Attachment A. It provides some background to the document and then focusses on three particular elements:
· Formal and informal meetings
· Common interest topics
· Collaborative and open approach
9. The meeting schedule referenced in paragraphs one and two will need to be finalised once the document is signed by both parties but intends regular meetings to be held between elected members and staff.
10. Paragraph three illustrates the type of common issues that could form the basis for discussion and joint work. The list is not comprehensive but, in my view, covers the key areas of interest.
11. Importantly, paragraph 11 makes it clear that nothing in the memorandum of understanding restricts each council’s autonomy, purpose, role and functions under any legislation. The document is based on relationship, good will and a desire to work more closely together on strategic matters.
Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi
Climate impact statement
12. The memorandum of understanding in itself has no impact on climate. However, it does provide opportunities to work together around climate matters and topics like urban growth, ports/freight/logistics, central government engagement and strategic priorities will inevitably include climate within them.
Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
13. Across the organisation and group, at a staff level, we already have relationships with Hamilton City Council. This memorandum of understanding puts some formality around that work.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
14. Local Boards have not been asked for any views or input into this document. Franklin Local Board does meet with a number of Waikato-based councils in the course of their work and the Chair and Deputy Chair are supportive of this memorandum of understanding.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
15. The memorandum of understanding in itself has no direct impact on Māori in either council area. Each council will need to continue to honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi obligations and relationships with iwi/hapu/mātawaka in their jurisdictions.
16. Some of the common interest topics may impact Māori directly but any actions would need to be taken in consultation and partnership with Māori and by the appropriate council.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
17. There will be elected member and staff time associated with giving effect to this memorandum of understanding. No other funding is required.
18. If any action is agreed between the parties that requires specific financial spend, then this will need to be found within existing budgets.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
19. There are no risks associated with the document as it is not a legally binding document and does not restrict either council’s autonomy, purpose, role and functions under any legislation.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
20. Staff will finalise a meeting schedule and, in particular, the timing and agenda for the first meeting of elected members.
