Review of decision-making policy

 

Resolution number GBI/2020/122

MOVED by Chairperson I Fordham, seconded by Member P O'Shea:  

That the Aotea / Great Barrier Local Board:

a)      provide the following feedback on the allocations and delegations in the decision-making policy:

i)       in accordance with the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 and the 2016 Governance Framework Review, confirm the principle of subsidiarity of decision-making within the Auckland Council governance model where decisions are made at the most local level possible and that any decisions that can be allocated or delegated to local boards occur.

ii)     procurement is a big component of our local economy and the service we deliver, and suggest local boards have more oversight and decision-making for procurement for the major service delivery contracts in their local areas.

iii)    we are working on our Aotea / Great Barrier Area Plan and suggest consideration of local board decision-making for Area Plans so we can approve our local area plan.

iv)    a big proportion of our local and regional budget goes towards environmental initiatives and suggest that the regional environmental programmes and environment grants funding are tailored to local needs, similar to the events programmes, for transparency and alignment purposes.

b)      endorse the proposed approach to the long-term plan consultation.
