3          Declaration of Interest

 

Members are reminded of the need to be vigilant to stand aside from decision making when a conflict arises between their role as a member and any private or other external interest they might have.

The Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members (the Code) requires elected members to fully acquaint themselves with, and strictly adhere to, the provisions of Auckland Council’s Conflicts of Interest Policy.  The policy covers two classes of conflict of interest:

i)       A financial conflict of interest, which is one where a decision or act of the local board could reasonably give rise to an expectation of financial gain or loss to an elected member; and

ii)      A non-financial conflict of interest, which does not have a direct personal financial component.  It may arise, for example, from a personal relationship, or involvement with a non-profit organisation, or from conduct that indicates prejudice or predetermination.

The Office of the Auditor General has produced guidelines to help elected members understand the requirements of the Local Authority (Member’s Interest) Act 1968.  The guidelines discuss both types of conflicts in more detail, and provide elected members with practical examples and advice around when they may (or may not) have a conflict of interest.

Copies of both the Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members and the Office of the Auditor General guidelines are available for inspection by members upon request. 

Any questions relating to the Code or the guidelines may be directed to the Local Area Manager in the first instance.

 

4          Confirmation of Minutes

 

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)         confirm the ordinary minutes of its meeting, held on Wednesday, 18 November 2020, as true and correct.

 

5          Leave of Absence

 

At the close of the agenda no requests for leave of absence had been received.

 

6          Acknowledgements

 

At the close of the agenda no requests for acknowledgements had been received.

 

7          Petitions

 

At the close of the agenda no requests to present petitions had been received.

 

8          Deputations

 

Standing Order 7.7 provides for deputations. Those applying for deputations are required to give seven working days notice of subject matter and applications are approved by the Chairperson of the Kaipātiki Local Board. This means that details relating to deputations can be included in the published agenda. Total speaking time per deputation is ten minutes or as resolved by the meeting.

 

At the close of the agenda no requests for deputations had been received.

 

9          Public Forum

 

A period of time (approximately 30 minutes) is set aside for members of the public to address the meeting on matters within its delegated authority. A maximum of 3 minutes per item is allowed, following which there may be questions from members.

 

At the close of the agenda no requests for public forum had been received.

 

10        Extraordinary Business

 

Section 46A(7) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (as amended) states:

 

“An item that is not on the agenda for a meeting may be dealt with at that meeting if-

 

(a)        The local authority by resolution so decides; and

 

(b)        The presiding member explains at the meeting, at a time when it is open to the public,-

 

(i)         The reason why the item is not on the agenda; and

 

(ii)        The reason why the discussion of the item cannot be delayed until a subsequent meeting.”

 

Section 46A(7A) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (as amended) states:

 

“Where an item is not on the agenda for a meeting,-

 

(a)        That item may be discussed at that meeting if-

 

(i)         That item is a minor matter relating to the general business of the local authority; and

 

(ii)        the presiding member explains at the beginning of the meeting, at a time when it is open to the public, that the item will be discussed at the meeting; but

 

(b)        no resolution, decision or recommendation may be made in respect of that item except to refer that item to a subsequent meeting of the local authority for further discussion.”

Review of decision-making policy

File No.: CP2020/17482

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek input into the review of decision-making policy, particularly the allocation of decision-making responsibility for non-regulatory activities and endorse the proposed approach to the long-term plan consultation draft.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Local boards and the Governing Body obtain their decision-making responsibilities from three sources: statute, delegation and allocation. The ‘Decision-making responsibilities of Auckland Council’s Governing Body and local boards’ policy provides an overview of these sources and the types of decisions involved.

3.       For non-regulatory activities, the Governing Body is required by legislation to allocate decision-making responsibilities to either itself or local boards (these are known as allocations). It is also required to publish these in the long-term plan and annual plans of the council. The current allocations are contained in the decision-policy in the current Annual Plan 2020/2021 (Attachment A).

4.       The allocations have been reviewed a few times in the past decade and currently reflect a consideration by the Governing Body on what is a fair division of responsibilities and in line with legislative principles.

5.       In recent workshops with local boards, many indicated that the current allocations are acceptable. However, some also noted that they have concerns about the application and interpretation of some elements.

6.       The council is committed to keeping the allocations and delegations under active review. Staff are recommending that a review be undertaken by the Joint Governance Working Party (JGWP) before the adoption of the long-term plan. The JGWP currently monitors the progress of the Waiheke pilot and is well placed to make recommendations on how the findings of the pilot impact the existing responsibilities that are allocated and delegated to local boards. The JGWP is also well placed to examine and recommend improvements to other issues within the current decision-making framework that are raised by local boards.

7.       This report seeks feedback on:

·      the current allocations (decision-making for non-regulatory activities)

·      existing delegations or aspects of regional decisions where a local board may want to request a delegation

·      proposed approach to the long-term plan consultation – to use the current policy with minor amendments.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)      give feedback on the allocations and delegations in the decision-making policy.

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

 

Horopaki

Context

8.       Both the Governing Body and local boards are responsible and democratically accountable for the decision-making of Auckland Council. Whether responsibility for a particular decision rests with the Governing Body or one or more local boards depends on the nature of the decision.

9.       There are three main sources of decision-making responsibilities:

·      statutory decision-making responsibilities

·      delegation of decision-making responsibilities

·      allocation of decision-making for non-regulatory activities.

Statutory decision-making responsibilities

10.     Statutory decision-making responsibilities come from legislation and are outlined in the decision-making for context and clarity only. These are outside the scope of the review discussed in this report.

Delegation of decision-making responsibilities

11.     Delegations are the transfer of responsibility, function or power from one decision-maker to another. The decision-maker who delegates the responsibility is responsible and accountable for the exercise of the delegated responsibility.

12.     The decision-making policy records the delegations from the Governing Body to local boards. The Governing Body and local boards can also be delegated decision-making responsibilities from Auckland Transport but there are no delegations from AT in place at this time.

13.     The existing delegations from the Governing Body to local boards include things such as:

·      giving input into notification decisions for resource consent applications

·      making, amending and revoking liquor licensing applications under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012

·      certain powers under the Reserves Act 1977 for local reserves including declaring, classifying, and reclassifying a reserve and proposing the revocation of reserve status in order to manage the land under the Local Government Act 2002.

Allocation of decision-making for non-regulatory activities

14.     The Governing Body is required by legislation to allocate decision-making responsibility for the non-regulatory activities of Auckland Council to either itself or local boards. The allocation must be in accordance with principles contained in section 17(2) of the Act which provide as follows:

a)      decision-making responsibility for a non-regulatory activity of the Auckland Council should be exercised by its local boards unless paragraph (b) applies:

b)      decision-making responsibility for a non-regulatory activity of the Auckland Council should be exercised by its Governing Body if the nature of the activity is such that decision-making on an Auckland-wide basis will better promote the well-being of the communities across Auckland because:

i)       the impact of the decision will extend beyond a single local board area, or

ii)       effective decision-making will require alignment or integration with other decisions that are the responsibility of the Governing Body, or

iii)      the benefits of a consistent or coordinated approach across Auckland will outweigh the benefits of reflecting the diverse needs and preferences of the communities within each local board area.

15.     The presumption of local decision-making (unless there is a case for decision-making on a regional basis) means local boards are responsible and accountable for a large part of council’s non-regulatory activities. These activities include parks, community facilities, libraries, community development programmes and events.

Previous reviews

16.     The current allocations have been reviewed and refined over the years. A comprehensive review in 2015 concluded that the allocations were working well and that there was a growing understanding and increasing sophistication of how to use them.

17.     The review that was done as part of the Governance Framework Review (GFR) found that the current allocation recommended an area that local boards could be further empowered in. This led to the delegation of responsibility for service property optimisation decisions to local boards.

18.     The delegation to local boards for service property optimisation decisions is currently reflected in the decision-making policy as a non-regulatory activity that is allocated and not delegated. A recent review by the legal team has concluded that this requires correction. This is discussed further below.

19.     In March 2018, the Local Government Commission recommended that the council keeps the delegations and allocations of functions to local boards under active review and to consider whether to roll out the Waiheke pilot (or aspects of it) elsewhere before completion, if it is achieving the desired results. The council accepted this recommendation and undertook to conduct a review every three years. The opportunity to update the policy every year as part of the annual plan is still available.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Review 2021

20.     Staff recommend that the JGWP undertakes a review of the decision-making policy in early 2021.

21.     The JGWP meets bi-monthly to consider governance matters of mutual interest to the Governing Body and local boards. The JGWP is charged with monitoring the implementation of the Governance Framework Review recommendations and is receiving regular reports about the Waiheke pilot. The JGWP does not have delegated decision-making powers but reports its findings to local boards and the Governing Body for final decisions.

Draft decision-making policy for consultation

22.     For purposes of the long-term plan public consultation, council is advised to include drafts of all long-term policies for context.

23.     Staff propose that the current policy (Attachment A) be included in the consultation materials for context and to reserve any substantive amendments until the review is complete.

24.     The consultation draft of the decision-making policy can include non-substantive edits including:

·      updates to Schedule 1 (Regional Parks) to ensure accuracy e.g. inserting macrons, correcting an erroneous deposited plan number, including Motukorea/Browns Island in the list of regional parks

·      updates to reflect any delegations that have been given and are yet to be recorded in the policy

·      technical correction – there is one correction that has been identified (further below).

25.     If already approved, the Governing Body may also wish to include the proposal to allocate Rodney drainage districts to the Governing Body. This responsibility is currently allocated to the Rodney Local Board. This matter is the subject of a separate report to the Governing Body.

Technical correction: Disposal delegation

26.     In 2017, local boards were given a delegation from the Governing Body to make disposal decisions. This delegation was made as part of a series of agreements and actions that the Governing Body committed to following the Governance Framework Review (resolution number GB/2017/118). The delegation is limited to the use of the ‘optimisation of service assets’ policy.

27.     The optimisation of service assets policy, which sets out the purpose and principles for optimisation of underperforming or underutilised local service property, was adopted by the Finance and Performance Committee in March 2015 (resolution number FIN/2015/16). A key element is that sale proceeds from underperforming service property are locally reinvested to advance approved projects or activities on a cost neutral basis. The delegation to local boards was designed to enable local boards to make the final decisions on local asset disposal and reinvestment, providing all policy criteria have been met.

28.     In the current decision-making policy, this responsibility is shown in the allocations. Staff have considered that this is an error that needs correcting. This responsibility is derived from statutory responsibilities that rest with the Governing Body and, therefore, is not available for allocation but it can be delegated, which has indeed been done in Governing Body resolution number GB/2017/118.

29.     Decisions to keep or dispose of council assets directly impact on the council’s ‘capacity to provide, or ensure the provision of, services and facilities (including local activities)’ as well as the ability to manage revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, investments and general financial dealings prudently. These are responsibilities of the Governing Body that provides useful context for the delegation to local boards.

30.     Disposal decisions, if made under delegated authority, must be consistent with the long-term plan in the sense that they are expressly or implicitly authorised by that plan. This does not mean that every purchase or disposal decision must be specifically identified in the long-term plan. An example of this is agreeing to use the optimisation of service assets policy to finance or contribute towards a strategic outcome identified in the long-term plan.

Climate impact statement

31.     This report relates to a policy and does not have any immediate or long-term climate impacts.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

32.     Council departments will be involved in the review of the policy and had been invited to give feedback on issues that may not be working well.

33.     Feedback received to date from some departments reinforces the recommendation for guidance notes to aid interpretation of the allocations in the decision-making policy.

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

Local impacts and local board views

34.     It is not anticipated that matters arising from this report will have a significant local impact.

35.     Local boards’ views and preferences are being sought through this report. Staff have gathered some views informally in workshop discussions.

36.     The following list of issues have been compiled from the informal discussions with individual local boards. Local boards may wish to consider the following elements in their feedback relating to the review:

·      integrate findings and progressions from the Governance Framework Review

·      provide clarity on the decision-making policy through guidance notes and other supporting material

·      agree a streamlined dispute process which can be used by local boards when there is a dispute over the allocation and/or its interpretation

·      consider whether the allocations require further clarity on those responsibilities delegated by the Governing Body to council-controlled organisations, noting that the purpose of the policy is to ensure Aucklanders know who is responsible for what

·      consider and provide resolution or guidance on issues for which there may be a conflict or disagreement between staff and elected member interpretation. These issues include but are not limited to:

o   placemaking

o   procurement

o   filming on parks (linked to permitting)

o   land newly acquired – responsibility over purpose and location

o   street environment and town centre activity

o   approach to regional vs. multi-board vs. local

o   stormwater decisions

o   naming of parks not allocated to the local board but that are located in a local board’s area

·      consider whether decision-making responsibilities over some allocation elements can be shared instead of adopting a binary approach to them, e.g. local drainage reserves

·      consider if more delegations can be given to local boards, including but not limited to:

o   area plans

o   other areas of Governing Body - the perception here is that the scale of responsibilities that sit with Governing Body is broad and not possible to ensure political oversight and monitoring over everything

·      consider role of mana whenua and the Independent Māori Statutory Board – are there decision-making responsibilities that should be delegated to them?

·      consider areas where local boards want to see more support and empowerment, including:

o   optimisation of service property

o   local economic development.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

37.     There are no decisions being sought in this report that will have a specific impact on Māori.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

38.     There are no financial implications directly arising from the information contained in this report.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

39.     This report seeks feedback to inform the review of a policy that will not be adopted until June 2021. As such, there is very little risk associated with not providing feedback on time.

40.     Local board views, if any, will be shared with the Governing Body in mid-December and then sent to the JGWP for their review in early 2021.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

41.     Feedback from local boards will be presented to the Governing Body in mid-December 2020.

42.     At its mid-December 2020 meeting, the Governing Body will be:

·      deciding the approach to the long-term plan consultation; the draft decision-making policy agreed at this meeting will be reviewed in early 2021

·      confirming the referral to the JGWP to undertake a review, consider and respond to issues to be raised by local boards.

43.     Staff will be preparing guidance notes to aid the interpretation of the decision-making policy. The JGWP will oversee this task.

10-year Budget 2021-2031 consultation

File No.: CP2020/18114

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To approve local consultation content as part of the 10-year Budget 2021-2031 process, along with a local engagement event.

2.       To provide input on regional consultation content for the 10-year Budget 2021-2031.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

3.       For each financial year, Auckland Council must have a local board agreement that is agreed between the Governing Body and the local board, for each local board area. Local board agreements set out local board priorities and the local activities to be provided, and together the 21 local board agreements form a section of either the Long-term Plan (referred to as the 10-year Budget) or Annual Budget for that year. 

4.       Auckland Council will be consulting on both local and regional content as part of the 10-year Budget 2021-2031 consultation. This is planned to take place from 15 February – 15 March 2021.

5.       This report seeks approval from the local board for local consultation content. It also seeks approval of a Have Your Say event to be held in the local board area to give Aucklanders an opportunity to provide face-to-face feedback during the consultation period.

6.       This report also seeks the views of the local board on priority regional topics to be included in the 10-year Budget 2021-2031 consultation. Potential topics include climate change, infrastructure needed for housing and growth, community investment and funding. 

7.       The Governing Body and local boards will approve regional and local items respectively for consultation by 9 December 2020. The regional and local consultation items will then be incorporated into the 10-year Budget consultation document and supporting information, which is planned to be adopted by the Governing Body on 10 February 2021.

Horopaki

Context

8.       For each financial year, Auckland Council must have a local board agreement that is agreed between the Governing Body and the local board for each local board area.

9.       Local board agreements set out (among other things) how the council will, in the year to which the agreement relates, reflect the priorities and preferences in the local board’s plan in respect of the local activities to be provided in the local board area.

10.     Content relating to each local board agreement must be included in the 10-year Budget 2021-2031 consultation document.

11.     Public consultation on the budget is planned to take place from 15 February – 15 March 2021.

12.     Aucklanders will be able to provide feedback during the consultation process through a variety of channels which include face-to-face (for spoken and New Zealand sign language interaction), written and social media. A contingency plan will be developed for the event of a change to COVID-19 alert levels.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

13.     Local boards held workshops during October and November 2020 to determine their proposed priorities for their 2021/2022 local board agreement. Each local board is now requested to approve its local consultation document and supporting information content for consultation, as attached as Attachment A and B.

14.     Should changes be required to the local consultation content during the document production, they will be provided to the local board chair for approval.

15.     Any new local Business Improvement District (BID) targeted rates must also be consulted on before they can be implemented. Local boards are therefore also requested to approve any new proposals for consultation.

16.     Aucklanders who wish to have their views on the proposed content of the local board agreement 2021/2022 and 10-year Budget 2021-2031 considered by Auckland Council should be provided a reasonable opportunity to present those views in a manner and format that is appropriate to the preferences and needs of those persons.

17.     The special consultative procedure requires the council to provide an opportunity for Aucklanders to present their views to the council in a manner that enables “spoken (or New Zealand sign language) interaction” between the person and the council’s decision-makers, or their official delegates. The recommended Have Your Say events, along with the recommended delegation, provide for this spoken interaction.

18.     The Have Your Say event recommended to be held in the Kaipātiki Local Board area is:

i)        Hearing style event, 6pm Wednesday 24 February 2021, Kaipātiki Local Board office at 90 Bentley Avenue, Glenfield.

There will also be online information available and the opportunity to submit written or digital feedback. Note that the proposed date for the Have Your Say event will be checked with Ward Councillor/s to ensure they are able to attend.

19.     The consultation period does not begin for a couple of months. If circumstances change between now and the consultation period requiring any changes to the approved Have Your Say event these will be provided to the local board chair for approval. A contingency plan will be developed for any changes to COVID-19 alert levels. 

Regional priorities for the 10-year Budget 2021-2031

20.     The Finance and Performance Committee is considering potential regional topics for the 10-year Budget 2021-2031 consultation, including:

·    Climate change: the actions that Auckland Council will take to respond to climate change and how to pay for them

·    Housing and growth infrastructure: where to upgrade or extend infrastructure to support new housing development across Auckland

·    Community investment: how to manage our aging community facilities and invest in new services or facilities

·    Funding: considering the impacts of COVID-19 on the council’s budget, the right levels of capital and operating spending and how to finance this.  

21.     The Mayoral proposal, which outlines the Mayor’s priorities for consultation not available at the time this agenda was produced. The proposal will be tabled at the meeting and a copy will be available on the council website as a minutes attachment.

22.     The local board is asked to provide feedback on the Mayoral proposal and potential regional topics for the 10-year Budget consultation. The feedback from the local boards will be collated and provided to the Governing Body to consider, when approving regional items for consultation on 9 December 2020.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

23.     The decision to consult is procedural in nature and the small scale of the Have Your Say events mean any climate change impacts will be negligible. These decisions are unlikely to result in any identifiable changes to greenhouse gas emissions. The effects of climate change will not impact the decisions.

24.     However, where practicable, events proposed will be in locations accessible by public transport, to reduce car travel but also increase the opportunities for attendance.  

25.     Some of the proposed initiatives or projects included in the consultation content may have climate change impacts. The climate change impacts of any initiatives or projects Auckland Council chooses to progress with as a result of this consultation, will be assessed as part of the relevant reporting requirements. 

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

26.     The 10-year Budget 2021-2031 is an Auckland Council group document and will include budgets at a consolidated group level.

27.     Consultation items and updates to budgets to reflect decisions and new information may include items from across the group. This will be reflected in the report on regional consultation items going the Governing Body on 9 December 2020.

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

Local impacts and local board views

28.     Local board chairs have been involved in the development of the regional topics for consultation by attending Finance and Performance Committee workshops.

Māori impact statement

31.     Many local board decisions are of importance to and impact on Māori. The local board agreement and the 10-year Budget are important tools that enable and can demonstrate the council’s responsiveness to Māori. The local board plan that was adopted in October 2020 forms the basis for local priorities.

32.     The approach to Māori engagement for the 10-year Budget 2021-2031 will be finalised once consultation topics are confirmed, including development of bespoke materials.

33.     There is a need to continue to build local board relationships with iwi and the wider Māori community. Ongoing conversations will assist the local board and Māori to understand each other’s priorities and issues.

The local board must approve its local consultation content by 4 December 2020 in order for it to be formatted and reviewed in time to be incorporated into the 10-year Budget 2021-2031 consultation document and supporting information.
