TERMS OF REFERENCE
(Excerpt – full terms of reference available as a separate document)
The terms of reference set out the purpose, role and protocols of the Panel.
Panel members abide by the Code of Conduct for members of Auckland Council advisory
panels.
Purpose
As one of council’s engagement mechanisms with diverse communities, the demographic
advisory panels provide advice to the governing body and council staff within the remit of the
Auckland Plan on the following areas:
· Auckland Council’s regional policies, plans and strategies
· Regional and strategic matters including those that Council-Controlled Organisations deal with any matter of particular interest or concern to diverse communities.
Outcomes
The panel’s advice will contribute to improving the outcomes of diverse communities and
social cohesion as set out in the Auckland Plan. The panel will advise through their agreed
strategic agenda and detailed work programme.
Strategic agenda and work programme
The panel must develop a work programme and set a strategic agenda for the term. The
agendas should be focused and integrated across the panels for collaborative input into
shared agendas, particularly on the Auckland Plan, the Long-term Plan and annual plans.
The panel should advise on council’s organisational strategies relevant to diverse
communities.
The governing body and council staff should work with the panel for the development of their
strategic agendas and work programme. An appropriate committee will approve the panel’s
work programme and any subsequent major changes to it.
Submissions
The panel must not make formal submissions to Auckland Council on council strategies,
policies and plans, for example, the annual plan.
In its advisory role to the council, the panel may have input to submissions made by the
council to external organisations but do not make independent submissions, except as
agreed with the council.
This does not prevent individual members being party to submissions outside their role as
panel members.
Review
The form and functioning of the panels may be reviewed prior to or after, the end of the
panel’s term in September 2019.

2. The Youth Advisory Panel members are required to elect co-chairs for the remainder of the term. Attachment A provides a description of the role of the co-chairs.

7. The panel agreed to carry out the election of their co-chairs online prior to their meeting by closed ballot.
8. Panel members have been asked to put their names forward for the co-chair roles by Tuesday 16 February so that staff can make any necessary preparations for the election process. Candidates can be self-nominated or nominated by another member.
9. It is recommended that co-chairs do not also act as co-chair for working groups.
10. The meeting will proceed as follows:
· One of the interim co-chairs will call the meeting to order and deal with apologies and the initial procedural items.
· The first item of substantive business will be the election of the co-chairs, and the interim co-chairs will ask the lead officer to announce the results of the election process, assisted by the governance advisor.
· Once the co-chairs have been confirmed, the meeting will continue with the next item of business.

Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To receive a presentation on Auckland Council’s draft 10-year Budget 2021-2031 (long term plan).
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
3. The 10-year Budget sets out Council’s activities and the community outcomes of the Auckland region, and provides integrated decision-making and co-ordination of the council’s resources as well as a long-term focus for the council’s decisions and activities.
4. Staff will update budgets and prepare a consultation document and supporting information for consultation with Aucklanders. The primary focus of the consultation document will be to provide a fair representation of the matters the council proposes to include in the 10-year Budget, and to clearly set out the key issues of importance for Auckland, along with options for addressing each issue and the implications for rates, debt and levels of service.
5. The Governing Body has agreed the Mayoral Proposal, which is the first step in developing the 10-year budget. When the mayor released the proposal on 1 December 2020, he outlined the issues he thinks are most important for Auckland. These include climate action, transport, infrastructure for growth, community services and facilities, social investment, Māori outcomes, environmental protection, a resilient water supply, and the level of spending and how we pay for it.
6. The Governing Body will meet to adopt the consultation document and supporting material on 18 February 2021 prior to the public consultation process which is planned to run from 22 February to 22 March 2021.
7. All consultation information will be published on the AK Have your Say website - https://akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/ . The panel are encouraged to develop a collective response to the draft plan.
8. All advisory panels have been provisionally allocated a 15-minute slot on the agenda of the 21 April 2021 Finance and Performance Committee to talk to any collective feedback they may have as a panel on the draft budget.
9. Panel members may also wish to provide individual feedback and encourage others from the disability community to participate.
10. Following feedback from the community, local boards and the Governing Body will reconsider the draft budgets and make final decisions in May 2021. The Governing Body will then adopt the final 10-year Budget 2021-2031 in June 2021.
Recommendation/s That the Youth Advisory Panel: a) note the presentation on the 10-year Budget. b) confirm if they would like to present to the Finance and Performance Committee workshop on 21 April 2021 on their feedback.
