MOVED by Chairperson P Pirrie, seconded by Member S

That
the Rodney Local Board:
a) receive
consultation feedback on the proposed Rodney Local Board priorities and
activities for 2022/2023
b) receive
consultation feedback on regional topics in the Annual Budget 2022/2023 from
people and organisations based in the Rodney local board area
e) provide
the following input on regional topics in the proposed Annual Budget 2022/2023
to the Governing Body:
Climate Action Targeted Rate
i)
note that 56 per
cent of submitters from the Rodney Local Board area that responded to this
question supported the proposal to introduce a Climate Action Targeted Rate,
while 38 per cent did not support the proposal
ii)
note that the
Kantar Support for Proposed Climate Action Targeted by Local Board Poll 20
April 2022 indicated that 43 per cent of Rodney Local Board residents are not
supportive of the proposed Climate Action Targeted Rate and 31 per cent are
supportive
iii)
note the previous Rodney
Local Board feedback to the Annual Budget 2022/2023 consultation, 1 December
2021, resolution RD/2021/380
Budget Pressures
iv)
note that 50 per
cent of submitters from the Rodney Local Board area that responded to this
question supported the proposal to manage Auckland Council’s on-going
budget pressures while 29 per cent did not support the proposal and 12 per
cent did not know
v)
do not support changing the timing of some capital spending as we
consider there is
insufficient information on the proposal to delay capital investment as a
budget lever and request the opportunity to provide local board views on the
proposal once further information is available
vi)
do not support implementing cost reductions in the form of efficiency
savings and a potential reduction in some services as we consider that there is insufficient information on the
proposal to implement cost reductions in the form of efficiency savings and
potential reduction in services as a budget lever and request the opportunity
to provide local board views on the proposal once further information is
available
vii)
support keeping the
previously agreed general rates increase of 3.5 per cent for 2022/2023
Operating spending prioritisation
viii)
note that 46 per
cent of submitters from the Rodney Local Board area that responded to this
question supported the proposal to prioritise operating spending to help
manage on-going budget pressures while 22 per cent did not support the
proposal and 23 per cent did not know
ix)
note that most
submitters that both supported and did not support the proposal to prioritise
operating spending commented that the proposal was too broad and lacking in
detail
x)
note that there was
insufficient information on the proposal to prioritise operational spending
to help manage ongoing budget pressures and request the opportunity to
provide local board views on the proposal once further information is
available
Waste service standardisation –
pay-as-you-throw vs rates funded
xi)
note that 50 per
cent of submitters from the Rodney Local Board area that responded to this
question did not support the proposal to move to a rates funded system and
preferred a pay-as-you-throw system
xii)
note that 38 per
cent of submitters from the Rodney Local Board area that responded to this
question supported the proposal to move to a rates funded system
Waste service standardisation –
other
xiii)
do not consider
that the feedback from the Rodney Local Board area across all four proposals
for the Waste service standardisation (question 4B, opt-out rules) was
sufficient to form a view
f) provide
the following advocacy initiatives for the Annual Budget 2022/2023 to the
Governing Body:
i) request
the $66.7 million that was allocated for Additional Seal Extensions across
Auckland in the 2018-2028 Regional Land Transport Plan for 2023-2028 be
reinstated in to the current Regional Land Transport Plan
ii) request
the proposed Additional Seal Extensions budget line item of $66.7 million in
the current Regional Land Transport Plan be incorporated into the Committed
and Essential Unsealed Road Improvements Programme Budget Priority line
iii)
request sufficient funding for Auckland Transport to renew and maintain 12
per cent of Auckland’s roading network each year

request continued
funding from the Natural Environment Targeted Rate and the Water Quality
Targeted Rate be allocated to projects within the Rodney Local Board area
v)
request increased
funding and resources for compliance and monitoring across the Rodney Local
Board area.
