That the Franklin Local Board:

 

a)    acknowledge Carol McKenzie-Rex, Franklin resident and Local Board Area Manager for Franklin, Papakura and Manurewa, for her 20 year public service to Manukau City Council and Auckland Council.

 

Carol began at Manukau City Council in 2004 as a community advisor and then Auckland Council upon amalgamation as part of the newly formed Local Board Services department.

 

Carol is highly respected by both elected members and council staff and has made an immense contribution to Franklin in her advisory capacity, including supporting boards to improve working relationships with Mana whenua and understanding of te ao Māori. She has championed the Ara Kōtui programme, the Tuia (Rangatahi mentorship) programme and the use of te reo and tikanga at inauguration ceremonies and business meetings. As a board we could trust that Carol would respect and support board members to champion local outcomes and equity of service from the organisation for our communities with integrity,  patience, empathy and professionalism.
