Resolution
number FR/2024/45
MOVED by Member M Bell JP, seconded by Member S Druyven:
That
the Franklin Local Board:
a)
whakarite / provide the following
input into the current review of the allocation table, recording the allocation
of decision-making responsibility for non-regulatory activities:
i)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that
there are no substantive changes proposed to the allocation of
decision-making for non-regulatory activities
ii)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that
work is underway to consider whether, from a policy perspective, local boards
should be able to make both the acquisition and disposal decision as part of
land exchanges and this will be considered through the next annual review of
the allocation table or through the local board delegation protocols, which
are due to be reviewed later this year
iii)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that
the updated process for decision-making of stormwater activities will be
reviewed with local boards in six months’ time and any issues arising
will be considered through the next annual review of the allocation table or
through the local board delegation protocols, which are due to be reviewed
later this year
iv)
tono / request that the Governing
Body direct staff to investigate further whether, from a policy perspective,
local boards should be able to make decisions on stormwater activities, or
aspects of them
v) subject
to receiving further advice from the review on the allocation of stormwater
activities, agree a preliminary position that stormwater activities on open
space that is governed by local boards should be allocated to local boards
vi) reiterate
to staff and the Governing Body of the board’s continued advocacy that
local boards should be allocated greater decision making on:
A.
the location, acquisition and
development (eg playgrounds) of open space in local board
areas
B.
non-service properties within local
board areas
C. the management and funding of ‘regional’
parks located in local board areas
vii)
recommend that the
Allocation of Decision making for non-regulatory activities be updated to
explicitly reference the role and responsibilities of local board versus the
Governing Body with respect to local pools i.e. that the Local Board is
responsible for setting and funding local service levels irrespective of the
delivery model (internally managed or managed via contract), and regardless
of a pool’s place in the network. Regional minimum service levels for
pools services should be prescribed to provide a baseline that is equitable
across the region. The board notes that staff are proposing significant
changes to Pool service delivery without adequate local direction in terms of
service levels. A correction to the allocation table is needed urgently to
ensure that the network approach also delivers equitable outcomes and where
possible service improvements in line with local priorities.
