An amendment by addition was moved by Deputy Chairperson M Watson, seconded by Member C Robertson That the Albert-Eden Local Board: b) do not support the $7 million in cuts across Auckland Council to accommodate the shortfall in Major Events and request that council consider reintroducing the Accommodation Providers Targeted Rate to cover the shortfall until the Bed Night Levy can be introduced. c) request Eke Panuku’s urban regeneration function remains the purview of a Council-controlled Organisation (CCO) with a strong Statement of Intent, given the long time horizons of major urban regeneration projects and the need to ensure consistency in planning and implementation so that work can be undertaken effectively with commercial partners. d) support high-level transport policy and strategy remaining a responsibility of Auckland Council, but note that planning at the implementation level should remain the purview of Auckland Transport (AT), given the long time horizons of major transport projects and the benefits of a model which enables the appointment of directors with relevant expertise, but note the need for continued work to improve alignment between strategy and implementation. e) request that Watercare is left out of the shared services model, noting that it is a large and specialised organisation with differing needs from other organisations in the council family. f) request that bach fees are not increased as it provides accessible and affordable holidays for Aucklanders and suggest a lottery system runs in peak periods. g) request that Council-controlled Organisation (CCO) reform is publicly consulted on as part of the Annual Plan process noting that public engagement is an appropriate way to listen to, and consider, the community views on the proposed changes, and that there may be flow-on changes in level of service resulting from these matters. h) request further information on the scope of the new Regional Community Safety Team. A division was called for, voting on which was as follows:
The amendment was declared EQUAL. Chairperson K Smith exercised her casting vote against, so the amendment was Lost. |
