Resolution
number WTM/2025/132
MOVED by Member A
Matson, seconded by Member R Northey:
That
the Waitematā Local Board:
a)
tuku / provide the following feedback for consideration during
the initial stages of the review of the delegation protocols:
i)
request the delegation protocols are refreshed
to be consistent to the existing council group structure, while maintain
alignment to the council’s decision-making allocation policy.
ii)
suggest that the delegation protocols
are updated more frequently to ensure they stay aligned and consistent with
any changes to council departments.
iii)
note that some local board support
model has shifted away from a ‘portfolio holder’ approach as a
result the delegation protocols will need to be updated to reflect both the
portfolio approach and a workshop-based approach.
iv)
monthly reporting by
portfolio holders, in a members report or other format, to ensure full board
visibility and awareness
v)
propose new sections in the
delegation protocols which reflect new initiatives in local board work
programmes that are undertaken by council departments, these include (but are
not limited to):
A)
Auckland Emergency Management
B)
Policy – Service and Asset
Planning
C)
Healthy Waters – Flood and
Resilience.
vi)
suggest the following amendments and
changes to the delegation protocols:
A)
a new stand-alone section for
Community Leases, to reflect the important role they have to support local
board and community outcomes
B)
‘Parks’ be broadened to
‘Parks, Open Spaces and Sports Fields’ to reflect the range of
assets local boards’ have decision-making over
C)
‘Local Street Environment and
Town Centres’ be updated to focus on town centre upgrades and
improvements, including the city centre
vii)
remove redundant references to
Waterfront Auckland and Eke Panuku. They need to be updated as do those referring
to Auckland Transport now more authority has been allocated to local Boards.
viii)
the reference to submissions to
Government needs to be expanded to include to Parliament and to state
agencies and SOEs.
ix)
The delegation for disposal of land
is now with local boards so this should also be changed.
b)
tāpae / nominate Chair Genevieve Sage and Member Richard Northey
to be part of the working group to explore issues for the Delegation
Protocols review in September.
