1 Apologies and conflicts of Interest
Members need to stand aside from decision-making when a conflict arises between their role as a Member of the Community Board and any private or other external interest they might have. This note is provided as a reminder to Members to review the matters on the agenda and assess and identify where they may have a pecuniary or other conflict of interest, or where there may be a perception of a conflict of interest.
If a Member feels they do have a conflict of interest, they should publicly declare that at the start of the meeting or of the relevant item of business and refrain from participating in the discussion or voting on that item. If a Member thinks they may have a conflict of interest, they can seek advice from the Chief Executive Officer or the Team Leader Governance Support (preferably before the meeting).
It is noted that while members can seek advice the final decision as to whether a conflict exists rests with the member.

6.1 Road Renaming - New Road Name Waa Hoterene Road
File Number: A2264715
Author: Ngawiki Cooper, Support Officer
Authoriser: Andy Finch, General Manager - Infrastructure and Asset Management
Purpose of the Report
To seek approval from the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board to rename a public road, James Road in Matawaia, to Waa Hoterene Road.
Executive Summary
· Council has received a Road Naming application to rename a public road addressed James Road, Matawaia, (Attachment A2264922 and Attachment A2264955). Community Boards have the delegated authority to name public roads.
That the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board, pursuant to Council’s Road Naming and Property Addressing Policy #2125, rename “James Road” to “Waa Hoterene Road”.
|
1) Background
Council has received a Road Renaming application from Dr Richard Shortland Cooper, on behalf of the Huria Whanau Kotahi Trust, requesting to rename a road in Matawaia, currently known as “James Road”, to “Waa Hoterene Road”.
This road was previously named “Waa Hoterene Road”, after Dr Cooper’s father.
After his father died in the 1960’s, his mother remarried and her new husband changed the road name to “James Road”, which is his last name.
The Huria Whanau Kotahi Trust would like it changed back to the original name as “James” has no ties to the whenua.
The Trust has approached representatives of the owners on James Road and have their consent to change to the name back to “Waa Hoterene Road” Please see attachment A2264924.
The suggestions are:
1. Waa Hoterene Road
2. Hoterene Road
3. Peita Waa Hoterene Road
In 2002 a request was presented to the Kawakawa Community Board, requesting that the road name be changed from James Road to Hoterene Road (Attachment A2264965 report). This request was declined (Attachment A2264971 minutes).
2) Discussion and Options
Property owners and iwi / hapu have been consulted and have provided input into the new road name. The road name recommended in this report is not a duplicate of any other road name in the district. The Roading Team have no objections.
The name has local significance as outlined in the attached spreadsheet and meets the criteria set down in the Council’s Road Naming and Property Numbering Policy #2125 and the Australian/New Zealand Addressing Standard - AS/NZS 4819.2011.
Reason for the recommendation
The road names recommended in this report are not duplicates of any other road names in the District, therefore meeting the criteria set down in the Council’s Road Naming and Property Numbering Policy and the Australian/New Zealand Addressing Standard – AS/NZS 4819.2011.
3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision
There are no financial implications to Council. The costs for road signage and installation will be met by the applicant.

Projects
FNDC/BroadSpectrum Ltd will be carrying out major maintenance on York Street and Cass Street in Russell over the nights of 26, 27, 28, 29 November. This will involve removing the current hot mix by milling etc. on the first night, and relaying with new hot mix over the next two subsequent nights, followed by road marking on the fourth night. Although these roads will be open during the day they will be closed to all traffic and parking from 6 p.m.to 6 a.m. the following day on the nights of operation. Because of this major disruption I have been working closely with BSL and FNDC staff to provide as much early warning and notification to affected businesses, residents etc. as possible. This has involved firstly personally visiting these affected parties once I had confirmation of the dates and times and following up with a letter to these same people a week later. The one business not happy with the activity (an accommodation provider) wrote to me and I worked with FNDC communications staff to provide them with a response that ‘calmed troubled waters’.

Issues
- Actions re RFS on Rarere Terrace after ratepayer contacts CEO office
- Still no response re RFS on Mission Road
- Awaiting notification re Winsor Landing. Is FNH proceeding, when will it be completed
- Concerns that we as Community Board are not being provide with all information re some of our deliberations. Various parties, when not in agreement with Boards decisions, appear to undertake “lobbying” to achieve a different result
- Despite staff and elected officials agreeing on resolution of bus stop and parking it again appears that contact by interested parties will place the issue on the table again
- Growing concern as to WHO is controlling various tourism issues in Northland??
- Continued concern in regard to the income from Cruise Ships and the potential damage to the core tourist income sectors e.g. Accommodation, Food.
o Cruise Ships paying well below NZ minimum wage not fair competition for local business
o Will make formal request for information as to income from Cruise Ship industry ( not estimated spent of passangers)
- Bus tours should be reviewed as to income, jobs created and the use of public funded facilities.
- I believe that various parties are making decisions based solely on commercial interests that effect our communities, and we should take a more holistic view of proposals.
Resource Consents
- Only three consents reviewed, the process still appears to be less than effective from the point of view of Community Board review
- Note interest in consent regarding Kerikeri Cruising Club

8.3 Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board Calendar of Meetings for 2019
File Number: A2203771
Author: Kim Hammond, Meetings Administrator
Authoriser: Kate Barnes, Governance Support Team Leader
Purpose of the Report
To propose dates for the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board meetings for the 2019 calendar year.
Executive Summary
· Continuation of 6 weekly meeting cycle
· Community Board frequency to follow the 2018 pattern
· Cycle built around Council reporting cycle
That the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board: a) adopt the following meeting dates for 2019 until the end of the triennium at venues to be determined by the Board: 25 February 2019 8 April 2019 20 May 2019 01 July 2019 12 August 2019 23 September 2019 b) delegate the authority to amend the schedule of Community Board meetings from January 2019 until the end of the triennium to the Chief Executive Officer. |
1) Background
At the end of every year, Council sets the formal meeting calendar for the coming year. The draft meeting calendar for Council / Committee meetings is scheduled to be adopted at the Councils meeting on 13 December 2018. Community boards are responsible for setting their own schedules.
2) Discussion and Options
In 2017 and 2018 the Board’s meetings were scheduled on a 6 weekly cycle. The recommendation is to continue with this cycle. Holding a meeting requires a high level of administrative support, and a 6 weekly cycle also supports effective reporting processes. Report writing staff plan their work predominantly on the basis of the 6 weekly schedule, and deadlines are calculated on this basis.
It is recommended that the scheduling of Board meetings considers these factors.
Reason for the recommendation
To schedule the formal meetings of the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board, for the remainder of the triennium, until October 2019 to ensure all Board and Committee Members are available for relevant meetings, and to ensure timely reporting to Committees and Council for those items referred to them by the Board.
3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision
Current budgets are set based on the current 6 weekly cycle.
