Agenda item 6.1 document number A2427582, pages 16 - 20 refers

Resolution  2019/39

Moved:       Chairperson Mike Edmonds

Seconded:  Cr John Vujcich

The board amends the strategic statement updated at the February 2019 meeting by adding the following words:

 

Electoral Representation

 

The 2010 Representation Review resulted in Okaihau being split across two subdivisions despite a number of objections. It is the boards position that this decision was counterintuitive and appeared to be a simple exercise of balancing numbers despite the provisions of the Local Electoral Act (2001) S19JA(2). The board supports the realignment of subdivisions (in the 2022 Representation Review) so that Okaihau again sits within one subdivision.

 

Funding Priorities

 

The board will give higher priority to funding requests:

-  for events that are identified within community plans

-  for projects that are identified within community plans

-  for seed funding (including initial design, business case, feasibility study) for projects that the board considers have a good chance of success and that will generate a significant multiple of the funding amount

-  and that up to $2500 be allocated for a Christmas parade (or similar function) in each of Rawene and Kaikohe.

 

Council Procurement

 

The board supports any change to the procurement practices of the FNDC such that the following local factors be taken into account:

-  social benefit

-  economic benefit

-  environmental benefit

-  maintenance of community capacity (in whatever form)
