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.

File Number:           A2767143

Author:                    Marlema Baker, Meetings Administrator

Authoriser:             Aisha Huriwai, Team Leader Governance Support

 

Purpose of the Report

To propose the scheduled dates for the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board meetings for the 2020 calendar year.

Executive Summary

·        Consideration of a 6 weekly meeting cycle for Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board or

·        Continuation of Community Board monthly meetings to follow 2019 pattern.

 

Recommendation

That the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board:

a)      adopts the following 6 weekly meeting dates for the 2020 calendar year:

·    March 11, 2020

·    April 22, 2020

·    June 03, 2020

·    July 15, 2020

·    August 26, 2020

·    October 07, 2020

·    November 18, 2020

b)      delegate the authority to amend the schedule of Community Board meetings, to the Chief Executive Officer.

 

1) Background

The Local Government Act (LGA) requires a local authority (Board) to hold meetings that are necessary for the good government of its region or district. The Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (LGOIMA) promotes the open and public transaction of business at meetings. Neither the LGOIMA or the LGA requires a Board to schedule meetings a year in advance it is considered good practise throughout New Zealand.

The Council and Committee meeting schedule for 2020 is not scheduled to be adopted until 19 December 2019 it is understood that their intent is to schedule meetings on a six-weekly cycle.  Council has also historically held its meetings on a Thursday. Council have indicated that moving future Council meetings will be held on either a Tuesday or Wednesday. National and Regional events and meetings tend to occur on Monday, Thursday or Fridays, so avoiding these days enables Far North participation at such events.

2) Discussion and Options

To effectively facilitate good government as required by the LGA, it is recommended that the Community Board meeting schedule align with the schedule of Council and Committee meetings. While that schedule is not intended for adoption by the time of the Board’s meeting, the recommendations contained in this report take the draft Council meeting schedule into consideration to avoid potential conflicts.

Holding a meeting requires a high level of administrative support, and a six weekly cycle will support effective reporting processes, and therefore decision making.

In keeping with the Board’s role to advocate on behalf of its community, and considering the large geographical area of its community, the Board should consider holding meetings throughout the community. Members need to however also be mindful of logistical challenges that can arise from holding meetings at locations that are not Council owned and operated.

Consideration should also be given to enable opportunity for community engagement with the Boards meetings. While the meetings are advertised in newspapers through public notices, and by staff on social media, public attendees to meetings often comment that community members were not aware meetings were being held in their vicinity. FNDC Communications Team can assist with this at the request of the Member, if required. Members play a role in advocating for their constituents to ensure that they are not only aware of the Boards meetings and activities but encouraged to engage.

Ultimately the Board are responsible for setting their own meeting schedule. If the Board are not in a position to be able to advise in advance the preferred locations of their meetings, confirmation will be required at least six weeks prior to meet advertising deadlines and allow staff sufficient time to make arrangements.

Reason for the recommendation

To schedule the formal meetings of the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board for 2020, to ensure all Board 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

There is a cost to the Far North District Council in supporting Community Boards. These costs are covered within operational budgets, set more than a year in advance, and based on prior year expenditure.  Community Boards are ultimately funded through ratepayer income.

·    liaising with representatives of local cemetery committees to ensure compliance with Council policy

·    monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance, in conjunction with staff

·    recommending to Council on decisions related to capital expenditure

Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board Meeting Agenda

4 December 2019

 

6.3         Nomination of Far North Community Board Executive Committee Representative

File Number:           A2767050

Author:                    Marlema Baker, Meetings Administrator

Authoriser:             Aisha Huriwai, Team Leader Governance Support

 

Purpose of the Report

The purpose of the report is to inform Board members of the election to the next Community Board Executive Committee as per the advice received from Local Government New Zealand.

 

Recommendation

That the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board:

a)      nominates Member ____________ as the Zone 1 Representative on the New Zealand Community Boards’ Executive Committee,

b)      nominates Member ____________ as the alternate Zone 1 Representative on the New Zealand Community Boards’ Executive Committee.

 

1) Background

Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) has a Committee called the Community Board Executive Committee. Since mid-2002 the Executive Committee has been working with LGNZ and have in place a Memorandum of Understanding which gives the Executive Committee the status of an advisory committee to the National Council of LGNZ.

The Community Board Executive Committee (CBEC) represents all the community boards in New Zealand. The Committee's role is to advocate in favour of community boards, advise the National Council of LGNZ, and promote best practice amongst community boards.

The CBEC meets four times a year in Wellington. As well as these meetings, each Zone representative runs regular zone forums to update community board members and focus on topical issues.

LGNZ constitution divides New Zealand into seven zones. Each zone appoints a representative to CBEC. The Far North is part of Zone One, along with Whangarei and Kaipara District Councils, and Northland Regional Council. As the other Councils in Zone One don’t have Community Boards the representative will be elected from the Far North.

LGNZ have advised that the preference is for the three Boards to agree to each nominate the same representative. If the Boards do not reach an agreement on who the representative and alternate should be, each Board can nominate a candidate and Council staff will carry out an email ballot. During the ballot, all Board members can confidentially vote for their preferred candidate for the two positions. CBEC’s first meeting will occur as soon as possible, after the results have been announced.

Prior to the 2019 Local Government Election, the membership of the CBEC consisted of:

1.   Mick Lester, CBEC Chair & Zone 3 Representative - Hastings Rural Community Board Member

2.   Bronwyn Hunt, CBEC Zone 1 Representative - Te Hiku Community Board

3.   Allan Sole, CBEC Zone 2 Representative - Waihi Beach Community Board

4.   Christine Papps, CBEC Zone 4 Representative - Otaki Community Board

5.   Alexandra Davids, CBEC Zone 5 Representative - Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board

6.   Ryan W Jones - CBEC Zone 6 Representative - West Harbour Community Board

7.   Tania Tapsell - Rotorua Lakes Community Board

8.   Don Cameron - National Council Representative

2) Discussion and Options

Throughout the country LGNZ have in previous years received the nominations from each board and facilitated an election process. Because the Far North District Council is unique in that it is the only Council in Zone One with Community Boards LGNZ have advised that they are happy for the Far North District Council to coordinate this process and advise them who the representative is.

There will be a Community Board Local Government New Zealand training session held 3 December 2019, which all community board members have been invited to. There will be some time allocated at this session to discuss the role on Community Board Executive Committee and to provide members with an opportunity to signal interest in being the representative.

These reports form part of the agenda for the December Community Board meetings to resolve who the delegate and alternate should be. If consensus is not reached between the 3 boards through formal resolution, an email ballot will be conducted by Democracy Services. Each Board needs to consider who the best Far North Community Board member is to fulfil this role, not necessarily who the best member of their Board is.as it is an appointment of behalf of the 3 Community Boards as a collective.

Reason for the recommendation

To elect a representative and alternate for the Community Board Executive Committee and Zone One.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

There are no financial implications or need for budgetary provision as a result of nominating a member to the Committee. When the member is appointed costs will be incurred to travel to and from meetings. All costs and arrangements are made by LGNZ.

7.1         Road Naming - Lot 1, State Highway 1, Okaihau

File Number:           A2765061

Author:                    Elbie Serfontein, Customer Service Administrator

Authoriser:             Andy Finch, General Manager - Infrastructure and Asset Management

 

Purpose of the Report

To seek approval from the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board to officially name an extension.

Executive Summary

·        Council has received a road naming application to name an extension addressed at Lot 1, State Highway, Okaihau. Community Boards have delegated authority to name extensions off a right-of-way.

 

Recommendation

That the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board, pursuant to Council’s Road Naming and Property Addressing Policy #2125, name an extension, McKenzie Way that is currently addressed at Lot 1, SH 1, Okaihau as per map. (A2764787).

 

1) Background

Tony Worrall from Thomson Survey is requesting on behalf of G. Ireland, D. Middleton and V. Stephens to name the right-of-way extension off James McKenzie Way as McKenzie Way Extension. 

Community Boards have delegated authority to name extensions.  The reason for the name choice is outlined by Tony Worrall.

Reason for application to name extension as according to letter attachment (A2764784).

James McKenzie and his brother emigrated to NZ from Nova Scotia in the later part of the 1800’s.  They originally settled in the Waipu area.  The approved plan shows James McKenzie Way leading into an extension right-of-way.  It is only the last 10 years that the legal road now named James McKenzie Way had a title after a request was made to council.  Approval was obtained from the McKenzie Family to name this.

2) Discussion and Options

Their suggestions are as follows:

·        McKenzie Way Extension

·        Magon Access Road

·        Glens Folly

·        Whakanekeneke Access Road

·        Ireland Access Road

·        Glen Ireland Access Road

·        Te Wheoki Access Road – Suggested by Lake Omapere Trust (John Tiatoa) – to link the naming to a Rangatira from the Waihou Valley and to keep it connected to the Whakanekeneke block.

 

The Infrastructure and Asset Management team has no objections to the seven (7) names suggested above.

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 # 2125 and the Australian/New Zealand Addressing Standards – AS/NZS 4819.2011.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

There are no financial implications to Council relating to the installation of the road name sing blue on white name blade.  The costs for road signage and installation will be met by the applicant(s).
