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 Democracy 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:           A3001212

Author:                    Kay Meekings, Property Legalisaton Officer

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

 

Purpose of the Report

To seek the Community Board’s support to Far North District Council leasing the Rawene Campus to the community organisation Te Puna o Kupenuku under Section 61 Reserves Act 1977. The campus is sited on the local purpose (community facilities) reserve at 26 Nimmo Street East, Rawene. See Attachment 1.

Executive Summary

·        The reserve comprises of sections 154 -156 and 159 – 166 Town of Rawene.

·        The reserve is classified for educational purposes by NZ Gazette 1998-page 2905.

·        The proposed lease is consistent with the reserve purpose.

·        Section 61 provides for an administering body to lease a local purpose reserve to an incorporated society.

·        Te Puna o Kupenuku (50021761) is an incorporated society.

·        Council delegations require a supporting Council resolution for a lease not included in the LTP.

 

Recommendation

That the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board recommends the Far North District Council make the following resolution:

Pursuant to the Reserves Act 1977 the Far North District Council consents to a new lease over the local purpose (educational facilities) reserve (Sections 154 - 156 and 159 - 166 Town of Rawene Block XIV Mangamuka Survey District) to Te Puna o Kupenuku subject to the following conditions:

i)       Rental - $1 plus GST

ii)      Term of lease - 3 years

iii)     Right of Renewal - 3 years

iv)     Rent Review - On renewal

v)      Authorise the General Manager Infrastructure and Assets Management to negotiate and agree the final terms and conditions of the lease.

 

 

1) Background

This local purpose reserve was originally part of the Rawene Domain (recreation reserve). It has undergone changes to its purpose over the years having been classified as a local purpose (site for nursery) reserve in January 1981 and a reclassification in August 1998 to local purpose (educational facilities) reserve.

The reserve is vested in Council and in accordance with Section 61 Reserves Act 1977. Council has the power to lease the reserve for its stated purpose requiring neither public consultation nor the Minister’s consent. The term of the proposed lease is three years with one renewal term of three years i.e.3 plus 3.

The Rawene Campus site has not been occupied since Northland Polytechnic withdrew from the premises in 2019. Council as the administering body and lessor of the vacated site became the owners of all assets remaining on site.

The Hokianga Community Education Trust along with community groups within the wider Hokianga area have amalgamated to form Te Puna o Kupenuku to represent the education and training needs of the people of the Hokianga.  The Council accepted Rawene Community Plan records community education as a key action for three out of the five goals set out in the Community Plan.

Since its inception Te Puna o Kupenuku have been in negotiation with Council to use the Rawene Campus for community education. On 13 November 2020 a Memorandum of Understanding was put in place to formalise the relationship between both parties and outline the intent to work together for the next three years. See Attachment 3.

In the past months Council has engaged professionals to assess the site to progress bringing the facility up to a standard where it can be used by the public in a safe and sound manner. Some parts of the campus will remain substandard until funding becomes available to upgrade them. These parts will not be able to be used by Te Puna o Kupenuku. The Lease document will reflect this situation recording those parts that are out of bounds due to health and safety concerns.

 

2) Discussion and Options

Rental:

Councils Charges and Fees Policy sets the following costs for providing a new lease to a community group   •   Rental: $108 annually •   Processing Charge: $434.00

It is understood during a meeting between Council representatives and TPoK, held on Friday 13th December 2019, Rawene Service Centre, Mayor Carter verbally confirmed to Ipu Absolum Council would lease the Campus for a $1.00 per annum rental. A written record has not been located.

Notes from a meeting between Council representatives, Haigh Workman and TPoK, held on 31 August 2020 at the Rawene Campus site, records the rental to be set at $1.00 per annum. See Attachment 2.

Lease Document:

Council Delegation: Chief Executive to Senior Leadership Team: Note 1: Deeds are required to be signed by two (2) Councillors, and long-term leases (longer than 1 year) not included in the LTP require a supporting resolution of Council.

While the final lease will be signed by two Councillors the Resolution seeks authorisation for the General Manager Infrastructure and Assets Management to negotiate and agree the final terms and conditions of the lease. The terms and conditions will reflect the remedial work required to be completed and record the areas unsuitable for use due to public safety concerns.

Option 1: Enter into a lease agreement for land and buildings for a 3-year term with a 3 year right of renewal for $1.00 per annum and no Council administration processing fee being invoiced.

Option 2: Enter into a lease agreement for land and buildings for a 3-year term with a 3 year right of renewal for $100.00 per annum and a Council administration processing fee of $434 being invoiced.

Option 3: The lease is not to be progressed.

Reason for the recommendation

Section 61 The Reserves Act 1977 allows Council as the administering body to lease a local purpose reserve to an incorporated society. The proposed lease is consistent with the reserve purpose.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

Council as the asset owner will need to put in place and finance a maintenance and renewal programme of works to maintain the land and buildings into the future. Council as the asset owner is responsible for the structural integrity of the buildings and the safety of the building users.

Te Puna o Kupenuku as an incorporated society made up of community representatives will have access to alternative funding streams once a lease is in place. Te Puna o Kupenuku are to be responsible for repairing and maintaining the buildings up to the required standard based on the building condition assessment / structural engineers report/s, maintaining the grounds, paying water rates, power bills, internet bills, security services and any other services provided to the campus. Te Puna o Kupenuku have recently received funding form the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board to enable clean up works on the campus and purchase furnishings for the buildings. They have also gained funding from Foundation North formerly known as ASB Community Trust.

Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board Meeting Agenda

9 December 2020

 

Monday 31st August, 1.30 pm.

Meeting with representatives of FNDC, Haigh Workmanand Te Puna o Kupenuku at the Rawene campus, Nimmo Street.

Present: Jackie Davidson, Ipu Absolum, Janine McVeagh, Diana Mules, Janet Nixon, (TPoK) Ken Ross, Cheryl Gavin, Kirsty (FNDC), Kathy and Josué (Haigh Workman)

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the proposed lease agreement and Memorandum of Understanding between FNDC Te Puna o Kupenuku.

Three reports have been done on the campus in the last ten months and these have raised issues of health and safety around parts of the campus and some buildings. In particular, there are drainage works that need to be done. This work can be carried on while some of the buildings are being used.

FNDC will pick up this responsibility.

Most of the buildings are at least useable, though the front of the admin building, the soil cement part, needs to be demolished and the internal staircase is dangerous and should be removed.

The trees surrounding the older classrooms need to be removed or cut back to allow air to flow freely and reduce damp and decay. Te Puna o Kupenuku will make decisions about which trees and whether they will be cut down or cut back.

The construction block on the bottom part of the campus was built on a flood plain and has serious problems with damp. It can be used for tool storage, but not as a classroom.

Otherwise, we can go ahead and lease out rooms as required. Art barn, rat room and potting shed are fine. Upstairs classrooms and dining room are useable.

Council’s responsibilities are:

·    Topographical study

·    CCTV to locate pipes

·    Drainage

 

Cheryl and Ken will

·    Draw up a lease agreement for $1 a year.

·    Exempt from rates.

·    No pan charges for fewer than 5 toilets

·    Draw up a MOU with an addendum about the buildings. This enables us to apply for funding.

·    They will follow through on alarms

·    Get a valuation so we can find out cost of insurance

·    The MOU is to include tikanga/matauranga Maori

·    First draft should be ready in a month or so for us to look at with them.

 

Our responsibilities:

·    Decide which rooms we want to use

·    Decide on trees

·    Let Council know what we as a community can do, eg, grounds, drain digging, minor repairs

6.2         Opononi Toilet Location

File Number:           A3019397

Author:                    Tanya Proctor, Manager – Infrastructure Programme Delivery (Acting)

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

 

Purpose of the Report

To seek approval for the proposed location of a new public toilet and associated increased operational costs in accordance with the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board delegations.

Executive Summary

·        The proposed location of the toilets

·        The increased operational costs for additional toilets

 

Recommendation

That the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board;

a)   approve the location of the toilet and

b)   approve the increased operational expenditure for the servicing of the new toilets.

 

 

1) Background

Council applied and was successful in obtaining Tourism Infrastructure Funding (TIF) for additional toilet facilities at Opononi, Haruru Falls, Waitangi Boat Ramp, Mitimiti and Waitangi Mountain Bike Trail. The need for these facilities is identified with an increase of approximately 10% each year.

These project locations represent the highest priority projects that will add value to the tourism offering of the Far North District and identified as providing the best fit with strategic aims and objectives of the TIF and provides additional facilities required from tourism.

 

The toilets have been requested by the community to cater for tourism and agreed by Council.  The budget was originally in the 18/19 Annual Plan with delays due to engagement, lease agreements and Covid resulting in the funds being carried forward to the current financial year.

In accordance with Council’s Procurement Policy, the work was procured via an open tender process with the contract awarded to a local construction company in November.

Public toilets are within the Community Boards delegations.

 

 

2) Discussion and Options

Engagement with both hapū and the wider community was carried out and several locations were considered.  A meeting in May 2019 at Te Whakarongotai Marae was well attended and the location discussed.

A further public meeting on 12 June 2019 held by the Omapere/Opononi Ratepayer & Residents Association (OORRA).  The location options of the new toilet were voted on and the preferred location is as proposed.

Other locations of adjacent to the Toi Box and below the upper carpark were excluded due to proximity to a notable tree and the loss of the car parks respectively.

The final location is within the water and wastewater area of benefit to connect to both services.  There are no issues with any other legislation or policies and the proposal is of benefit to the community and users.

 

The external finish will be further discussed and agreed to as the building nears completion. 

Reason for the recommendation

The proposed location is within an existing car parking facility which services a café, the I-site and the 4 Square. This location will alleviate the pressure off local businesses who shoulder the burden of the tourist buses and beach goers at present. The site is off the road and in an open space offering both a safe and secure location.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

In accordance with the Annual Plan the budget for this project is $266,000.

 

Estimated Total Annual Cost

Servicing two pan toilet block

$5,100.00

Consumables

$   900.00

Repairs and Maintenance

$2,000.00

Water Supply

$   600.00

$9,100.00

Cleaning is based on the Community and Town Maintenance Contract 05/15/001 specifications, the proposed toilet will be serviced daily.
