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: A3440064
Author: Kim Hammond, Funding Advisor
Authoriser: Ana Mules, Team Leader - Community Development and Investment
Take Pūrongo / Purpose of the Report
To allocate Rural Travel Funding for the 2021/22 summer sporting season.
That the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board allocates Rural Travel Grant funding in accordance with the recommendations received from Sport Northland as follows:
|
1) TĀhuhu kŌrero / Background
The Rural Travel Fund was developed in response to concerns raised by Councils throughout the country about the lack of participation in sport by young people living in rural communities. The Fund was introduced as an interim measure until a rural participation strategy was fully developed and implemented. The strategy is yet to be developed.
Kiwisport was launched in 2009 by Prime Minister John Key and funding is given to Sport Northland to achieve three objectives. One of the barriers that has been identified in Northland is the cost of travel. Sport Northland agreed to give part of its funding to the Far North District Council to add to its Rural Travel Fund to overcome the travel barrier and help achieve their three objectives.
Council receives funding based on a per capita basis and gave the three Community Boards delegated authority to allocate the funding. Each Board receives a sum based on the number of people between ages five and nineteen living in their respective areas. Figures are based on the 2013 census results. This funding round is the second of two funding rounds for the current financial year, for sporting activities taking place in winter, or until November 2019 when the next round of funding is allocated.
Council advertises that funding is available approximately one month before applications close in local newspapers and on Council’s Facebook page. The Sport Northland representatives also forward information of the fund to clubs and schools that they work with as a more targeted approach to advertise the funding is available.
2) matapaki me NgĀ KŌwhiringa / Discussion and Options
It is each Community Board's role to determine which applications best meet the criteria and will have the most positive broad effect in their communities. The following table is a guide to the funding criteria.
Funding is available for activities taking place within the district. It is understood, that in some cases, competitions do not exist within the district and travel is required in which case the Community Boards may use their discretion.
Project reports for any previous grants have been received from all the current applicants. Further detailed information provided by Sport Northland regarding their recommendations has been distributed to Board Members separately.

3) PĀnga PŪtea me ngĀ wĀhanga tahua / Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision
Council receives two grants annually that make up this funding budget - $25,080.30 from Sport New Zealand and $25,000 (plus GST) from Sport Northland.
The total budget for rural travel funding for the 2020/21 financial year is $50,080.30. The percentage of youth throughout the district is translated into percentages to calculate the percentage of funding each Board can allocate. It is recommended that only 40% of the total funding be allocated for summer activities and the remainder allocated for the busier winter sporting season.
The total available funds for the winter season is usually $8,327.20. Additional funds (including funding returned or unused by applicants from previous funding rounds, and funds carried over from previous funding rounds) have been added to this amount to allow the grant recommendations in this report to be made.
