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.

That the Bay of Islands – Whangaroa Community Board receive the Cherry Park House Management Committee report and refer it to Council staff requesting their advice as to steps that can be taken to address the issues raised in the report. |
Take / Rationale
Control of Cherry Park House is vested in the Bay of Islands – Whangaroa Community Board by the Far North District Council.

MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT TO
BAY OF ISLANDS WHANGAROA COMMUNITY BOARD
November 2021.
INTRODUCTION
Cherry Park House was bequeathed to the Bay of Islands County Council in the mid 1980’s. The control of the house was delegated to the Kerikeri Community Council
Cherry Park House is located at 160 Landing Road; the house itself has a floor area of 310sq metres, and is situated on 9,141 sq. metre [2.2 acres] section which is officially described as Pt Lot 2 DP 37646 – RESERVE. It has a capital value of $244,000. Whereas this may seem low it has to be remembered that the land is subject to flooding and its uses are therefore limited.
The purpose of Cherry Park House is
“to provide a venue for the furtherance and culture of Arts and crafts and associated interests, for the residents of Kerikeri and immediate environs. To this end facilities are provided for the holding of meetings, symposiums, workshops, displays and exhibitions relating to the interests of the user tenants.”*
The day to day administration of the house was delegated by the Community Council to a Management Committee which was to be made up of
“a representative of each tenant group and two members of the Community Council.”
A copy of what is believed to be the original Constitution and Rules of the house is attached as Appendix One to this letter.
The house is now also used by the Croquet Club as its club rooms, an arrangement agreed by the Council and the Crocket Club at some stage in the past
THE CURRENT POSITION.
Cherry Park House has now been operating for close to 40 years since its establishment as an Arts Centre in the mid-1980s. There are 21 groups regularly using the facilities, a variety of one off users, and over 200 people using the facility on a regular basis.
During the past 40 years there have been changes to its operation and management. The facility is now owned by the Far North District Council, the control is now vested in the Bay of Islands Community Board. The Community Board has in turn delegated the management of the facility to the Cherry Park House Management Committee.
The Management Committee is now elected at an annual general meeting each year. One additional member of the Management Committee is appointed by the Bay of Islands Community Board.
CURRENT ISSUES
The constitution and management.
For some time there have been concerns expressed by Management Committee members as to the appropriate management and control of the property, its rules, its modus operandi, and responsibilities in respect of the property. At the 2018 Annual Meeting a new constitution was adopted. A copy of this constitution is attached as Appendix Two to this letter.
There is now some doubt as to the validity of the new constitution. It has been suggested that the new constitution should have been approved by Council before it could come into effect.
That aside, the FNDC has in place a policy for halls. This is set out in Appendix Three to this letter.
The policy is clear on the role of Council, Community Boards, and Hall Management Committees in the management and running of community halls. Cherry Park House is listed on the FNDC website as a hall. This would suggest that Cherry Park House does not need a constitution.
Procedures for Hall Committees
The Council policy provides that when Community Boards have a Hall Committee under delegated authority to oversee the hall’s operation, the following procedures will apply:
a) The Committee will have a minimum of 5 elected members. In addition, a Community Board Member will be seconded to the committee to provide a liaison and advisory role, but shall not hold an office on the Committee.
b) The Committee will hold an Annual General Meeting every 12 months; this meeting must be publicly notified. Elections will take place at the Annual General Meeting. As Council’s financial year starts in July, this is the suggested month for elections.
c) The Committee will produce annual audited accounts and statistical information on the usage of the hall, income received and any investments made in the hall.
d) The Committee is responsible for all bookings, fee collections and resolving any operational issues.
e) The Committee is responsible for all operational expenditure, including water, pan charges, power, phone, and cleaning.
f) Public halls owned by Council are non-rateable, except for water and sewerage charges.
g) The Committee is responsible for internal maintenance, refurbishments, and purchase of replacement equipment, but not for building renewals.
h) The Committee is responsible for insurance of the hall committee’s chattels, such as chairs, tables, and crockery. Council will insure the facility, which will include fixtures such as stoves and zip water heaters.
i) Where fee income does not meet expenses, an approach can be made through the Community Board for a one-off grant or for the Community Board to fund a specific shortfall each financial year. The Committee’s Community Board Member will advise if fees may need to be increased or if a hall may no longer meet the community’s needs
In general it would seem the policies are being followed by the Management Committee.
Health and Safety - Legal liability
It is noted that the Council Policy in respect of Halls is silent on the question of Health and Safety. This is an issue for the Management Committee and centres on legal liability. As will be discussed later in this report there are a number of issues with Cherry Park House that have significant health and safety implications. Concern has been raised by Management Committee members as to their potential liability in the event of serious injury to any person using the House. Logic suggests that in terms of the respective roles of the Council, the Community Board, and the Management Committee as set out in the Policy, the responsibilities could be as follows :-
a. The safety of the building itself in a generic sense, - Council
b. Health and safety aspects relating to activities being carried out, - The Management Committee
The Committee would appreciate the Council clearly spelling out the responsibility(ies) the members of the Management Committee may, or may not, have in this respect.
Building Warrant of Fitness.
A secondary consideration in respect of the health and safety considerations is the question of a building Warrant of Fitness.
Building owners are required to issue a Building Warrant of Fitness once a year. The following requirements are set out on the FNDC website:-
A Building Warrant of Fitness (BWOF) is a certificate issued by the building owner confirming that all of the specified systems contained within the building have been inspected and maintained and are performing in accordance with the compliance schedule. A BWOF verifies that the inspection, maintenance and reporting procedures for all the specified systems within a building have been carried out in accordance with the compliance schedule for the previous 12 months.
Issuing of the BWOF certificate is the owner’s responsibility; this document must be issued annually. The owner is required to display a copy of the BWOF certificate in a visible location in the building where it can be seen and to which the public have access.
The building owner’s responsibilities are clear, whether or not the building is tenanted. A building owner may delegate his / her responsibility to a tenant. This does not alleviate the owner from liability if the tenant fails to fulfil obligations. A building owner or anyone acting on the building owner’s behalf in signing a BWOF may be liable if they make a false or misleading statement in the BWOF.
The Management Committee would appreciate Council clarification of the status of Cherry Park House in this respect, and clarification on any responsibilities the Committee or Council may have in this respect. In this context it is understood that Council has available a contractor who undertakes property inspections and provides reports on building warrant of fitness issues. This could be a first step in resolving this issue.
SPECIFIC REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE, HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES.
The Management Committee notes the following issues of concern:-
The kiln room
The kiln is located on the lower floor of the house. Access is by way of a steep and narrow staircase. This is not good for people with reduced mobility. The kiln reaches temperatures up to 1300 degrees. It has been installed by a registered electrician and the construction of the kiln means it poses no fire risk. The committee has also had the kiln inspected by the Fire Service and they have advised that they were satisfied that everything was in order. However, heat and fumes from firings do affect the windows – heat and fumes have affected the opacity of the kiln room windows – and the air quality within Cherry Park House while the kiln is operating. It is the view of the committee that there is a need for an adequate ventilation system for when the kiln is in operation.
Whereas the kiln itself seems not to pose a fire risk, in the event of fire in the building which prevented exit via the staircase the only exit from the kiln room would involve climbing out a window and walking up a set of steps.
An added issue is the fact that the kiln room is below ground level.
This raises a flooding issue. There has been flooding in the area in the past resulting in the loss of a kiln and other equipment. The risk of flooding has been mitigated in the past with an outside pump installed in the moat. The problem has been accentuated by the theft of the pump. The Committee has purchased a portable pump from its own resources but this is not an ideal situation however as it requires committee members to monitor the weather and if needed go to the property to activate the pump.
Hot water facilities
The hot water system was gas. However the gas califont has been stolen. This was apparently reported to Council when the theft occurred about two to three years ago. Since then the only source of hot water is a zip in the kitchen. The committee has obtained quotes to replace the stolen hot water system, and has spoken to Andrew Cassell from FNDC in this regard The Management Committee would like to discuss this matter with Council with a view to ensuring a good supply of hot water.
Access
The Management Committee has concerns over access to the building.
Access from the car park on the road frontage is by way of a set of steps. There have been two known recent cases of a person slipping and falling on these steps. One of those incidents requiring ambulance attendance.
The entry from the rear of the building, not the street frontage, is via a path from the carpark around the side of the building and up a ramp. There have been issues around a ‘trip’ hazard in this doorway. Some work has been undertaken by Council on this hazard, but there are remaining issues and it is suggested that a ramp inside this door is also required.
SUMMARY
The Management Committee would appreciate the assistance of the Community Board in clarifying and resolving the issues raised above. The chair and other members of the Management Committee would be happy to attend a Board meeting to further discuss issues raised in this report.
For and on behalf of the Cherry Park Management Committee;

Cherry Park House.
As members will be aware I am of the view that Cherry Park House is not fit for purpose and in fact, is a significant Health and Safety issue given its current use. The council owns a significant piece of land where Cherry Park House is located and I believe there needs to be a robust discussion on the future needs of the current tenants and thought given to a more appropriate use for the land
A Report is being finalised by the Management Committee for submission to the Board. Given my concern over significant health and safety issues, I plan to give notice of a motion at the next meeting that the Board note the report, and that it be forwarded to Council staff for them to consider and report back to the Board on the issues raised.
Kerikeri Domain Working Group
This has been a frustrating exercise at times and it needs to be placed on record the time and effort member Lane Ayr as Chair of the group has put into this project. Despite the frustrations there is no doubt that the Domain will be a better place as a result of the work being carried out.
Daffodil Day 2021
As members are aware for my sins I have been the Kerikeri Convenor for the Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day for the past two years. This year Daffodil Day on 27 August was cancelled due to lockdown. Despite that the local organising committee managed to run two fund raising lunches and a dinner after they were rescheduled three times. A great example of what our community can achieve with strong participation by enthusiastic volunteers.

Resource Consents
As noted in several of my previous reports, it appears that the process of supplying RC’s to the CB has changed, to save all parties time and energy I will cease any further comments on RC’s.
Requests for Service/information
I submit few RFS, while encouraging community members to do so directly, several that I did submit have not, in my opinion elicited any real action the following are the last two.
Re: Mission Road and Landing Road Parking still an issue additional photo supplied.
Re: Repainting parking lot directions signs Kerikeri Parking lot no action.
I would not like to see RFS’s become the default inspection process, for instance the vegetation on the roundabout at the Bypass and Waipapa now restricts view of traffic turning (If your proceeding now on Waipapa you cannot see traffic turning right to go down the bypass) This should not require an RFS.
In progress
Kerikeri Domain Working Group
As most will be aware construction has started on the Skate Board Park. Basketball Court and Playground which form the major module of the project
The project may be over budget, and that to provide the project as presented to the community, the Working Group may be required to seek additional funding.
The KDWG is currently awaiting detailed to-date costs so that we can prioritize outstanding items in the design, within budgetary limits.
There is little purpose at this time in analyzing the cause of any “over run” but it may well be of assistance in future projects.
I had promised a presentation to the Board which has not proved possible at this time. WG’s recent meeting minutes and pic’s are attached.
Comments
Given the current COVID restrictions I believe that the staff and in general the organization are to be congratulated on maintaining services.
I admit to a general naivety regarding both Politics and Cronyism, both of which I find distasteful.
A colleague and I were delegated to provide a report on a submission to the Board, which we did.
Given the parties making the submission and the topic, one would have had to been credulous not to observe the potential for interference.
But as stated I’m naive, suffice it to say I strongly object to having my time wasted, also the waste of resources in re wording the report.
As Chairman of the KDWG I was made aware that the “Ramps” being removed from the Domain had been constructed in a modular method which lent itself to being disassembled. In contact with a fellow Board member from one of our other communities, there was an interest in having the “Ramps”
It was arranged to disassemble the ramps and transport to the other community this was achieved despite Covid lockdowns/restrictions etc. no small feat.
However, no good deed goes unpunished, as I was to discover, an unrequested press release elicited some negative comments from the community, these were handled by my Board colleague, I’m also informed that the community has raised significant funds for the re assembly of the “ramps”.
I received various communications from senior staff and am aware of other senior members all finding fault in the “process” used, I received no comments regarding assistance with the project. They were FNDC assets on FNDC property moved to another FNDC property, probably fully depreciated and I would be surprised to see any expenditure on maintenance.
It is extremely sad when our emphasis is placed on process rather than an objective.

Issues/Feedback
Our Community Board needs to make sure that management doesn't forward difficult decisions to the Community Boards without consulting or informing us in an appropriate timeframe. The no-surprises policy has to be both ways!
Reports tabled at our meetings need to be more in-depth, and if there are geographical issues, staff will benefit from site visits. Online maps hardly ever tell the whole story.
A lack of communication seems to get in the way of positive interaction between ratepayers and FNDC. A personal acknowledgement (after the automatic reply) is seldomly sent out and gets the interaction off on the wrong foot.
There is big angst and uncertainty in all communities over imminent arrival of Covid-19 Delta and the business community is rallying for a busy and prosperous summer season.

Appendix - Guidelines for Choosing a Road Name
Road names should be chosen from the following categories provided they meet the criteria in clause 5.5 and 5.6 of this policy.
7.1 History – Weighting 3
7.1.1 The name of a historical person, event, industry or activity associated with the area. Such names may include early settlers and early notable people such as conservationists or naturalists.
7.1.2 The family name of the former owner of a farm or property or the name of the farm or property may be used if a historical context is established.
7.2 Culture – Weighting 3 (Cultural significance to Maori or culture other than Maori)
7.2.1 This category includes the name of a Maori heritage precinct, site or track or traditional appropriate Maori name for the area.
7.2.2 All Maori names are to be submitted to an Iwi representative to ensure that they are appropriate, spelt correctly, interpreted correctly and are not offensive to Maori.
7.2.3 Maori should be consulted as to whether they have an interest in the land on which the road is to be constructed and asked if they wish to contribute names at the beginning of the Resource Consent process.
7.2.4 Joint non-Maori/Maori names will not generally be considered.
7.3 Geography – Weighting 2
7.3.1 This category includes local geographical, topographical, geological and landscape features.
7.3.2 Local flora and fauna also fall into this category e.g. trees, plants and animals that are widespread and plentiful in the area.
7.3.3 Views must be readily identifiable.
7.4 Theme – Weighting 2 (Common or established themes in the area)
7.4.1 Where more than one road is being created in a development, a common theme is recommended for the names.
7.4.2 Where there is an established theme in an area, new road names should reflect this theme.
7.4.3 Proposed themes for a new subdivision must be submitted to council for approval.
7.4.4 When all the roads in a development or suburb fit a theme, the road layout of the development is easier to remember. The area will stand out on a map.
7.4.5 A theme may contribute to a sense of community within the area. A well chosen theme with the roads named accordingly can leave a lasting impression long after the development process has been completed.
7.5 Noteworthy Person – weighting 1 (Personal name for special service to the District or community)
7.5.1 Persons who have made a notable contribution to the area or the District fall into this category. The contribution which can be duly recognised may be in conservation, community service, sport, arts, military, commerce, local government or other sphere of activity.
7.5.2 Names from local war memorials will be considered where appropriate. Permission of surviving relatives should be obtained where appropriate.
7.6 Weighting the Names
7.6.1 Names may fit more than one category. The weighting reflects the relative importance of the categories and enables names to be ranked in order of merit - with the highest scored being the highest ranked.

Proposed Reporting Frequency
It is proposed that the Contract Management Specialist report to the Community Board initially on a 6 monthly basis or as required. Additional reports will be provided as required around contract extensions or procurement market exercises that fall outside the 6 monthly reporting regime.
Proposed Community Board Feedback/Consultation Mechanism
Feedback from Community Boards regarding issues from the community, contractor performance and levels of service, could be channelled through these meetings via FNDC Contract Management Specialist, Officers would then report back to the Community Boards on outcomes.
The most beneficial time for Community Boards to be involved in reviewing and giving input to setting levels of service, contract scope and deliverables is the Long-Term Plan process and contract development stage prior to tender.
A further opportunity is prior to extension of any major contract.
It is proposed that the Contract Management Specialist (together with other FNDC key stakeholders) facilitate those contract discussions with the Community Board.
Contract Register
An FNDC Contract Register has been built on the intranet site TK3 in SharePoint. The register contains general contract information such as start date end date, contract value etc. It will also contain some analysis tools such as the category of the contract i.e. whether the contract is categorised as Transactional, Routine, Strategic or Critical to FNDC.
Other analytical tools are:
Contract Concentration Risk
Business Continuity requirement
Contract Health Check requirement
This will provide valuable insights into contract performance and management at FNDC.
