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.

Hokianga Bowling Cub Incorporated – Storage Shed

$5,580

(45%)

$5,580

The Hokianga Bowling Club is located at 61 Clendon Esplanade, Rawene and has a small club house compared to other bowling clubs. Storage of the equipment in the club house would be taking up room that they don’t have to spare.

The Bowling Club has a lease with Council, clause 12 of the lease states that a further building will require the Club to seek written consent from Council before erecting a structure. Based on this clause, the recommendation is to approve the funding, however the payment will not be made to the Club until the approval has been granted. If approval is not granted then staff will bring back a report revoking the decision and the funding will be added back to the Community Boards Community Grant budget.

Sport and Recreation

Te Pokapu Tiaki Taiao O Te Tai Tokerau Trust – Tai Tokerau Timebank

$2,455

With travel being difficult they are now wanting to run workshops in Kaikohe so that more people can attend without having to travel to Kaitaia. The costs in this application are for the Kaikohe workshops. The consumables that they would like to purchase are materials for the workshop e.g. wax for bee wrap workshop.  The mobile phone will be used to the Kaikohe-Hokianga Time Bank Coordinator.
