Executive Summary

·        The Terms of Reference for the Kaitāia, Motutangi and Kaikino and Waiharara Area Drainage Committees state they will meet twice a year as determined by the Te Hiku Community Board

 

Recommendation

That Te Hiku Community Board adopt the following meeting dates for the Kaitāia, Motutangi and Kaikino and Waiharara Area Drainage Committees:

·        3 April 2025

·        18 August 2025

 

 

1) Background

Meetings must be called and conducted in accordance with Schedule 7 of the Local Government Act 2002 and Part 7 of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987. The Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (LGOIMA) promotes the open and public transaction of business at meetings.

The Kaitāia, Motutangi and Kaikino and Waiharara Area Drainage Committees were re-established via resolution at the 14 March 2023 Te Hiku Community Board meeting. The Terms of Reference of the three Drainage Committees state the Kaitāia Drainage Area Committee will meet twice a year as determined by the Te Hiku Community Board. Additional meetings may be held when required with the approval of the Chief Executive.

2) Discussion and Options

This report recommends that Te Hiku Community Board adopt the following meeting dates for the Kaitāia, Motutangi and Kaikino and Waiharara Area Drainage Committees

·    3 April 2025

·    18 August 2025

The proposed meeting dates ensures minimal meeting event conflicts and sufficient time for report escalation to the following Te Hiku Community Board meeting.

Please note, additional time may be required from time to time for unexpected or unanticipated matters. This should however be minimal. Staff are committed to providing as much notice as possible and making sure that business where possible, is restricted to the days adopted as part of this schedule.

REASON FOR THE RECOMMENDATION

To adopt a schedule of Drainage Committee meetings for the 2025 calendar year.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

There is a cost in supporting meetings, and these are covered within operational budgets.
