1.1 Purpose
of Report
To
report on the submissions received on Council’s proposed Local Easter
Sunday Trading Policy and once having heard and considered those submissions,
for Council to make a decision on whether to adopt the Local Easter Sunday
Trading Policy.
|
At the
Meeting
The
hearing of submissions commenced at 3.05pm.
The following
members of the public delivered their oral submissions at the meeting:
- Dr. Robin Gwynn
- Isabel Morgan (submission by read
Margaret Lynch)
- Reverend Bryan Carey (St Luke’s
Anglican Church)
All three
speakers spoke against the proposed Policy, raising the following key points:
- That they believe New Zealand
currently has one of the lowest number of common break days in a year across
the OECD. Currently this is 3.5 days, with a total of 361 trading days
across the year.
- That they felt that the proposed
Policy would negatively impact on families because it has the potential to
reduce the number of days they may spend together.
- That although the proposed Policy
provides a choice for retailers, the submitters felt that commercial
pressures would create a situation where retailers felt they had to open on
Easter Sunday in order to remain competitive. Moreover, they also
expressed a concern on the practical reality of whether employees would feel
pressured by their employers to work that day.
- That they felt there was not enough
demand from retailers to warrant adopting the proposed Policy, and that
Council should take a wait and see approach, and reconsider the Policy should
overwhelming demand occur.
- They were particularly concerned about
the timing of the consultation period, being held over December and January,
and the appearance that Christian groups were not (who have a special
interest in Easter weekend), consulted with to an appropriate level.
In response
to questions from Councillors, it was clarified that:
- the Napier community network which
consists of approximately 90-100 organisations was consulted including
religious groups.
- the consultation occurred from 5
December 2016-13 January 2017.
- it is believed that Hastings District
Council is due to undertake consultation on this matter this year; a large
number of councils have already discussed and decided on an Easter Sunday
trading policy to date.
The
hearing of submissions were closed at 3.30pm. Deliberations
started at 3.30pm.
The Mayor
advised Councillors that this decision should be treated as a conscience
vote.
Key
deliberations
Points raised
for the recommendation were:
- the proposed Policy gives retailers
the choice to open or not. In practice, retailers already have a choice
not to open on Sundays if they do not want to, and this is evident in Napier
and works well e.g. the retailers are not compelled to open.
- Napier is a tourist town and many
people do enjoy visiting and shopping in our area at this time of
year.
- Many who could be most affected by the
Policy have indicated that they want the choice as an employee.
- In practice, the 5 day working week
has not been a reality for some time, and a lot of employees also work shifts.
Points raised
against the recommendation were:
- Napier prides itself on being a family
friendly city and adopting this Policy was viewed as a challenge to this as
it reduces the number of non-trading days from 3.5 days to 2.5
days.
- it wasn’t believed that there is
significant demand from retailers for the option to open (e.g. only 65% of
retailers requested it).
- concern on how the proposed Policy
would operate in practice, there would be less choice for employees if
retailers decided to open.
- there was concern that there should
have been specific consultation with Christian churches and that the
timeframe that consultation was open for was unfortunate.
- concern that competitive pressure on
retailers would create a situation where some would feel they had to open.
Deliberations
closed at 3.43pm.

of Report
To

Services Committee meeting of 8th February 2017 titled “Napier Aquatic
Centre Hours of Operation Review”.
|
At the
meeting
An amendment
was immediately raised, that part B of the officer’s recommendation be
removed for the following reasons:
- changes to the opening hours during
weekdays is not considered necessary at this time.
- Napier City Council is not fulfilling
its outcome listed in the Long Term Plan of safe and secure aquatic facilities.
- Napier City Council should fast-track
Aquatic development to meet the needs of the community as outlined in the
Long Term Plan, rather than making one-off changes to the current
situation to minimise current limitations.

4.1 Purpose
of Report
To
present the final draft Triennial Agreement 2016-19 for approval and adoption
by Council.
At the Meeting
The
Chief Executive gave an overview of the Agreement including that it is now
clearer on what key activities we want to focus on as a region, and advised
Councillors of some minor amendments proposed by Hawke’s Bay Regional
Council (HBRC), including:
- reference to Coastal Hazards Joint
Committee in the Agreement. Councillors were comfortable with this
recommendation.
- a suggestion around bilateral engagement
between regional councillors and individual Councils. This suggestion was
not considered appropriate for this multi-party agreement, and fits better into
a bilateral agreement between Councils and the HBRC.
It
was agreed to pursue the existing approach of adopting the agreement, as
accepted in principle by the Mayors and Chair of the region’s councils,
and discussing any proposed amendments at upcoming Mayoral forum
meetings.
Councillors
expressed their support to the Agreement in particular noting the benefits of
the new Agreement over the previous Agreement including, the Agreement,
o
is clearer on the
key activities we want to focus on as a region
o
specifies what the
principles are and the activities
o
has more substance,
and
o
more frequent
meetings will provide more focus to the agreement.
In response to questions raised by Councillors, the CE advised:
o
the Councillors can
put items for consideration on the agenda through the Mayor
o
minutes will be made
available to Councillors
o
the Mayoral forum
will establish processes around the infrastructure fund.

|
At the
meeting
Councillors
expressed their support for the Quarterly Report, and congratulated the Napier
City Council, including
- for the majority of items Council
reported on, it shows we are on track
- Napier City Council should showcase to
the public areas where we are excelling, for example, one of the key
achievements in the report is that Napier City Council has one of the highest
rating building consents authorities in the country.
- Napier City Council is tracking to
budget and there is a favourable variance to income; it is on target with
operating expenditure; overspent on capital expenditure, but given the size
of the capital programme this is not considered a concern.
- the traffic light system in the report
allows for Councillors to easily see which areas to direct their attention to.
In response
to a query on two line items, it was clarified that:
- the general ledger codes are set and
have not been updated to reflect the change in concept from Velodrome to the
Multi-use sports facility.
- there may have been some small spend
on the completion of the movement of penguins to the Aquarium, and the
Director of Corporate Services would report back to Council on this.
On the Health
and Safety report, Councillors make the following comments:
- the report should be pitched at a more
strategic level for the Councillors to be able to make governance decisions
on it. Where the report includes any areas where a rating has not been
achieved, an explanation should accompany it.
- a concern was raised around the number
of incidences of abuse towards library and environmental health staff, and in
particular the library staff. The Director of Community Services
advised that the library is close to social services, and explained risk
mitigations including that:
o
librarians have
processes in place to deal with intimidation and if they are
threatened.
o
there is also a
security company on call for rapid response should Police not be able to
respond.
- The Director also explained that
anecdotally there does seem to be an increase in these types of incidences
around the city, but no statistics have been taken.
- Regarding the SkatePark, a question
was asked on the way the report outlines incidences at the Skatepark
including a section on minor injuries and then a section which states
not-minor injuries, and whether this meant ‘major
injuries’. A further question was asked around whether the Napier
City Council has a helmet policy and is enforcing it.
- The Director of Community Services said,
in line with the approach taken by professional ski-fields, that the helmet
policy is based on encouraging people to wear a helmet, and that this is done
through the staff wearing helmets and providing education to the
skaters. This policy of encouragement, versus a strict policy of
enforcement, was promoted as being a more effective way of encouraging
skaters to the park.
|
|
Actions required:
- Council to showcase the achievement of
highest rating building consents in the next Proudly Napier
- General Ledger code Velodrome, to be
changed to Multi-use sports facility.
- Report back to Council at next meeting
relating to the expenditure for ‘removal of penguins from Marineland to
Aquarium’ is.
- Council to change the type of health
and safety reporting to Council:
o
to focus
more on governance and strategic information rather than a report that details
operational information,
o
using the
‘traffic light’ reporting style
o
where a not
achieved is noted against a Health and Safety key performance indicator, an
explanation be included.
