1.1 Purpose of Report
To report to Council the financial forecast to the 30 June 2017 for the whole of Council.
That Council: a. Receive the financial forecast to 30 June 2017 b. Approve $1.8M from the Ahuriri Water Sport Facility budget planned for 2017/18 being brought forward to 2016/17, to fund the purchase of land at Humber Street, identified for event parking overflow and recreation. c. Approve $350k from the Taradale Stormwater Upgrade budget planned for 2017/18 being brought forward to 2016/17 due to a timing variance in planned spend for the project.
|
That the Council resolve that the officer’s recommendation be adopted.
|
1.2 Background Summary
The purpose of this report is to provide a financial forecast for Council’s operating and capital expenditure to 30 June 2017. The operating and capital forecasts are based on actual expenditure January year to date, plus estimated remaining spend for the 2016/17 financial year. Attachment A provides analysis of the variations between the Annual Plan 2016/17 and financial forecast for 2016/17 for both capital and operational items.
Net operating expenditure
The operational forecast shows forecast net expenditure of $7.9m at 30 June 2017 and is in line with budget of $7.6m (see Attachment A).
Capital plan
Officers have reviewed the timing of the capital programme and this has resulted in a number of projects being reprioritised. The capital plan for 2016/17 (including vested assets) is forecast at $42.4m compared to budget of $61.6m (see Attachment A). The key movements between 2016/17 and 2017/18 in the forecast capital plan are set out below:
· Watchman Road project bulk funding of $1.2m moved to 2017/18
· Transportation planned expenditure of $2.3m (relating to the Essential Services review) moved to 2017/18
· Multi-use Sports Facility budget of $1.8m moved to 2017/18 (subject to Council approval)
· Destination Playground and Anderson Park planned expenditure of $2.2m moved to 2017/18 due to project timing
· Planned capital spend of $1.8m for parking development moved to 2017/18
· Civic building upgrade budget of $3.6m now planned for 2017/18
1.3 Issues
The proposed capital plan for the 2017/18 Annual Plan will include capital projects that have transferred from 2016/17.
1.4 Significance and Consultation
The issues for discussion are not significant in terms of Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy and no consultation is required.
1.5 Implications
Financial
Attachment B includes a summary schedule by activity group, and shows the net movement in the funding source for both operating and capital expenditure.
Attachment C sets out all rate funded and non-rate funded movements. The main reason for the forecast reduction in funding required for 2016/17 is due to moving capital projects out to future years.
Due to the timing variance in planned capital spend, Officers are recommending that $1.8m from the Ahuriri Water Sport Facility budget planned for 2017/18 is brought forward to 2016/17 to fund the purchase of land at Humber Street identified for event parking overflow and recreation.
Further, it is recommended that $350k from the Taradale Stormwater Upgrade budget for 2017/18 year is brought forward to 2016/17.
Social & Policy
N/A
Risk
Officers have undertaken a risk assessment on project timing. It was assessed that there is no change in risk as a result of these project movements. Officers will continue to monitor and identify any variance to the capital work programme and will report to management on a monthly basis.
1.6 Options
The options available to Council are as follows:
1. Council can receive the financial forecast to 30 June 2017.
2. Council can approve recommendation B to bring forward the budget of $1.8m for the Ahuriri Water Sport Facility from 2017/18 to 2016/17.
3. Council can approve recommendation C to bring forward the budget of $350k for the Taradale Stormwater Upgrade from 2017/18 to 2016/17.
1.7 Development of Preferred Option
The preferred option is that Council receive the financial forecast to 30 June 2017 and that Council approve both recommendations B and C.

Deborah Smith, Governance Advisor |
2.1 Purpose of Report
To provide Council with the Local Governance Statement 2016-2019, to be adopted by 8 April 2017 as per the Local Government Act 2002.
That Council: a. Adopt the Local Governance Statement 2016-2019; and b. Approve the updates made to the Governance Structure (appended to the Local Governance Statement), in particular the i. Terms of Reference for the Hawke’s Bay Civil Defence Emergency Management Joint Committee ii. Terms of Reference for the Regional Transport Committee.
|
That the Council resolve that the officer’s recommendation be adopted.
|
2.2 Background Summary
A Local Governance Statement is intended to be an overarching document that provides key information to the public relating to how the Council is governed and managed. Specifically, the document should include information on:
· the functions, responsibilities, and activities of council
· any local legislation that confers powers on council
· Council’s bylaws
· the electoral system that the council uses and the opportunity to change it
· representation arrangements, including the option of establishing Maori wards or constituencies, and the opportunity to change them
· members' roles and conduct (with specific reference to the applicable statutory requirements and code of conduct)
· governance structures and processes, membership, and delegations
· meeting processes, with specific reference to the applicable provisions of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 and standing orders
· consultation policies
· policies for liaising with, and memoranda or agreements with, Maori
· the management structure and the relationship between management and elected members
· the remuneration and employment policy, if adopted
· the equal employment opportunities policy
· key approved planning and policy documents and the process for their development and review
· systems for public access to it and its elected members
· processes for requests for official information.
Section 40 of the Local Government Act 2002 requires councils to adopt a Local Governance Statement within six months of a triennial election. This means that Council must adopt a Statement by 8 April 2017. The adopted Statement may then be updated at any stage during the triennium as is considered appropriate to keep it complete, accurate and relevant.
2.3 Issues
A significant amount of work has gone into the updated Local Governance Statement (shown at Attachment A), to ensure that it is an appealing and comprehensive document that the public can use to:
· learn about the fundamentals of how Council is structured and how it operates at a governance level,
· get to know the elected members and executive team and what their various responsibilities are,
· learn how they can best contact and interact with Council, and
· understand how they can have their say on how elections are run, how they are represented, and what work they think is most important for Council to undertake on their behalf.
The Statement meets its requirements under the Local Government Act and is substantially more accurate and complete in the information it contains; it must be reviewed at least every three years and it is anticipated that this document will now form a useful foundation for future versions.
The Governance Structure adopted by Council on 14 December 2016, has been placed as an appendix to the Statement. It has had some minor updates including:
· updating any new appointments such as appointments to the Creative Communities committee
· addition of a list of Joint committees and Terms of References.
· addition of Council Organisations.
The Terms of Reference for other Joint Committees such as for the Coastal Hazards Strategy, Heretaunga Plains Urban Development Strategy and Waste Futures are currently under review and will be submitted to Council shortly, and at that time the Governance Statement will be further updated. This ensures all relevant governance information is easily located in one place.
The Council recognises the need to improve public accessibility to governance-related information and provide a greater level of transparency over Council’s governance arrangements. One way to achieve this is through a review of governance-related information on the Council’s website. The Governance Team has already been able to improve the website pages on meetings. A new, streamlined page which lists meetings and the associated papers including agendas, attachments and minutes has been developed. There is also a useful search function for the public to use. This will be made live to the public shortly.
2.4 Significance and Consultation
As the document is a statement of existing operations, consultation is not required for its adoption.
The Local Governance Statement is required to include information on ways the public can provide feedback to Council, and so is an important advisory tool for the public on the ‘basics’ of Council’s consultation practices.

1.1 Purpose of Report
To outline that Napier City Council’s will review the Terms of Reference of the Māori Consultative Committee.
At the Māori Consultative Committee meeting In a discussion on the Terms of Reference, the following points were made: · the representatives of the committee should represent Māori interests in general, not solely organisations they may be part of. Therefore, reference to organisations will be removed from the Terms of Reference. · the Committee should provide a genuine avenue for the members to put forward issues that Māori consider important and to be able to seek resolution of these issues. An example was provided where an issue had been raised at the Māori Consultative Committee over two years ago regarding the timing of burials, but no satisfactory resolution had been forthcoming. This issue was raised again, namely, that due to Council’s business hours for the cemetery, this sometimes resulted in a deceased person not being able to be buried for several days, and the body would be kept on a Marae until it could be buried. This presented an affordability issue for Māori. · in response to the issue of burials, the Mayor advised that Council will look into this and report back at the next Māori Committee meeting. · the review of the Terms of Reference provides an opportunity to reassess who the key stakeholders in the Māori community are and how to feed that back to Council, and to ensure there are robust measures so engagement is effective and genuine. · there was agreement that the Māori Consultative Committee members should set aside some time outside of the meeting to discuss and share ideas for developing the Terms of Reference and to ensure it has solid principles for the future.
· The current Terms of Reference should be amended to reflect hat the committee feeds into the decision-making process of council decisions, rather than a focus on stating that the committee does not have any decision-making powers.
|
ACTION: Officials to consider the burial issue raised and report back to the next Māori Consultative Committee meeting.
|
MĀori Consultative Committee's Recommendation Councillor Tapine / Mayor That the report titled Opportunities for the role of the Māori Consultative Committee be received. That the Māori Consultative Committee members review the Terms of Reference and bring suggested changes to the Terms of Reference back to Napier City Council officials. That the suggested changes to the Terms of Reference today, namely, the removal of organisations represented by Committee members, and the change from no decision making powers to a focus that the committee feeds into the decision-making process of council decisions, be noted and incorporated into any further changes made by the Māori Consultative Committee members. |
Officer’s Recommendation That the report titled Opportunities for the role of the Māori Consultative Committee be received. |
That the Council resolve that the officer’s recommendation be adopted.
|
1.2 Background Summary
In the spirit of the principles of partnership, participation and protection outlined in the Treaty of Waitangi and in accordance with legislative requirements outlined in the Local Government Act 2002, in particular, Part 6, Section 82, Napier City Council wishes to further improve the way it engages with Māori including through the use of the Māori Consultative Committee.
Working in partnership with Māori and developing meaningful relationships is important to the Council.
In order to make best use of the time of the Māori Consultative Committee, Napier City Council intends to review the Terms of Reference of the Committee. The Terms of Reference was adopted by Council at 14 December 2016 and can be reviewed at any point during the triennium.
The Council suggests a sharing of ideas at the inaugural meeting of the Māori Consultative Committee on 15 February 2017 on:
· how members can be engaged early on in the development of projects and plans
· what kind of governance topics are of particular interest to members, and
· opportunities for the future.
These ideas will be used to assist in a review of the role of the Māori Consultative Committee.

1. Road Stopping - Portion of Rogers Road

Legal Reference: |
Public Works Act 1981 |
Document ID: |
339644 |
Reporting Officer/s & Unit: |
Bryan Faulknor, Manager Property |
1.1 Purpose of Report
To seek Council’s approval to stop approximately 70 m2 of legal road fronting 107 Rogers Road, Napier, and sell the stopped road to the adjoining landowners.
The current owners purchased the lot that became 107 Rogers Road and employed a designer to prepare plans for their new house. Unfortunately, the designer misunderstood the boundary information and placed the new house within one metre of the road boundary. The section encroaches into the current legal turning head at the end of Rogers Road.
The owners and Council have entered into an Agreement whereby the Council has agreed to stop the part of the road on which the section is located and sell that part of the road to the owners. The stopped road will then be amalgamated with the owner’s existing land.
Concurrently with this, the Council has obtained replacement land on the other side of the turning head, which will be vested as part of a subdivision. This means that the turning arc will remain the same size as present, but will be slightly relocated.
The road stopping effects no party other than the adjoining owners. The land immediately adjacent to the landowners is a public walkway.
1.3 Issues
There are no issues.
1.4 Significance and Consultation
There has been considerable consultation with the owners of the adjoining land as well as the landowner opposite to reach a satisfactory conclusion on this matter. There are no other parties involved.
1.5 Implications
Financial
The landowners are purchasing the property at valuation which ensures it is a fair market rate. The owner of the land across the road has made the re-alignment possible through the subdivision process. No payment from Napier City Council is required and the land is to be vested in Napier City Council. There are no further budgetary implications.
Social & Policy
Not applicable.
Risk
Not applicable.
1.6 Options
The options available to Council are as follows:
To approve the road stopping in accordance with the provisions of Section 116 of the Public Works Act 1981, and to vest the stopped road to the owners of the adjoining land being that land contained in CFR 95876.
1.7 Development of Preferred Option
The stopping of the road and sale to the adjoining owners, along with the relocation of the turning head, provides the only sensible solution to legalise the current situation.

2.1 Purpose of Report
To provide Council with a draft Project Plan and Terms of Reference for a Freedom Camping Working Group, in order that Council may agree on the composition of the Working Group, including the appointment of a Chair, Council and community representatives.
At the Meeting In response to questions from Councillors, it was clarified that: · the working party is intended to work collectively to bring advice back to Council (so it is not a voting body). · the working party would be able to task council officers to undertake particular research, to contact and draw on the knowledge and skills on those outside the working party, and to speak to other interested groups or organisations. · while it would be ideal to have a representative on the working party from non-self-contained vehicles, by their very nature, they are itinerant and there may be other ways to obtain their feedback. It was noted that the Nelson Park ward includes the non-self-contained freedom camping and Cr Tapine is on the working party. · the working party structure was based on the Taupo model with some adjustments to recognise the particular local needs. · in the final structure of the working party there will be no distinction between those who have been invited and those who have been appointed to the working party. · the working party will have a broad enough mandate to look at new and different practices as they see fit. · the intention of the working party is to draw on, and represent views from, the whole of Napier including those residents not on the working party or in coastal areas. To this end, the Chair has recommended that the Chair of the Taradale Development Association (Mr Bob Morrison) and the Secretary of the Westshore Residents and Development Association (Mrs Dorothy Pilkington) be invited to participate on the working party, subject to the approval of their Associations. Some discussion took place on whether the draft Terms of Reference should be adopted at the meeting, but it was decided that the working party should have the opportunity to amend it as necessary and then bring it back to Council for adoption. It was generally agreed that included in the guiding principles for the working party (as outlined in the draft Terms of Reference), should be the expectation that the needs of local residents are given priority. Based on the discussion around this matter, the Chair elected to add a further part to his recommendation.
|
At the Māori Consultative Committee meeting The Mayor advised that regulating freedom camping is an issue that every council in New Zealand is facing and expressed how difficult it can be to enforce rules in this area.
|
MĀori Consultative Committee's Recommendation T Aranui /Mayor That the Council resolve that the Committee’s recommendation be adopted. CARRIED Councillor Tapine abstained from the vote as he is a member of the working group.

Councillors Dallimore / Taylor a. That the Council resolve that the Officer’s Recommendation be adopted: “That Council establish a Freedom Camping Working Group composed of key stakeholders, Councillors and Council officers to consider freedom camping issues and to report back to Council with recommendations on potential solutions”; and
b. That Council invites and appoints the following community representatives to the Working Group:
· President of the Taradale Development Association to represent general residents; and · Secretary of the Westshore Resident and Development Association to represent coastal residents; and
c. That Council appoint Councillor Hague (as Chair) and Councillor Tapine to the Working Group.
d. That the third guiding principle outlined in the draft Terms of Reference be expanded to read develop guiding principles on how freedom camping should be managed whilst minimising impact on the residents of Napier. CARRIED

3.1 Purpose of Report
To present the territorial authority report on dog control policies and practices for the dog control registration year 1 July 2015 – 30 June 2016, for adoption by Council as required under Section 10A of the Dog Control Act 1996, prior to being submitted to the Secretary for Local Government and being made publically available.
An updated report was tabled due to a couple of small errors identified in the report. In response to questions from Councillors, it was clarified that: · the procedural change utilised by Napier City Council was not a nation-wide programme, but a pro-active approach developed by Napier with the intention of encouraging good behaviours and helping residents of Napier become good dog owners. · while Napier City Council does not have the regulatory ability to stop people breeding or owning breed types classified as menacing, recent funding has been received for a programme called Operation Underdog, which offers free neutering for menacing breed types and encouraging people to take this up on their own accord. · the increase in menacing dogs is proportional to the greater numbers of dogs being registered. · the noted significant decreases in complaint numbers across a variety of dog-related issues, suggests that the change in procedure is working, however it was reiterated that ultimately the purpose of animal control is compliance. · Council intends to continue requesting feedback from the public on all its activities including animal control. The Mayor extended congratulations to all staff involved in the recent handling of the dog pound matter from the chief executive to animal control officers.

1.1 Purpose of Report
To identify any changes or any comment Council wishes to make to Hawke’s Bay Airport Limited in regard to the Draft Statement of Intent.
The representatives from the Hawke’s Bay Airport, Tony Porter, Olivia Pierre and Sarah Park, were welcomed to the meeting. In the interests of the availability of the presenters Items 1 and 2 were taken together. The presenters spoke to their reports, noting: · There has been continued growth in the airside and landside budgets. The Company intends to work closely with its shareholders to better realise the value of the business park. · The operating expenses came in under budget for the first six months of the year, and a significant payment was made against the loan. · The gearing ratio is very low currently, but is forecast to climb steeply as funding is drawn down for larger capital works in the near future, then to return relatively quickly to a lower percentage by approximately year five of the budget model. It is the nature of airport works that in large part drives the spikes in the ratio. · A number of capital works are planned for the next few years, of which the terminal development is the largest. The detailed design for this project is due to be complete this week. It is anticipated that the project will be fully completed in March 2019. · Security updates have been made across airport functions in line with recent CAA changes to the regulations. · Airport staff have had input into the NZTA “SH2/ Watchman Road roundabout” project, the tender for which closed today. In response to questions from elected members, it was clarified that: · Stormwater attenuation considerations have been integrated into every area of development at the airport, including the business park. · The Airport executive team has worked hard to keep operating costs low despite significant changes in security, fire and rescue and other matters having been rolled out over the six month period. · While it may be an option to return to an earlier approach of paying no dividend to its shareholders over the period of the larger capital works, the Airport Company believes that the loan funding it is now able to draw on provides enough flexibility to pay a dividend as part of its overall financial management. |

3.1 Purpose of Report
To provide Council with an update report from Business Hawke’s Bay (BHB).
Carolyn Neville, Business Hawke’s Bay Marketing and Operations Manager, was welcomed to the meeting. Carolyn spoke to the report, noting: · Visitor numbers to the Business Hub had increased over the last quarter. · A survey of business travellers undertaken over a month indicated an increased level in connectivity through travel, to which the introduction of JetStart Flights to the Hawke’s Bay Airport had made a significant contribution. Of particular note was the increased travel between Napier and Auckland. · Central Government funding had contributed towards several initiatives underway, such as Techweek 2017, as well as the recruitment of further staff including the role of Marketing and Operations Manager. · The food and beverage sector, as well as agri-business, had been in particular focus for business attraction and development.

7.1 Purpose of Report
To update Council on the progress regarding Seismic Assessments of Council owned buildings.
In response to queries from elected members it was clarified that: · The last assessment of the Civic Building was in 2011. As technologies have improved significantly since that time, and with the consideration of potential options for the building campus in mind, it was decided to re-assess the building. · A building is designated ‘earthquake prone’ if it meets less than 34% of the current building code. It is accepted practice that any alterations and renovations made to such buildings should bring them to 67% or higher. Council aims to bring all buildings as close to 100% of code as it can, but for some older buildings this is not feasible.

Reporting Officer/s & Unit: |
Michele Grigg, Senior Advisor Policy |
1.1 Purpose of Report
To advise Council on the process undertaken in reviewing the Joint Alcohol Strategy with Hastings District Council, and to request approval to release the draft Strategy for stakeholder and public feedback prior to finalisation of the document, and adoption by each Council.
It was noted that it was not unusual for ‘at risk’ groups to be identified in such strategies, as it contributes towards specific consideration of the groups’ needs and may drive solutions that are particularly helpful to them. Feedback on other possible target groups for consideration could be provided during the consultation period. It was further noted that there was the option to review the strategy within three years rather than the suggested five; elected members could use the opportunity to provide feedback on the strategy if they believed this was a better life cycle for the strategy. The Chair advised that an alteration should be made to her recommendation that the officer’s recommendation be adopted, and that her new recommendation be: · that part a. of the officer’s recommendation stand, but · that part b. should be amended to read “…the Community Services Committee Chair and Councillor Keith Price…”. This recommendation of the Chair was made based on Councillor Price’s existing responsibilities in liquor licensing and his involvement in the Local Alcohol Policy Joint Group, which has strong links to this Joint Strategy.
|
At the Māori Consultative Committee meeting A discussion on the review of the Strategy occurred. In response to a question about what Council proposes to focus on in supporting Maori as an identified target group in the Strategy, officials advised the following: · Maori have been identified as being affected by alcohol-related harm, · Council will work with target groups, such as Maori to develop approaches to addressing the target group. A number of Maori stakeholders are listed in the strategy and they will all have input to shape how Council delivers services to the target group. · the public consultation for the strategy will be open for 3 weeks and that provides an opportunity to comment on the strategy.
|
MĀori Consultative Committee's Recommendation Councillor Tapine / T Aranui That the Council resolve that the Committee’s recommendation be adopted. CARRIED
|
Councillors Wright / Wise a. That Council approve the release of the draft Joint Alcohol Strategy for stakeholder and public feedback; and b. That Council nominate the Community Services Committee Chair and Councillor Keith Price to consider any feedback jointly with the nominated Hastings District Councillors prior to the finalisation of the draft Strategy.

1. Review of Fees & Charges 2017/18

Reporting Officer/s & Unit: |
Adele Henderson, Director Corporate Services |
1.1 Purpose of Report
To consider Fees and Charges proposed for the year commencing 1 July 2017.
In response to questions from elected members, the following was clarified: · The apparent increase in the price of adopting a dog is in fact the collation of what were previously a number of separate costs; that is, the total fee has not increased but is presented differently. Council’s rate remains notably lower than purchasing a dog from the SPCA. · In relation to a specific question on charging for the Sound Shell, it was noted that this was available free of charge for community users. · The increase to the four all-day casual parking sites (from $4 to $5) was made to bring the rates in line with Council’s Parking Strategy and the leased parking rates. Particular concern was expressed at the increased parking rates for the four all-day sites, noting that the people most likely to be most affected by the change are those least likely to be able to afford an increase (for example part time workers). It was noted that Council has two remaining opportunities to consider whether to progress with the proposed increase or whether to amend it: at the second debate of this item at the Council meeting scheduled for 5 April 2017, and as part of the discussion prior to adoption of the final Annual Plan in June 2017.
|
Councillors Jeffery / Hague That the proposed Schedule of Fees and Charges for 2017/18 be adopted and form part of the supporting information for the 2017/18 Annual Plan.

Reporting Officer/s & Unit: |
Adele Henderson, Director Corporate Services |
2.1 Purpose of Report
The Annual Plan is prepared and adopted as part of the requirements from Section 95 of the Local Government Act. The purpose of this report is to propose not to consult due to there being no significant or material variances to the Long Term Plan 2015-25 for year 3.
In response to questions from elected members, the following was clarified: · Information on Pandora will be included in the Long Term Plan rather than the Annual Plan. · The Community Grants funding had been increased to $50K to address smaller requests that would usually have been received via the Annual Plan consultation process (that is, requests of up to $20K). Larger projects could now apply to the new Council Projects fund of $200K. · Criteria for assessing applications to the Community Grants fund already exist and community groups are welcome to meet with the Community Services group to discuss which fund to direct their application to. The criteria for this fund are wide enough that it would not exclude any requests that would usually have been received via the Annual Plan process. Applications are assessed by officers, with a clear separation between the assessor and the approver of nay funding. · Guidelines for the criteria for Council Projects fund application assessments could be agreed with Council in a workshop. Requests for funding for projects above $200K should be made to the Chief Executive who would direct officers to investigate and bring options to Council for discussion and assessment against other priority projects. · Information on the funds and applying to the Community Grants and Council Projects Fund would be on the Council website. · Information on all applications received and the decision made will be included in the Council Quarterly Report. · Strategies that relate to the Long Term Plan currently under development will be brought to Council as soon as possible; the Chair noted that the significant changes in staffing over the previous 12 months will necessarily have extended the time frames on such work. · A phased approach has been taken with the Multi-use Sports Facility project; the current ‘gateway’ of a decision on the business case is pending information from Sport New Zealand. A specific date cannot yet be set to bring the matter back to Council as it is unclear when the information from Sport NZ will be provided; a report will be prepared to Council as soon as possible once the information is received. In the meantime the project and funding implications will be considered under the Long Term Plan process. A seminar on the financial case for the Multi-use Sports facility is scheduled for 12 April 2017.
Support was expressed for the engagement plan, noting that it was an excellent approach to reinforce the increased opportunities for funding applications and input into Council’s long term planning. For clarity, each part of the Officer’s Recommendation was taken separately.
|
ACTION: Director Corporate Services to include information on applications received to the Community Grants fund and Council Projects fund, as well as any decision made, in the Quarterly Report.

Councillors Taylor / Hague a. That Napier City Council recognise the changes in Local Government Act 2002 consultation requirements, and do not consult on the Annual Plan 2017/18 as there are no significant or material changes to those presented in the Long Term Plan 2015-25 CARRIED |

1. Local Easter Sunday Trading Policy - Summary of Submissions

Reporting Officer/s & Unit: |
Dean Moriarity, Team Leader Policy Planning |
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.
|
COUNCIL RESOLUTION |
a. Council receive and hear submissions on the Local Easter Sunday Trading Policy. b. That Council resolve to adopt the Local Easter Trading Policy that will give all retailers the option to trade on Easter Sunday.
The division was declared carried by 7 votes to 5 votes the voting being as follows: For: Mayor, Councillors Dallimore, Hague, Price, Taylor, White and Wise Against: Councillors Boag, Brosnan, McGrath, Tapine and Wright |

3.1 Purpose of Report
To provide additional information to supplement the report to the Community 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.

a. That the Napier Aquatic Centre changes its opening hours on Saturdays to the earlier time of 9.00am, and on Sundays and public holidays to an earlier opening of 10.00am. b.

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.

6.1 Purpose of Report
To consider the Quarterly Report for the period 1 October 2016 to 31 December 2016 and the Health & Safety Report for January 2017.
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.
|
- 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. |

Councillors White / Wise a. That the Quarterly Report for the period 1 October 2016 to 31 December 2016 and the Health & Safety Report for January 2017 be received.
