Announcements by the Chairperson

The Chair presented his completed Register of Interests form and noted that other members of the committee should be presented with their forms to complete. 

 

In response to the Chair’s concern on a proposal for a sinking trawler to be positioned in the reef for the use of diving, it was clarified that:

-       Any consents of this nature do not fall under Napier City Council’s purview, but are likely to fall under Hawke’s Bay Regional Council.

-       The Mayor shares similar concerns including of retaining cleanliness of the dive site.

-       Cr. Tapine as a newly appointed member on the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council planning committee will find out more about the consent and report back to the Committee.

 

Announcements by the Management

Quorum

The Mayor noted that it was often difficult to achieve quorum with the current number of members on this committee and proposed that appointing a further member may help address this. Cr Tapine advised that he anticipated that the process of reviewing the Terms of Reference of the committee, with the requisite consultation involved, may well bring the committee to the attention of more whanau and spark renewed interest in participation. It was also suggested that the meeting time could be adjusted to better meet the needs of the committee members; 3pm could be difficult to navigate with work and other commitments.

 

Tiwana Aranui joined the meeting at 3.15pm

 

Cemetery Hours

The Director City Infrastructure responded to a query regarding the cemetery operating hours that had been raised at the previous meeting.

The cemetery is open 8am – 4pm Monday to Friday, and 8am-12noon on Saturdays. It is not open on Sundays or public holidays. Burials outside of these times may take place by arrangement with the Sexton, however this will incur extra charges to cover the costs of providing the services.

It was noted that Saturdays and public holidays are particularly difficult for whanau, as the practices appropriate to a tangi take some time.

 

The Director City Infrastructure noted that no extra charges are incurred for bookings that have been made for times within normal cemetery hours and happen to take longer than the usual hours, or where parties are late as long as they arrive within the opening hours.

 

The Director will email the current cemetery hours and charges to the Committee.

 

It was agreed that the Chair and Tiwana Aranui would confirm the specific issues (for example, weighing up the costs to the marae of hosting mourners for a longer period of time compared with the extra costs of a burial out of ordinary hours).

 

Confirmation of Minutes

Councillor Tapine / Mayor Dalton

That the Minutes of the meeting held on 29 March 2017 were taken as a true and accurate record of the meeting.
