Public forum
Graeme Robinson
Graeme spoke in relation to the Civic and administration building and his 2011 seismic assessment report and design calculations, presented to the Chief Executive (copy of his speech attached – Appendix A).
In response to questions from Councillors, he noted the following:
· He didn’t believe that the peer review report provided to Councillors ahead of the meeting included the Civic building, only the library building.
· The Strata Group reports did not appear to be held on the property file.
· He confirmed that his report had been peer reviewed by three engineers.
· The coefficient number (sideways push on the building) does not appear to be included in the Strata Group report and he doesn’t see how they can work out whether the building will survive or not without this number.
Tyne Nelson and Emma Koch on behalf of Zero Waste Network
Tyne and Emma spoke in relation to sustainability and waste and noted that the current landfill is adequate for the time being (copy of presentation attached – Appendix B).
In response to questions from Councillors, they noted that separation of waste is key and education is important to try to change people’s view of waste. We need to help people to see it as a resource.

There were no announcements by the Mayor.
In calling for any minor matters not on the agenda, Deputy Mayor Annette Brosnan advised that she would provide an update on the Waipatiki Project at the end of the meeting.

1.1 Purpose of Report
The purpose of this report is for Council to adopt the Stormwater Bylaw 2020 having considered submissions at the Council meeting on 19 November 2019, including the issues raised and amendments requested during deliberations.
At the Meeting The Director Infrastructure Services and Manager Environmental Solutions spoke to the report and the four main amendments to the Bylaw, made following the hearing. In response to questions from Councillors, the following points were clarified: · Officers will work with people, to a degree, to assist in implementing environmental improvements at each site. · Even though the Bylaw will come into effect on 1 February 2020, timeframes for each site to make changes will depend on the scale of the operation, and contaminants etc. Council is ultimately looking for low cost quick wins in this space and plans to be reasonable in enforcing the bylaw, but not so reasonable that the same discussions are being had in 10 years’ time. · Environmental Management Plans will be required and implemented as conditional consents. · If people want to be able to use the estuary, then Council need to be seen to be leaders in this space and driving environmental change. · The Environmental Solutions team have a very busy work programme. Council will be considering their own compliance requirements but also need to look at other value-add opportunities for Napier. It would not be prudent to delay the implementation of the Bylaw until Council itself is perfectly compliant. Council will be pulling together a programme of work to identify their own compliance requirements. · Significance of non-compliance will be at the discretion of Council officers, as there may be other factors to consider, ie. quantity of stormwater may not be as serious as discharge of industrial waste into stormwater. · Council will take an educative approach initially and has procedures in place to deal with nuisance reports made by members of the public. Continued blatant abuse will be dealt with more strictly. · Any planting along waterways will need to be considered to ensure that it doesn’t negate the main purpose of waterways, being water conveyance. Councillors Simpson and Mawson left the meeting briefly at 11.10am and 11.11am respectively, and returned at 11.13am. · Council’s piped network is required to meet a one in 10 year event. The rainfall in that time period may change, but we won’t know that until it happens. Network models do however take into consideration increased growth in the City.
ACTION: Council officers to assess their own compliance requirements and consider these against other priorities in the current work programme.

Council resolution |
That Council: a. Confirm, in accordance with Section 155(2) of the Local Government Act 2002, that the Stormwater Bylaw 2020 is the most appropriate form of bylaw and it is satisfied that no issues arise under the Bill of Rights Act 1990. b. Adopt the Stormwater Bylaw 2020. c. Authorise officers to notify submitters and the public that the bylaw has been adopted and will become operative on 1 February 2020.

At the Meeting The Team Leader Governance spoke to the report noting that an annual meeting schedule has been proposed for a number of reasons, including that the Council is currently being hosted by Hawke’s Bay Regional Council, an arrangement which is renegotiated each year. A number of Councillors noted their approval of the new meeting start time. In response to questions from Councillors, the following points were clarified: · The live stream is accessible directly via Council’s Facebook page. A new YouTube channel is currently being created to store the videos and a new link will replace the current link in order to access these via the Council website. · Joint committee meetings are held in the internal Council calendar. · Some flexibility (for example in week five of the meeting cycle) could be given in order to accommodate meeting/seminar free weeks for those Councillors wanting to take leave without needing to put in their apologies.

3.1 Purpose of Report
To present options in relation to a potential childcare allowance for elected members, in line with the Remuneration Determination 2019/20.
At the Meeting The Team Leader Governance spoke to the report. In response to questions from Councillors, the following points were clarified: · The officer’s recommendation of $2,000 per eligible child per year was based on around 50 meetings/seminars per year at around $20 per hour.

Au pairs and full time care are not covered. The reimbursement is intended to cover ad hoc in home care. A substitute motion was proposed by Deputy Mayor Brosnan with the substantial change being an increase to the maximum of $6,000 per eligible child. A robust debate followed with all but two Councillors speaking to their position on the matter, and when put to a vote, the motion was lost. The officer’s recommendation was then put, subject to a minor amendment, being that Council authorised events be included. The amended motion was carried, with three Councillors voting against the motion. |

8.1 Purpose of Report
To provide Council with the annual resident satisfaction survey and to outline how this survey fits into council’s planning and reporting framework.
At the Meeting Dr Virgil Troy addressed Council as the successful tenderer to undertake this research for Council on a quarterly basis. He highlighted the differences in the new process from what had previously been undertaken. In response to questions from Councillors, the following points were clarified: · There have been a number of iterations to this report; it would be possible to break the result down further into wards to line up with the ward only structure of Council. Dr Troy noted that it may be more appropriate to include this data as an appendix. · The survey is ultimately around satisfaction levels for Council services. The questions are very similar to the previous survey, just reported back to Council differently. It was noted that the officer’s recommendation should be amended to note the increase of satisfaction levels, overall.

Officer’s Recommendation That Council: a. Note that satisfaction ratings and targets are part of Council’s planning and performing framework as outlined in the Long Term Plan 2018-28. b. Note the key findings of the annual Resident Survey 2019. i. That there are areas where Council has received very high satisfaction ratings from the community, particularly there has been an increase in overall satisfaction ratings across all over Council’s services from 2018. ii. That there are some areas where Council has received low satisfaction ratings from the community, and come under the NZ benchmark rating c. Note that it may wish to consider the Satisfaction Survey in the development of the Annual Plan 2020/21.

5. Civic Building Demolition
Type of Report: |

Legal Reference: |
Local Government Act 2002 |

Reporting Officer/s & Unit: |
Paulina Wilhelm, Manager City Development |
5.1 Purpose of Report
To seek Council approval to demolish the Civic building in 2020. Officers also propose investigating if there are any cost savings in demolishing the Library building at the same time and reporting the findings back to Council for considering the future plans for the Civic Precinct Area (the area including the civic building, the library building and the civic court, refer to attachment). It is noted that no decision has been made on the future of the Library building at this time.
At the Meeting The Director City Strategy and Manager City Development spoke to the report and provided some context around matters raised during the public forum by Mr Robinson. It was reiterated that this report is not about the seismic evaluation of the building, but follows on from the previous Council’s Statement of Proposal in line with the desire to no longer retain the Civic Building site but rather divest it for commercial purposes. Some further background was provided for the benefit of the new Councillors. Council officers confirmed they are confident that potential hotel developers are not interested in the Civic Building remaining on that site for their purposes. They also confirmed that Council is currently in negotiations with hotel developers in relation to the site; at this time it has not been confirmed whether the site will be sold or leased. It was noted that the building remaining on that site is causing a “ghost town” effect on that part of town and the site needs to be prepared for the next commercial venture that will occupy the site, whatever that might be.
The meeting was adjourned at 12.58pm, in order to allow the Audit and Risk Committee meeting to be opened on time and adjourned until after the Council meeting had closed, and to allow for a brief lunch break.
The meeting reconvened at 1.31pm.
In response to questions from Councillors, the following points were clarified: · Council officers did not believe there would be any harm in deferring a decision at this stage; however, the longer the building remains on the site, the more this contributes to the “ghost town” effect to this part of the CBD. · There is not requirement to do anything with the Civic building from a safety point of view currently. · The business case referred to the latest report, as a matter of standard practice. It would be unusual to include every report over all time on the same subject matter. The latest report is assumed to cover all issues up to that moment in time, including issues raised previously. · Council officers were unaware that the Strata Group report might be considered contentious. As far as the library building only being peer reviewed, this was due to timing and what was able to be done overnight as the matter was only raised with officers the day before. The focus was particularly on the library building as officers were shocked at how low the building had rated.
It was proposed that the item lay on the table for the next Council meeting scheduled for 19 December 2019, to allow Council officers to provide further background information to Councillors ahead of making the decision. ACTION: Costings around refurbishment of the Civic Building to be provided to Councillors, ie. why was refurbishment ruled out.
|
|
|
Officer’s Recommendation That Council: a. Approve going to tender for the demolition of the Council Civic Administration building in 2020 and ring-fence the associated costs of demolition to be recovered from the future use of the site either through the sale or a long term lease. |
Council resolution Substitute motion |
That Council: a. Agree that the Civic Building Demolition report should lie on the table to be brought to the next ordinary meeting of Council, set down for 19 December 2019. |

9.1 Purpose of Report
The purpose of this report is to obtain a resolution of Council to allow trading in a public place to occur at Napier City Council, Napier City Business Inc and Art Deco Trust events in Napier city until the end of October 2022.
At the Meeting The Strategic Planning Lead spoke to the report, noting it is an extension of the resolution made in February 2019, allowing trading at events held by Council, Napier City Business Inc. or Art Deco Trust within the City centre. It was suggested that Dickens Street be included in the resolution; it was noted that this had only been omitted due to there being no request for events held in this location to date. A number of Councillors raised concerns around waste disposal at these events and a discussion was held around the challenges faced by event organisers in the waste minimisation space. In response to questions from Councillors, the following points were clarified: · As the sound shell is reserve land, applications for events in this area should be considered on a case by case basis. · It was noted that any specific events held under this authorisation where there were problems could be reported back to Council.
ACTION: That Council officers communicate Council’s expectations around waste management with event organisers.

Officer’s Recommendation That Council: a. Resolve to allow the sale of food and beverages to the public on public land within the city centre as part of events held by either Napier City Council, Napier City Business Inc or Art Deco Trust for a maximum of 18 events per year until 31st October 2022 in accordance with the criteria below: i. Trading must occur as part of an event or pop-up event. ii. Trading must not occur for more than five hours at any one time, with the exception of events held by the Art Deco Trust where trading is limited to the length of the festival. iii. Trading must only occur within the street reserve (not on reserve land). iv. Trading of food and beverages only. v. Permission must be obtained from both the Transportation Team Leader and Napier City Council Chief Executive. vi. The views of retailers will be taken into consideration prior to approving an event. vii. Trading is limited to the following streets: Hastings Street; Market Street; Tennyson Street; Emerson Street; Dalton Street; Clive Square East; Herschell Street; Marine Parade. viii. The usual road closure procedures will be followed if road closures are deemed necessary. ix. Council will operate within the Joint Alcohol Strategy and will use the Alcohol Decision Matrix in considering whether it is appropriate to allow the sale of alcohol at these events. x. Trading must comply with all regulations including the Food Act 2014 and the Sale and Supply of Alcohol 2012, as well as Council regulations and policies.
