Emma Barker, on behalf of the Taieri District Pony Club, spoke to their funding application seeking the costs of the New Zealand Pony Club Association South Island Show Jumping Championship which were being held in January 2018. Ms Barker indicated that contestants would be coming from all areas of the South Island and there would be 400 people staying in and around Mosgiel during the Championships. In response to questions, Ms Barker advised that there was an additional income stream from entry fees. |

Neil Gamble spoke to the funding application from the Taieri Historical Society seeking costs towards the lawn mowing and ground upkeep at the Taieri Historical Park. In an answer to a question Mr Gamble confirmed the Trust leased the lawn area from the Dunedin City Council but did not include the area around the house that was rented out. |
|
Ian Miller commented on his concerns regarding Inglis Street and in particular the first section of the Street nearest to Gordon Road which was narrower than the other parts of Inglis Street. Mr Miller commented that since the traffic lights were installed at the intersection of Inglis Street and Gordon Road traffic numbers had increased substantially thus creating safety issues due to the narrowness of the roadway. Mr Miller did not advocate ‘no parking’ lines to be installed but favoured the option of widening the street on one side. |
|
Murray Hamilton addressed the meeting raising his concerns regarding flooding and sewage problems in Carlyle Road particularly during the recent rain event in the City. Mr Hamilton advised that the pipe capacity had been increased many years ago but maintained that with the recent building expansion in Mosgiel the infrastructure was unable to handle the output in the area of Carlyle Road/Tyne Street and Silverstream Drive. The Chair advised Mr Hamilton that a Work Plan was being prepared across the whole of the City following the recent weather event and would include the areas of concern raised by Mr Hamilton. |
There were no apologies. |
Members were reminded of the need to stand aside from decision-making when a conflict arose between their role as an elected representative and any private or other external interest they might have.
There were no declarations of interest made or conflicts of interest declared.
