The differential categories based on provision or availability of service are:

· Connected – any rating unit that is connected to a public sewerage drain.

· Serviceable – any rating unit that is not connected to a public sewerage drain but is capable of being connected to the sewerage system (being a property situated within 30 metres of a public drain).

3 Differentials Based on Provision or Availability of Service

The Council uses this matter to differentiate the water rates.

· Serviceable – any rating unit that is not supplied but is capable of being supplied by the water supply system (being a rating unit situated within 100 metres of the nearest water supply).

Minimum Rates

c) Approves that where the total amount of rates payable in respect of any rating unit is less than $5.00 including GST, the rates payable in respect of the rating unit shall be such amount as the Council determines but not exceeding $5.00 including GST.

Low Value Rating Units

d) Approves that rating units with a capital value of $3,500 or less will only be charged the general rate.

Separately Used or Inhabited Part of a Rating Unit

f) Adopts the following definition of a separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit:

"A separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit includes any portion inhabited or used by the owner/a person other than the owner, and who has the right to use or inhabit that portion by virtue of a tenancy, lease, licence, or other agreement.

This definition includes separately used parts, whether or not actually occupied at any particular time, which are provided by the owner for rental (or other form of occupation) on an occasional or long term basis by someone other than the owner.

For the purpose of this definition, vacant land and vacant premises offered or intended for use or habitation by a person other than the owner and usually used as such are defined as 'used'.

For the avoidance of doubt, a rating unit that has a single use or occupation is treated as having one separately used or inhabited part."

Lump Sum Contributions

Penalties

j) Resolves to charge the following penalties on unpaid rates:

1 A charge of 10% of the unpaid rates instalment will be added to the amount of any instalment remaining unpaid the day after the instalment due date set out above.

2 Where a ratepayer has not paid the first instalment by the due date of that instalment, and has paid the total rates and charges in respect of the rating unit for the 2019/20 rating year by the due date of the second instalment, the 10% additional charge for the first instalment shall be remitted.

3 For amounts levied in any previous financial year and which remain unpaid on 1 October 2019, 10% of that sum shall be charged, including additional charges (in any).

4 For amounts levied in any previous financial year and which remain unpaid on 1 April 2020, 10% of that sum shall be charged, including additional charges (if any).

Assessing and Recovering Rates

k) Approves that the Chief Executive Officer, General Manager Finance and Commercial, Financial Controller and Rates and Revenue Team Leader be authorised to take all necessary steps to assess and recover the above rates.

BACKGROUND

2 The rating method for the 2019/20 year formed part of the supporting documentation made available during the community engagement period of the draft 2019/20 budget.

DISCUSSION

3 The rating method for the 2019/20 year incorporates the following changes:

· An increase of $7.00 in the community services targeted rate from $233.50 to $240.50 for the 2019/20 year.

· The differential rating category previously known as “Forsyth Barr Stadium” has been renamed “Stadium: 10,000+ seat capacity”.

· The differentiated stadium: 10,000+ capacity rates have been increased for the 2019/20 year by the June 2018 LGCI of 1.8%.

Limit on "Fixed" Charging

4 Section 21 of the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 includes a limit on certain rates. In any one year, the Council may not collect more than 30% of its total rates revenue by way of:

· Any uniform annual general charge.

· Any targeted rate that is calculated as a fixed amount per rating unit or separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit (and which is not used solely for water supply or sewage disposal).

5 The Council does not use a uniform annual general charge. The relevant targeted rates for the 2019/20 year are the kerbside recycling rate, the community services rate and the drainage fixed charge. These rates equate to 25% of total rates revenue.

OPTIONS

6 The option provided is to set rates in accordance with the Local Government Act 2002 and the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 in order to provide rates funding in the 2019/20 year in accordance with the 2019/20 budget.

NEXT STEPS

7 The Council can now set and assess the rates described in its Funding Impact Statement.

LGNZ Annual General Meeting Remits and Rules

Department: Civic

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1 The Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) 2019 Annual General Meeting (AGM) is to be held on Sunday 7 July 2019, in Wellington.

2 At that meeting, consideration will be given to 24 remits that have been submitted by local authorities, have received either formal support from five councils, or support from at least one zone or sector group meeting prior to being submitted, and have been screened through the LGNZ Remits Screening Policy. The DCC delegate will vote on DCC’s behalf on each.

3 LGNZ is also proposing four changes to the LGNZ Rules, for consideration at the AGM.

4 The purpose of this report is to present the remits that are going to the LGNZ AGM, along with the proposed changes to the LGNZ Rules. It asks that Council give consideration as to whether it wishes to give pre-conference direction to the voting delegate about DCC’s support or otherwise of any of these remits and proposed rule changes.

5 As this is an administration report, there are no options or summary of considerations.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Council:

a) Decides for each of the remits presented at the Local Government New Zealand Annual General Meeting, whether Council wishes to determine DCC’s voting position for action by the delegate attending the Annual General Meeting.

b) Decides for each of the proposed changes to the LGNZ Rules, whether Council wishes to determine DCC’s voting position for action by the delegate attending the Annual General Meeting.

BACKGROUND

6 LGNZ has a Remits Screening Policy which determines which remits submitted by local authorities will be considered at the LGNZ AGM. This year, 24 remits have been accepted for consideration. Attachment A provides the details of each of those remits.

7 Since late 2018 LGNZ has consulted with members on options for changing the LGNZ Rules at Zone and Sector meetings. Attachment B provides an introduction to the changes, and Attachment C provides the detailed changes.

8 As agreed to at the Council meeting on 28 May 2019, Councillors Staynes, Hawkins and Garey will attend the AGM on behalf of Council.

DISCUSSION

9 The DCC delegates attending the LGNZ AGM will have the opportunity to vote on the remits. So that they can represent the position of Council, consideration needs to be given to each remit, and a decision made for each on whether council supports the remit proposed. Council may decide that it does not have a position on a remit, and that the delegates may make a decision at the meeting following discussion on the particular matter. It is important to note that councils speak to their remits, so delegates at the conference may be in a more informed voting position than councillors are prior to the AGM.

10 A summary of each of the remits to be considered at the LGNZ AGM is presented below:

Remit 1 – Climate change – local government representation

That LGNZ calls on the Government to include local government representation (as determined by local government) at all levels of policy development, technical risk and resilience assessment, and data acquisition on climate change response policies – with an emphasis on climate adaptation: policy; legal; planning; and financial compensation regimes.

Remit 2 – Fireworks

That LGNZ work with central government to raise the sale of fireworks issue and advocate for legislative change.

Remit 3 – Traffic offences – red light running

That LGNZ request the Government to bring into line camera and officer-detected red light running offences with other traffic offences that incur demerit points.

Remit 4 – Prohibit parking on grass berms

To seek an amendment to clause 6.2 of the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004 to prohibit parking on urban berms.

Remit 5 – Short-term guest accommodation

That LGNZ advocates for enabling legislation that would allow councils to require all guest accommodation providers to register with the council and that provides an efficient approach to imposing punitive action on operators who don’t comply.

Remit 6 – Nitrate in drinking water

That LGNZ recommend to the Government the funding of additional research into the effects of nitrates in drinking water on human health, and/or partner with international public health organisations to promote such research, in order to determine whether the current drinking water standard for nitrate is still appropriate for the protection of human health.

Remit 7 – Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (1987)

That LGNZ initiates a review of Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (1987) (LGOIMA) request management nationally with a view to establishing clear and descriptive reporting for and by local authorities that will create a sector-wide picture of:

· Trends in the volume and nature of LGOIMA requests over time.

· Trends in users.

· The impacts of technology in terms of accessing information sought and the amount of information now held by local authorities (and able to be requested).

· The financial and resource impacts on local authorities in managing the LGOIMA function.

That LGNZ use the data obtained to:

· Identify opportunities to streamline or simplify LGOIMA processes.

· Share best practice between local authorities.

· Assess the value of a common national local government framework of practice for LGOIMA requests.

· Identify opportunities to advocate for legislation changes on behalf of the sector (where these are indicated).

Remit 8 – Weed control

That LGNZ encourages member councils to consider using environmentally friendly weed control methods.

Remit 9 – Building defects claims

LGNZ calls on central government to take action as recommended by the Law Commission in its 2014 report on “Liability of Multiple Defendants” to introduce a cap on the liability of councils in New Zealand in relation to building defects claims whilst joint and several liability applies.

Remit 10 – Social housing

That LGNZ, in conjunction with central government, urgently focus on the development and implementation of a broader range of funding and financing tools in respect of community/social housing provision, than those which currently exist in the housing needs space. These should include funding to support the operation, upgrade and growth of council housing portfolios and, where a council chooses, access to Income Related Rents for eligible tenants.

Remit 11 - Procurement

That LGNZ investigate the ability of the sector to collaborate in procuring open-source designs and plans for bulk infrastructure that are largely similar, with an initial approach to look at water and wastewater treatment facilities.

Remit 12 – Single use polystyrene

That LGNZ advocates to the Government to phase out single use polystyrene.

Remit 13 – Local Government Act 2002

That LGNZ pursue an amendment to the Local Government Act 2002 to:

a) Re-number sub-sections 181 (5) and (6) to sub-sections (6) and (7); and

b) Introduce a new sub-section (5) to read: For all purposes the term “any work” in subsection 4 means any works constructed before xx Month 20xx; and includes any works that were wholly or partly in existence, or work on the construction of which commenced, before xx Month 20xx.

Remit 14 – Campground regulations

That LGNZ request the Government to amend the Camping - Ground Regulations to allow councils to approve remote camp facilities on private property, subject to any such conditions as deemed required by a council, including the condition that any approved campground is x distance away from an existing campground, unless the existing campground operator agrees to waive this condition in writing.

Remit 15 – Living wage

Wellington City Council asks that LGNZ members consider engaging with the Living Wage Aotearoa New Zealand Movement when developing policies on payment of the Living Wage.

Remit 16 – Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act

LGNZ, on behalf of its member councils ask for a review of the effectiveness of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 in reducing alcohol harm (e.g. price, advertising, purchase age and availability) and fully involve local government in that review.

Remit 17 – Greenhouse gases

Wellington City Council asks that LGNZ members collectively adopt the position that government should revise the Resource Management Act 1991 to adequately consider the impact of greenhouse gases when making decisions under that law and to ensure that the Resource Management Act 1991 is consistent with the Zero Carbon Bill.

Remit 18 – Climate change – policy framework

That LGNZ recommends to government that they establish an independent expert group to develop a new policy framework for adapting to climate change impacts as recommended by the Climate Change Adaptation Technical Working Group (CCATWG). This new expert group would be supported by a secretariat and stakeholder advisory group.

Remit 19 – Road safety

1. That LGNZ acknowledges that the New Zealand Transport Agency's (NZTA's), Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management (CoPTTM) is a comprehensive and robust document, and that NZTA ensures the CoPTTM system is regularly reviewed, refined and updated. However, in light of the recent road worker fatalities LGNZ requests NZTA, in partnership with Road Controlling Authorities (RCAs);

a) Review afresh its Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management (CoPTTM} to satisfy themselves that;

i. The document provides sufficient guidelines and procedures to ensure approaching traffic are given every possible opportunity to become aware of the worksite ahead and to respond appropriately and in a timely manner.

b) Review its CoPTTM Training System to ensure;

i. Trainers are sufficiently qualified and adequately covering the training syllabus.

ii. Site Traffic Management Supervisors (STMS's) and Traffic Controllers (TC's) are only certified when they can demonstrate competence in the application of CoPTTM.

iii. A robust refresher programme is in place to ensure those in charge of Traffic Management on worksites remain current in the required competencies.

c) Review its Site Auditing requirements to ensure the traffic management at worksites is independently audited at a sufficient frequency to ensure compliance, and that a significantly robust system is put in place to enable enforcement of compliance.

2. That LGNZ takes steps to remind its members of their duties with respect to their role as Road Controlling Authorities including;

a) Appointing and sufficiently training and resourcing a Traffic Management Coordinator to ensure their obligations under the Health and Safety Work Act 2015, with respect to traffic management, are being met.

b) Adequately resourcing and undertaking audits of road work sites to ensure compliance with CoPTTM.

Remit 20 – Mobility scooter safety

That LGNZ requests that government investigate the introduction of strengthened rules to govern the safe use of mobility scooters, particularly in relation to speed limits and registration.

Remit 21 – Museums and galleries

That central government funding be made available on an annual basis for museums and galleries operated by territorial authorities with nationally significant collections.

Remit 22 – Resource Management Act

That the selection of all independent commissioners for Resource Management Act hearings be centralised to improve independence and enhance the quality of decisions.

Remit 23 – Mayor decision to appoint Deputy Mayor

That LGNZ request the Government to amend S.41A of the LGA2002 to give Mayors the same powers to appoint a deputy mayor as held by the Mayor of Auckland.

Remit 24 – Beauty industry

That LGNZ calls on the Government to develop and implement national guidelines, policy or regulations to achieve national consistency for the largely unregulated ‘health and beauty clinic’ industry.

11 A summary of the four proposed LGNZ Rule changes is provided below:

Proposal One – Amendments to provide Te Maruata representation on National Council (including consequential amendments)

To reflect the increasing diversity of the local government family/whanau it is proposed that the Rules be amended to provide that the Chair of Te Maruata is a member of National Council, with full voting rights.

Proposal Two – Amendments to give effect to Auckland Council representation on National Council (including consequential amendments)

It is proposed that the Rules be amended to provide that Auckland Council has three seats on National Council, to be held by:

· The Mayor of Auckland (or an alternate member of the Auckland Council governing body appointed by the Mayor);

· A member of the Auckland Council governing body; and

· A member of an Auckland Council local board.

Proposal Three – Minor (administrative) substantive changes

A number of minor administrative changes to the Rules are proposed, including:

· Inclusion of community board members in the definition of Elected Member;

· The ability for National Council to appoint individuals (with full speaking rights, but no voting rights) to the National Council to provide assistance to National Council because of their training, qualifications or experience; and to ensure diversity of representation;

Proposal Four – Minor amendments to modernise and rationalise language
