Election of Deputy Chairperson

Department: Civic

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1          Trevor Johnson has tended his resignation as the Board’s Deputy Chairperson (Attachment A).

2          As a result, the Board needs to appoint a Board Member as the Deputy Chairperson.

3          Schedule 7, Clauses 25(2) and (3) of the Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Act 2004 requires that the Board must determine by resolution that a person be elected or appointed by using one of the following systems of voting:

·        System A: A candidate for Chairperson or Deputy Chairperson is elected if they received the votes of the majority of members present and voting.  If there is no successful candidate in three rounds of voting (from which the candidate with the fewest votes is excluded on each round).  In any round of voting, if 2 or more candidates tie for the lowest number of votes, the person excluded from the next round is resolved by lot.

·        System B: A candidate for Chairperson or Deputy Chairperson is successful if they received more votes than any other candidate and if a tie occurs, it is resolved by lot.

4          At its inaugural meeting, the Board adopted System B for the voting of the Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson. 

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Board:

 

a)     Decides the Voting system for the appointment of the Deputy Chairperson

b)     Considers the appointment of a Board Member as Deputy Chairperson.

He Purapura Marara - Scattered Seeds Digital Archive Community Project

 

The Dunedin Public Libraries have received funding from the National Libraries Partnership Programme to begin a digital community engagement project entitles “Save Our Stories”.  Staff would appreciate the Board’s assistance to reach out to communities across Dunedin.

Staff propose offering outreach visits to communities, where they can learn more about the archive and talk to them about their stories or materials they would like to contribute to the archive.   We can also provide a pop-up digitisation service where people can bring their memorabilia for scanning and will also teach them how to use the archive to tell their stories. 

 

A link to the website has been attached for your information https://dunedin.recollect.co.nz/

 

The Digital Outreach Coordinators (Kay Mercer and Jill Bowie) will be in attendance to introduce the He Purapura Marara - Scattered Seeds Digital Archive Community Project to the Board.

*All the costs for the Community Awards have now been received.  At its 11 August 2021 meeting, the Board allocated $930.00 towards this project.  The cost was only $730.79 so the difference of $199.21 has been added to balance remaining in the Project Fund for allocation.


 

Otago Access Radio

3          OAR FM have extended another invite to the Board to continue to take part in the “Round the Boards” feature segment.  The cost for participation is $79.99 for 4 sessions (to 30 June 2022) (Attachment A).

Long Beach Domain

4          Parks and Recreation staff have been asked by a Long Beach resident, to considering options to improve parking availability at the Long Beach Domain.

5          Staff met onsite with the resident to discuss the availability of carparks during peak periods and restrictions on vehicle access to reserve spaces in accordance with the Reserves and Beaches Bylaw 2017.  A petition was presented to staff showing support for the removal of restrictions that prohibit vehicle access to the grassed areas of the Domain.

6          Staff are exploring options that meet the requirements of the Reserves and Beaches Bylaw, provide sufficient parking space during peak periods, and have a minimal impact on the Domain’s green space.

Dunedin City Council draft 2022/23 Annual Plan

7          The draft 2022/23 Annual Plan (“the draft Plan”) is an update of year two of the 10 year plan 2021-31.  This year, the draft Plan proposes no significant changes to the 10 year plan, and there are no engagement topics requiring specific feedback.  Because there are no significant changes, Council has no legal requirement to consult on the draft Plan, and as such, a consultation document will not be prepared.

8          Council has however decided that an engagement process will still be undertaken.  With the uncertainty of COVID in the community and taking into consideration the challenges for staff in the planning of face-to-face engagement events, a different approach to engagement will be taken.

9          Engagement will focus on providing updates to the community on how Council is tracking against key 10 year plan 2021-31 projects, and for the community to provide feedback to Council more generally.  A mixed method approach to engagement that utilises both online digital content as well as print-based engagement practices will be undertaken.

10        In planning the engagement approach, staff have taken into consideration community diversity, youth, and Māori and Pāsifika.  Staff have also considered accessibility of both print media and online social media platforms. Taking this all into account, the proposed tools for community engagement will include:

a)         Creating digital content and producing a series of short videos to tell the story of key decisions and progress on current projects

b)        Proactive use of social media platforms to share digital content

c)         Proactive media releases

d)        Advertising in print media

e)        DCC Website including updating DCC’s ‘The Future of Us’ webpage

 

11        We appreciate that our Community Boards can effectively reach their local communities through their networks.  As content is developed, the information will be sent through to all Community Boards, for sharing with your communities.

12        The community will be able to provide feedback through online processes, social media, in writing, and via emails.  The feedback period will run from 31 March to 22 April 2022.  Hearings will be held where the community can speak directly to Council via zoom, scheduled to start on 2 May 2022.  All feedback will be collated, analysed, and reported back to Council for its consideration at the deliberations meeting scheduled to begin on 23 May 2022.

13        Community Boards are invited to provide feedback to Council and present their views at the hearing.

Correspondence
