At the time of writing this report Auckland had moved into Alert Level 3 and the rest of the country into Alert Level 2 from midday Wednesday 12 August to midnight Friday 14 August with 4 new cases of COVID-19 in Auckland being revealed. Recommendation It is recommended that the report is received. 1. Health, Safety and Wellbeing Three events were reported during July, two near hits involving inappropriate behaviours in the library and one medical treatment injury due to a fall. All identified actions have been completed. Work has continued on our pandemic response with PERT, while also reviewing our preparedness in case of re- escalation of alert levels at a national or regional level. Turns out this preparation was well worthwhile with a resurgence of COVID-19 announced on 11 August. On other H&S matters, conversations will be held with contract managers to understand how they are monitoring and recording the health and safety performance of our contractors, as the organisational database shows no records since December 2019. Looking Back: Review and update of the Pandemic Plan COVID-19 debrief sessions to identify learning opportunities Revise and distribute Business Continuity Plan templates Looking Forward: Departments to review/update Business Continuity Plans to include natural disasters Involvement in PERT in light of COVID-19 resurgence First Aid refresher training Wellbeing initiative for September Initiate planning for First Day Back 2021 Development of an organisational Business Continuity Plan ŌTOROHANGA COMMUNITY BOARD - AGENDA – 2 SEPTEMBER 2020 Page 1 2. Long Term Plan 2021 Council’s early engagement - “Otorohanga 2050” – took place this month with 16 drop-in sessions being held all around the district, and the start of a number of key stakeholder meetings. I managed to attend 12 of these sessions and it was great to get around the district and talk to so many different people to understand what is important to them and what their aspirations are for the future of our district. The information from these sessions is being collated and distilled into themes which will be made available to Council and the community to inform the next stage of the process, which will be focus groups on key topics. Work is progressing on our Asset Management Plans for Roading and Three Waters, and work on our Financial Strategy will start in August. 3. Three Waters Update Council is required to make a decision on whether we opt in or not to Tranche 1 of the Three Water Reforms by 31 August. A separate report is on the agenda today. 4. IANZ Audit of Building Consent Authority Two IANZ assessors were onsite from 11-13 August undertaking an interim assessment of our Building Consent Authority (BCA). This interim assessment was necessary because after our audit in August 2019 we were assessed as being a medium risk as a BCA requiring a further visit in one year instead of the usual two years. I am delighted to say that we passed the audit with flying colours. Only 8 General Non Conformances were identified (as against 20 in 2019) and these were all rectified by the time the assessors left, resulting in what is effectively a clean audit. 5. Other Meetings/Activities - LTP Drop-in Sessions: Ōtorohanga (x2), Arohena, Te Kawa, Otewa, Honikiwi, Ngaroma, Kāwhia (x2), Hauturu, Kio Kio, Maihiihi - SOLGM Executive Meeting - Kāwhia Quiz Night - Henry Dowler, Partnerships Manager, DIA - Iwi leaders meeting - LTP key stakeholders meetings - Ōtorohanga Community Board meeting - IANZ Audit entry and exit meetings - Waikato Chief Executive Forum - Nehenehenui RMC meeting - CDEM Controllers meetings - Waikato Mayoral Forum - Risk and Assurance Committee meeting Tanya Winter CHIEF EXECUTIVE ŌTOROHANGA COMMUNITY BOARD - AGENDA – 2 SEPTEMBER 2020 Page 2 ITEM 42 UPDATE ON THE ŌTOROHANGA COMMUNITY BOARD WALK AROUND ŌTOROHANGA TO: CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS ŌTOROHANGA COMMUNITY BOARD FROM: COMMUNITY FACILITIES OFFICER DATE: 2 SEPTEMBER 2020 Relevant Community Outcomes The Ōtorohanga District is a safe place to live Ensure services and facilities meet the needs of the Community Foster an involved and engaged Community Executive Summary On 8th July 2020, the Ōtorohanga Community Board walked around Ōtorohanga and complied a document identifying areas of concern or possible improvement.

  • Waipa Waters Programme: Project Information Form
    Sensitivity: General Waipa Waters Programme: Project Information Form Section 1: Key Information [Criteria 2 and 3] 1. Project Title: Waipa DC Waters Programme 2. Please provide your details: Organisation Name: Waipa District Council Entity Type: Local Government Contact Name and Role: Dawn Inglis GM Service Delivery Email Address: [email protected] Telephone: 027 554 2221 3. Please provide a very brief description of the infrastructure project: Brief description of the programme Waipa District Council has compiled a programme of projects in the Waters Activity which meet the requirements of the Crown Infrastructure Partners. These projects have been selected also because they are all key enablers for Waipa District Council to continue its journey towards compliance with standards and consents, which are key to achieving community well-being and protecting public health. These projects nominated are not currently funded as part of the current Waipa DC Long Term Plan (2018-2021 period) but were to be submitted for local funding as part of the development of the Waipa DC Long Term Plan (2021-2024). They are able to be accelerated readily to meet the funding criteria. Problem being addressed Whilst Waipa is working hard to address issues in the Waters Activities, many of the projects required to address the issues are currently unaffordable to our communities – either in part or complete projects being deferred. Waipa has a backlog of renewal work required and is also grappling with the level of capital investment needed to cater for increased residential and commercial growth in our communities. Key benefits being delivered Waipa is committed to the vision and strategy of the Waikato River Authority (Te Ture Whaimana o Te Awa o Waikato), which is focussed on restoring and protecting the health and wellbeing of the Waikato (and Waipa) River.

But it is the supplying and gathering of that material by many helpful people, which in the end makes such a record possible. Many friends have devoted time and energy in order that the story of Cambridge Methodism might he presented in permanent form. Ministers, students, newspaper proprietors, historians, Government servants, photographers, local residents and church members. All these have played their part in various Ways. A special word of appreciation is offered to Mrs Ella Carter, Mrs Grace Hall and Mr Bernard Wood, who read the original manuscript and made several helpful suggestions. Also to Mr Req Buckingham who copied many old photos, and prepared them for publication.

  • 1 Representation Review – Initial Proposal Summary Document What's It All About? Local Authorities Around the Country Are Re
    Representation Review – Initial Proposal Summary Document What’s it all about? Local authorities around the country are required to make decisions about their representation arrangements every six years, following a process contained in the Local Electoral Act 2001. One of the principles of the Act is to implement ‘fair and effective representation for individuals and communities’. The last time the Ōtorohanga District Council undertook a review was in 2018, but the Council decision in April 2021 to establish Māori Wards triggered a requirement to review arrangements again. Councils must determine whether to have wards or not, whether to elect some councillors by wards and the rest at large; if there are to be wards the proposed number; the proposed name and boundary of each ward; and the number of councillors proposed to be elected by the electors of each ward. Councils must also make decisions about Community Boards. What does Council’s Initial Proposal look like? On 17 August 2021 the Ōtorohanga District Council reviewed its representation arrangements and resolved that the following proposal apply for Council elections to be held on 8 October 2022: It is proposed that the Council comprise 9 members elected from six wards, and the Mayor elected at- large. The six wards reflect the following identified communities of interest: Ward Communities of Interest Kāwhia/Tihiroa Ward The communities of Kāwhia and Aotea together with, but not limited to, the rural areas of Oparau, Hauturu, Ngutunui, Tihiroa, Te Kawa and Honikiwi. Kio Kio/Korakonui Ward The area comprising, but not limited to, the rural areas of Kio Kio, Tokanui Crossroads, Korakonui and Ngahape.
