Attachment 2: A1724813 - Bishop Suter Trust Statement of Intent 2017/18 ⇩
|
Important considerations for decision making |
|
1. Fit with Purpose of Local Government The preparation of a draft Statement of Intent and delivery of the half yearly report is a requirement of Schedule 8 of the Local Government Act. |
|
2. Consistency with Community Outcomes and Council Policy The Suter contributes to the outcome ‘Our communities have opportunities to celebrate and explore their heritage, identity and creativity’ and ‘Our communities have access to a range of social, educational and recreational facilities and activities’. Support for the NRDA contributes to the following outcomes: ‘Our Council provides leadership and fosters partnerships, a regional perspective, and community engagement’ and ‘Our region is supported by an innovative and sustainable economy’ |
|
3. Risk There is a low risk that the Statement of Intent does not deliver the outcomes expected by the Council. Officers remain in dialogue with the CCOs through the year to mitigate this risk. |
|
4. Financial impact The operation of the NRDA and the Suter Gallery is a budgeted activity for Council. The budgets allocated through the Annual Plan 2017/18 are reflected in the SOIs. |
|
5. Degree of significance and level of engagement This matter is of low significance and no further consultation is proposed. |
|
6. Inclusion of Māori in the decision making process Maori have not been specifically consulted on this matter. Iwi are represented on the Suter Trust Board. |
|
7. Delegations The Governance Committee has the responsibility for considering and making recommendations to Council on all matters relating to Nelson Council Controlled Organisations and Council Controlled Trading Organisations, including statements of intent, statements of corporate intent, half yearly reports, the appointment of directors and setting of directors’ fees. |
