6.3.2 Local board agreements

 

  1. Each year, as part of council’s annual plan or long-term plan process, each local board and the governing body is required to agree a local board agreement.

  2. The local board agreement is effectively the annual plan for each board. It sets out the local activities to be provided in the area and the board’s budget. In turn those activities reflect the priorities and preferences set out in the local board plan.

  3. Each local board agreement is developed as part of Auckland Council's annual plan. It contains a range of information [1], but must reflect the priorities and preferences in the local board’s plan with respect to:

    • the local activities to be provided in the local board area

    • a statement of service levels, performance measures and targets, together with information setting out any changes to the levels of service from the preceding year and the reasons for those changes

    • a funding statement outlining how expenses in excess of the local board’s budget are to be met

    • the responsibilities delegated to the local board by the governing body

    • the implementation or enforcement of bylaws made by the governing body at the request of a local board.

  4. All local board agreements are published as part of Auckland Council’s annual plan or long-term plan public accountability documentation [2].
