Motions of which notice has been given

 

IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION 16(5) OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT (MEETING PROCEDURES) REGULATIONS 2015

 

That in accordance with Council’s policy, the recommendation on the following Notice of Motion which was adopted by the Parks and Recreation Committee on 8 February 2018, be considered by the Council,

11.      Franklin Square

            File Ref: F18/10166; 13-1-9

Ref:    Open PRC 7.1, 8/02/2018

Alderman Reynolds

Motion:

That the Council requests a report seeking advice on whether the following interventions to further activate Franklin Square would be effective, affordable and in keeping with the 2014 Master Plan:

-        modifications to the area on the top of the toilets to create a more permanent and fit for purpose stage / performance space,

-        installation of community engagement facilities such as a ‘People’s Piano’,

-        and the provision of a free WiFi hotspot in the Square.

 

Rationale:

 

“Franklin Square’s refurbishment has been a great success and has given it new life. But there remain opportunities to activate the square throughout the week.

 

The area currently used as a stage by the Frankos market is not particularly well designed for this purpose, but could be with some minor modifications.

 

Many community groups running events often have to find grants to hire stage equipment, yet if Franklin Square had a more fit to purpose facility, this would reduce costs to community organisations and see more events hosted in Franklin Square.”

 

The General Manager reports:

 

“In line with the Council’s policy in relation to Notices of Motion, I advise that the matter is considered to be within the jurisdiction of the Hobart City Council as it relates to Council owned land.”

Item No. 20

Agenda (Open Portion)

Council Meeting

19/2/2018

 

 

 

Memorandum: Council

 

Proposal to Combine Community Culture and Events and Economic Development and Communications Committees

 

At its meeting on 22 January 2018, when considering the issue of combining the Finance and Governance Committees, the Council also resolved that a report be prepared on the possibility of combining the Community, Culture and Events and Economic Development and Communications Committees.

 

The Council has previously considered a restructure of Council committees, specifically to align them to the Council’s Strategic Plan.  In its consideration of this matter in December 2017, the Council resolved to defer any further consideration until the outcomes of the current community visioning exercise where known.

 

The opportunity to amalgamate Finance and Governance Committee arose in January this year at the suggestion of one of the Chairmen of those Committees.  The suggestion aligned with the current Strategic Plan which only provides for one Goal (Goal 5 Governance) addressing all governance, finance and internal service delivery matters.

 

The proposal, which was subsequently approved by the Council, reduced the total number of committee meetings Aldermen are required to attend by one per month but also brought the committee structure into closer alignment with the Strategic Plan.

 

The proposal to combine the Community, Culture and Events and Economic Development and Communications Committees would also result in a reduction in the total number of committee meetings Aldermen are required to attend by one per month, with consequential savings in administration costs.  The meeting time freed up could also be used for scheduling of workshops.

 

It does not however deliver alignment with the Strategic Plan.  The current Strategic Plan specifically provides for two Goals – Goal One Economic Development, Vibrancy and Culture and Goal Four Strong, Safe and Healthy Communities.  While not strictly aligned, the current committee structure does provide for a dedicated focus on each of economic development and community.

 

It is therefore proposed that the Council take no further action to combine these committees until after the community visioning exercise is complete.  It is understood that the Community panel will report to the Council on the outcomes of this exercise in March.

 

Should the Council wish to free up another possible night each month for workshops however, the opportunity exists to potentially hold the two committees on the same night.  During 2017, the average duration for the Community Culture and Events Committee was 45 minutes, with five meetings cancelled, while for Economic Development and Communications, average duration was 52 minutes and five meetings cancelled.

 

The meetings would still be held as two separate meetings with advertised starting times of say 5pm and 6pm.

 

The approach outlined in this memo has been discussed with the Chairmen of both committees.

 

REcommendation

That:

1.      The Council not proceed with the proposal to combine the Community, Culture and Events and Economic Development and Communications Committees at this time on the basis that it does not align with the current Strategic Plan.

2.      The matter be further considered as part of the review of Committee structure more generally after the outcomes of the community visioning exercise are known.

3.      The Council consider whether it wishes to modify the Council and Committee Meeting Schedule to provide for these two committees to occur consecutively on the same night of each month, providing the opportunity for the freed up meeting time to be used for more effective scheduling of Council workshops.

 

As signatory to this report, I certify that, pursuant to Section 55(1) of the Local Government Act 1993, I hold no interest, as referred to in Section 49 of the Local Government Act 1993, in matters contained in this report.
