"The purpose of this report is to start the legal procedures necessary to stop two portions of legal road. The owners at Stout Street have approached the Council and asked if they can purchase the redundant road and road widening adjoining the frontage of their property. Under the Waimairi Transitional District Scheme this land is no longer required for widening purposes and after the necessary road stopping action could therefore be sold. Negotiations between the adjoining owners and the Property Unit for purchase have been satisfactorily concluded subject to a successful road stopping procedure. The plan is attached. The road to be stopped is not formed as road but is vacant land. The adjoining owners have not yet built on their land. Prior to sale the following resolution is necessary to initiate the stopping action: Resolution Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 319 (h) and 342 of the Local Government Act 1974, the Christchurch City Council hereby resolves to stop those portions of road as shown on the plan and described in the Schedule hereto. Reason for the Road Stopping

Parcel A is to be amalgamated with their certificate of title pursuant to Section 345 (2) of the Local Government Act 1974. Parcel B is a stand alone parcel. Parcel A is situated alongside No 6 Stout Street and is 2.06 metres in width.

"The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval for the revocation of a scenic reserve at 405 New Brighton Road (plan attached). BACKGROUND
The Council in 1995 purchased the above property held in two titles one of which is required for the proposed green corridor between the Travis Swamp and the Avon River. The eastern title being vacant land was gazetted as Scenic Reserve while the western title containing a residential dwelling was disposed of by public auction in terms of the Council's recommendation. In view of the proximity of the dwelling to the eastern boundary (two metres) the prospective purchasers were advised the Council would consider an application from the successful bidders to acquire the 3 metre wide strip of land shown marked "A" on the attached plan, for amalgamation with their property title (for the sum of $9,000 to enhance the dwelling as assessed by the Council's valuer). The successful bidders for the property have advised they now wish to take up this option. As this area is now held by the Council as Scenic Reserve it will be necessary to pass the following resolution prior to the disposal. RESOLUTION
Pursuant to Section 24 of the Reserves Act 1977 the Christchurch City Council hereby resolves to make an application to the Minister of Conservation to revoke the reservation over the land described in the Schedule hereto and subsequently dispose of the land to the adjoining owners for amalgamation with their property title. SCHEDULE
All that parcel of land containing 192m2 or thereabouts being Part Lot 1 DP 55046 Lot 24 DP 36901 being part of the land contained in Certificate of Title 40B/74 (Canterbury Registry) as shown marked "A" on plan S2614 annexed hereto." Recommendation: That the above Resolution be adopted, subject to a restricted covenant being imposed on the Title to the effect that no building will be permitted on the portion of land.

1. That a gallantry award be established as part of the current Civic Awards scheme as suggested and using the following principles: (a) The award should be a secondary award to the National Honours and those awarded by the Royal Humane Society. (b) They should be a local recognition distinct from the Civic Awards. (c) Should recognise a single act of selflessness at an individual level. (d) Be for service beyond the call of duty. (e) The incident should relate to people not directly related to the proposed recipient and be or an action which was spontaneous and placed their own life at some risk.
