NOTICES OF MOTION
1. COMMENCEMENT OF PROCEEDINGS TO FIX
TRADE WASTE CHARGES FOR 1996/97
At its November meeting the Council adopted a recommendation made by the City Services Committee regarding the level of trade waste charges for 1996/97.
It is necessary for the proposed charges to be implemented by way of Special Order. The following resolution should therefore be adopted:
"(a) That pursuant to the provisions of section 494 of the Local Government Act 1974, the Christchurch City Council hereby resolves by way of Special Order to fix trade waste charges for the 1996/97 year as follows:
For dischargers with volume greater than five cubic metres per day:
Rate of Discharge $39.37 per annum/litre/minute
Biochemical Oxygen Demand $56.04 per annum/kg/day
Suspended Solids $53.79 per annum/kg/day
Such charges being inclusive of GST.
(b) That the Council Secretary be authorised to give public notice that the foregoing resolution will be submitted to an ordinary meeting of the Council to be held on Wednesday 26 March 1997, for confirmation by way of Special Order."
2. DEALING WITH ITEMS OF METROPOLITAN SIGNIFICANCE
To consider the following motion, notice of which has been given by Councillor Gordon Freeman pursuant to Standing Order 2.16.1:
"That the Council resolve that when an item has metropolitan significance it be referred initially to the relevant Standing Committee and subsequently to the relevant Community Board for comment."
Councillor Freeman has supplied the following note in support of his motion:
1. The terms of reference for Community Boards previously adopted by the Council provide (inter alia) that each Community Board shall have the following terms of reference:
(i) All matters requiring elected member consideration referred directly to it unless there is a clear metropolitan reason for not doing so.
(ii) Advice to Standing Committees on local implications of all metropolitan projects which have particular impacts in the community in question.
(iii) Advice to Standing Committees on local implications of such metropolitan projects which have city-wide impact as are referred to Community Boards for comment.
2. In my opinion there have been some recent examples where reports on projects of metropolitan significance have been referred in the first instance to Community Boards, rather than the relevant Standing Committee.
