The Community Manager reports:
Each year the Board has the difficult task of having to allocate its $300,000 Project Funds to a list of projects, which far exceed this amount.
In order to assist the Board, the following are suggestions on how this process could be approached.
In looking at the Board's Vision and the direction the Board has taken over the past two years, the following would appear to be priority areas (not in any order):
One suggestion the Board may wish to take up is the provision of one major facility in each ward, for example a skateboard facility. The needs of young people in the 13 - 18 age group has been identified as an issue to be addressed. This age group is more difficult to provide for than younger children and facilities and activities tend to be more costly.
Skateboarding and rollerblading appear to be long term interests for a large number of youth and the Council has provided some funding to build facilities in the city.
The Board could allocate $35,000 each for a large permanent skateboard facility in each ward on a reserve. Discussion on design and type would need to be held with the skateboarding fraternity. Also provision for different skateboarder age groups. Siting in proximity to residential properties is also an issue to be considered.
Circulated separately is a memo from Suzanne Weld giving background information on skateboard facilities and costs. The $35,000 suggested may be able to be reduced, however, for permanent facilities there would be landscaping, design and management fees to be included.
The balance of Project Funds could be directed to more minor community works/projects rather than contributing towards high cost projects and works, which could be considered next financial year as project proposals.
The following lists contain a number of works which were included on the Project Proposals list, but not picked up by the Business Units. Also some projects may be deleted by the 1998 Plan Working Party during its considerations in the week 23-27 February, and these will be tabled.

4. 1997/98 RE-ALLOCATION OF SURPLUS PROJECT FUNDS
A progress report of 1997/98 Project Funds is attached for consideration.
Re-allocation of any excess funds could meet some of the currently non-funded items.
| Youth Projects Shirley/Papanui | $10,000 |
| Year 2000 Projects | $10,000 |
| Funding could be put aside over the two years towards events, projects etc. | |
| Asian Research Follow-up | $5,000 |
| -To follow up recommendations of Research | |
| Community Networking | $2,000 |
| -To provide networking/liaison opportunity in local communities (eg St Albans Community Forum) | |
| Research | $7,500 |
| Kath Jamieson's study indicates Casebrook as an area of 'poverty' in the city. An in depth study of needs in the area is warranted. |

Edgeware Pool - Toddlers' Pool $25,000
With the review of Council pools, it is the long term plan to upgrade Papanui pool and eventually to re-evaluate Edgeware's future following operation of the new Centennial. In the meantime if the expected life of Edgeware is, say, ten years, it could be worthwhile to have a toddlers' pool included in the complex
Belfast Pool - Annual Grant $5,000
Spencerville Domain Full Sized Tennis Court and Fencing $16,000
The Residents' Association has requested this facility and has funding to put towards the project of $6,818 from the Styx Community Cultural & Recreation Fund.
Edgeware Village - Mainstreet Development $10,000
Small projects to progressively implement plan, street tree planting, seating, landscaping.
Avebury House $15,000
A report from the Community Activities Officer is attached.
10. PARKS
The Parks items marked with an * are new projects not put before the Board previously. These should probably have a lower ranking.
Champion Street Play Equipment $15,000
The Board will recall that this equipment was provided for in the 1997/98 Plan. However, it was swapped to Sheldon Park (near Pentland Estate end) as Champion was not ready to proceed. This was done on the understanding it would be reinstated in 1998/99.
St James Park - Play Equipment $25,000
Renewal of equipment programmed beyond 2002/2003.
Rutland Reserve -- Minor Landscaping and Signage $5,000
It will be some time before major development commences. The Board needs to consider the value of putting a small amount into this Reserve at this stage.
