7.2 Jim Boyes - Police presence on the peninsula Mr Boyes, resident of Ōmokoroa, addressed the Board as follows: He was aware the Ōmokoroa Community Policing Trust had long sought a greater Police presence on the peninsula. On that basis, he considered the Trust would support Cr Murray-Benge’s presentation to the Board, which he also, personally, supported. With the Community Board and the Trust’s combined efforts, some action may be forthcoming. The Chairperson thanked Mr Boyes for speaking. 7.3 Chris Dever – Concerning Behaviours – Roundabout – Foreshore maintenance Mr Dever, resident of Ōmokoroa, addressed the Board as follows: Behaviours from some factions of the community were inexcusable, for example, driving along a road knocking down letter boxes. This caused unnecessary community tension. He was concerned that the major roundabout to connect the peninsula to the State Highway(SH) would not be completed until 2025. This was too long for residents who were already queuing to enter the SH, having to wait for many cars to pass before being let into the line of traffic. In relation to Community Reserve Expenditure, he sought more funding towards foreshore maintenance, particularly by the reserve between the toilets and slipway. He felt that no one had gone on site and made a proper assessment. Cr Grainger gave a brief explanation of the function of the Community Reserve Expenditure account. The Chairperson thanked Mr Dever for raising topical matters, especially relating to weather. He noted these were extraordinary times and weather related issues were having significant impacts on people’s lives. The Board considered the community could help itself, by voluntarily attending to small tasks rather than phoning Council, which was currently dealing with major issues in the area. 8 Minutes for Confirmation
