  3. Top EXTRAORDINARY BUSINESS

    3.1 EXTRAORDINARY BUSINESS - LOCAL EVENT GRANT APPLICATION - ST HELIERS BAY VILLAGE ASSOCIATION

    Moved: Davis / Roberton

    That a local event grant application from Mrs Wendy Caspersonn on behalf of the St Heliers Bay Village Association, be considered as an extraordinary item of business as item 16:

    1. The reason the matter was not on the agenda is that the application was only received on 15 June 2009 after the agenda was printed.
    2. The reason for urgency is that the 2008/2009 local event fund must be spent before 30 June 2009 and leaving this application until the July Board meeting will mean that the 2008/2009 local event fund cannot be fully allocated.

    CARRIED

    3.2 EXTRAORDINARY BUSINESS - DISCRETIONARY GRANT APPLICATION - THE KORU 2002 TRUST

    Moved: Davis / Roberton

    That a discretionary grant application from Mr Tea Ropati, on behalf of The Koru 2002 Trust, be considered as an extraordinary item of business as item 17:

    1. The reason the matter was not on the agenda is that the application was only received on 17 June 2009 after the agenda was printed.
    2. The reason for urgency being that this matter cannot be delayed to a subsequent meeting of the Eastern Bays Community Board as the project is proposed to be delivered on 16 July 2009 during the school holidays which is immediately after the 15 July 2009 Board meeting which would not give enough time to organise the cheque for the grant.
