Late Items

Moved Grant Smith, seconded Tangi Utikere.

RESOLVED that the following late items be accepted for consideration.

1. Changes to Councillor Portfolios

The reason why this report is late is because advice was being sought on appropriate membership of portfolios. This report is urgent as portfolios are to start as soon as possible in the New Year.

2. Award of Contract 3735 - Streets for People, Square East Stage 2 (Part II)
The reason why this report is late is due to the need to complete negotiations with the tenderer on the two delivery options presented in the report. The report is urgent as the award of tender, if delayed until February, would mean that the optimum construction season window post-Christmas will be missed.

Presentation - Horizons Regional Council

Councillor Aleisha Rutherford left the meeting at 9.45am

Ged Shirley and Kelly Curry of Horizons Regional Council made a presentation regarding the proposed launch of the new bus ticketing system (‘Bee’ card) in Palmerston North and the region.

This would be the first step in a national travel card system, which would operate across nine regions when fully implemented. The card would operate on a tag on, tag off basis (like Snapper cards in the Wellington region) with a website where users could top up card balances, etc. Concession cardholders would be able to get their concession loaded on to their new Bee card and would be informed of this new process.

Horizons had rolled out Bee card in Whanganui, and the lessons learnt would inform the planned roll out in Palmerston North; go live is planned for early in February 2020. This new system would enable improved data analysis which would be used to plan services and improve efficiency.

Collateral would follow with targeted advertising for different user groups. Elected Members would be asked to assist as ‘am-bus-adors’ in the near future.
