p16. Annual Report Christchurch Otautahi 2010 Your Council How the Council works How the Council works Elected members Christchurch residents and ratepayers are represented by the Council and Community Boards. Elections are held every three years to select the people who will act and speak for our community. Council The Mayor and 13 Councillors govern the city and ensure the needs of its residents are met. They make decisions for Christchurch’s future, plan the way forward and are accountable for delivering what the community has identified as necessary for its cultural, economic, environmental and social well-being. In 2005, the Council asked the community what these goals should be. They are called the Community Outcomes; our residents have determined Christchurch will be: • a safe city • a city of inclusive and diverse communities • a city of people who value and protect the natural environment • a well-governed city • a prosperous city • a healthy city • a city for recreation, fun and creativity • a city of lifelong learning • an attractive and well-designed city Community Boards At a local level, eight Community Boards represent and act as advocates for the interests of their communities. Community Board members advise the Council on local needs, community views and how Council proposals will affect their communities. The Community Boards span seven wards across the city. The metropolitan wards, each represented by two Councillors and five Community Board Members, are: • Burwood/Pegasus • Fendalton/Waimairi • Hagley/Ferrymead • Riccarton/Wigram • Shirley/Papanui • Spreydon/Heathcote The Banks Peninsula ward, because of its diversity and size, is represented by one Councillor and two Community Boards – Akaroa/Wairewa and Lyttelton/Mt Herbert, each consisting of five Community Board Members. The Council organisation The Council is responsible for employing the Chief Executive – the only member of staff who reports directly to elected members. Tony Marryatt was employed as the Chief Executive of the Christchurch City Council in May 2007. He employs all the other staff in the Council. Council structure The Council’s organisational structure is designed to ensure its services are provided as effectively as possible. To achieve this, Council activities and services are divided into eight groups, each headed by a General Manager, they are: • Capital Programme • City Environment • Community Services • Corporate Services • Human Resources • Public Affairs • Regulation and Democracy Services • Strategy and Planning Within these groups, various community units are tasked with providing specific services to the community and organisation. The services and activities provided by the City Council are wide and varied, from rubbish collection, roads and water, to the Botanic Gardens, Christchurch Art Gallery, City libraries and the funding of festivals and events. These activities are grouped into 12 Council Activities and Services. Find out more about these groups in the upcoming sections: Our activities at a glance, or for an in-depth view, Council activities and services.
