The workshop ended at this point.

The following activities are to be considered at the next workshop scheduled for Wednesday 23 July, 2008.

APPENDIX A

view appendix A (187KB)

APPENDIX B:
EXAMPLE – DOG REGISTRATION

To assist in how the process will work I will step through one activity.

The activity I have chosen is Dog Registration which is part of the Regulatory Group of Activities.

Step 1. Identify the Activity.

Dog Registration is the to ensure dogs are registered in the district under the Dog Control Act but excludes the control of wandering dogs which is part of Animal Control.

Step 2.　 Benefits
Community Outcomes contributed to activity.

Refer to the Community Outcomes schedule at the back of this report.　 We need to link the activity to at least one of the outcomes.　 This activity is not straight forward.

Does the Activity generate benefits to the Community as a whole?　

The answer to this is probably Yes.　　　 A guide could be to ask what the intention of the Dog Control Act was in respect of requiring all dogs to be registered.

Does the activity generate benefits to any readily identifiable part or sector of the community and if so who are they?

The answer to this is probably Yes.　 Owners of registered dogs benefit in that if their dog becomes lost or injured etc it can be readily identified who it belongs to so it can be returned provided the dog is wearing the tag or is chipped.

Does the activity benefit individuals and if so who?

The answer to this is probably No.

So based on the above we need to determine a Public/Private split.

Does the benefit to the community exceed the benefit to the owner?

If the answer to this is Yes then it is likely that the Public Benefit would exceed 50%.

For the purposes of the example lets assume the split is 80% Public, 20% Private.

Please do not assume this is the funding split.　 It is not.　 It is solely the benefit split.

Exacerbator.

Does the action or inaction of an individual or group result in the reason for the activity or an increase in costs for the activity?

Answer definitely Yes.　 If people didn’t own dogs we wouldn’t need to carry out the function of registering them.

This fact will be used in conjunction with the Public/Private split and other factors to assess the funding.

i.e. it is likely in many cases that the public/private split will be modified by other factors to get to the funding.　 This is most likely where we can identify exacerbators.
