Otaki TodayA new Ōtaki and Te Horo business association took a step closer with an establishment working group meeting at Anam Cara on June 28.
The meeting, attended by about 60 local business people and some elected members of council, provided an update on progress and called for membership registrations from businesses.
One attendee suggested that only IRD registered businesses should be able to apply for membership, ensuring only legitimate business people would have a say in the operations of the association.
Nomination forms for positions on the establishment committee were also available. Registered members are invited to the next meeting, at Anam Cara on July 24. This meeting will vote in a chair, treasurer, secretary and a committee of 3-4 members.
The working group would then hand over operations to the new committee, which would establish a legal entity and provide Kāpiti Coast District Council with a business plan allowing it to access about $100,000 of funding transferred from Elevate Ōtaki.
The money was originally part of a larger funding package provided by KCDC and NZTA Waka Kotahi to Elevate for promotional work during and after the expressway construction.
