Dear Erica Cooney,
I will pay the $300 odd to get the rest of the request completed. Please send details about how to make the payment, invoice number and so on.
Re the redaction of all names from the information provided to date. I think that this is excessive, and not in keeping with the section 5 of the Local Government Official Informaiton and Meetings Act principle of availability of information.
Section 7(2)(a) of that Act does provide for withholding of information to protect the privacy of natural persons. In my opinion, this has been used excessively in the information provided to date, such that it is difficult to understand who is giving what advice. While I understand the withholding of email addresses or phone numbers may usually be desirable, the withholding of the names of the people giving advice (in emails), or who have been part of discussions on recorded matters, or are providing letters of support or opposition to a proposal should not be deleted, as that significantly reduces accountability.
Please review the withholding of the names in the information provided to date.
Ngā mihi,
Andrew Riddell
From: Andrew Riddell
Dear Erica Cooney,
This request is now well overdue.
I have advised the District Council that I will pay the requested $300 odd to complete the Council's response to this information request.
When should I expect the information?
Ngā mihi,

From: Andrew Riddell
Dear Erica Cooney,
This request is now so overdue for a repsonse that I will be complaining to the Ombudsman.

From: Andrew Riddell
Mōrena Erica Cooney,
I have still to receive the invoice for the extra work involved in answering this request.
I suggest that you get the Council's finance department to send the invoice to this email address on the fyi site as a pdf attachment, so I can pay the invoice and you can continue with the information request.
Ngā mihi,
Andrew Riddell
From: Erica Cooney
Far North District Council
Mōrena Mr Riddell - my sincere apologies that you have not received the invoice yet; and for the frustration caused in the processing of your request. Thank you very much for the patience and consideration you have shown. I will follow this invoice up and ensure you receive this shortly.

Tēnā koe Mr Riddell
It appears likely Council will be able to locate further information
(although it may not be substantial?) from a key staff member with
knowledge of the matter. She has been away but is expected to return
early next week. I do appreciate that you have had a very lengthy wait
for a response; but I hope that you will not mind allowing us a couple
more working days to try to obtain the information you are seeking.
Thank you Mr Riddell yet again for your forbearance, and I hope to get
back to you shortly.
