Communications re: GM operations and/or GM operations and optimisation
Simon Veritas made this Official Information request to Auckland Council
Auckland Council did not have the information requested.
From: Simon Veritas
Dear Auckland Council,
The purpose of this request is to evalute adherence to Sch7(36)(2)(c) of the Local Government Act that states:
"the impartial selection of suitably qualified persons for appointment"
As such, can you provide me with any communications since June 2019 between the Director of Council Regulatory Services (Hobbes) and the substantive (rather than acting) General Manager of Regulatory Engineering (Tyson) that discussed:
* The General Manager Operations role for Regulatory and/or
* The General Manager Operations and Optimisation role for Regulatory;
To reduce time, this can be email comms only and comms that refer to the potential functions and required capabilities of the role.
Yours faithfully,
Simon Veritas
Auckland Council

Dear Grace Ray,
Thank you for your information relating to the proposed restructure and the new position.
Per my original request, I was after any and all communications since June 2019 that refered to both the either the final position or the earlier descrbied "GM Operations" that was mentioned at several roadshow presentations. As such, can you please ensure your subsequent reply includes any earlier communications, and if not, can you confirm that this means there was no communications between the two related to the position at any time since June 2019?
To clarify, this is not about the formal proposal itself but also any discussions held before then that effected the design of the position.
Yours sincerely,
Simon Veritas
