Dear Mr Smithson,
I’m writing in regards to your unresolved query. My apologies that you
have yet to receive a response. The Covid-19 lockdown has meant that
Council staff are all working from home and do not have their usual access
to resources.
However, I have ensured that the relevant teams have been reminded that a
response to your request is still outstanding, and I hope to have an
answer to you once we are able to return to the office.
If you wish to complain about this delay you can find information on the
Office of the Ombudsman website: [2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
freephone 0800 802 602.

Dear Mr Smithson,
I’m writing in regards to your unresolved query. My apologies that you
have yet to receive a response. The Covid-19 lockdown has meant that
Council staff are all working from home and do not have their usual access
to resources.
However, I have ensured that the relevant teams have been reminded that a
response to your request is still outstanding, and I hope to have an
answer to you once we are able to return to the office.
If you wish to complain about this delay you can find information on the

Dear Mr Smithson,
Thank you for your patience in waiting for this overdue response. The
following has been provided by Mr John Filsell - Head of Community
Support, Governance and Partnerships.
Mr Smithson, please can I take this opportunity to thank you for your
patience over the length of time it has taken to provide this additional
information. I wish to apologise to this delay which was primarily due to
increased workloads caused by managing the implications of the COVID-19
pandemic.
Please find attached:
· A copy of Councils Code of Conduct. Appendix A. specifically
refers to the Local Authorities (Members Interests) Act 1968. Elected
members are provided with a copy and the content is discussed during
elected member induction. In the case of the current Council induction
was undertaken in October 2019. We have previously supplied a copy of the
induction process.
· A copy of the declaration requested from the Office of the
Auditor General that was circulated to all Councillors.
Please let me know if you require any further information.

Further, are any (or have they been) of the above Councillors "concerned or interested" in any contracts exceeding $25,000 with the Council for the purposes of s 3 of the Local Authorities (Members' Interests) Act 1968?
