Dear Jim,

 

I refer to your email below.

 

Staff have considered this request and it would require a considerable
effort to identify and search for this in its current form.

 

This would require a an unreasonable amount of staff time to complete and
we would consider either refusing or charging for this request.

 

In the first instance are you able to refine your request and be more
specific in the information you require?

 

Kind regards,

 

Sean

Dear Jim,

 

To provide some context, Councillor Mauger as an elected member would have
corresponded with staff (and vice-versa) potentially thousands of times
since 2019. Each email would need to be checked to see whether it referred
to Maugers Contracting Ltd.

 

As drafted your request would require an extensive search of emails over a
prolonged period. I am unable to provide a specific time involved but it
would be considerable and certainly constitute substantial collation and
research. The Council could consider charging for this as per our charging
guidelines:
[1]https://ccc.govt.nz/the-council/plans-st...

 

However, any charge must be reasonable and given the potential time it
could take to search for this information, the cost could be substantial.

 

If you are willing to review your request and refine it, we would be
willing to asses that.

 

Kind regards,

Sean

Dear Jim

 

I refer to your official information request:

 

Please provide all emails between Councillor Mauger and Council staff

Refinement:

 

Can you, then, please provide a record of correspondence as above in the
period of 1 November 2019 - 31 March 2020?

 

Council Decision

The information you have requested is attached.

 

We have decided to grant your request. However, we have decided to
withhold a small amount of personal information under the following
section of the LGOIMA:

-          7(2)(a) – to protect the privacy of natural persons

 

In the Council's view the reasons for withholding these details are not
outweighed by public interest considerations in section 7(1) favouring
their release.

 

You have the right to request the Ombudsman to review this decision.
Complaints can be sent by email to [1][email address], by fax
to (04) 471 2254, or by post to The Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington
6143.
