Subject: Official Information Act request - Cost of merging or sharing IT services

Dear Carterton District Council,

This is a request under section 10 of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.

Please provide:

1. any comparative analysis held by the Council of the computer systems currently used by each council in the Wellington region including costs of provision of ICT services.

2. the estimated costs of merging existing computer systems in the various councils in the Wellington region into a single computer system for use in an amalgamated council.

3. proposals, recommendations and reports provided to the regional CEO forum on shared services for ICT and the minutes of the discussion and decisions made in response to those proposals, recommendations and reports.

4. all reports, analysis and recommendations held by the Council on participation in shared services for ICT with other councils in the Wellington region and the comparative advantages and disadvantages identified for participation.

If anything about this request is unclear, or you consider the request may be refused under section 17(f) of the Act, please contact me via the address from which this request was sent.

If the council considers that one of the reasons in section 7(2) of the Act may provide a reason for refusing any part of this request, I urge it to consider the strong public interest in enabling more effective participation by the public in the actions and decisions of local authorities and in the accountability of local authority members and officials, as described in sections 4(a)(i) and (ii) of the Act.

My preference is to receive this information electronically, as attachments to your response.

Yours faithfully,

John Jacobson

Dear Mr Jacobson

 

Thank you for your request under the Local Government Official Information
and Meetings Act 1987, received by email today, for the following
information:

 

1.       any comparative analysis held by the Council of the computer
systems currently used by each council in the Wellington region including
costs of provision of ICT services.

2.       the estimated costs of merging existing computer systems in the
various councils in the Wellington region into a single computer system
for use in an amalgamated council.

3.       proposals, recommendations and reports provided to the regional
CEO forum on shared services for ICT and the minutes of the discussion and
decisions made in response to those proposals, recommendations and
reports.

4.       all reports, analysis and recommendations held by the Council on
participation in shared services for ICT with other councils in the
Wellington region and the comparative advantages and disadvantages
identified for participation.

 

The Carterton District Council does not hold any information that meets
your request.

 

We are not party to the development of a Wellington shared ICT service,
and hold no information comparing computer systems used by Wellington
councils.

 

The three Wairarapa councils all use NCS software applications, which
covers most of the councils’ operations and administrative functions.

 

You have the right to seek a review of our response/these decisions by way
of complaint to the Ombudsman, under section 27(3) of the Local Government
Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.

 

Yours sincerely

Marty Sebire
