Dear Ruapehu District Council,

Please could you provide us a break down of costs, both incurred, and yet to be invoice, but expected for the following.

1) Total costs for the consultation/implementationof the ATMS and all associated costs since implementation. These are to exclude costs on the already established houses listed on council website https://www.ruapehudc.govt.nz/our-facili...

2) The total costs as above, however directly associated with Teitei Drive

3) A total dollar figure of the money received from grants or subsidies to support the above

4) Please provide a total dollar figure of the possible clawbacks from point 3, for the avoidance of doubt, is there any money that has been paid to RDC that will/may need to be paid back.

5) Is there any record of FTE or man hours spent on the Teitei project from internal staff, or expenses registered against the project that may not be captured under question 1 & 2 that can be provided.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Info,

We consider your response inadequate and request a response to each individual question and the grounds for refusal.

The public deserve a response and deserve to know how much was spent on each project. This is vital for transparency and to show the public that council is fiscally responsible.

With the budget blow outs for 3 waters, housing and with the cost of living crisis and rate increases, council continue to waste rate payer funds including the suggestion on building a new hub in raetihi. With all considered we believe this to be in the public’s best interest and will be taking this complaint to the ombudsman on 30th September if we don’t receive a satisfactory answer

Yours sincerely,

Good morning,

Thank you for your email below. Councils response dated 29 May 2024 to your OIA request of 1 March 2024 for costs related to Teitei Drive to states: This decision to withhold information is subject to review on completion of negotiations.
Council intends to review this and similar requests after the annual report is released, expected to be around mid-November. The reason being, negotiations by this stage will be complete.
We appreciate your patience in the interim.

Regards
Maggie Flonk
INFORMATION MANAGEMENT MANAGER

Dear Info,

Morning,

September 18th you wrote us and stated "Councils response dated 29 May 2024 to your OIA request of 1 March 2024 for costs related to Teitei Drive to states: This decision to withhold information is subject to review on completion of negotiations.

Council has since released the Annual Report and we have had confirmation from Kāinga Ora that no negotiations or disputes currently exist with RDC; thus we expect this information to be released in full to ORS
