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.

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,

Ohakune Ratepayers and Residents' Society Inc

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 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."

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

Yours sincerely,

Ohakune Ratepayers and Residents' Society Inc

Dear Info,

I find it hard to believe your recent response stating that "Ruapehu District Council did not separately monitor or record the costs related to the development and implementation of the ATMS between 2020 and 2024", this would lead me to believe that the recent independent review (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url...) needs to be broadened to include the wider cultural and fiscal policies within RDC.

I refer you to your response at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url... and https://www.ruapehudc.govt.nz/repository... which highlighted the budgeted $100k and $125k (totalling $225k) for site investigations. Is council advising that they have no records of this spending allocated correctly?

I also refer you to response https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url... which was "TeiTei Drive Costs to 30 June 2023".

Next I refer you to the following response showing a ~$250k spend with Ree Anderson - https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url...

Questions:
1./ What code and name (in the GL (General Ledger)) does the ATMS sit within.
2./ How GL code and name does Ree Anderson invoices sit within.
3./ What projects was Ree Anderson involved in and what was the budget allocation for each of her projects and the amount paid for each.
4./ From the allocated $100k and $125k for site investigations, what GL code and name did these sit within and how much was spent out of those two approved amounts?
5./ Was any spending on the ATMS or Teitei drive social housing project, allocated to any other GL codes and if so which ones and how much?

Yours sincerely,

Ohakune Ratepayers and Residents' Society Inc
