Subject: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - Attendance records of
Governing Body 2022-2025

Dear Auckland Council,

I note that Auckland Council publishes some of the attendance information
on their website:
[2]https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/abou...

Attendance by local board members is provided for the entire 2022-2025
electoral term, but only the last three months are available for the
Governing Body at any given time.

Under "Governing Body and committee attendance records" the page states
"We publish these attendance records monthly, with three months’ worth of
records being shown at any one time."

I've attempted to look back at previous versions of this page but there
appears to be gaps in the data for the Governing Body (particularly during
2023).

I am therefore (under LGOIMA) requesting:

1) an explanation as to why Auckland Council reports the attendance for
Governing Body differently than Local Boards, with Local Boards having all
information displayed at all times? What is the justification for
publishing this information differently?

2) the full attendance records for all members of the Governing Body (by
quarter) for the entire 2022-2025 electoral term. I would prefer this in a
spreadsheet if possible, or a table format like the local board
information.

3) confirmation if there was there a lapse or gap in publishing this
information at any time during 2022-2025 term? And if so, why and for how
long?

Yours faithfully,

Damian Light
