From: john luke

Dear Dunedin City Council,

I noted,
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/dunedin-co...
https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/dcc/o...

"Correspondence provided to the Herald shows chief executive Sandy Graham wrote to Ong on Monday advising she had “temporarily changed your access arrangements to the Civic Centre until I have been able to conduct a health and safety assessment”."

""Mayor Sophie Barker presented him with a letter. Cr Ong accepted the letter, placed it back on the table, took a photo, and was then asked to leave."

"His conduct is also being investigated by a barrister after an email he sent this month about a staff member."

"He confirmed he had requested “Internal Debt & Treasury Working Material” in order to “share my expertise to council executives and staff to innovatively structure our council entities’ debt to freeze future rate rises.”"

1. I would like to request the same documents you have provided to Herald.
2. I would like to request to view the letter mentioned within the news.
3. I would like to request to view the email he sent this month about a staff member.
4. I would also like to request to view the "“Internal Debt & Treasury Working Material” mentioned within the news, which I believed Cr Ong has also requested. "He said he would now seek the material under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act."

Yours faithfully,

john luke
