Mayor and Councillor attendance this term

aimee w made this Official Information request to Auckland Council

The request was refused by Auckland Council.

From: aimee w

Dear Auckland Council,

Could you please provide, in table form (.csv or .xls or .xlsx), a detailed breakdown for the mayor and all councillors, per meeting, of:
- councillors in attendance
- apologies
- late arrivals (and what constitutes that), and
- early departures (and what constitutes that) for all council meetings for the 2013 triennium, to date?

Further, could that table contain data on which meetings were considered mandatory for councillors, and which were considered optional?

For context, I'm looking to reproduce the analysis in the blog post below: https://medium.com/quicksand/how-many-me...

Thanks so much!

Yours faithfully,

aimee w

Dear Auckland Council,

Thank you for responding :) A small point of clarification - how are early departure/late arrival defined (ie what's the bar, if any?).

Yours sincerely,

aimee w

Dear Ms Whitcroft

 

Rebecca Rowsell here from the Privacy & Official Information Team at
Auckland Council.

 

Thank you for your follow-up email regarding meeting attendance by elected
members.  As noted at paragraph 5 of the letter of response from my
colleague Leigh Collecutt (see attached):

 

"...Late arrivals are considered to be the arrival of a member after the
apologies have been read. This is usually the third item on the agenda.
Early departures are any departures prior to the close of the meeting...".

 

Kind regards
