Subject: RE: Greater Wellington's Response to Official Information Request
(OIA 2018-138)

 

Dear Michaela Lloyd,

 

Thank you for the workshop documents.  They do assist in understanding how
the new GWRC Transport Rates Policy was decided but not why the new
Transport Rates Policy was decided.  Therefore the provided information is
helpful but does not provide the information that was requested. 

 

Firstly, could the GWRC please provide a proper PDF formatted version of
the previously provided documents as the information in these documents
cannot be searched or cut/pasted?

 

Part of my interest is whether the GWRC considered the cost of providing
bus and rail services to the different Territorial Local Authorities. 

 

Can a copy of any information on costs of bus and/or rail services to the
different Territorial Local Authorities used in any part of the GWRC R&F
Policy for the 2018-28 Long Term Plan please be provided?

 

Can I please also have a copy of any independent transport advice or
independent peer review provided to this the GWRC R&F Policy Review?

 

With respect to the documents provided, I would ask for some of the
information referred in them that would probably help:

 

RE Attachment 1: Presentation 28 July 2017 LTP Finance Working Group
Workshop: This outlines four initial options as well as the “Assessment of
the Option” framework and “Next Steps” stated to be “Model PT Rate
Options”.

 

Can I please have a copy of the meeting agenda and minutes of 28 July 2017
LTP Finance Working Group Workshop?

 

Can I please have a copy of the results of the Modelling of the four PT
Rate Options as outlined as the next step to the 28 July 2017 LTP Finance
Working Group Workshop?

 

Can I please have a copy of the final “Assessment of the Option” ratings
for each of the four options as outlined as the next step to the 28 July
2017 LTP Finance Working Group Workshop?

 

Attachment 2: Discussion Paper Council Working Group 20 September 2017
Public Transport Review of Revenue Financing Policy: This document
outlines two options for further consideration as well as the initial
Benefit Ratios for different ratepayer groups under the “Level of Benefit
Option”.  It states “These suggested differentials were derived in a
series of workshops with economics, policy, finance, and public transport
staff, exploring the relative benefits and impacts of public transport”.

 

Can I please have a copy of the meeting or management decision that
eliminated two of the initial four options as well as the assessing
information on which this decision was based?

 

Can I please have a copy of the meeting agendas, presentation information
and minutes for the “series of workshops with economics, policy, finance,
and public transport staff, exploring the relative benefits and impacts of
public transport”?

 

Can I please have a copy of the spreadsheet (or spreadsheets) used to
create the charts (or figures) in this report?

 

Attachment 3: Discussion Paper Council Working Group 18 to 19 October 2017
Revenue Financing Policy: This includes a reference that the GWRC had
“developed a dynamic model so that we can demonstrate the aggregate rating
impacts of the new policy options that are under discussion.  The model
will be available for use at the Council workshop on 29 November”.

 

Can I please have the “dynamic model” referred to in this report?

 

Attachment 4: Discussion Paper Council Workshop 29 November 2017 Revenue
Financing Policy

Can I please have a copy of the spreadsheets used to create the bar charts
in the PT Rates section of this report?

 

Attachment 5: Presentation Council Workshop 29 November 2017 Revenue
Financing Policy

Can I please have a copy of the workshop agenda and minutes including the
“further information requested by councillors” referred to in the December
report?

 

Attachment 6: Discussion Paper Council Workshop 13 December 2017 Revenue
Financing Policy

Can I please have a copy of the legal advice received on the PT Rates
changes?

 

Attachment 7: Presentation 8 February 2018 LTP Council Workshop

Can I please have a copy of the spreadsheets used to create the bar charts
in the PT Rates section of this report?

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Ben Hassall

Dear Michaela Lloyd,

 

Thank you for the response.

 

1a) Can the GWRC please provide the documents previously provided in the
original MS Word, MS Powerpoint, etc format instead of PDF?

 

I would also note for the future provision of further documents that I
would prefer the GWRC provide them in the original MS Word, MS Powerpoint,
Excel, etc. format in which they were created or received.

 

4a) and 8a) For the sake of clarity, I must note that in asking for
meeting/workshop agenda and minutes, I also request a the time & place of
the workshops as well as a list of all who attended these workshops.

 

Also, thank you for providing the model spreadsheet.

10a) Can the GWRC please confirm this is the model that was available for
use "at the Council workshop on 29 November [2017]"? 

10b) The provided model spreadsheet also links to a spreadsheet called
"Draft Annual Plan (7).xlsx".  As some of the information in this model is
from this other spreadsheet, can the GWRC please provide a copy of this
linked spreadsheet?

 

13a) Finally, the GWRC response states "13. A legal review of the revenue
and financing policy including PT was completed by Simpson Grierson. This
is attached."  However, this information is not attached. Can the GWRC
please provide this information in the MS Word or other original format in
which it was provided to the GWRC?

Dear Michaela Lloyd,

Thank you for providing the documents and agenda information on the Councillor workshops.

Firstly, I am yet to receive the following requested information outlined in my reply of 27 August 2018:

4. RE Attachment 1: Presentation 28 July 2017 LTP Finance Working Group Workshop: This outlines four initial options as well as the “Assessment of the Option” framework and “Next Steps” stated to be “Model PT Rate Options”.
Can I please have a copy of the meeting agenda and minutes of 28 July 2017 LTP Finance Working Group Workshop?

- I am yet to receive a copy of the workshop minutes as requested on 27 August 2018.

6. Can I please have a copy of the final “Assessment of the Option” ratings for each of the four options as outlined as the next step to the 28 July 2017 LTP Finance Working Group Workshop?

- I am yet to receive a copy of the "Assessment of the Option" ratings for each of the options as requested on 27 August 2018.

7. Attachment 2: Discussion Paper Council Working Group 20 September 2017 Public Transport Review of Revenue Financing Policy: This document outlines two options for further consideration as well as the initial Benefit Ratios for different ratepayer groups under the “Level of Benefit Option”. It states “These suggested differentials were derived in a series of workshops with economics, policy, finance, and public transport staff, exploring the relative benefits and impacts of public transport”.
Can I please have a copy of the meeting or management decision that eliminated two of the initial four options as well as the assessing information on which this decision was based?

- I am yet to receive a copy of the meeting or management decision that eliminated two of the initial four options as well as the assessing information on which this decision was based as requested on 27 August 2018.

Furthermore, in regards to my question 8, I asked for:

“The meeting agendas, presentation information and minutes for the “series of workshops with economics, policy, finance, and public transport staff, exploring the relative benefits and impacts of public transport”, including the time and place of the workshops as well as a list of all who attended these workshops.”

The GWRC response was “The series of workshops referred to did not have agendas and were not minuted.”

As for the Councillor workshops, I ask for and want to know what information the GWRC does have about “series of workshops with economics, policy, finance, and public transport staff".

A) For each of these “workshops with economics, policy, finance, and public transport staff", can you please provide the date/time, location, attendees and any workshop information provided to the attendees (either before, during or after the workshop)?

B) It is disappointing that no minutes were kept of the workshops but could I also please have a copy of the meeting notes from these workshops that were used as the basis of the information in Section 6.4 of the 20 September Councillor Workshop discussion paper?

Thank you again.

Yours sincerely,

Ben Hassall

Furthermore, in regards to my question 8, I asked for:

 

“The meeting agendas, presentation information and minutes for the “series
of workshops with economics, policy, finance, and public transport staff,
exploring the relative benefits and impacts of public transport”,
including the time and place of the workshops as well as a list of all who
attended these workshops.”

 

The GWRC response was “The series of workshops referred to did not have
agendas and were not minuted.”

 

As for the Councillor workshops, I ask for and want to know what
information the GWRC does have about “series of workshops with economics,
policy, finance, and public transport staff".

 

A) For each of these “workshops with economics, policy, finance, and
public transport staff", can you please provide the date/time, location,
attendees and any workshop information provided to the attendees (either
before, during or after the workshop)?

 

B) It is disappointing that no minutes were kept of the workshops but
could I also please have a copy of the meeting notes from these workshops
that were used as the basis of the information in Section 6.4 of the 20
September Councillor Workshop discussion paper?

 

Your request is being followed-up and a reply will be sent to you shortly.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Darrell Young
