Response
 
Staff have provided the following information:
 
1.       The Christchurch City Council does not keep a record of staff
 time in this way. Therefore we are refusing this part of your request
 under the following section of the LGOIMA: 17(e) – the information
 requested does not exist
 
2.       The Christchurch City Council does not keep a record of staff
 time in this way and subsequently the cost of the hours is not recorded.
 Therefore we are refusing this part of your request under the following
 section of the LGOIMA: 17(e) – the information requested does not exist
 
3.       The Christchurch City Council does not keep a record of costs in
 this way. However we would estimate that we have spent time on:
 
·         Paving cleaning (testing) - approximately one hour
·         Discussions, signage, and exploring how best to deal with the
 scooters in spaces such as the Botanic Gardens - approximately three hours
·         The Rangers as part of their day may spend between 15 minutes
 and up to 1 hour talking to customers and users
 
4.       Revenue during the trial period was $136 for a permit application
 fee. The fee for permits going forward will be based on fleet size noting
 that this is presently set at $172.50/m2 per year, which would equate to
 $86.25 per year for each Lime scooter
