Good afternoon Mr Harris.  I refer to your email of 26 June 2012 titled
“Official Information Act request – Does the Waikato Regional Council open
its meetings with a prayer?”
 
Firstly in response to your enquiry “A response to this request was due
three weeks ago.  Will I be receiving one soon, or will I have to go to
the ombudsman?”  Your email of 26 June 2012 is the first knowledge I have
of your request, so I sincerely apologise if there has been some delivery
fault through our website request/email receipt systems that has resulted
in your initial enquiry not being processed.
 
Secondly in response to your question – it is advised that some Waikato
Regional Council Committee and Subcommittee meetings are opened and closed
with a prayer, but this is not requirement for all meetings.
