Cost of merging or sharing IT services

John Jacobson made this Official Information request to Wellington City Council

The request was partially successful.

From: John Jacobson

Dear Wellington City Council,

This is a request under section 10 of the Local Government Official
Information and Meetings Act 1987.

Please provide:

1. any comparative analysis held by the Council of the computer systems currently used by each council in the Wellington region including costs of provision of ICT services.

2. the estimated costs of merging existing computer systems in the various councils in the Wellington region into a single computer system for use in an amalgamated council.

3. proposals, recommendations and reports provided to the regional CEO forum on shared services for ICT and the minutes of the discussion and decisions made in response to those proposals, recommendations and reports.

4. all reports, analysis and recommendations held by the Council on participation in shared services for ICT with other councils in the Wellington region and the comparative advantages and disadvantages identified for participation.

If anything about this request is unclear, or you consider the request may be refused under section 17(f) of the Act, please contact me via the address from which this request was sent.

If the council considers that one of the reasons in section 7(2) of the Act may provide a reason for refusing any part of this request, I urge it to consider the strong public interest in enabling more effective participation by the public in the actions and decisions of local authorities and in the accountability of local authority
members and officials, as described in sections 4(a)(i) and (ii) of the Act.

Yours faithfully,

John Jacobson

Hello Mr Jacobson,

Thank you for your request for information relating to the Wellington Regions IT systems.

I note on the FYI.org.nz website that it states the Council must provide you with a response by 8 January 2015, 20 working days from the date the request was submitted.

This email is just to advise you that although the Council will endeavour to provide you with its decision on your request as soon as is practicable, the deadline for the decision is actually 30 January 2015.

Under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA), the definition of working day does not include a day in the period from 25 December to 15 January of the following year. As such, the 20 working day period is suspended between these dates.

I will be in contact with you as soon as the Council is in a position to provide you with the decision on whether your request will be granted, and in what form.

Kind regards

Chris
