Ombudsman Upholding Complaints Against RDC

Hamish Carnachan made this Official Information request to Ruapehu District Council

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Hamish Carnachan to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Hamish Carnachan

Dear Ruapehu District Council,

Under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act I seek responses to the following:

- Have all elected members of RDC been presented with the Ombudsman’s rulings upholding complaints against the council for successive breaches of the LGOIMA? Please provide details of when and in what forum this was put to council.

- How many of the Ombudsman’s rulings upholding complaints about RDC’s numerous breaches of the LGOIMA have been presented to the full council i.e., all elected members, as of this date?

- Please provide references to the meetings, notes, reports and/or briefings supplied to council (elected members) about the Ombudsman’s rulings against RDC for successive breaches of the LGOIMA?

- Has the council discussed how it plans to prevent future breaches of LGOIMA, in line with the Ombudsman’s directive to the CE and Chair, so as not to continue to subvert democracy in RDC? Please provide details of when and in what forum this was put to council, along with the proposed plan to prevent further breaches.

- Please provide correspondence between the mayor (Weston Kirton) and CE (Clive Manly) regarding the Ombudsman’s determinations around RDC’s numerous breaches of the LGOIMA.

- What directives have staff been given in response to the Ombudsman’s rulings that RDC has repeatedly breached its obligations under the LGOIMA? Please provide notes, briefings and/or reports to staff.

Yours faithfully,

Hamish Carnachan
