Mayor and Councillor attendance this term
aimee w made this Official Information request to Queenstown-Lakes District Council
The request was successful.
From: aimee w
Dear Queenstown-Lakes District Council,
Could you please provide, in table form (.csv or .xls or .xlsx), a detailed breakdown for the mayor and all councillors, per meeting, of:
- councillors in attendance
- apologies
- late arrivals (and what constitutes that), and
- early departures (and what constitutes that) for all council meetings for the 2013 triennium, to date?
Further, could that table contain data on which meetings were considered mandatory for councillors, and which were considered optional?
For context, I'm looking to reproduce the analysis in the blog post below: https://medium.com/quicksand/how-many-me...
Thanks so much!
Yours faithfully,
aimee w

Dear Aimee
Please find attached a spreadsheet detailing the attendance record of the

Lakes District Council.
The attendance record for the Full Council meetings is refused under

You do have the right under section 27(3) of LGOIMA to ask the Ombudsmen
