Mr Brewer

 

I refer to your email of 10 October 2016 and note the 20 working days’
deadline under the Information legislation would be 9 November 2016.

 

This is to confirm that I am working through your request but at this
stage have yet to receive the information so a decision can then be made
about release or withholding in full or in part.

 

It is unlikely I will have the information by 9 November and I therefore
need to extend the time period until Tuesday 29 November.  A complication
is that I am overseas for a period in mid-November.

 

Please note you are entitled to seek review by the Office of the Ombudsman
about the time extension.   The office that deals with this Council is in
Wellington, the address being Office of the Ombudsman, P O Box 10152,
Wellington 6143.

 

For your information it is so I may firstly get the information and then
seek input from the party about whom the information is based.  This is
not determinative of any decision, merely an opportunity for a party
affected to provide comment that I can take into account.

 

Within the extended time frame I may need to address any charge based on
Council’s Release of Information Policy.  No such decision has been made
but if considerable resource is needed, it is something to be considered.

Mr Brewer

 

I refer to my email of 2 November and to the two phone messages you left
for me while I have been away from the office.

 

We are doing what we can to at least have a decision available by 9
November in terms of what information may be available for release.

 

Based on the time already expended in extracting information there will be
costs levied for which we will need payment.  Council’s Cost Policy sets a
rate of $60 per hour for recovery.  The basis of the policy is that the
requestor, as the beneficiary, should pay rather than the ratepayers of
Marlborough.

 

I will  let you know by 9 November 2016 about whether I am in a position
to make a decision but if not then the time extension would be put in
place.  That would then leave it open for you to seek review by the Office
of the Ombudsman.

 

Discussion is of little benefit unless it is to cut back on the
information requested.  The difficulty is firstly pulling together all the
information and secondly seeking and considering any comments from the
party affected.

Mr Brewer

 

I advise that I have received the information which covers Steering Group
attendees, Working Group attendees, meeting notes 22 June 2016, 29
September 2016 and 7 July 2016.  I have considered the information and it
will be available for release but there are matters redacted from the
meeting notes of 7 July 2016 for reasons of confidentiality and privacy.

 

Council has expended 5 hours in resource meeting your request which under
the policy would involve a charge of $300.  The charge, however, will be
set at $120.  We require this payment prior to release of the information.

 

Our bank account details are:

 

Account Name:                                Marlborough District Council

Bank Name:                                       Bank of New Zealand

Bank Address:                                   92 Market Street

Blenheim 7240

Account number:                            02 0600 0202861 02

 

Reference:                                Please add in ‘Brewer – Info
Request’ so we may identify the payment

 

 

Please note that if you wish to seek review of any redaction that has
occurred then you are entitled to seek review by the Office of the
Ombudsman.
