Official Information Request – Brendon Mills
Date: 19 December 2012.
Deadline: 21 January 2013.
Request:
I would like you know what activities you have outsourced to the private sector, and what
activities you do 'in house'?
Clarification:
Hi Brendon,
Thank you for your official information request.
Before starting any work on a response, I would like to clarify what you mean by activities.
Do you mean activities as they are described in the Hauraki Long Term Plan,
http://www.hauraki-dc.govt.nz/documents/publications/LTP2012/Vol1/Vol1-66-69.pdf or do
you refer to activities with another meaning? If by activities you are referring to something
other than the activities detailed in the Long Term Plan, can you please provide some
explanation around that to ensure we are on the ‘same page’.
Regards,
Terri.
Dear Terri Nevin,
To clarify, activities I am enquiring about are routine activities, such as road maintenance
(which would be something that would be outsourced), or operation of the library (would
would be done 'in house').
Yours sincerely,
Brendon Mills.
