1 Welcome
The Chairperson opened the meeting and welcomed those present.
2 Apologies
3 Declaration of Interest
Members were reminded of the need to be vigilant to stand aside from
decision making when a conflict arises between their role as a member and any
private or other external interest they might have.
Specifically
members are asked to identify any new interests they have not previously
disclosed, an interest that might be considered as a conflict of interest with
a matter on the agenda.
At its meeting on 28 November 2013, the Waitakere Ranges
Local Board resolved (resolution number WTK/2010/5) to record any possible
conflicts of interest in a register.
