1 Welcome
2 Apologies
3 Declaration
of Interest
Members are 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.
The Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members (the Code)
requires elected members to fully acquaint themselves with, and strictly adhere
to, the provisions of Auckland Council’s Conflicts of Interest
Policy. The policy covers two classes of conflict of interest:
i)
A financial conflict of interest, which
is one where a decision or act of the local board could reasonably give rise to
an expectation of financial gain or loss to an elected member; and
ii)
A non-financial conflict interest, which
does not have a direct personal financial component. It may arise, for
example, from a personal relationship, or involvement with a non-profit
organisation, or from conduct that indicates prejudice or predetermination.
The Office of the Auditor General has produced guidelines to help
elected members understand the requirements of the Local Authority
(Member’s Interest) Act 1968. The guidelines discuss both types of
conflicts in more detail, and provide elected members with practical examples
and advice around when they may (or may not) have a conflict of interest.
Copies of both the Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected
Members and the Office of the Auditor General guidelines are available for
inspection by members upon request.
Any questions relating to the Code or the guidelines may be directed
to the Relationship Manager in the first instance.
Secretarial Note: Member
Jennifer McKenzie declared a perceived conflict of interest for item 18 -
Devonport-Takapuna Quick Response, Round Two 2016/2017 with regard to the
application from Milford Bowling Club.
Secretarial Note: The
Chairperson declared a perceived non-financial conflict of interest for item 12
– Notice of Motion – Signage Bylaw.
