the agenda no apologies had been received.
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
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
