2 Apologies
An apology from
Member U Casuri Balouch has 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.
