Whakataka te hau ki te uru Cease o winds from the west
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga Cease o winds from the south
Kia mākinakina ki uta Bring calm breezes over the land
Kia mātaratara ki tai Bring calm breezes over the sea
E hī ake ana te atakura And let the red-tipped dawn come
He tio With a touch of frost
He huka A sharpened air
He hau hū And promise of a glorious day
Tīhei mauri ora!
At the close of the agenda no apologies had been received.
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.
That the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board Community Forum: a) confirm the ordinary minutes of its meeting, held on Tuesday, 25 February 2020, as true and correct.
