MOVED by Chairperson G Murphy, seconded by Member A Cunningham-Marino:  

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      whakaae / agree to exclude the public from the following part(s) of the proceedings of this meeting.

b)      whakaae / agree that Faithe Smith, Lead Financial Advisor; Shyrel Burt, Principal Integration Specialist and Manoj Rathod, Integration Specialist be permitted to remain for Confidential Item C1 Confidential information to support local board decision making on the local provision of ECE after the public has been excluded, because of their knowledge of the topic, which will help the Manurewa Local Board in its decision-making.

The general subject of each matter to be considered while the public is excluded, the reason for passing this resolution in relation to each matter, and the specific grounds under section 48(1) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 for the passing of this resolution follows.

This resolution is made in reliance on section 48(1)(a) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 and the particular interest or interests protected by section 6 or section 7 of that Act which would be prejudiced by the holding of the whole or relevant part of the proceedings of the meeting in public, as follows:

 

C1       Confidential information to support local board decision making on the local provision of ECE

Reason for passing this resolution in relation to each matter

Particular interest(s) protected (where applicable)

Ground(s) under section 48(1) for the passing of this resolution

The public conduct of the part of the meeting would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason for withholding exists under section 7.

s7(2)(b)(ii) - The withholding of the information is necessary to protect information where the making available of the information would be likely unreasonably to prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied or who is the subject of the information.

s7(2)(h) - The withholding of the information is necessary to enable the local authority to carry out, without prejudice or disadvantage, commercial activities.

In particular, the report contains site-specific commercial information, which if released would impact the ability to reasonably negotiate (which is a possible outcome of the report)
Restatement / Review Date: The decisions can be released in the open minutes, but the report and its attachments remain confidential

s48(1)(a)

The public conduct of the part of the meeting would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason for withholding exists under section 7.

The text of these resolutions is made available to the public who are present at the meeting and form part of the minutes of the meeting.
