The Chair led
the meeting with a karakia.

Whakataka te hau ki te uru
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga
Kia mākinakina ki uta
Kia mātaratara ki tai
E hī ake ana te atakura
He tio
He huka
He hau hū
Tīhei mauri ora!
|
Cease o winds from the west
Cease o winds from the south
Bring calm breezes over the land
Bring calm breezes over the sea
And let the red-tipped dawn come
With a touch of frost
A sharpened air
And promise of a glorious day

Resolution
number WTM/2024/55
MOVED by Member S Trotman, seconded by Deputy Chairperson
G Moyle:
That the Waitematā Local Board:
a)
acknowledge the
Ombudsman's call for Councils to open Workshops to reduce the perception that
decisions are made behind closed doors.
b)
acknowledge that
some other Local Boards, including Devonport - Takapuna, Kaipatiki, Hibiscus
and Bays, Waitakere Ranges and Rodney have Open Workshops.
c)
confirm its
commitment to transparency of issues, and their associated processes, that
come before it at workshops.
d)
open all
Waitematā Local Board Workshops for public attendance online, except
when a matter is confidential.
e)
request staff to
ensure the purpose of a workshop item is clear: whether it be to inform, or
to guide members in their decision-making, and to note when the decision will
come to a board Business Meeting.
f)
inform the public
that the purpose of Open Workshops is for transparency only, that the Business
Meetings remain the forum for Local Board Members to hear from the public. While
the chat function online will be enabled, the public are advised it is for
use by Local Board Members only. Any use of the online chat function, by a
member of the public will result in that person being excluded from the rest
of the Workshop.
g)
make available, on
the Waitematā Local Board webpage, all Workshop
documentation and presentations, except when it is confidential under the Local Government Official Information and
Meetings Act 1987. Do this immediately after the Workshop, further, upload
the backlog of the workshop papers.
h)
record the Open Workshops
and upload them on the Waitematā Local Board page.
i)
review the process
after 6 months and make changes if required including potentially opening the
Workshops in person.
j)
note that the Waitematā Local Board will make the best efforts to ensure that
all staff attending in open Workshops are supported.
