6.6.6 Agendas and Minutes
-
Decision-making by local boards is based on a formal agenda and the associated reports. Records of attendance and the decisions taken are also kept in the form of minutes. Access to these documents is provided in a number of ways:
-
Elected members – are provided with electronic versions of each agenda, associated reports and subsequent minutes.
-
Staff – can access agendas, reports and minutes through the internal Infocouncil system or the internet.
-
Public – under LGOIMA, copies of agendas, reports and minutes are required to be available for inspection at libraries and council public offices. LGOIMA pre-dates the internet and there is no requirement under the Act to provide access via the internet. However, it is council practice to publish all agendas, reports and minutes on its website. For further information, on Agendas and Minutes for the key meetings, see Agendas and Minutes on the Auckland Council's Website also. Some boards also send links to interested stakeholders or publicise the information’s availability on the board Facebook page.
