ZOO BOARD DELEGATIONS
| Helen Hargraves |
|
| Solicitor |
8 May 2009 |
Reporting on the scope of the current Zoo Board delegation ZO9, which gives the
Board the power to exercise the Council's powers and duties under all acts and
regulations that relate to the import, export, quarantine, exhibition, health
and care of birds, animals and other creatures in the zoo, in this context. The
Zoo Board is an advisory board and as such, there is no legal conflict of duty
between its advisory role, its duty to ensure the zoo complies with all
statutory obligations and its lack of operational control over the zoo's budget.
Recommending that the Zoo Board notes the comments of this report and the
delegations granted to the Zoo Board and that the Zoo Board considers whether it
wishes to review its current delegations.

| Democracy Advisor |
14 May 2009 |
| Section 48, Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987: |
The
following motion is submitted for consideration:
That the public be excluded from the following part(s) of the proceedings
of this meeting.
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 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:
| Item No. |
General subject of each matter to be considered |
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 |
| C1 |
Auckland Zoological Park financial performance report for the ten months
ending
30 April 2009 |
Public conduct of matter would be likely
to result in disclosure of information for which good reason to withhold
exists under section 7. |
Section 7(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
commercially sensitive information, that if released, would have a
negative impact on the operation of the entity. |
Section 48(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. |
