    8 November 2007

    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 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:

    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. Voting at Auckland International Airport Limited's (AIAL) 2007 Annual General Meeting Public conduct of matter would be likely to result in disclosure of information for which good reason to withhold exists under 7. Section 7(2)(a)

    The withholding of the information is necessary to protect the privacy of natural persons, including that of a deceased person.

    In particular, the report contains specific information about current directors and candidates to the board of Auckland International Airport Ltd (AIAL).

    Section 7(2)(i)

    The withholding of the information is necessary to enable the local authority to carry on, without prejudice or disadvantage, negotiations (including commercial and industrial negotiations).

    In particular, the report contains information about negotiations that will be carried out regarding appointments to the AIAL board. Making this information public, and therefore available to the other negotiating parties, would unreasonably disadvantage the council in these negotiations.

    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.
