4. EXCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC : LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL INFORMATION AND MEETINGS ACT 1987

   Lee Manaia
   Democracy Advisor	7 March 2008
   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	Evaluation of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) partial takeover for Auckland Airport	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)(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. 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 could compromise the ability of the council to optimise its investment in Auckland International Airport Limited. A public version of the report will be released after the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board takeover offer closes.	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.
