Council Meetings

Cr Harris noted that the Council 24 April Council meeting had been disrupted a number of times. He requested that consideration of the use of laptops in Council meetings be considered at this meeting of Council. I have considered the matter and a recommend, with Executive Committee’s endorsement the following to Council:

• THAT the use of laptop computers during meetings is permitted.
• THAT Councillors are reminded that their behaviour during Council meetings must not disrupt the meeting.
• THAT where any Councillors finds the behaviour of any other Councillor during a meeting to be disruptive the matter is raised with the Chairperson by a point-of-order, in the first instance.

The rationale for this recommendation is that Councillors, particularly Officers, are able to efficiently dispose of InternetNZ business by having computers and Internet access to hand during meetings.

Recommendations:

  • THAT the report be adopted.
