Who has missed the most meetings?<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
REPRESENTING the city has<br />
caused Mayor Lianne Dalziel to<br />
have the lowest attendance rate at<br />
council meetings over the term<br />
so far.<br />
Figures released for all city<br />
council, community board and<br />
committee meetings from the<br />
start of the term in October<br />
2016 to December 2018 show<br />
Ms Dalziel attended 60 out of 75<br />
council meetings.<br />
But Ms Dalziel said of those<br />
missed meetings, there was<br />
only three days personal leave,<br />
including time to support her<br />
husband Rob Davidson, who is<br />
suffering from prostate cancer,<br />
and two days professional<br />
development.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> rest involve representing<br />
the council or Christchurch<br />
International Airport Ltd in an<br />
official capacity.”<br />
That included attending<br />
the official opening of Haeata<br />
with then prime minister Sir<br />
Bill English, visiting sister city<br />
Songpa Gu in South Korea<br />
and the announcement for the<br />
Convention Centre.<br />
Overall attendance around<br />
the council table was high. City<br />
councillor Pauline Cotter was the<br />
sole member to get 100 per cent,<br />
attending all 75 meetings.<br />
Another five councillors –<br />
Vicki Buck, Mike Davidson,<br />
Anne Galloway, Jamie Gough<br />
and Deon Swiggs – missed one<br />
meeting and all except Raf Manji<br />
attended more than 70.<br />
Cr Manji made it to 69. He is<br />
the only city councillor who has<br />
indicated he will not run for his<br />
seat in the October local body<br />
election.<br />
Bit it was a different for some<br />
members of the city’s seven<br />
community boards, which meet<br />
once a fortnight.<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board member<br />
Brenda Lowe-Johnson made<br />
it to 33 out of 45 meetings. Ms<br />
Lowe-Johnson, who is also the<br />
Collective for the Homeless<br />
co-ordinator, has served on the<br />
board for 15 years and is retiring<br />
at the end of the term.<br />
“For all the other terms, my<br />
TURN OUT: Mayor Lianne Dalziel has missed the most city council meetings since<br />
October 2016.<br />
attendance has been good and<br />
that’s because for the last 12<br />
years we had meetings on a<br />
Wednesday,” she said.<br />
“What they did was they put<br />

he was often overseas in Asia, the<br />

“I do miss some of the<br />
meetings but I always read the<br />
agenda and if it’s a particularly<br />
big issue, I will let the chair know<br />
of my opinion so he can take that<br />
into consideration,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> one thing I can say with<br />
my hand on my heart is that if<br />
I’m in town I’ve not missed a<br />
meeting.”<br />
Mr Paranjape said he felt<br />
being present in the community,<br />
which he did through his role<br />
on the board and as a justice of<br />
the peace, was just as valuable as<br />
attending meetings.<br />
