The minutes of the meeting were available on the trust’s website for 11 days before being removed. Davey said they were removed from the website after “an issue arose as to whether the minutes may have breached a confidentiality obligation owed by TET”.
The Code of Conduct complaint was that Jamieson had “permitted Mrs Wood [the Taranaki Masters Games organiser] to have the residual funds from the Taranaki Masters Games without discussing the matter with the other trustees”.
Davey said the amount of funds in question were “less than $8100″.
The meeting minutes note Jamieson’s lawyer, Patrick Mooney, argued Jamieson had an authority to act on behalf of trustees, and “had been asked to sort out TMG and was doing so”.
Davey says of the six trustees on the trust, he was the only trustee without any perceived conflict of interest in the issue.
Jamieson, as the subject of the complaint was conflicted, and the other four trustees (Jono Erwood, Andrew Wood, Melissa Stevenson and Tony Bedford) had either “made the complaint or provided evidence in support of the complaint”.
That left making a determination on the complaint to him as chair.
“[My] determination was that Mr Jamieson was stood down from certain duties for three months and was requested to make an apology, which he did.”
In an emailed response to questions from NZME on the matter, Alan Jamieson said “all questions should be directed to Mike Davey, TET chairman”.
