Dear Willoughby City Council,
I am seeking a copy of advice from Council's Insurer re risks and liability connected with Council's participation in an e-scooter trial. The advice was referred to in the Agenda of Council's meeting of October last year (Item 13.3, under Risk and Insurance) but was still being awaited at that time.
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Nelson

Dear Andrew,

On behalf of Council, I am sending apologies for the delay in responding
to your request due to significant staff shortages.

I have lodged an internal inquiry with the actioning officer of the
Council Meeting item 13.3 (NOM 20/2022 - Transport for NSW E-Scooter
Shared Scheme).

We appreciate your patience and understanding whilst we undertake research
into your request.

Kind regards

Manuela Baumann - Governance Administration Officer
