A former Wellington City Mayor has met with the Council CEO after her private papers were among confidential documents found in a desk bought from a dump sale.
A man bought the desk at a city tip-shop and found termination agreements, whistleblower allegations, and staff pay details inside - dating from the 1980s to the 2000s.
The council has launched a investigation and contacted the Privacy Commissioner.
Dame Kerry Prendergast says it's appalling the documents have gotten out but says the meeting was reassuring.
