Mr Quax's statement was released to media this afternoon shortly after TVNZ reported the mayor had been chased down the street by about 12 protesters, calling for his resignation.
"It's not okay to root in the mayoral office,'' and "Shame shame shame,'' the group chanted.
As the mayor drove away the protesters ran after his car, TVNZ said.
Tomorrow at 10am a quarter of Auckland Councillors will attempt the motion of no-confidence at the Governing Body meeting at the Auckland Town Hall, Mr Quax said.
The five councillors will propose the motion: That the Governing Body notes that Len Brown lacks the essential leadership credentials of judgement, honesty, integrity, and credibility and as a result councillors have lost confidence in his ability to carry out his duties as Mayor of Auckland.
The five councillors - Mr Quax, Linda Cooper, Cameron Brewer, Sharon Stewart, Denise Krum - have advised other councillors of their intentions and are confident more will come on board over the next 24 hours to support this stronger statement, Mr Quax said.
