Dated at Wellington this 1st day of July 2008.

This explanatory memorandum is not part of the determination, but is intended to indicate its general effect.
A provision in the Local Government Act 2002 gives the Remuneration Authority (the Authority) responsibility for setting the remuneration of elected local government representatives.
The legislation requires the Authority to have regard to the need to—
minimise the potential for types of remuneration to distort the behaviour of the elected member:
achieve and maintain fair relativity with levels of remuneration received elsewhere:
be fair both to the elected members and ratepayers:
attract and retain competent persons.
In order to meet its statutory obligations, and in particular to achieve transparency, fairness, and consistency between members, the Authority established appropriate models to assist in determining the cost of governance and representation for each local and regional authority. The models utilised adopted 4 criteria that are transparent and readily verifiable from published data, namely—
population:
operational expenditure:
assets controlled:
rate of population change.
The application of these models results in an indicative pool of money notionally attributable to each local authority. These indicative pools are used by the Authority to assist in ultimately determining the remuneration for each elected member.
This determination uses indicative pool totals derived from audited annual accounts for the year ended 30 June 2007 and population figures as at the same date.
Local authority members carry out their responsibilities on a diverse basis. In order to assist the Authority to recognise that diversity, councils and members are given the opportunity of proposing to the Authority remuneration levels appropriate for the responsibilities of each position within the council and its community boards. The Authority then determines the remuneration for each member after considering the council recommendations, any dissenting views, or other factors.
The Authority also determines allowances and expenses. The rules governing these are determined by the Authority and must be available for public scrutiny at each council.
The Authority has retained the vehicle mileage allowance, in clause 14 of this determination, at the rate of $0.70 per kilometre. There were 2 main reasons for retaining the allowance at this rate, notwithstanding the considerable increases in the retail price of motor fuel over the last year.
First, according to the most recent information published by the New Zealand Automobile Association, at $0.70 per kilometre the allowance more than covers the running cost of a mid-size motor car.
Secondly, it is increasingly apparent to the Authority that the inclusion of a provision for travelling time in the motor vehicle allowance is problematical. It advantages those who use motor vehicles rather than public transport. Furthermore, it provides an incentive for elected members to use private motor vehicles on council business at a time when many councils are encouraging greener, or generally more sustainable, transport and environmental policies.
The Authority intends to review the basis and application of the motor vehicle allowance prior to the 2009/10 Local Government Elected Members Determination.
Date of notification in Gazette: 3 July 2008.
(SR 2009/110)
Pursuant to clause 6 of Schedule 7 of the Local Government Act 2002 and to the Remuneration Authority Act 1977, the Remuneration Authority makes the following determination (to which is appended an explanatory memorandum).
This determination is the Local Government Elected Members (2008/09) Amendment Determination 2009.
This determination comes into force on the day after the date of its notification in the Gazette.
(1) Amendment(s) incorporated in the principal determination(s).
(2) Amendment(s) incorporated in the principal determination(s).
(3) The item relating to Western Bay of Plenty District Council in Schedule 2 has effect from 16 November 2008 to the close of 9 March 2009 as if the reference to $34,103 were a reference to $77,414.

3How reprints are prepared
4Changes made under section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989
5List of amendments incorporated in this reprint (most recent first)
This is a reprint of the Local Government Elected Members (2008/09) Determination 2008. The reprint incorporates all the amendments to the determination as at 30 June 2009, as specified in the list of amendments at the end of these notes.
Relevant provisions of any amending enactments that have yet to come into force or that contain relevant transitional or savings provisions are also included, after the principal enactment, in chronological order.
Under section 16D of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, reprints are presumed to correctly state, as at the date of the reprint, the law enacted by the principal enactment and by the amendments to that enactment. This presumption applies even though editorial changes authorised by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 have been made in the reprint.
This presumption may be rebutted by producing the official volumes of statutes or statutory regulations in which the principal enactment and its amendments are contained.
A number of editorial conventions are followed in the preparation of reprints. For example, the enacting words are not included in Acts, and provisions that are repealed or revoked are omitted. For a detailed list of the editorial conventions, see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/legislation/reprints.shtml or Part 8 of the Tables of Acts and Ordinances and Statutory Regulations and Deemed Regulations in Force.
Section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 authorises the making of editorial changes in a reprint as set out in sections 17D and 17E of that Act so that, to the extent permitted, the format and style of the reprinted enactment is consistent with current legislative drafting practice. Changes that would alter the effect of the legislation are not permitted.
A new format of legislation was introduced on 1 January 2000. Changes to legislative drafting style have also been made since 1997, and are ongoing. To the extent permitted by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, all legislation reprinted after 1 January 2000 is in the new format for legislation and reflects current drafting practice at the time of the reprint.
In outline, the editorial changes made in reprints under the authority of section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 are set out below, and they have been applied, where relevant, in the preparation of this reprint:
•omission of unnecessary referential words (such as “of this section”
and “of this Act”
)
•typeface and type size (Times Roman, generally in 11.5 point)
•layout of provisions, including:
•indentation
•position of section headings (eg, the number and heading now appear above the section)
•format of definitions (eg, the defined term now appears in bold type, without quotation marks)
•format of dates (eg, a date formerly expressed as “the 1st day of January 1999”
is now expressed as “1 January 1999”
)
•position of the date of assent (it now appears on the front page of each Act)
•punctuation (eg, colons are not used after definitions)
•Parts numbered with roman numerals are replaced with arabic numerals, and all cross-references are changed accordingly
•case and appearance of letters and words, including:
•format of headings (eg, headings where each word formerly appeared with an initial capital letter followed by small capital letters are amended so that the heading appears in bold, with only the first word (and any proper nouns) appearing with an initial capital letter)
•small capital letters in section and subsection references are now capital letters
•schedules are renumbered (eg, Schedule 1 replaces First Schedule), and all cross-references are changed accordingly
•running heads (the information that appears at the top of each page)
•format of two-column schedules of consequential amendments, and schedules of repeals (eg, they are rearranged into alphabetical order, rather than chronological).
