Explanatory memorandum
Note: The following explanatory memorandum should be read in conjunction with the explanatory memorandum(s) appended to the:
This memorandum is not part of the determination, but is intended to indicate its general effect.
This determination is deemed to have come into force on 1 July 2014 and expires on the close of 30 June 2015. The making of this determination was delayed beyond the expiry of the previous determination to allow for the clarification of the provisions about resource consents, the issues having been raised with the Authority in late June 2014.
Last year, following an in-depth review of the way that the Authority sets remuneration for local body elected officials, the Authority moved to a new system where the Authority sets a base councillor rate for each council, and councils can make submissions on the additional remuneration for those councillors undertaking additional duties.
The new system is set out in our report “Local Authority Elected Member Remuneration Setting 2013”
, which along with the consultation documents and a frequently asked questions section is accessible on the Authority’s website, www.remauthority.govt.nz
Under the new system, a relationship between the size of a council (measured using a “size index”
) and mayor, chairperson, and base councillor salaries is determined every 3 years in election year.
In the intervening years, size indices are recalculated and mayor, chairperson, and base councillor salaries are determined using the same relationships, but with adjustment for general wage growth.
The intervening years’ process will not result in a decrease in any mayor, chairperson, or base councillor salary.
Aware of its responsibility of fairness to both elected members and ratepayers, and the still fragile nature of economic activity, the Authority moderated both increases and decreases to smooth the transition to the new system. This approach was continued, with moderation to reflect wage growth, this year.
A similar approach is used to set the remuneration of community board members, where the size of each community board is related to its population.
The relationships between council size and remuneration, as well as any necessity for moderation of large increases or decreases, will be reassessed in the 2015/16 year ready for implementation at the time of the 2016 local body elections. The 2015/16 determination will be set using the same approach as this year.
There have been no changes made to the levels and conditions of allowances. There has, however, been an additional provision to allow for additional remuneration of members acting as a panel under the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Act 2013, which replicates payment arrangements for resource consent hearings. The determination also clarifies the provisions regarding preparation time for resource consent hearings.
Note: The preceding explanatory memorandum should be read in conjunction with the explanatory memorandum(s) appended to the:
Date of notification in Gazette: 24 July 2014.
