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 2015 and expires on the close of 30 June 2016. The making of this determination was delayed beyond the expiry of the previous determination to allow for the clarification of some positions of responsibility.

This determination follows the remuneration setting system that the Authority established in 2013 following an in-depth review of the way that the Remuneration Authority sets remuneration for local body elected officials. Under this new system, 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.

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 continues to moderate both increases and decreases to smooth the transition to the new system. 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 during the 2015/16 year ready for implementation at the time of the 2016 local body elections.

There have been no changes made to the levels and conditions of allowances.

Note: The preceding explanatory memorandum should be read in conjunction with the explanatory memorandum(s) appended to the:
