Explanatory memorandum
Note: the following explanatory memorandum should be read in conjunction with the explanatory memorandum(s) appended to:
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 2012 and expires on the close of 30 June 2013. It is backdated to 1 July 2012 because insufficient responses from individual local authorities had been received by the Remuneration Authority (the Authority) to enable the determination to be issued prior to that date.
The Authority separately fixes the remuneration of mayors of territorial and unitary authorities, the remuneration of chairs of regional authorities, the pool of funds allocated to each regional and territorial authority for the remuneration of elected members, and the maximum allowances payable in respect of certain activities undertaken by members.
The mayoral and chair remunerations were established using the approach developed in 2010, after an independent job evaluation exercise. Weights of population, expenses, and assets were established, which were used to derive points for each local authority. The weights are those which give a good representation of the relative size of sample mayoral and chair positions as determined by the job sizing. The points are then used to develop remuneration levels that reflected the Authority’s pay line for the 2011 year. As the Authority’s 2012 pay line will not be available until later in the year, the remuneration levels were then increased by 1.5% to reflect general wage growth and adverse economic conditions. For unitary authorities, a 12.5% loading was also applied. Finally, the mayoral and chair remunerations were set to the same as last year’s level for those cases where this year’s calculation gave a lower remuneration than last year.
The balance of the pool for council and community board remuneration was then established by applying a 1.5% increase to the amount established using the pool system that has been in place since 2003.
Councils were then invited to recommend the distribution of the pool among elected members.
The maximum mileage rate has been kept at $0.74 per kilometre and the definition of threshold distance has been modified.
The travel time allowance and communication allowance are unchanged from last year. The resource consent meeting fees are also unchanged.
