14 2019/318 Local Government Members (2019/20) Amendment Determination 2019 Explanatory memorandum Explanatory memorandum This memorandum is not part of the determination, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This determination amends the Local Government Members (2019/20) Determination 2019 (the principal determination).
This determination is based on the changed approach to setting local government remuneration, signalled previously in the principal determination.

The determination is operational for the period following the election of the local government represen- tatives ie, from 13 October 2019 until 30 June 2020.
Under that approach, the Remu- neration Authority has created a total governance remuneration pool for each council, reflecting the ranking of that council on the appropriate council size index (territorial authority, unitary authority, or regional authority).

The approach therefore reflects the size of the total governance role of any particular council, rather than the number of councillors on that council (which range from 6 to 16, excluding Auckland).
The pool is the total amount of money that the Authority has determined is available to pay councillor remuneration per annum.

Following the 2019 local body elections, each council provided the Authority with recommendations for how its pool, which must be fully allocated, should be distrib- uted among its elected members.

The recommendations included a rate for base coun- cillor remuneration and rates for all positions of responsibility.
The Authority consid- ered these recommendations before determining the remuneration payable to mem- bers that comes into effect on the dates specified in the Schedule.

Remuneration for mayors and regional council chairpersons was not included in the pool but was set individually by the Authority in the principal determination to reflect each council’s ranking on the appropriate size index.
The largest role in local govern- ment (the Mayor of Auckland) has been generally benchmarked around the remuner- ation of a Cabinet minister and will not exceed that level.

Community board and Auckland local board remuneration was also set by the Authority in the principal determination.
For the time being, if a council delegates significant powers and functions to 1 or more community boards and, as a consequence, recommends that the Authority increases the remuneration of their community board members, the additional funds will come out of the council’s governance remuneration pool.
In the case of some councils, adjustments to the council pool or to mayor or regional chair remuneration may continue over the next 2 years, as the Authority completes the alignment of those councils with the size new index.

Note that the remuneration for mayors, community boards’ elected members, Auck- land local boards’ elected members, and base councillors is effective on the day after the date on which the official result of the 2019 local elections was declared in rela- tion to the local authority.
The remuneration covering positions of responsibility (eg, regional council chair, deputy mayor, committee chair, etc) comes into effect on the day after the date on which the council confirmed the position.

15 Explanatory memorandum Local Government Members (2019/20) Amendment Determination 2019 2019/318 Not all councils were able to submit their recommendations to the Authority in time to be considered and included in this determination.
A further determination is plan- ned for the first quarter of 2020.

It will contain the outcome of the remaining coun- cils’ recommendations.
