42 Reprinted as at 8 November 2018 Local Government Members (2018/19) (Local Authorities) Determination 2018 Explanatory memorandum Explanatory memorandum Note: The following explanatory memorandum should be read in conjunction with the explanatory memorandum(s) appended to the: • Local Government Members (2018/19) (Local Authorities) Amendment Determination 2018 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 2018 and expires on the close of 30 June 2019.

Under the system used for the past several years by the Remuneration Authority (the Authority) for local government members, the Authority set a base councillor rate for each council and councils then made submissions on the additional remuneration for those councillors undertaking additional duties.
Under the system, a relationship between the size of a council (measured using a size index) and mayor, chairperson, and base councillor salaries was determined every 3 years in an election year.

A simi- lar approach has been used to set the remuneration of community board or local board members, where the remuneration of each board member is related to population.
The Authority has now reviewed and consulted with local authorities on changes to the remuneration framework and made decisions on a new approach in future.

A detailed paper setting out all the policy changes and the reasons for them is available on the Authority’s Internet site www.remauthority.govt.nz The new approach will be fully implemented after the 2019 local government election and in this determination some transitional changes have been made.
The new system continues to be based on a council size index, which is only intended for the purposes of the Remuneration Authority.

The size index has been revised to include extra siz- ing factors relevant to the responsibilities of territorial, unitary, and regional author- ities.

The revised and updated council size index has resulted in changes to where councils are placed on the Authority’s index.
The Authority has also created a local government pay scale using parliamentary remuneration as a comparator.

Because of their extreme sizes, Auckland and Chatham Islands councils will sit outside the pay scale, which will anchored at the top by Christchurch City Council (the largest coun- cil aside from Auckland) and at the bottom related to a pro rata proportion of the average wage.

The largest role in local government (the Mayor of Auckland) will receive no more than a cabinet minister.
All these changes are reflected in this determination in varying levels of remuneration increase between councils as we begin adjusting councils on the pay scale.

These changes will be applied in 3 tranches—the first in this determination, the second in next year’s determination, and the third after the 2019 election.
This does not apply to community boards or Auckland local boards, whose members have all received an increase of 1.5% in this determination to reflect changes in the Statistics New Zealand Labour Market Statistics (wage inflation) for the public sector in the year to March 2018.
Deputy chairpersons of Auckland local boards will receive an increase to take 43 Explanatory memorandum Local Government Members (2018/19) (Local Authorities) Determination 2018 Reprinted as at 8 November 2018 their remuneration to 60% of the new rate for their respective board chairpersons in recognition of the extra workload attached to those positions.
Following the 2019 local government election, and in each local government election year thereafter, each council and Auckland local board will have allocated a remuner- ation pool reflecting its rank on the size index.

Each council will make recommenda- tions on appropriate remuneration for a base councillor salary and for positions of responsibility.

The Authority will normally then apply these recommendations in its determination but will reserve the right to intervene if it sees any reason to do so.
This process will apply to all councillors, but not to mayors and chairpersons of regional councils, whose remuneration will continue to be determined by the Authority in rela- tion to the council rank on the size index.

The Authority has made no decisions yet regarding the possible inclusion of community boards in council remuneration pools.
Upper limits have been set by the Authority on the purchase prices (including on-road costs and goods and services tax paid) of petrol/diesel and electric/hybrid motor vehicles.

These upper limits take account of the vehicle being fit for purpose, the safety of the driver, and fairness to the ratepayer.
The primary reason the Authority has set a differential between the maximum purchase prices of a petrol or diesel vehicle and an electric or hybrid vehicle is that data from Inland Revenue and AA Motoring show that electric and hybrid vehicles have lower running costs, but higher fixed costs, when compared to petrol or diesel vehicles.

The fixed costs of an electric or hybrid vehicle sit between those of a medium and large vehicle.
The new purchase prices apply to all new or replacement motor vehicles from 1 July 2018.

However, the new purchase price limits do not apply to existing motor vehicles cur- rently provided to mayors and regional chairpersons.

In these cases the actual pur- chase prices are grandparented until the existing vehicles are replaced.
The annual remuneration for a mayor or regional chairperson, shown in Part 1 and Part 2 of the Schedule, is their “total remuneration” and it includes the annual value of their motor vehicle entitlement.

The Authority had previously deducted the annual value from their annual remuneration as shown in earlier determinations.
If a council as at 30 June 2018 provides its mayor or regional chairperson with a motor vehicle it must deduct, from 1 July 2018, the annual value of the motor vehicle using the appropriate formula in clause 9 from the mayor or regional chairperson’s annual remuneration as shown in Part 1 or Part 2 of the Schedule.
If a council chooses to provide its mayor or regional chairperson with a new or replacement motor vehicle on or from 1 July 2018, it must use the appropriate for- mula in clause 9 of this determination to calculate the annual value that will need to be deducted from their mayor or regional chairperson’s annual remuneration as shown in Part 1 or Part 2 of the Schedule.

The deduction commences on the date that the mayor or regional chairperson is provided with the vehicle.
The Authority expects that if a mayor or regional chairperson is provided with a motor vehicle, the local authority will publish in its annual financial statements the 44 Reprinted as at 8 November 2018 Local Government Members (2018/19) (Local Authorities) Determination 2018 Explanatory memorandum vehicle details, including its annual value as a component of the mayor’s or regional chairperson’s total remuneration.
The travel time allowance (clause 12) has been amended to take into account that, with the exception of the Mayor of the Chatham Islands, all other mayors and regional council chairpersons are deemed by the Authority to have full-time roles.

Therefore, those roles are no longer eligible to receive the travel time allowance.
To be fair to ratepayers, if a member lives outside of the member’s local authority area and travels on local authority business to and from the member’s place of resi- dence and the local authority area, the member can only claim the travel time allow- ance when travelling within the boundary of the local authority area.

The allowance has been adjusted to place a cap on the amount of travel time that can be claimed within a 24-hour period.
The maximum payable is capped at 8 hours, based on a member who travels for 9 hours during a 24-hour period (as the first hour of travel cannot be claimed).

No amendments have been made to other allowances in this determination.
