Community Board Remuneration

Department: Civic

 

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1      The Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) gives the Remuneration Authority (the Authority) the responsibility for setting remuneration for local government elected members. 

2      The Authority is seeking feedback on how Community Boards should be remunerated for the determination it will issue on 1 July 2019.  Currently, the Authority sets the amount of remuneration for each chair and member of every Community Board.

3      The Authority is now seeking feedback on whether or not Community Boards should be funded from a “governance pool”.  Regardless of how they are funded, the Authority is also asking if remuneration should reflect the number of residents represented by the whole board, or the number of residents represented by each member.

4      As this is an administrative report, the summary of considerations is not required.

 

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Board:

a)     Notes the Community Board Remuneration report.

b)     Considers the Remuneration Authority request and provides feedback as appropriate. 

 

 

BACKGROUND

5      Over the past two years, the Authority has been undertaking a review of how it sets remuneration for councillors of local authorities.  It has decided to change the current system of allocating a base pay for each councillor, along with a pool for remunerating additional responsibilities, to a system of allocating a governance pool to each council, with each council then determining how the governance pool is to be allocated to councillors.  The Authority will continue to determine the remuneration paid to each Mayor.

DISCUSSION

6      The Authority is now asking for feedback on whether the governance pool being introduced should include remuneration for Community Boards, and if so, how should it account for the impact of the relativities between Councils with Community Boards and those that do not have Community Boards. 

7      The Authority also notes that there appears to be big variations in member numbers of Community Boards, even between Boards with similar populations.  Regardless of how Community Boards are remunerated, the Authority would also like feedback on whether Community Board remuneration should reflect the number of residents represented by the whole board or the number of residents represented by each member

8      Key statistics are provided by the Authority in Attachment A to C for information purposes, along with the request for feedback from the Authority at Attachment D. 

OPTIONS

9      There are no options for this report.

NEXT STEPS

10    Feedback received from the Community Board will be provided to the Council for information at the 19 February Council meeting, and then forwarded with the Council’s comments to the Remuneration Authority on 20 February 2019.
