ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES' REMUNERATION 2007/2008 - PROCESS
|
Marlene Skelton |
|
|
Business Services Manager |
8 November 2006 |
Both Councillors and
Community Board members will, in January and February, be required to consider
options in relation to the information released by the Remuneration Authority.
The expense policy,
which is to be presented to the Remuneration Authority at the same time, must
also be reviewed. As budget for supporting this policy comes from outside the
pool set by the Remuneration Authority, consideration of this can begin in
November/December.
In 2006/2007 the
increase in the pool was such that it allowed the Gulf Islands Boards to be
brought into parity with the Isthmus Boards. The Remuneration Working Party was
satisfied at that stage that the correct relativities had been achieved for all
categories of elected representative and that those relativities would be used
until the end of the term. The application of the pool increase granted for
2007/2008 would then become an automatic process.
Because Boards do
not have scheduled meetings in December/January, it is recommended that the
Board appoint a working party to progressively consider information as it comes
to hand and to work with the Business Support Manager to ensure the opinions of
the Board are available to the Remuneration Working Party.
