Remuneration Authority - policy on child
care allowances
|
|
|
Resolution
number RD/2019/50
MOVED by Member B Bailey, seconded by Deputy Chairperson
P Pirrie:
That the Rodney
Local Board:
a) do
not endorse the draft submission on the Remuneration Authority’s
proposed policy on childcare allowances, and provide the following feedback
to the Remuneration Authority:
i) The elected members fee is
an honorarium, not a salary, and elected members
are expected to meet their own costs while serving on a local board
ii) The
elected member honorarium does not include provision for any leave entitlements
or other benefits, save for mileage travel expenses which are universally
claimable in the course of business, so singling out childcare allowances
is arbitrary and not in keeping with an honorarium
iii) Standing for local government is a
community service, not a career path, and
all elected members incur hardship of one sort or another; a better focus
would be amending the current policies which negatively impact elected
members in rural areas who travel vast distances but have a capped
sum on the amount of mileage that can be claimed annually
iv) if the Remuneration Authority considers
that additional benefits should be
payable to elected members to encourage more people to stand for election
they would be better off increasing the honorarium for all, not
allowances for some
v) There are other methods available
to elected members who wish to recover
childcare costs, including tax deductions or other mechanisms through
IRD which will not unfairly burden the Auckland ratepayer like the Remuneration
Authority proposal will.
