Secretarial Note: After discussion, recommendation 3 was added, this was in the original report but not included in the agenda.

 

Secretarial Note: Request from Malcolm Walsh to minute the following:

“Kaipara Uri reps have considered the recommendations of the independent adviser on remuneration and acknowledge they will address some of the time and material costs of the representatives in the interim. However we think the criteria used for evaluation is more suited to policy and regulatory bodies at a central government level and does not assess considerable operational, financial and reputational risk and time that service on this Joint committee with this set of functions entails. As such we request that further consideration be given in March/April to more appropriate criteria and comparisons with more relevant organisations. Once this has been assessed we can collectively determine what that might mean for retrospective as well as ongoing remuneration of Uri representatives.”
