Dear Auckland Council,

I noted from your previous response back in 2023

"Do DLC chairs and members get paid? Yes, the remuneration rate is set by
the Minister of Justice and is currently $78 an hour for a chair and $51
an hour for members. DLC invoices are subject to withholding tax. ”

Could you please confirm whether the pay rate is still correct? Also,
could you provide the annual payment amounts received by each DLC member
from the last term? I understand there are privacy considerations, so I’m
happy for the information to be listed anonymously—for example, “DLC
member 1 received X amount,”, “DLC member 2 received X amount,” “DLC chair
received X amount,” etc. Further what about GST implication? Can you
please let me know if there is any DLC member/chair provide the invoice
with GST? If so, how many.

"Applications for the DLC roles are being submitted through council’s
recruitment page and therefore, refers to successful candidates as being
employees. To clarify, DLC chairs and members will be contractors to
council, not employees. "

Could you please provide the contractor agreement that DLC members and the
chair are required to sign? Also, could you clarify whether they will be
issued with any items such as an ID card, council email address, laptop,
mobile phone, or similar? Please also advise what other provisions or
resources are included as part of this contract.

Yours faithfully,

john luke
