Approval of FENZ Board Pay
Peter Campbell made this Official Information request to Brooke van Velden
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Peter Campbell to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Peter Campbell
Kia Ora Brooke,
I write regarding the remuneration of the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Board and related matters.
We trust that you have the best interests of the community in mind when emergencies occur. We therefore request the following information to demonstrate that:
1. Are you aware of how many brigades operate with trucks over 30 years old? Please provide the number.
2. What communications have you had with FENZ within the past four months regarding prioritising the budget to ensure it supports service delivery targets (e.g. reducing breakdowns and ensuring timely response)?
3. Please provide the full rationale for the increase in board members’ remuneration, including any supporting documentation from the past four months.
4. Please provide documentation from the past four months relating to any budget adjustment communications that explain why the significant increase in board members’ remuneration was approved while FENZ has been directed to implement budget savings, including in the context of stations being closed and aging or unreliable frontline vehicles.
5. What FENZ staff have you met with in the past 2 months and at what locations?
6. Do you have any conflict of interest with your positions and FENZ in anyway?
I trust that the public interest remains at the forefront of these decisions.
Yours faithfully,
Mr P. Campbell
Rangiora
