Electoral Arrangements - 2013 Elections

Supporting documents:

Minutes:

Councillor John Noeken, Cabinet member for Resources presented a report appraising members of anomalies within the electoral arrangements for 2013, details of which were presented. The report recommended a number of measures to deal with such anomalies.

 

Cllr Noeken explained that the only practical solution would be for the Council to undertake a tightly defined governance review of the areas affected.  It was noted that any review would be undertaken after the elections in 2013. 

 

Council was also asked to express a view on whether to alter the electoral names of the unitary divisions and town wards in Royal Wootton Bassett to adopt the ‘Royal’ prefix, in which case a governance review would be started in respect of the naming only.

 

Resolved:

 

1.    That Council undertake a governance review of Warminster, Corsham and Calne with no change proposed to electoral areas, but to consider proposals for the number of seats in each town ward, with the Councils preferred solution detailed in Appendices C and D of the report presented.

 

2.    That no further action be taken for 2013 in respect of parish wards at Calne Without, Melksham Without and Roundway, but the anomalies be noted for a future review.

 

3.    That authority be given to consulting on an order to add the prefix ‘Royal’ to the unitary divisions and towns wards at Royal Wootton Bassett.

62.

Review of Polling Districts

Supporting documents:

Minutes:

Cllr John Noeken, Cabinet member for Resources presented a report concerning a review of polling districts in line with Section 16 of the Electoral Administration Act 2006 which introduced a requirement for councils to review polling districts and polling places within their Parliamentary constituencies at least every four years.

 

Council had previously appointed a Working Party to oversee the review and report back to Council, the recommendations from which were presented.

 

The formal review of all the polling districts and polling stations had only identified a few areas where improvements could be made and a revised schedule of polling districts, polling places and polling stations was circulated and detailed the comments received during the review. 

 

The Working Party had also looked at polling districts and stations where there were fewer than 150 electors registered and considered that this should be examined further after 2013 in association with the community affected.

 

In addition to the comments made in the revised schedule at Appendix B to the report, the following amendments were accepted by Council during debate:

 

1.    ‘no change to existing arrangements’ for Barford St Martin

2.     ‘no change to existing arrangements’ for Sutton Mandeville

 

Councillors expressed their thanks to officers and members involved in the Working Party and congratulated them on their efforts in overseeing the process and producing the proposals detailed at Appendix B to the report presented.

 

Resolved:

 

1.    To adopt the scheme  of polling districts, polling places and polling stations contained in the revised Appendix B as presented subject to there being no change to existing arrangements in respect of Barford St Martin and Sutton Mandeville, to take effect from the May 2013 elections, with authority delegated to the (Acting) Returning Officer to make any urgent and necessary changes should they be needed.

 

2.    That polling districts and stations with fewer than 150 electors be further examined after 2013 in association with the community affected.

63.

Returning Officer's Fees and Expenses

Supporting documents:

Minutes:

Cllr John Noeken, Cabinet member for Resources presented a report on the scale of expenses which determine the Returning Officers expenditure for elections.

 

It was noted that the last review was undertaken in November 2008 in preparation for the new Council elections and traditionally the common scale used across Wiltshire was updated every two years.  It was felt that generally the present scales were fair and workable, however there were a few areas where improvements could be made and these were detailed in the report and recognised in the recommendations as moved by Cllr Noeken and duly seconded.

 

A concern was expressed over who paid the full fee for the Deputy Returning Officers with full powers and whether this came out of the Returning Officer’s fee as one charge or met by council tax payers.  Assurances were given that there would only be one charge, however further guidance would be sought from the Ministry of Justice to ensure the Council was compliant.

 

As further reassurance to Council, the Leader proposed that the following amendment which was duly seconded:

 

            To add an additional recommendation to read as follows:

           

(7)       That payment to the Deputy Returning Officer (Full Powers) be drawn from the Returning Officer’s fees if this complied with guidance from the Ministry of Justice.

 

Cllr Noeken confirmed he was happy to incorporate the amendment within his motion.

 

Resolved:

 

1.    A new heading be included in the scale of fees and charges for the payment of Deputy Returning Officers with Full Powers, and the level be set at one third (33.3%) of the Returning Officer’s fee according to the scale.

 

2.    Fees for counting assistants be raised from £15 per hour to £20 per hour.

 

3.    A new heading be introduced to enable count supervisors at casual vacancy counts, where appropriate, to be paid at a rate of £25 per hour.

 

4.    Mileage rates for all elections and polls be set at the HMRC rate in force at the time

 

5.    Headings B3, B4, B5, B10 and B11(subject to paragraph 6.1 of the report) relating to parish polls should be brought into line with the rates for parish elections

6.    Other than the amendments set out above, no change be made to the 2009 scale of fees and charges, with the new scheme to take effect from 1 April 2013

 

7.    That payment to the Deputy Returning Officer (Full Powers) be drawn from the Returning Officer’s fees if this complied with guidance from the Ministry of Justice.

64.

Appointment of Co-opted Members of the Standards Committee

Councillor Julian Johnson, Chairman of the Standards Committee to report.

Supporting documents:

Minutes:

 

Cllr Julian Johnson, Chairman of the Standards Committee presented a report which asked Council to consider the number of co-opted members to be appointed to the Standards Committee within the terms of reference agreed by Council on 15 May 2012, to delegate to the Standards Committee the authority to make these appointments and to confirm the appointment of three Independent Persons.

 

Cllr Johnson reminded Council that it had previously authorised that steps be taken to secure the appointment of 3 Independent Persons. He advised Council that interviews for these posts had taken place that week and that the three candidates proposed for appointment were all very highly qualified.  Council was therefore asked to ratify the appointment of the following as Independent Persons:

 

·           Stuart Middleton

·           Caroline Maddocks

·           Colin Malcolm

 

Cllr Nigel Carter, a member of the Selection Panel, agreed that the three candidates were very highly qualified and that he was very satisfied with the outcome of the interviews.

 

A debate ensued on the number of co-opted members that would best serve the Standards Committee and a suggestion of 4 non-voting co-opted members was generally welcomed. 

 

Councillor Jon Hubbard suggested that in the spirit of fairness he would prefer to have appointments from a geographical spread based on the old four districts.  It was felt that this could be difficult to achieve as it was likely that two of the co-opted would be independent people and two would be from Parish Councils. It was felt that this suggestion would make the appointing process very challenging. 

 

Resolved:

 

1.         That four non-voting co-opted members be appointed to the Standards Committee within the maximum of 8 set under the terms of reference agreed by Council on 15 May 2012.

2.         Subject to (1) above, to delegate the appointment of the non- voting co-opted members to the Standards Committee.

 

3.         To ratify the appointment of the following as Independent Persons:

 

·         Stuart Middleton

·         Caroline Maddocks

·         Colin Malcolm

·         Standards Committee Chairman, independent co-opted members and town and parish council members

·         Scrutiny Committee allowances

·         Police and Crime Panel members

·         Health and Wellbeing Board members

 

The report detailed the issues discussed for each of the above areas and the conclusions reached.  It was noted that there would be an opportunity to pick up any discrepancies in any subsequent review.

 

A discussion ensued on the fund of £10,000 for Overview and Scrutiny members and it was confirmed that the fund was intended to reward  Councillors for performing additional specific scrutiny functions such as chairing task groups and rapid scrutiny exercises. It was agreed to better reflect the latter point in the recommendation before Council.  

 

Cllr Noeken moved the recommendations of the Independent Remuneration Panel and an additional recommendation in respect of the Health and Wellbeing Board and this was duly seconded.

           

Resolved:

 

1.            To set the Special Responsibility Allowance payable to the Chairman of the Standards Committee at £2,517 per annum (Band 9) to reflect the anticipated reduced workload and number of meetings.

 

2.            Set the co-optee’s allowance payable to independent and town and parish members of the new Standards Committee at £1,120 per annum.

 

3.            Retain the current allowances for those engaged in the scrutiny process and in particular to note that:-

 

a.    The issue of paying an allowance to vice chairmen of scrutiny committees would be considered along with all other vice chairmen as part of the larger review later in the year; and

b.    The £10k pot for allocation to scrutiny members is to recognise significant additional responsibility, such as chairing Task Groups and Rapid Scrutiny Exercises.

 

4.            Agree an SRA for the Chairman of the PCP of £7550 representing 30% of the Leaders SRA.

 

5.            Agree an allowance of £1926 for the independent co-opted members of the Police Crime Panel.

 

6.            Agree that no allowance be paid to the ordinary members of the Police Crime Panel at present as this was covered by the basic allowance and that the issue of an allowance for  the vice-chairman be considered as part of the overall review of allowances along with all other vice-chairs.

 

7.            Agree that no allowances be payable for any members of the Health and Wellbeing Board.

 

8.            To ask the Independent Panel to reconsider the issue of a special responsibility allowance (SRA) payable to the chairman of the Health and Wellbeing Board as part of its wider review on the basis that its current recommendation that no SRA be payable, is based on the current situation that the Leader chairs the Board and this may not always be the case – the SRA should be based on the position not the person  ...  view the full minutes text for item 66.

Cllr Jon Hubbard – the size of any backlog for Housing Benefit and comparisons with the last eight quarters – Cllr Hubbard asked what steps were being taken to reduce the processing times. Cllr John Brady gave details of improved performance in this area. He also referred to the universal credit system whereby rent would be paid direct to the tenant who would be responsible for paying their landlord on time. Arrangements could be made to pay a landlord direct in the case of vulnerable members of society.  

 

Cllr Jon Hubbard – assurances that no residents would sign an agreement to reduce the number of visits by Housing Support Officers without a full understanding of the implications; and how the cost savings would be passed back to the Council – Cllr Jemima Milton responded on behalf of Cllr John Thomson.  Cllr Milton explained that it was too soon to realise the cost savings to the Council at this time but once the numbers of residents signing the agreement was known then the savings to the Council would be known.

 

Cllr Brian Dalton – Highway maintenance issues for the roads in south Wiltshire – Cllr Dick Tonge spoke referred to the levels of investment for this service. He explained that a criteria was used for prioritising highway maintenance in the County and that the overriding aim was one of road safety.

Cllr Jon Hubbard – the steps being taken to compensate for the loss of the Education Maintenance Allowance – Cllr Lionel Grundy agreed that it was very unfortunate that the Allowance had been withdrawn nationally but that he was not aware that this had affected the education of children in the County.

 

Cllr Chris Caswill – when would an agreement be reached in relation to the redevelopment of the Bath Road site in Chippenham and was there any risks associated with the delay – Cllr Toby Sturgis reassured that nothing was being put at risk.

 

Cllr Chris Caswill – the charge on the Council for this year’s carbons emissions – Cllr Toby Sturgis reported that for the current year it was anticipated that the charge would be £400,000. The reduction for this year was mainly due to energy efficiency savings and a reduction in the Council’s estate.
