Amendments to the Council's Scrutiny Function - Article 7: Select Committees pdf icon PDF 126 KB

    • Share this item

    1.         Article 7 of Part 2 of the Constitution sets out the terms of reference and specific remits for each of the Council’s Select Committees, and states that the number of committees will vary from time to time as agreed by the Council.

     

    2.         The Council approved ‘Confident in Surrey’s future’ the Corporate Strategy for 2015 – 20.  The Strategy sets out 3 strategic goals: wellbeing, economic prosperity and resident experience.

     

    3.         The Cabinet Portfolios have been revised to align with these strategic goals, and it is proposed that select committee remits be amended to enable effective scrutiny of the work of Cabinet and services. This report sets out the proposed changes for the Council’s approval.

     

    Additional documents:

    Minutes:

    The Chairman explained that Cabinet portfolios had been revised to align with the three strategic goals in the Corporate Strategy and it was now proposed to amend select committee remits to reflect these and to enable effective scrutiny of the work of Cabinet and services.

     

    Mr Harrison welcomed many of the changes but expressed concern in relation to the merging of Children’s and Adults into one Social Care Services Board. He asked that this change was reviewed in twelve months and reported back to Council.

     

    Mr Robert Evans considered that the new titles of the Boards did not clearly reflect the work of each Board and residents would have difficulty in understanding their roles. However, the Leader of the Council provided an explanation for the changes and said that ‘Resident Experience’ was at the heart of all services provided by the County Council.

     

    RESOLVED:

     

    That the Council approves the following recommendations with immediate effect:

    1.       the merger of the Adult Social Care and Children Social Care remits to form a Social Care Services Board and the formation of a new Education and Skills Board;

     

    2.       that the Council’s select committees will be known as:

     

    ·  Council Overview Board

    ·  Social Care Services Board

    ·  Wellbeing Board (Health Scrutiny)

    ·  Education and Skills Board

    ·  Economic Prosperity, Environment and Highways Board

    ·  Resident Experience Board

     

    3.       the revised Article 7 of the Constitution, as set out in Annex 1 and the detailed remits of the Boards in Annex 1a, of the submitted report.

Update report of the Constitution Review Group pdf icon PDF 117 KB

    • Share this item

    To consider the updated recommendations from the Constitution Review Group and agree that changes to Standing Orders in relation to Council meetings are to be made. 

     

    Additional documents:

    Minutes:

    As part of the Constitution Review Group and as the newly elected Vice-Chairman of the Council, Mr Skellett introduced the report. He explained that the Council had last reviewed its council and committee processes at the County Council meeting in October 2014, when it was agreed that the Review Group would re-consider how to handle the number and timing of motions and also the number of signatures required, in the Council’s Petition Scheme, to trigger a debate at full Council.

    He drew attention to the recommendations set out in the Update Report as set out on pages 43 – 45 of the Council agenda and expanded on the reasoning for them.

    Mr Harrison tabled an amendment to the recommendations – amending recommendations (2) and (6) as set out below:

    (2)   There is a presumption that original motions will normally be taken in the order in which they are received.  However, in the event that the number of motions received deems it unlikely that they can be debated within the time limit, or for example, where an excessive number of motions had been received or a number of motions from one Group which might prohibit a balance of debate across the Council, the Chairman has the discretion to determine the order in which they are debated following consultation with Group Leaders and others as appropriate. , but second motions submitted by any Group will be added to the end of the end of the list of first motions submitted by each Group or by an individual Member, in a similar manner to which the Council deals with Member questions. Third motions will follow and so on. 

    (6)   The Chairman’s role is to ensure that the debate on motions is fully heard but that the debate is not prolonged unnecessarily to prevent later motions and debates being given sufficient consideration. but is not unduly repetitive and the debate is not prolonged unnecessarily.

    The remaining recommendations were unchanged in his amendment.

    He said that the Residents Association / Independent Group would prefer an overall time limit rather than a restriction on the number of motions and he also considered adopting a similar approach as Members’ questions was a good approach, so that any second / third motion would be added to the list after all first motions submitted by each Group, because he disagreed with the Chairman using his/her discretion in determining the order of the motions.

    He referred to the option, already available to Council, to defer motions to select committees / Cabinet and also said that as the Constitution Review Group was continuing its work for a further year, there would be a further opportunity to review changes and therefore urged Members to support his amendments.

    Mr Skellett did not accept Mr Harrison’s amendment to the recommendations of the Constitution Review Group because he considered that it removed from the Chairman, the option to determine the order of the motions and therefore, proposed his own amendment to recommendation (2) by  ...  view the full minutes text for item 35/15

    The Leader of the Council or the appropriate Member of the Cabinet or the Chairman of a Committee to answer any questions on any matter relating to the powers and duties of the County Council, or which affects the county.

     

    (Note:  Notice of questions in respect of the above item on the agenda must be given in writing, preferably by e-mail, to Anne Gowing in Democratic Services by 12 noon on Wednesday 13 May 2015).

     

     

     

    Additional documents:

    Minutes:

    Notice of 3 questions had been received. The questions and replies are attached as Appendix E.

     

    A number of supplementary questions were asked and a summary of the main points is set out below:

     

    (Q1) Mrs Coleman considered that the second part of her question had not been answered and asked the Cabinet Member for Business Services to confirm that the Surrey Disability Register was a valuable tool and whether there were any plans for changes to it. The Cabinet Member confirmed that there were no plans to change how this register was administered and that the County Council was taking proactive steps to look at whether any improvements could be made to the process.

     

    (Q2) Mr Robert Evans said that he had put this question today because he had not received a response to his ‘chase up’ email, sent at the beginning of March 2015, requesting an update on any actions following agreement of his ‘Fair Trade’ motion in May 2014. He asked the Cabinet Member for Business Services to investigate and report back to him – she agreed to his request.

     

    (Q3) Mr Robert Evans invited the Cabinet Member for Environment and Planning to visit Stanwell Moor to meet those residents whose bus service was under threat, as part of the Local Transport Review. The Cabinet Member agreed to this request and said that the County Council had been unable to announce any proposed changes to bus services during the pre-election period.

ORIGINAL MOTION

    • Share this item

    Mr Eber Kington (Ewell Court, Auriol and Cuddington) to move under Standing Order 11 as follows:

     

    ‘This Council notes that Members’ Allocations are a key element of localism and an important means by which individual County Councillors are able to support local voluntary groups and valuable community initiatives.

     

    This Council further notes that the recent cut in Member Allocations:

     

    ·                was agreed without any detailed public scrutiny

    ·                has reduced each Local Committee’s Member Allocation by £35,000 and

    ·                has led to a reduction in the both the range and amount of support Members   are able to give to local good causes at a time when there is an even greater demand for assistance from the voluntary, community and faith sectors.

     

    This Council therefore calls upon the Cabinet to review this decision and to restore Member Allocations to its 2014/2015 level.’

     

    Additional documents:

    Minutes:

    Under Standing Order 12.3, the Council agreed to debate this motion.

     

    Under Standing Order 12.1, Mr Eber Kington moved the motion, which was:

     

    ‘This Council notes that Members’ Allocations are a key element of localism and an important means by which individual County Councillors are able to support local voluntary groups and valuable community initiatives.

     

    This Council further notes that the recent cut in Member Allocations:

     

    ·                was agreed without any detailed public scrutiny

    ·                has reduced each Local Committee’s Member Allocation by £35,000 and

    ·                has led to a reduction in the both the range and amount of support Members   are able to give to local good causes at a time when there is an even greater demand for assistance from the voluntary, community and faith sectors.

     

    This Council therefore calls upon the Cabinet to review this decision and to restore Member Allocations to its 2014/2015 level.’

     

    The motion was formally seconded by Mr Beckett.

     

    Mr Kington said that:

     

    ·         That local committees were one of this County Council’s successes

    ·         Member allocations were valued which enabled Members’ to respond to individual requests for funding and therefore the reduction of each local committee Member allocation by £35,000 was disappointing

    ·         None of the Residents Association / Independent Members had been made aware of this reduction. Also, there had been no opportunity to scrutinise this proposal

    ·         It was the Residents Association / Independent Group’s belief that the Conservative Group’s priorities were wrong

    ·         That the funding for the Leader of the Council’s Community Improvement Fund remained unchanged

    ·         All Epsom & Ewell County Councillors had spent their Member Allocation in full

    ·         Local committees were better placed to make informed decisions in relation to local issues.

    ·         As the proposals for devolved funding were being discussed by Central Government, he asked the Leader of the Council when these Member Allocations would be reinstated so that Members could make a difference to their residents.

     

    Seven Members spoke, making the following points:

     

    ·         That the motion was factually incorrect because the reduction related to local capital funding, as set out in the February 2015 Cabinet  / Council Budget papers and this motion had resulted in a misleading story being printed in the local press

    ·         There had been no changes to Members’ allocation in the revenue budget – this had remained at £10,300 for this financial year

    ·         Reduction in the local capital funding for the next two years had been re-directed to fund the increased number of school places required - £3.4m had already been spent in the Epsom & Ewell area, with a further £19.1m earmarked for future expenditure in this area

    ·         That the diminished funding available for local committees to spend risked damaging the reputation of the County Council and there should be a return to the status quo

    ·         Fund raising initiatives should be encouraged as an alternative

    ·         Local committees now have less funding to support worthwhile causes in their areas

     

    After the debate, the motion was put to the vote with 15 Members voting for it and 46 Members voted against it.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 42/15
