REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REMUNERATION PANEL pdf icon PDF 200 KB

    • Share this item

    To receive the report of the Independent Remuneration Panel and any changes to the Members’ Allowances Scheme.

     

    Additional documents:

    Minutes:

    The Council was asked to consider the report and the recommendations of the Independent Remuneration Panel and agree a Scheme of Allowances.

     

    The Leader of the Council moved an amendment, which was tabled at the meeting (Appendix C).

     

    Mr Hodge made the following points:

     

    ·         The basic allowance had remained unchanged since 2008 and that Special Responsibility Allowances (SRAs) for Cabinet Members had not increased since 2006.

    ·         The Panel had used Hay Evaluation Methodology for determining SRAs, which he considered inappropriate because it failed to take into account the political responsibility of Members.

    ·         He would be asking the Chief Executive to review the terms of reference of future Independent Remuneration Panels.

    ·         His amendment proposed significant changes to the SRAs for Cabinet Associates, Select Committee Chairmen and the Pension Fund Board Chairman.

    ·         He also proposed allowances for opposition group leaders, where their party had a minimum of 10% of the elected Members of the Council.

    ·         He believed that it was the intention that the amended scheme should take effect from May 2013, the start of this administration and therefore he proposed a one-off payment to any increase that the Member would have been eligible for.

    ·         That all allowances would be index linked and adjusted annually, in accordance with the Consumer Price Index.

    ·         Finally, he referred to the Members of the Adoption and Fostering Panels and proposed a SRA of £1000 for them.

     

    This amendment was formally seconded by Mr Skellett who said that the level of political responsibility for each role had been carefully considered and benchmarked against comparative data from other authorities in the South East area. Surrey’s allowances had fallen significantly behind these authorities. He also said that the Leader and Deputy Leader had taken no part in the discussion concerning the allowances proposed for their roles.

     

    Six Members spoke on this amendment, making the following points:

     

    ·         The Leader / Deputy Leader had overall responsibility for the County Council’s annual budget of approximately £1.7billion. Also, since they had been in their respective roles, significant savings had been made to the Budget.

    ·         The SRAs were not out of proportion to their level of responsibility.

    ·         The IRP report said that the basic allowance was not supposed to be a financial incentive. However, the same could not be said for the SRAs.

    ·         Most of the SRAs were awarded to Conservative councillors.

    ·         It was unacceptable for Members to award large increases to the Leader / Deputy Leader when some residents struggled to pay their council tax.

    ·         It was outrageous that Members considered awarding these increases when services were being cut and many residents were not receiving pay rises.

    ·         That the IRP’s approach was logical and an element of ‘catchup’ was accepted.

    ·         The proposed allowances for the Cabinet team were significant.

    ·         Surrey staff had only received small pay increases in recent years.

    ·         Member Allocations had been reduced this year.

    ·         There were four new allowances proposed which had not been through the IRP.

    ·         Councillors who only received the basic allowance of approximately £12K per annum, most  ...  view the full minutes text for item 33/14

ORIGINAL MOTIONS

    Item 13(i)

     

    Mr Robert Evans (Stanwell and Stanwell Moor) to move under Standing Order 11 as follows:

     

    ‘This Council welcomes the initiatives by towns and local authorities across Surrey to encourage the use of fair trade goods by achieving Fairtrade status.

     

    Furthermore this Council believes that Surrey County Council, as an important consumer and opinion leader, should research, develop and support a strategy to facilitate fair trade wherever appropriate.

     

    Council therefore resolves, wherever possible:

     

    ·         To promote awareness of fair trade issues and the opportunities for supporting fair trade across the County.

     

    ·         To work with Surrey Fairtrade and those towns who already have Fairtrade Status to widely publicise the worldwide impact of unfair trade and the opportunities that fair trade provides to sustainable development.

     

    ·         To encourage the use of fair trade goods, for example products carrying the Fairtrade Mark and products in vending machines.

     

    ·         To request the Council's venues to stock Fairtrade products in addition to other brands.

     

    ·           To concentrate on making Council employees, the Surrey public and local businesses aware of the Council's resolution on fair trade.’ 

     

     

    Item 13(ii)

     

    Mrs Hazel Watson (Dorking Hills) to move under Standing Order 11 as follows:

    ‘This Council notes the recent publication of the House of Commons Public Administration Select Committee report More complaints please!

     

    In the light of this report, Council agrees to fundamentally change its policy and the implementation of its approach to complaints in order to welcome complaints as a way of engaging with residents to improve services, making the complaints process more user friendly by making it simpler, more accessible and with speedier outcomes.’

     

     

    Item 13(iii)

     

    Mr Will Forster (Woking South) to move under Standing Order 11 as follows:

     

    Council notes:

     

    ·         Young Carers are children and young people in Surrey’s schools and colleges who provide regular and on-going care to a family member who is physically or mentally ill, disabled or misuses substances;

    ·         the tasks and level of caring undertaken by Surrey’s Young Carers can vary according to the nature of the illness or disability, the level and frequency of care needed and the structure of the family as a whole;

    Council further notes that:

     

    ·         the support Surrey County Council currently offers is through school staff and governors;

    ·         many schools have a designated member of staff for Young Carers;

    ·         many governing bodies now include the performance and well-being of Young Carers as an agenda item at their meetings, which should be considered “best practice”.

    ·         the Pupil Premium is an additional allowance to support certain groups of children and young people at risk of not achieving their potential;

    ·         children entitled to free school meals are eligible for Pupil Premium of £1,300 a year for primary pupils and £935 a year for secondary pupils;

    ·         whilst eligibility for free school meals is the main criteria for entitlement to Pupil Premium, other groups are also entitled to Pupil Premium including children in care, adopted children,  children in hospital schools and service personnel children;

    ·         including Young Carers within Pupil Premium eligibility would enable schools  ...  view the full agenda text for item 37/14

    Item 13(i)

     

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

     

    Under Standing Order 12.1, Mr Robert Evans moved the motion, which was:

     

    ‘This Council welcomes the initiatives by towns and local authorities across Surrey to encourage the use of fair trade goods by achieving Fairtrade status.

     

    Furthermore this Council believes that Surrey County Council, as an important consumer and opinion leader, should research, develop and support a strategy to facilitate fair trade wherever appropriate.

     

    Council therefore resolves, wherever possible:

     

    ·         To promote awareness of fair trade issues and the opportunities for supporting fair trade across the County.

     

    ·         To work with Surrey Fairtrade and those towns who already have Fairtrade Status to widely publicise the worldwide impact of unfair trade and the opportunities that fair trade provides to sustainable development.

     

    ·         To encourage the use of fair trade goods, for example products carrying the Fairtrade Mark and products in vending machines.

     

    ·         To request the Council's venues to stock Fairtrade products in addition to other brands.

     

    ·           To concentrate on making Council employees, the Surrey public and local businesses aware of the Council's resolution on fair trade.’ 

     

    Mr Robert Evans made the following points:

     

    ·         Many towns in Surrey already have Fairtrade Status but there was a need to encourage others to take this step.

    ·         A need to work towards everyone achieving a dignified livelihood.

    ·         The Fairtrade Mark could make a real difference for some farmers, in distant parts of the world – it can ensure that they receive a fair price for their crops.

     

    The motion was formally seconded by Mr Essex who said that he was pleased that Members would be given a free vote on this motion, it was a non-party political motion. He also said that the Fairtrade mark was mostly about those products that could not be produced in the UK – the motion was not asking for exclusivity, it was seeking to promote fairtrade towns across Surrey.

     

    Other Members spoke, making the following points:

     

    ·         Statistics indicated that Fairtrade businesses were doing well.

    ·         The importance of choice in shops.

    ·         Fairtrade was an impressive organisation and its initiatives were strongly endorsed.

    ·         Fairtrade needed to be encouraged but its exclusive use was not supported.

    ·         If Fairtrade status enabled some overseas countries to become more stable, that was a good thing.

    ·         The Fairtrade logo raised awareness and encouraged people to think about the origin of the produce / food.

     

    After the debate, in which 8 Members spoke, the motion was put to the vote with 51 Members voting for and 8 Members voting against it. There were 4 abstentions.

     

    RESOLVED:

     

    This Council welcomes the initiatives by towns and local authorities across Surrey to encourage the use of fair trade goods by achieving Fairtrade status.

     

    Furthermore this Council believes that Surrey County Council, as an important consumer and opinion leader, should research, develop and support a strategy to facilitate fair trade wherever appropriate.
