Establishment Of Council Committees For 2017-18 And Appointment Of Members To Serve On Those Committees

Report of the Chief Executive.

Minutes:

 

RESOLVED: On the motion of Councillor Peter Rippon, seconded by Councillor David Baker, that the City Council:-

 

 

 

(a)      notes the political proportionality framework and the illustrative example of how this may be applied in 2017/18, as set out in the report circulated with the agenda for this meeting;

 

 

 

(b)      agrees that, subject to the incorporation of the terms of reference for the single Audit and Standards Committee, the terms of reference of Council Committees in 2017/18 be as currently set out in the Constitution;

 

 

 

(c)      (i) approves the sizes of individual committees to be subject to proportional balance in 2017/18 and the initial allocation of seats to political groups on individual committees before final adjustment, as set out in the report; (ii) agrees that, in order to ensure that each political group has the required number of seats overall in comparison to the total number of seats available on all Committees to reflect their composition on the Council as a whole, (A) the Green Group’s adjustment of two seats be from the Planning and Highways Committee and the Licensing Committee, with those two seats being allocated to the Liberal Democrat Group and (B) the UKIP Group’s adjustment of two seats be from the Economic and Environmental Wellbeing Scrutiny and Policy Development Committee and the Senior Officer Employment Committee, with those two seats being allocated to the Liberal Democrat Group; and (iii) approves the appointment of Members to all Council Committees in 2017/18 to reflect the arrangements now agreed and the wishes of the political groups, in accordance with the schedule circulated at the meeting (and including substitutes where appropriate), and, for the purposes of Council Procedure Rule 25.4, the consent of the Council be given in any case where a Member chooses not to be appointed to serve on any Scrutiny or Regulatory Committee;

 

 

 

(d)      agrees to continue to disapply proportionality to the Senior Officer Employment Sub-Committees and the Appeals and Collective Disputes Sub-Committees for the reasons set out in paragraph 3.2.3 of the report;

 

 

 

(e)      notes that the effect upon the Special Responsibility Allowance element of the budget for Members’ Allowances of the establishment of Council Committees for 2017/18 and the appointments proposed to be made later this day to the positions of Chairs of those Committees, is cost neutral; and

 

 

 

(f)       requests that the impact on the allocation of seats on Council Committees of the result of the Nether Edge and Sharrow Ward By-Election to be held on 22nd June 2017 be reported to the July Council meeting, and that, in the event of any changes to the political composition of the Council occurring during the course of the Municipal Year, political proportionality be reviewed by the Council as soon as practicable thereafter.
