Mrs A Moore Mr N Smith Mr T FitzPatrick as Portfolio Holder representative RECOMMENDATIONS FROM CABINET 03 NOVEMBER 2014 AGENDA ITEM 12: HALF YEARLY TREASURY MANAGEMENT REPORT FOR 2014/15 Mr W Northam, Portfolio Holder for Finance, introduced this item. He explained that report provided information on the Council’s treasury management activities undertaken during the 2 first 6 months of 2014/15. It was anticipated that the budget target would be achieved at the end of the year. As expected, the pooled property fund, LAMIT, continued to perform well. Mr Northam then explained to members that the credit agencies were beginning the process of removing the uplift in their ratings for government support, which was built into many banks long-term credit ratings. It was possible that some of the banks on the Council’s lending list would be downgraded below the current A- minimum rating requirement. It was therefore proposed that the Treasury Management Strategy was amended to allow investments in lower rated banks (BBB+) at the same time as looking at alternative counterparties and instruments. In addition, it was proposed that the list of approved investments was extended to include Reverse Repurchase Agreements (Repos) which would provide the Council with access to alternative institutions with good credit quality. Mr P W Moore commented as Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee. He said that the Committee supported the recommendations. RESOLVED That the Half Yearly Treasury Management Report for 2014/15 is approved including amendments to the Treasury Management Strategy Statement for 2014/15. 80. RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE CONSTITUTION WORKING PARTY 01 OCTOBER 2014 The Chairman of the Constitution Working Party, Mrs H Cox introduced this item. She referred members to the draft minutes of the meeting which outlined the reasons for recommending the recording of all committee meetings. She proposed that the recommendation should be amended to state: ‘that all committee meetings should be recorded, subject to suitable equipment being purchased and then installed’ The Chairman invited Members to speak: a) Mrs S Arnold commented that the existing equipment in the Council Chamber was quite poor and this would be a good opportunity to review it. b) Mrs B McGoun said that the issue should be looked at quickly as new regulations allowed the public to record meetings and there was the possibility that the recordings could be tampered with or manipulated which could lead to misinterpretation. c) Mr G Jones queried whether the public had to inform the Chairman if they recorded a meeting. The Monitoring Officer confirmed that the law stated the right to record a meeting and therefore it should be assumed that a meeting could be recorded and there was no longer a requirement to inform the Chairman. d) Ms V Gay, in seconding the recommendation, said that she supported the previous comments and that this was the main reason for proposing that the Council made i’s own definitive recording that could be held on file. It was proposed by Mrs H Cox, seconded by Ms V Gay and RESOLVED That all committee meetings be recorded, subject to suitable equipment being purchased and installed. 81. RECOMMENDATIONS THE OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY COMMITTEE 12 NOVEMBER 2014 The Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee confirmed that no further recommendations had been made to Council at the meeting held on 12 November. He informed members that a petition had been submitted in relation to the proposed relocation of 3 the Cromer Market and taxi rank. This had been passed onto Cabinet ahead of the decision to be taken at the meeting on 8th December 2014 regarding this issue. 82. OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY COMMITTEE ANNUAL REVIEW 2013/14 The Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee introduced this item. He said that it outlined the work of the Committee during the previous municipal year. The Committee was committed to getting the public involved in the scrutiny process and this approach seemed to be working. Mr T FitzPatrick said that a report regarding the relocation of Cromer market - the issue highlighted by the petition would be considered at the next meeting of Cabinet and that the decision would be driven by the response to the consultation. Mr G Williams referred to Section 1 of the report which highlighted the importance of Scrutiny and its role. He stressed the reference to it being a function which belonged to and benefitted the whole Council. Mr G Jones supported these comments. He said that it was very important the Committee had more issue-based debates. RESOLVED To receive the Overview and Scrutiny Committee Annual Review 2013/14. 83. TO RECEIVE THE APPROVED MINUTES OF THE UNDERMENTIONED COMMITTEES The minutes of the meetings below were noted as a correct record. a) b) c) d) e) f) 84. Development Committee – 21 August 2014 Development Committee – 04 September 2014 Cabinet – 08 September 2014 Overview and Scrutiny Committee – 10 September 2014 Development Committee – 02 October 2014 Cabinet – 06 October 2014 REPORTS FROM THE CABINET OR MEMBERS OF THE CABINET The Chairman invited members of the Cabinet to speak. The Leader said that Mr R Wright’s replacement on Cabinet would be announced in due course. Mrs A Fitch-Tillett informed members about the work of the Council’s coastal team, highlighting projects in Sheringham, Mundesley, Ostend and Happisburgh. She went onto say that Environment Agency funding had been secured to protect birdlife in Blakeney. She concluded by saying that there was a scheme in the pipeline in Overstrand. 85. QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS None 86. OPPOSITION BUSINESS None 4 87. NOTICE(S) OF MOTION The following Motion had been submitted by Mr E Seward: 'The Constitution Working Party is asked to look at all options to make the governance arrangements for the working of the Council more open, democratic and accountable. In particular, it is requested: 1) That the constitution be reviewed to ensure that all members of the Council have a greater say over decisions and actions pertaining to their own ward. 2) That Full Council meetings have designated question sessions for members of the Council to ask questions of the Leader of the Council, Cabinet Portfolio Holders and Chairpersons of Committees. 3) That options other than the existing Cabinet system of running the Council are identified along with the cost implications. The Constitution Working Party is asked to report back to Full Council before the end of the current municipal year.' The Chairman said that an amendment to the motion had been submitted and he outlined the process for debate. He then invited Mr E Seward to speak. Mr Seward began by saying that the current Cabinet system was imposed on the Council by the Local Government Act 2000. The Localism Act 2011 now gave councils more freedom and flexibility over how they conducted their business and the Council could now choose to move to a different style of governance – choosing a format that suited North Norfolk. Mr Seward said the statutory framework meant that little could be done to make matters more open under the Cabinet system and it was also very difficult to challenge and then change a decision. The system of call-in was rarely used and the process for members to ask a question at Council meetings was onerous. Mr Seward went onto speak about the officer/member protocol which required that local members should be kept informed of decisions that could affect their ward. In practice he did not feel that this was effective. He referred to the Norfolk County Council Local member Protocol which seemed to be more inclusive and covered press releases and the disposal of property and land in a member’s ward. In addition, there was also the opportunity for individual members to question the Leader and Chairmen of Committees at Council meetings, without the need for 10 days’ notice. Before moving the Motion, Mr Seward requested that the Constitution Working Party consider his proposals as soon as practicable. In seconding the Motion, Ms V Gay said that she believed that local government was a force for good. She referred to the importance of transparency and how it underpinned the Nolan principles. She went onto say that the Constitution ensured that the rules of the Council were upheld and open to public scrutiny. The Constitution Working Party was constantly aspiring to do better and this was a good opportunity to ‘begin a new conversation’. The Chairman then invited Mr T FitzPatrick to introduce the proposed amendment. Before doing so, Mr Fitzpatrick said that he wished to include a further amendment and the circulated proposal should now read as: ‘The Constitution Working Party should be expanded to include Group Leaders and asked to examine existing structures to look at all options to ensure the governance arrangements for 5 the working of the Council are more open, democratic and accountable and include examining the committee system and other available governance systems. The Constitution Working Party is asked to report progress to the new Council in May 2015.’ He said that he felt that the last point was very important. Any decision relating to future governance should be taken by the new Council, following the election in May 2015. Mr FitzPatrick went onto say that the introduction of a committee system at the County Council was a huge task that was still ongoing. He agreed that the Local Member Protocol at the County Council was good but said that it should be acknowledged that there were occasions when there were problems with it. The amendment was seconded by Mr G Williams. The Chairman asked Mr Seward if he was willing to accept the proposed amendment to his motion. Mr Seward agreed on the proviso that he received assurance to include the Local Member Protocol as part of the process. Mr T FitzPatrick agreed. The Chairman then invited the Chairman of the Constitution Working Party, Mrs H Cox, to speak. She said that this was a positive opportunity and she welcomed the inclusion of the Group Leaders into the membership of the Constitution Working Party. Her only concern was regarding timescales as the Working Party was only scheduled twice before the election in May 2015. Members were invited to speak: a) Mr P W Moore said that he agreed that the current process for consulting with local members should be improved. b) Mr G Jones said that the proposed approach was sensible. He was concerned that May 2015 was too close for Members to give sufficient consideration to the matter and suggested that June or July would be preferable. The Monitoring Officer replied that the implementation of a new system of governance was circumscribed by a legal framework and could only be agreed at the annual meeting of Council. c) Mr P Terrington agreed that any decision should be reserved for the new Council – even if it meant a delay. He added that the Constitution Working Party had previously made recommendations regarding appointments to Outside Bodies but little had changed and he was therefore concerned that the proposed amendment would water down the original motion. He added his support to the request for more consultation with local members and said that he felt they were not often consulted in a timely manner and on some occasions found out about an issue through reading the minutes of a meeting or even via the press. d) Mr J Perry-Warnes was concerned that there would be a cost involved in changing to a different system of governance. Mr T FitzPatrick replied that the Constitution Working Party would consider this issue. e) Mr R Oliver said that the next administration would decide if they wished to implement a different system of governance. The attendance of the Group Leaders at meetings of the Constitution Working Party meant that they could bring forward the views of their political groups. In seconding the amendment, Mr G Williams said that he felt the original motion was ‘too tight’. He said that he had seen the good and bad points of the committee system prior to the introduction of the Cabinet system in 2000. The change had been introduced then to speed up the decision-making process, however, in order for the Cabinet system to operate effectively it was important to have the Scrutiny function working well. If this happened then the process was fully joined up and there was full engagement with local members, residents and key partners. He concluded by saying that the Localism Act had introduced choice but it was important that all of the issues were considered so that the Council could ensure that the best way forward was chosen. It was even possible that North Norfolk could break new ground as there was the option to choose ‘any appropriate governance structure’. 6 In proposing the substantive motion, Mr Seward said that he felt the debate had been constructive. It was proposed by Mr E Seward, seconded by Ms V Gay and RESOLVED that ‘The Constitution Working Party should be expanded to include Group Leaders and asked to examine existing structures to look at all options to ensure the governance arrangements for the working of the Council are more open, democratic and accountable and include examining the committee system and other available governance systems. The Constitution Working Party is asked to report progress to the new Council in May 2015.’ 88. PRIVATE BUSINESS None The meeting concluded at 7.06pm. _________________________ Chairman 7 Agenda Item 12 DETERMINATION OF COUNCIL TAX DISCOUNTS AND CHARGES FOR 2015/16 Summary: This report recommends the level of council tax discounts and premiums which will apply to second homes, empty properties and uninhabitable dwellings for the financial year 2015/16. The determinations are made by the Council under sections 11A and 11B, and of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, subsequent enabling powers and Regulations made under the Act. Options considered: The recommendations represent a continuation of the determinations made for 2014/15 and take advantage of the reforms included in the Local Government Finance Act 2012 to generate additional revenue and to bring empty properties back into use. Conclusions: The legislation provides local authorities with the power to make changes to the level of council tax discount and premiums in relation to second homes, empty properties and uninhabitable dwellings. The Council has to approve its determinations for each financial year. The calculation of the tax base for 2015/16 will be made on the assumption that the determinations recommended below will apply. Recommendations: 1 (i) (ii) Members are recommended to resolve that under section 11A of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, and in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Finance Act 2012 and other enabling powers that: the council tax discount for dwellings defined as being within Class „A‟ remains at 50% for the year 2015/16; the council tax discount for dwellings defined as being within Class „B‟ remains at 5% for the year 2015/16; those dwellings that are specifically identified under regulation 6 of the Council Tax (Prescribed Classes of Dwellings)(England) Regulations 2003, which will retain the 50% discount; (a) 8 Agenda Item 12 (b) those dwellings described or geographically defined at Appendix A which in the reasonable opinion of the Head of Finance are judged not to be structurally capable of occupation all year round and were built before the restrictions of seasonal usage were introduced by the Town and Country Planning Act 1947, will retain the 50% discount; (iii) the council tax discount for dwellings defined as being within Class „C‟ to remain at 100% for three months for the year 2015/16; (iv) the council tax discount for dwellings defined as being within Class „D‟ to remain at 50% for twelve months for the year 2015/16. 2 (i) 3 Reasons for Recommendations: Members are recommended to resolve that under section 11B(2) of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, and in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Finance Act 2012 and other enabling powers: A premium is charged for properties which have been empty and substantially unfurnished for two years or more of 50% of the council tax payable in relation to that dwelling. In accordance with the relevant legislation these determinations shall be published in at least one newspaper circulating in North Norfolk before the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the date of the determinations. To set appropriate council tax discounts which will apply in 2015/16 in accordance with the legal requirements, to raise additional council tax revenue and encouraging properties to be brought back into use. 1. Introduction 1.1 Local Authorities are required to approve their Council Tax discount determinations each year. 1.2 The legislation provides local authorities with powers to make changes to the level of council tax discount in relation to second homes, empty properties and properties undergoing or requiring major structural repair. 9 Agenda Item 12 1.3 All billing authorities are able to reduce or end the nationally set 50% council tax discount for second homes. The exception to this rule is that billing authorities cannot change the discount for second homes of people who are liable for council tax on dwellings provided by an employer, i.e. tied accommodation, as established under regulation 6 of the Council Tax (prescribed classes of dwellings) (England) Regulations 2003. This Report recommendes that the discount for dwellings falling into Class A remains at 50%, and for Class B dwellings at 5%. 1.4 Billing authorities are able to decide what percentage of council tax to charge, up to the full amount, in relation to dwellings which are undergoing, or have undergone within the last six months, major repairs. These properties fall into Class D for a maximum period of 12 months, and it is recommended that a discount of 50% be applied to such properties as an incentive to bring them back into use. 1.5 Dwellings which are unoccupied and substantially unfurnished fall into Class C. These properties receive a 100% discount for three months. 1.6 Billing authorities can charge a premium of up to 50% of the Council Tax charge for properties that have been vacant for over 24 months. This serves as an incentive to bring long term empty properties back into use. It is recommended that a premium of 50% of the council tax charge continues and is levied after 24 months. 1.7 It is for the billing authority to determine whether changes on discounts apply to all or parts of its area. An area can be as small as one property (provided it can be defined geographically) and different discounts can apply in different parts of the area. 2. Classes of Property 2.1 The Regulations differentiate between classes of property as follows: “Class A” - properties are those which are not an individual‟s sole or main residence, are furnished and have seasonal planning prohibition (i.e. preventing occupation for a continuous period of at least 28 days). “Class B” - properties are those which are not an individual‟s sole or main residence, are furnished and have no restrictions with regard to occupation. “Class C” - properties are those which are unoccupied and substantially unfurnished. “Class D” - properties which are vacant and require or are undergoing major work to render them habitable, are undergoing structural alteration or have undergone major repair work to render them habitable which have been substantially completed for six months and the property has been vacant from that date. “Class E” - the sole or main residence of a person which is empty while that person resides in accommodation provided by the Ministry of Defence i.e. service personnel posted away from home. This Class provides an exemption from the empty homes premium. “Class F” - those properties which form part of a single property which includes at least one other dwelling and is being used by a resident of that other dwelling as part of their sole residence (an annex in a property). This Class provides an exemption from the empty homes premium. 10 Agenda Item 12 3. Formal Determinations 3.1 The Council has to approve its determinations for each financial year. The determinations recommended above reflect a continuance of the existing policy on council tax discounts and premiums. It should be noted that the schedule of Class “B” property exceptions shown in Appendix A and referred to in recommendation 1) b) above, is believed to include all dwellings potentially entitled to retain the 50% discount for the year commencing 1 April 2015 for the reason stated. Under the wording of the 2003 regulations, changes cannot be made to the schedule once the determinations have been made. Should further properties be notified to the Council for possible inclusion in the list for exemptions, they may only be added when the determinations for 2016/17 are made for operation from 1 April 2016. 4. Financial Implications and Risks The calculation of the tax base for 2015/16 will be made on the assumption that the determinations recommended above will apply. Should the determinations recommended above not be adopted for 2015/16, there will be a significant reduction in the Council‟s tax base with a potential direct impact on the level of council tax and / or the ability to finance the budget for 2015/16. Additionally potential funding support from Norfolk County Council for the Big Society Fund (which currently reflects a proportion of its share of council tax on second homes) may be at a higher level of risk.

Options considered: N/A Conclusions: The determination of the tax base for a financial year has to be undertaken in accordance with legislative requirements between 1 December and 31 January of the preceding financial year. Recommendations: a) That the calculations set out in this report used to produce the Council‟s tax base be approved, and the tax base for 2015/16 be determined as 37,274; b) That the tax base for each parish area for the financial year 2015/16 be as set out at paragraph 2.1. Reasons for Recommendations: To determine the 2015/16 Council Tax Base in accordance with legislative requirements and to inform the 2015/16 budget setting process. Cabinet Member(s) Ward(s) affected All All Contact Officer, telephone number and email:Karen Sly, 01263 516243, Karen.sly@northnorfolk.gov.uk 1. Council Tax Base 1.1 The council tax base is the measure of the relative taxable resources of an area and represents the estimated full year equivalent number of chargeable dwellings expressed as the equivalent number of Band „D‟ dwellings. 1.2 The council tax base for a billing authority‟s area, or any part of its area (e.g. parish) must be calculated by the billing authority in accordance with the Local Authorities (Calculation of Tax Base) Regulations 1992 as amended. It is calculated as the aggregate of the “relevant amounts”, calculated for each valuation band, multiplied by the authority‟s estimated “collection rate”. The “relevant amount” represents the estimated full year equivalent number of Band D dwellings after taking into account the number of discounts and disabled reductions which apply to those dwellings. 1.3 The “collection rate” reflects an assessment of how much council tax may not ultimately be collected due to dwellings leaving the valuation list, successful appeals against valuation bandings, increased numbers of exemptions and discounts, and bad debts. The council tax 20 base for tax setting purposes for a financial year has to be determined between 01 December and 31 January of the preceding financial year. 1.4 The calculations below assume that the determinations recommended to this meeting, and included elsewhere on this agenda, in respect of council tax discounts are approved for 2015/16. 1.5 Firstly, the number of chargeable dwellings in North Norfolk for 2015/16 is calculated in the table below: Equivalents Number of dwellings on the council tax data base as at 6 October 2014 LESS No of exempt dwellings 53,194.00 -922.00 Number of chargeable dwellings at 6 October 2014 LESS LESS LESS LESS LESS ADD LESS LESS 52,272.00 Equivalent reduction for dwellings subject to a 5% discount (second homes not entitled to a 50% discount) (-3,863.00 x 0.05) Equivalent reduction for dwellings subject to a 25% discount (including single occupancy) (-15,930.00 x 0.25) Equivalent reduction for dwellings subject to a 50% discount (including tied accommodation, some care homes, and some second homes) (-1,118.00 x 0.5) Equivalent reduction for dwellings subject to a 100% discount (empty up to 3 months) (-377.00 x 1.0) Equivalent reduction for uninhabitable dwellings subject to a 50% discount (-137.00 x 0.5) Equivalent increase for dwellings classed as empty and being charged the empty homes premium (44.00 x 0.5) Equivalent reduction for the Local Council Tax Support Scheme Equivalent reduction for the Family Annexe discount Total equivalent number of discounts -193.15 -3,982.50 -559.00 -377.00 -68.50 22.00 -5,994.46 -11.50 -11,164.11 Number of chargeable dwellings after discounts at 6 October 2014 ADD LESS LESS Dwellings coming on list sometime before 31 March 2016 Properties with seasonal prohibitions Dwellings expected to fall out of list sometime before 31 March 2016 Total reduction in chargeable properties 21 41,107.89 227.50 -179.83 -48.00 -0.33 LESS LESS ADD Additional equivalent reduction for dwellings coming on list before 31 March 2016 expected to receive a 5% discount (second homes not entitled to a 50% discount) (20.34 x 0.05) Additional equivalent reduction for dwellings coming on list before 31 March 2016 expected to receive 25% discounts (including single occupancy) (52.07 x 0.25) Additional equivalent increase for dwellings coming on list before 31 March 2016 and properties with seasonal prohibitions expected to receive a 50% discount (179.11 x 0.5) Net increase in equivalent number of dwellings for discounts -1.02 -13.02 89.56 75.52 Total additional chargeable dwellings 75.19 Number of chargeable dwellings for 2015/16 after discounts 1.6 The calculation of the aggregate of the „relevant amounts‟ for the North Norfolk area for the financial year 2015/16 is shown below: BAND A, subject to reduction for disabilities A B C D E F G H TOTAL 1.7 41,183.08 Total No of chargeable dwellings adjusted for discounts (i) Relevant Proportion Relevant Amount (ii) (i) x (ii) 5/9 25.96 6/9 7/9 8/9 9/9 11/9 13/9 15/9 18/9 6,831.75 10,322.29 9,375.42 7,509.75 4,171.94 1,971.06 904.51 70.40 41,183.08 14.42 4,554.50 8,028.45 8,333.70 7,509.75 5,099.04 2,847.09 1,507.52 140.80 38,035.27 The Council‟s Council Tax Base is then calculated by multiplying the total of the relevant amounts for the year for each of the valuation bands by the Authority‟s estimate of its collection rate for that year. A collection rate of 0.98 is suggested, which allows for 2.00% for non-collection factors that apply each year. This is the same non-collection allowance which is assumed in the current year. The Council Tax Base for tax setting purposes is calculated as follows: 38,035.27 x 0.98 = 37,274.00 22 1.8 The Local Government Finance Act 1992 also requires that a Council Tax Base is determined for each individual parish area within the District. These are detailed in paragraph 2.1 below. 2. Tax Base per Parish 2.1 The amounts calculated in accordance with the relevant regulations as the Council Tax Base for each parish area for the financial year 2015/16 are as follows:- PARISH Council Tax Base Alby With Thwaite 93.99 Aldborough and Thurgarton 209.99 Antingham 116.75 Ashmanhaugh 65.07 Aylmerton 195.20 Baconsthorpe 83.22 Bacton 470.56 Barsham 95.28 Barton Turf 239.15 Beckham East/West 105.76 Beeston Regis 371.25 Binham 165.22 Blakeney 521.49 Bodham 158.87 Briningham 60.14 Brinton 120.32 Briston 804.85 Brumstead 24.70 Catfield 295.35 Cley 298.75 Colby 178.85 Corpusty & Saxthorpe 262.25 Cromer 2,732.79 Dilham 130.58 Dunton 51.52 East Ruston 180.57 Edgefield 176.67 Erpingham 227.89 Fakenham 2,339.96 Felbrigg 67.12 Felmingham 183.66 Field Dalling 132.10 Fulmodestone 175.19 Gimingham 139.43 Great Snoring 77.01 Gresham 160.58 Gunthorpe 143.54 Hanworth 91.29 Happisburgh 288.51 Helhoughton 117.18 Council Tax Base PARISH Hempstead Hempton Hickling High Kelling Hindolveston Hindringham Holkham Holt Honing Horning Horsey Hoveton Ingham Ingworth Itteringham Kelling Kettlestone Knapton Langham Lessingham Letheringsett with Glandford Little Barningham Little Snoring Ludham Matlaske Melton Constable Morston Mundesley Neatishead North Walsham Northrepps Overstrand Paston Plumstead Potter Heigham Pudding Norton Raynham Roughton Runton Ryburgh 23 71.42 175.04 384.67 266.13 196.14 224.25 84.00 1,499.08 115.69 583.45 28.61 759.70 141.42 41.59 56.52 84.23 86.53 143.30 197.26 215.18 121.70 39.95 205.78 474.80 59.68 176.93 52.46 1,052.78 230.95 3,642.55 337.51 418.85 80.28 47.66 392.98 68.93 125.73 314.39 684.33 218.83 PARISH Salthouse Scottow Sculthorpe Sea Palling Sheringham Sidestrand Skeyton Sloley Smallburgh Southrepps Stalham Stibbard Stiffkey Stody Suffield Sustead Sutton Swafield Swanton Abbott Swanton Novers Tattersett Thornage Thorpe Market Thurning Thursford Trimingham Trunch Tunstead Upper Sheringham Walcott Walsingham Warham Wells-Next-The-Sea Westwick Weybourne Wickmere Wighton Witton Wiveton Wood Norton Worstead Council Tax Base 108.58 281.23 268.67 202.35 2,940.06 43.46 84.20 88.40 175.36 314.50 972.25 128.15 126.08 90.69 51.26 86.30 376.06 109.79 142.02 75.76 262.94 89.06 109.12 30.28 103.45 135.51 332.13 252.15 94.38 201.58 336.93 76.72 1,025.70 28.81 310.44 55.48 104.20 120.71 84.88 97.99 302.49 3. Special Items 3.1 These are items taken into account by a District Council, County Council or Police and Crime Commissioner, which relate to a part only of its area. Special items include parish precepts and special expenses. No requirement has been identified for any special expenses in 2015/16 and so it is only necessary to calculate tax bases for each parish. 4. Implications and Risks 4.1 The determination of the tax base is an essential pre-requisite for the setting of the council tax which will be carried out at Full Council scheduled for 25 February 2015. 4.2 Without the determination of the tax base it will not be possible for the council tax for 2015/16 to be calculated and set, thus preventing the timely billing of council tax. 5.

Section 17 Crime and Disorder considerations – None as a direct consequence of this report. 24 Agenda Item No_____14_______ PROGRAMME OF MEETINGS 2015 - 2016 Summary: A draft Programme of Meetings for 2015/16 has been prepared and circulated for consultation and is attached at Appendix B.

Preparation of a Programme of Meetings for 2015/16 1.1 A draft Programme of Meetings for 2015/16 has been prepared and circulated for consultation. The following issues should also be noted. a) It has been assumed that the times of the meetings will be as they are currently, so all meetings will be held in the day, with the exception of Full Council. b) Most standing committees meet on set cycles and this cycle has been retained as closely as possible within this draft programme. However, some variations have been made to avoid clashes with other meetings, particularly Full Council, Cabinet and Overview and Scrutiny Committee meetings. c) The meeting of Full Council which is normally scheduled for October has been moved to November in order to better match workload. d) The January meeting of Cabinet has been made a reserve meeting in response to previous workload at this time of year. e) All meetings of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee have been scheduled at least one week before Full Council, except for the meeting in February. This has been rescheduled two days before Full Council in order to avoid half-term. 25 f) The meeting of the Development Committee site meeting in December 2014 has been brought forward two days to a Tuesday to ensure that there is as little disruption as possible to the strict meeting cycle of the Development Committee over the Christmas / New Year period. g) The Norfolk Show is to be held on 1 and 2 July 2015, which unfortunately clashes with a Development Committee site visit day which has been moved to Friday, 3 July 2015. h) Meetings of the Planning Policy and Built Heritage Working Party have been scheduled to take place monthly, instead of every other month, in anticipation of a review of the Local Plan. 2. i) Meetings of the Joint Staff Consultative Committee have been moved from Mondays to Tuesdays. j) The July meeting of Full Council has been scheduled for a Tuesday so that it does not take place during school holidays. Financial Implications and Risks to the Council If we did not have an agreed schedule of meetings, the Council would not be able to adequately carry out its business. This would have wide-ranging financial and reputational implications and make it difficult, if not impossible, to plan and agree a budget. An agreed programme of meetings is essential to the management of the Council’s business to ensure that it is carried out in a timely manner in accordance with legislation. Failure to do so could result in financial penalty and litigation. Furthermore, if the programme of meetings was not published in the public domain, the Council would not be complying with legislation and would be open to challenge. 3. Equality and Diversity The process of preparing the programme of meetings has included reference to the multi-faith calendar. The times of the meetings reflects the preference of the majority of Members in the current Council. 26 DRAFT PROGRAMME OF MEETINGS 2015/2016 DRAFT MEETING FULL COUNCIL DAY Wed TIME 18.00 MAY 20 JUN 24 CABINET ^RESERVE DAY FOR CABINET OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY COMMITTEE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE Mon 10.00 - 8 Wed 9.30 - Thurs 9.30 DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE (RESERVE) SITE MEETINGS** Thurs 9.30 SITE MEETINGS (RESERVE)** Thurs Thurs STANDARDS COMMITTEE PLANNING POLICY AND BUILT HERITAGE WORKING PARTY JOINT STAFF CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE* MEMBER DEVELOPMENT GROUP** ^RESERVE DAY FOR MEMBER DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP COASTAL FORUM** BIG SOCIETY FUND GRANTS PANEL** GENERAL RESERVE DAYS (FOR POSSIBLE EXTRA MEETINGS) (Tue) OCT - NOV 18 DEC 16 JAN - 6 - 7 5 2/30 - 17 15 - 16 14 11 9 13 28 25 23 20 17 15 12 10 - 11 9 6 3 1/29 26 22 27 18 16 13 10 8 5 3 - 4 27 24 22 19 17 - 16 22 29 3(Fri)/ 30 20 29 26 15 21 30 28 16 25 2/30 15 28 27 25 17 22 14 20 12 17 9 14 - 8 - 8 - 29^ 7 10/17 4/19 7 9/25 (Weds) AUDIT COMMITTEE Tues 14.00 LICENSING AND APPEALS COMMITTEE Mon 10.00 LICENSING SUB-COMMITTEES Weds JUL 21 2015 AUG SEPT 23 (Mon) Tues Mon 14.00 10.00 - Tues 14.30 - - Tues 11.00 - - Tues Mon 10.00 13.00 - 8 10/26 (Weds) 7 11 22 16 20 14 11 10 7 28 25 24 21 12 4 3/31 28 21 18 17 14 8 14 25 20 23 15 14 23 18 15 7 19 18 16 15 22 21 24 - - 9 - 19 6 - 1^ 26 - 1^ 12 7/19 3 30 4/23 4/18 7/27 3/17 8 7 9/18 13/29 Notes: Committees marked * are occasional Committees and will not meet unless express notification is given.
