59.5       The Mayor stated that following the moving and seconding of the various motions, he would open the matter to general debate where all councillors could speak either to the Administration’s budget and/or the amendments.

 

59.2       The Mayor stated that following the general debate the council would then be asked to vote on the Labour Group’s 5 amendments in turn; then on the Green Group’s 6 amendments and finally on the Liberal Democrat Group’s 3 amendments.  The Mayor stated that following the voting on the amendments he would put the substantive motions (as amended as appropriate) to the vote. There would be separate votes on items 3(a), and 3(b), whilst items 3(c) & 3(d) would be taken together.

 

59.3       The Mayor stated that the Director of Finance & Resources and/or the Monitoring Officer could at any stage (but particularly after votes had been cast) choose to remind Members of the proposed substantive budget motion and its implications following the acceptance of any amendments. 

 

59.4       The Mayor also noted that except as otherwise stated all Members would be limited to speaking for 5 minutes each unless an extension was granted. 

 

59.5       The Mayor then called on Councillors Mears and Young to move the Administration’s budget.

 

59.6       Councillor Mears thanked the Mayor and moved the Conservative Administration’s budget as listed in the agenda.  She noted that the budget was being put forward in what was an unprecedented economic climate and was pleased to be able to present a budget with the lowest rise in council tax of 3.5%.  She wished to thank the officers involved in the budget process and also Councillor Young as the Cabinet Member for Finance.  She also noted that the Audit Commission had recently upgraded the council in its criteria for the use of resources and value for money approach.  She was aware that there were difficult issues to address in the coming months but felt that the budget framework would put the council in good stead for the future.  She also stated that in having regard to current economic climate, and whilst acknowledging the work of Independent Remuneration Panel, the Conservative Group had decided that they would not take any inflationary increase in their basic allowances this year.

 

59.7       Councillor Young formally seconded the Conservative Administration’s budget.  She noted that the work undertaken in the previous year had laid the foundations for the budget proposals before the council and that the long-term strategy was to reduce the level of council tax increase for future years.  She also noted that it was intended to offer all residents over the age of 60 and under the age of 16 the chance to swim free for two years.  She would continue to work with officers to maintain a firm financial footing for the council and invest in front-line services.

 

59.8       Councillor Hamilton moved the Labour Group’s five amendments as detailed in the addendum which had been circulated prior to the start of the meeting.  He stated that the budget presented was a standstill budget and expressed concern over the impact on the schools with regard to the equal pay proposals.  He believed improvements were needed in the refuse and recycling collections and yet no action was being taken to address the failures that were evident given the number of complaints he had received.

 

59.9       Councillor Mitchell formally seconded the Labour Group’s five amendments.  She stated that the amendments put forward resulted from discussions with leading business and interest groups in the city and sought to offer improvements that would make a difference to residents and the city.  She also wished to put her thanks on record to the finance officers for their assistance with the proposals.

 

59.10    Councillor Randall moved the Green Group’s six amendments as detailed in the addendum which had been circulated prior to the start of the meeting.  He wished to add his thanks to the officers concerned and hoped that the amendments proposed would be given consideration as they aimed to improve the quality of life for residents and address issues such as lowering the city’s carbon footprint.

 

59.11    Councillor Kennedy formally seconded the Green Group’s six amendments and stated that the intention was to address the issues of climate change and to protect vulnerable residents.

 

59.12    Councillor Elgood moved the Liberal Democrat Group’s three amendments as detailed in the addendum which had been circulated prior to the start of the meeting.  He stated that he was disappointed with the budget proposals put forward by the Administration and hoped that the amendments put forward would be given due consideration.  He also wished to thank the finance officers for their assistance in developing the amendments that had been put forward.  He noted the decision of the Conservative Group not to taken any inflationary increase in the level of basic allowances and stated that the Liberal Democrat Group would similarly forgo any increase for 2009/10, without wishing to prejudice the work and recommendations of the Independent Remuneration Panel.

 

59.13    Councillor Watkins formally seconded the Liberal Democrat Group’s three amendments.

 

59.14    The Mayor then opened the matter up to a general debate and the following Members of the Council spoke on the various motions that had been put forward; Councillors Meadows, Simpson, Steedman, Simson, Hawkes, Mears, Morgan, Cobb, Fryer, Oxley, Duncan and Wells.

 

59.15    The Mayor then stated as there were still a number of Members who had indicated a wish to speak, and having regard to the length of the meeting so far he wished to hold a 10 minute recess and adjourned the meeting at 6.55pm.

 

59.16    The Mayor reconvened the meeting at 7.05pm and reopened the general debate, during which the following Members spoke on the various motions that had been put forward; Councillors Smith, Wrighton, Caulfield, Watkins, Kitcat, Kennedy, Mrs. Brown, Wakefield-Jarrett, Theobald, McCaffery and Ken Norman.

 

59.17    The Mayor then called on Councillor Mears to reply. 

 

59.18    Councillor Mears thanked the Mayor and noted that other Members had asked that the officers responsible for assisting with the drafting of the budget and the proposed amendments, in particular Mark Ireland and James Hengeveld, be thanked for their hard work and assistance given to all councillors.  She therefore wished to add her thanks and to request that they be recorded.  She then responded to the various points that had been raised in the debate and moved the Administration’s budget proposals. 

 

59.19    The Mayor then took each amendment in turn and put them to the vote as follows.

 

59.20    Labour Group Amendment 1

 

Open Hove Library on a Sunday between 10am and 4pm instead of a half day on a Monday, the additional cost is £50,000 per annum.

59.25    The motion was lost.

 

59.26    Labour Group Amendment 4

 

Reject the saving proposal in Libraries and Museums to raise £23,000 per annum through voluntary donations. It is proposed to meet this saving by reducing the £150,000 investment fund to help deliver value for money initiatives identified in contingency by £23,000 per annum.

 

59.27    The motion was lost.

 

59.28    Labour Group Amendment 5

59.29    The motion was lost.

 

59.30    Green Group Amendment 1

 

£10m to support energy efficiency measures across the city

The scheme will provide free loft and cavity insulation for properties across the city. These forms of insulation are the most significant in terms of energy saving and cost effectiveness. It is proposed the council will invest a maximum of £10m into the scheme. The cost of financing the scheme over 20 years is £775,000 per annum.

 

Linking the scheme to an energy supplier who has Carbon Emission Reduction Targets to reach can lever in substantial additional funding to make the scheme even more cost effective.

 

It is proposed that the additional costs of the scheme will be funded by an increase in council tax and basing the residents permit charges on CO2 emissions.

 

Increase Council Tax by 0.5% (i.e. 4.0% instead of 3.5% increase)

The additional increase will generate £550,000 per annum. This is equivalent to £5.95 per annum on a Band D property.

 

Resident permits based on CO2 emissions

The scheme would use a base permit charge of £106.

 

Proposed resident permit charges from 1 July 2009
	% variation from flat rate of £106	Cost of permit
Cars registered after 1 March 2001 based on CO2 emissions:
Band A	-100%	£0
Band B	-50%	£53.00
Band C	-10%	£95.40
Band D	+10%	£116.60
Band E	+30%	£137.80
Band F	+50%	£159.00
Band G	+200%	£318.00
Cars registered before 1 March 2001 based on engine size:
Less than 1,549cc	-10%	£95.40
1,549cc to 2,274cc	+10%	£116.60
2,275cc to 3,000cc	+30%	£137.80
More than 3,000cc	+200%	£318.00

 

The introduction of a revised charging scheme will require a Traffic Order Notice with a period of consultation and therefore could not be implemented until 1st July 2009 so the additional income represents 9 months operation for the proposed scheme. In addition provision has been made for one-off costs for advertising and implementation as well as additional administrative costs in verifying the relevant CO2 banding for vehicles.

 

This proposal is estimated to generate net additional income £225,000 in 2009/10 and £367,000 in a full year.

 

Summary Table	£
Additional cost of borrowing £10m over 20 years for energy efficiency measures	£775,000
Additional revenue through 0.5% increase in Council Tax	(£550,000)
Additional revenue through introduction of CO2 based residents permit charges	(£225,000)

 

59.31    The motion was lost.

Allocate £50,000 to provide a second full-time community worker in Tarner and Eastern Road area (£35,000) and a part time domestic violence worker in Tarner and Eastern Road (£15,000).
