Minutes:
The Cabinet had before it a * report of the Head of Planning and Regeneration seeking to enable the establishment of the shared services joint committee to facilitate the delivery of the Building Control Service in partnership with North Devon Council.
The Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Regeneration outlined the contents of the report highlighting the proposed governance and financial arrangements, the pooled budget and trading account, the support services and ICT provision all outlined within the legal documents. There would be no change to the terms and conditions of the staff. The joint service would provide greater resilience and form a better way of working for both authorities.
Consideration was given to:
· The pooled budget
· The balance of resources
· The provision of a resilient responsive service
· Comparable salaries
RECOMMENDED that:
a) A shared services joint committee be established and that the building control function reserved to Mid Devon District Council be delegated to it, such delegation of the building control function to the joint committee being limited to no more than enabling the joint committee to:
i) Oversee the joint building control team; and
ii) Formulate the budget, including any fees and charges, for the joint building control team as a recommendation for approval by each partner authority to the shared services joint committee.
b) The Head of Planning and Regeneration be given delegated authority to place officers within the Building Control team at the disposal of North Devon Council in accordance with section 113 Local Government Act 1972.
c) Delegated authority be given to the Monitoring Officer, in consultation with the Leader, to:
i) Enter into appropriate legal agreements to bring about the shared services joint committee and the joint Building Control team; and
ii) Vary the Constitution to provide and record the appropriate delegated authority as set out at 2 above to the Head of Planning and Regeneration.
(Proposed by Cllr R J Chesterton and seconded by Cllr R L Stanley)
RESOLVED that subject to the above being approved by Council: that the Cabinet Member for Planning and Regeneration and the Leader of the Council be appointed to the joint services committee.
(Proposed by Cllr C R Slade and seconded by Cllr P H D Hare-Scott)
