  • 10 December 2014 Extraordinary Council Whole Council Elections For
    10 December 2014 Extraordinary Council Whole Council Elections for Brentwood Borough Council Report of: Ben Bix, Corporate and Democratic Services Manager Wards Affected: All This report is: Public 1. Executive Summary 1.1 This report advises Council of its power to change its electoral scheme to whole council elections. Brentwood Borough Council operates an election scheme by thirds 1, holding a Borough election three years out of four. The typical cost to the Council of a shared election is £69,000; the cost of a sole Borough Council election is £95,000. Whole council elections offer a potential saving of between £138,000 and £195,000 over a four year cycle. The Council can change its electoral cycle should it resolve to do so. 1.2 In order to resolve to change its electoral cycle, the Council must: a) Have taken reasonable steps to consult such persons as it thinks appropriate on the proposed change; b) Convene an extraordinary meeting of Council to consider the proposed change; c) Have at least two-thirds of those voting at the extraordinary meeting of Council vote in favour of the proposed change; and d) Ensure that the year for the first ordinary whole council election is specified in the resolution. This cannot be the same year(s) as whole council elections for the County Council. 1.3 This report facilitates steps b), c) and d) above. Step a) was initiated by Ordinary Council on 22 October 2014. 2. Recommendation that: Council decides whether to retain a scheme of elections by thirds or change to a scheme of whole council elections.
