Leaders Statement
Ipswich Borough Council COUNCIL TAX INFORMATION 2020/21 Message from Councillor David Ellesmere, Leader, Ipswich Borough Council: Ipswich Borough Council will continue to provide a wide range of quality services to the people of Ipswich despite the threat of major cuts in government funding. We are currently predicting that the Government will cut the amount of money it gives to Ipswich by £6m over the next four years. If the Government continues to cut the council’s funding at this rate it will be impossible to protect all council services in the future. However, due to our approach of finding innovative ways of making savings and increasing income – for example by investing in commercial property – we do not anticipate the need to make any significant cuts to frontline services over the coming year. This means that brown bin collections will remain free of charge unlike everywhere else in Suffolk. We will keep the free summer iCard for young people and continue to support bus services in Ipswich. We will maintain our ambitious council house building programme and we will not cut funding to community organisations such as Citizens Advice. We will continue to provide events in Ipswich such as Music Day and the Maritime Festival. The council’s skills in putting on these large scale events enabled us to bring the Ed Sheeran concerts to Chantry Park and ensure they ran smoothly. We also plan to make a number of investments over the coming year in new electric vehicles, home insulation and solar panels which will both save money and reduce carbon emissions. -

The Labour Party WHO’S WHO in the EAST
The Labour Party WHO’S WHO IN THE EAST NOT AN OFFICIAL LABOUR PARTY DOCUMENT Stephen Thomas| 12th April 20 0 https://socialistandtradeunionism.org/ Forward The first steps into socialist politics can be a minefield. Like many organisations the membership has different views but has one socialist theme on how we should represent the people, take the Party forward and lead the Country. We have recently lost yet another General Election. Labour’s, some would say, knee jerk reaction, has led to a swing to the right after several years to the socialist left under Jeremy Corbyn. Whichever way you look at it, it is the members of the party that choose the policies and it is the Leaders responsibility to deliver on them. The choice of the leader is how to implement them and ignite the country so once again they too can believe in our socialist values. At the time of writing, the world is going through a Pandemic, with tens of thousands of people dying. The Conservative Party is in power with a massive majority and are at their most popular, mainly through implementing Labour’s socialist policies. Now collectively known as frontline staff, the country has come to recognize the worth and value of our NHS, careers and cleaning staff. Political theories have entwined with each other and some would fear it has now become more difficult to distinguish between the political Parties. Once the survivors return to a normal way of life, where we can once again visit our family and friends, go to work, walk in the countryside and visit the seaside, then please don’t let the country return to the old Conservative ways of doing things. -
Council-Manager Form of Government
OVERVIEW OF CITY ORGANIZATION COUNCIL-MANAGER FORM OF GOVERNMENT Dallas’ government has changed and grown - from a mayor and six aldermen, to a commission with a mayor and four commissioners elected at-large, to the present council-manager system that has been in place since 1931. Originally, the council was composed of nine members and the mayor, who was elected by council vote. In 1951, the eight council members and mayor were all elected at- large. The structure changed again in 1968 to 10 council members and the mayor, who were all elected at-large, but eight council members represented specific districts. Later, in 1979, eight council members were elected from single-member districts with two council members and the mayor elected at-large. Our current system began in 1991 with 14 council members elected from single-member districts and a mayor elected at-large. The mayor is elected for four years, and council members are elected for two-year terms. Council members can serve up to four consecutive two-year terms. A mayor’s term is limited to two consecutive four-year terms. Council-manager government combines citizen input-through elected council members- with the professional training and experience of a city manager. The City’s organization under this plan is similar to that of a corporation. The mayor and city council serve as the equivalent of a board of directors. They set the public agenda, adopt policy and laws and appoint the city manager, city auditor, city attorney, and city secretary. In Dallas, the manager oversees City operations with an executive team of assistant city managers, each responsible for various departments. -

M EMORANDUM To: City Council; City Manager From: Mary A. Winters, City Attorney; Elizabeth Oshel, Associate City Attorney Re: Drawing Voting Districts Date: June 6, 2017 QUESTION What are the legal requirements for drawing voting districts in the city of Bend? ANSWER The City is bound by the U.S. Constitution, federal Voting Rights Act, and Oregon law in determining how to draw any wards or districts for election of city councilors. Cities may set their own rules for electing their city councils, and drawing districts, because Art. XI, § 2 of the Oregon constitution gives the legal voters of every city power to enact and adopt their own charters, through the home rule provisions of the Oregon Constitution. The City must follow the Oregon Secretary of State’s directive in creating or redrawing voting districts. Traditional principles of districting such as equal population, compactness, and contiguity should be the primary considerations. The racial composition of districts should be considered only if necessary to comply with the Voting Rights Act. 1. Principles of Districting and Oregon State Law Traditional districting principles should be used to draw voting districts. First, districts must be drawn with the goal of equal population. An equal population goal “is a background rule” underlying all other considerations in drawing electoral maps. ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE Page | 1 Alabama Legislative Black Caucus v. Alabama, __ US __, 125 SCt 1257, 1271 (2015). In addition to equal population, traditional principles of districting include: Compactness, contiguity, respect for political subdivisions or communities defined by actual shared interests, incumbency protection, and political affiliation. -

So You Want to Be an Elected Official
So you want to be an elected official... Practical information for people running for office in Washington’s cities and towns Introduction Why are you running for election to a local office? This is a question that every candidate will be asked – and a question that every candidate must carefully consider. Most often, people run for office because they are deeply committed to their city or town and want to influence the community’s direction. At times, people run because they are passionate about a single issue or problem. A single controversy – such as a land use or zoning decision – could dominate an entire election campaign. But once the election is over, things change. Candidates who have won an election based on their position on a single issue soon discover that they are responsible for a much broader array of challenges. The platform they ran on may not even be on the council’s agenda. Getting it placed there will only be possible if they are willing and able to work cooperatively with other members of the council, many of whom will have their own issues to champion. In order to be effective, elected officials must work as part of a team to establish a shared vision for the future, develop goals and plans that make that future possible, and work with their colleagues and constituents to enact the local policies and laws that will ultimately lead to accomplishment. Holding a public office is an act of service to the public – that is, service to all the residents of a city or town, not just those who share your views or those who voted for you. -
