1 Council Roles, Duties and Responsibilities The Chairperson Is appointed annually by a council (Local Government Act 1972 ss14 & 43) Is responsible for ensuring that the Councils main purpose its resolutions are reached, without reasonable delay, intelligibly, lawfully and for the right reasons. The Chair signs Minutes to this effect and cannot make decisions without the approval of the Council The Chair is in charge of Council meetings and is responsible for conduct and procedures as in Standing Orders. The Chair has no more authority over the Clerk than other Members. It is essential that the Chair maintains a close working relationship with the Clerk to ensure the Council is well- informed and advised. Whilst the clerk, as Proper Officer, has a responsibility for the formulation of agendas for the Council meetings, the Chair should be consulted and advised on the content and context of the Agenda, enabling the chair to better expedite the meetings business. The Chair introduces items, encourages contributions from Councillors, summaries and ensures decisions are reached without delay or lengthy debate. The Chair has a [second] casting vote in the event of a tied vote. The Chair is frequently the Council s public face at local meetings and may be paid an allowance (LG Act 1972 s 15[5] and 34[5]) to enable them to fulfil their function. The Clerk The Clerk is (normally) a paid Officer appointed by and responsible to the Council as a body, not to any individual Councillor. Their actions are governed by majority voting of the Council, not by orders from the Chairperson or other Councillor. The Clerk is usually the Proper Officer@ of the Council and is frequently also the Responsible Financial Officer. The Clerk advises the Council on Policy, legal and factual matters from an independent position, despite being an employee, and guides the Chairperson on procedural matters and issues. The Clerk ensures that their actions subsequent to Council decisions are within relevant rules, regulations and procedures. The Clerk administers the affairs of the Council. From time to time actions are taken without a Council decision, for example to initiate the procedure to elect a new Councillor after a resignation or to take emergency measures; in these cases the actions are reported to the next Council meeting. Delegated powers may be given to the Clerk to cover such actions and these may be covered in the job description. A Clerk s job description will include responsibilities for agendas, minutes, correspondence, media relations, research, staff management and if (RFO) accounts and Budgets.

2 The Councillors as individuals Councillors are elected for a four year term of office or, if elected at a bye election or co-opted, for the remainder of the Council s term. Once elected or co-opted Councillors must sign a declaration of Acceptance of Office and of the Code of Conduct for Councillors immediately and complete a form for the Registration of Members Interests within 28 days. The latter is forwarded to the monitoring Officer. (Local Government Act 1972 & Declaration of Acceptance of Office Order 2001.) Councillors must declare personal or prejudicial interests, behave ethically, represent the views of the Council in public formally or informally in a positive manner, attend meetings (or present appropriate apologies), regularly participate positively in discussion and abide by the majority decisions of the Council even if these may be in conflict with their own view. Councillors should seek actively to represent the views of the community and its needs and wants. It is important that Councillors seek the Clerk s advice if they are in doubts about actions or facts and that they prepare for meetings by being familiar with the Agenda and accompanying documents. The Council as a Corporate Body Parish councils were established by Statute in Decisions are the responsibility of the whole council and binding on all members. Local Councils are the first tier of local Government and as such are closest to electors and residents and they must serve all of them equally and equitably, whilst balancing the differing needs of sections of its community. (It may have promulgated its own Equal Opportunities Policy that enshrines this.) The Council Raises money through taxation (the Precept) Spends money lawfully, seeks Best Value and assesses risks in expenditure in advance Can provide a range of services to the community as empowered by statute (esp. Local Government Act 1972) Makes representation to other (higher) authorities on matters that effect its community Is responsible for the services it provides. In fulfilling this work it is essential that good working relationships are developed with District and County Councils. As a corporate body, Councils have a responsibility for ensuring the delivery of services and generating ideas and constructive debate to involve the community in its development; such activity should be open and honest and is a key to an active Council meeting the needs and hearing the views of its residents.
