HEXHAM TOWN COUNCIL

 

MINUTES OF THE HEXHAM TOWN COUNCIL BURIAL BOARD MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON THE 5 SEPTEMBER 2006

 

487.  PRESENT. Cllr. J B Jonas, Deputy Town Mayor in the Chair together with Cllrs. B Pickering the Town Mayor, Cllrs Mrs I C Whale, M Way and T Robson.

488.  APOLOGIES for absence were received from Cllrs J M Lambert and G C Ferguson.

489.  MINUTES. It was AGREED to receive the minutes of the meeting held on the 22 May 2006, presented to Council on the 5 June 2006.

490.  MATTERS ARISING.

a.       LODGE CH SYSTEM. Minute 477 refers. As previously reported to full Council the tender by J P Westall Ltd had been accepted and the work should be carried out in September/October 2006 and when convenient to the tenant.

b.       CHRISTMAS LIGHTS. Minute 485 refers. Tenders had been requested from NCC and Bartram Walker Ltd. A report will be made to full Council in due course.

491.  WATER SUPPLY. A meeting had been arranged with the Golf Club on the 12 September 2006. A report will be made to Committee in due course.

492.  GREENHOUSE AND MACHINERY STORAGE BUILDING. The planning approval had been received and tenders will be sought shortly. A full report will be made to the Council when tenders have been received. An application for finance will then be made to the PWLB when the total required had been ascertained. The PWLB would not accept applications until the total loan requirement was known. Applications ‘in principle’ were not accepted.

493.  COMPUTER. The memorandum of the Clerk was noted and after consideration it is RECOMMENDED that tenders are obtained for:-

                                                               i.      Supply and setting up a replacement computer in the Council office and the setting up of a broadband connection to the Cemetery office computer and also to the computer sited at the Clerks home office.

                                                             ii.      Setting up of a network link of both computers.

494.  WEB SITE. The memorandum of the Clerk was noted and after consideration it is RECOMMENDED that tenders are obtained for:-

a.       Creating and maintaining a web site for the Council with the title ‘Hexham.gov.uk’ including entry in all major search engines.

b.       Included in the site will be pages for

                                                               i.      Councillors details including an email addresses for each Councillor [eg BPickering@hexham.gov.uk]

                                                             ii.      Hexham history.

                                                            iii.      Hexham Town Council information.

                                                           iv.      Hexham TC Minutes, with searching facility of archive copies.

                                                             v.      Linking pages to [for example] Tynedale Council, NCC, Hexhamnet, Tourist organisations, etc.

                                                           vi.      Local searchable map.

                                                          vii.      Suggestions for additional pages/details are requested from Councillors.

495.  ALLOTMENTS RENTAL. These rents are reviewed annually and due to the period of notice that has to be given of any increase, any change agreed now will commence on the 1 April 2008. It is RECOMMENDED the rent be increased from £40.00 to £44.00 from 1 April 2008. It was also suggested a competition may be held for the ‘Best allotment’. The Mayor agreed to donate a suitable trophy should this competition be agreed and held.

496.  CEMETERY RECORDS. The memorandum of the Clerk was noted. The very poor condition of the Burial record books used [since 1890 or earlier] was a matter of concern. After viewing a demonstration of a computer based storage system suggested by the Clerk, which involved initially on site scanning of all burial record books by TownsWeb Archiving Ltd., it is RECOMMENDED:-

a.       In order to provide a permanent record of all entries on computer disc, all burial record books are scanned and the records also entered into a database so that instant searches can be made from very few known details.

b.       It was noted the quote for scanning alone was £1704.00 and the quote including the database was £5059.00 and that payment may be made over two financial years.

497.  CEMETERY CHARGES. It was RECOMMENDED the charges be increased by approximately 5% to the sums shown on the attached Charges schedule from 1st April 2007.

498.  CEMETERY RULES. It was RECOMMENDED the present Rules remain the same. A copy is attached hereto.

499.  ENTRANCE LAY BY AND GATEWAY TO CEMETERY. The present very poor condition of the tarmac both on the lay by and at the Cemetery entrance gate meant renewal was needed. This work had been listed for the 2006/7 budget but then set aside pending the costing for the new store building. It is RECOMMENDED that the lay by and the entrance gateway are re-tarmaced in 2006/7 alongside and during the construction of the new store building and it is noted the cost will be [estimated] £5456. The pathway adjoining the highway is the responsibility of the NCC and it is RECOMMENDED NCC is asked to re-tarmac the footpath at the same time. The [estimated] cost to the NCC would be £1746.

500.  FINANCE. It is RECOMMENDED the finance required to carry through the Greenhouse and Machine Store building plus the tarmacing of the entrance lay-by be totalled and the Council applies to the PWLB for a loan to cover this total.

501.  INSURANCE REVISIONS. After noting the current figures for cover and the report of the surveyors report of values it is RECOMMENDED the following amendments be made to the policy cover:

a.       Mayors chain of office from £823.67 to £1600.00.

b.       Deputy Mayors chain of office from £300.00 to £800.00.

c.       [West] Chapel from £391,026.79 to £336,000.00.

d.       [East] Chapel, used for storage, from £391,026.79 to £336,000.00.

e.       Entrance walls and gates from £84,221.15 to £62,000.00.

f.        Additionally add for supply only of decorative stonework to all the said buildings £320,000.00.

g.       The Board did not consider the Fidelity Guarantee cover needed to be altered from the current £5,000.00. The suggestion of the audit that it be at least £100,000.00 was not considered necessary in view of the very small amounts of cash and cheques only occasionally held overnight.

h.       All other levels of cover were noted and considered adequate.

502.  The Clerk reported the old toilet accommodation at the farthest western boundary of the Cemetery was planned by him to be renovated in 2007/8. The expansion of the Cemetery towards this area means the public, many elderly; attending funerals have to walk long distances to the nearest WC. This proposal is RECOMMENDED and finance should be included in the 2007/8 budget.

503.  NEXT MEETING. It was AGREED the next meeting would be held on 13 November 2006 at 2.15pm.
