12 Polling Places

The Council is progressing with the planning for the local government by-elections that are scheduled to take place on 26 November 2020.

It is the responsibility of the Council to maintain the list of polling places and polling districts.

The Council has been advised that Craigie Church Hall and Moncrieffe Church Hall will not be available for this by-election.

Voters from Moncrieffe Church Hall can be accommodated within Moncrieffe Community Centre.

To provide an alternative for Craigie Church Hall, it is proposed that the Dewar's Centre, Perth, is designated as a temporary polling place.

The Council is asked to approve these temporary changes.

Ordinarily, elected members would approve all adjustments to polling places.  However, given the potential impact of Covid-19 on the by-election planning, it is proposed that authority be delegated to the Chief Executive to make adjustments to polling places as required, with changes being advised to elected members for information.
13 Record of Decisions Under Emergency Powers

In addition to the decisions reported on 30 July 2020, Council is asked to note the following decisions taken in response to Covid-19:

(i) 10 March 2020.  The timeline for the review of the Contributions Policy be revised, with the intention to bring forward a report to Council in April 2021 to allow a full and thorough consultation process to take place.
   
(ii) 17 August 2020.  Approval of The Tayside Children's Service Plan 2020-2023 - Joint Statement prepared by NHS Tayside and Perth and Kinross Council (as reported to the Children, Young People and Families Partnership on 18 September 2020)
