The Barbuda Council, officially the Council of Barbuda, is a local authority that manages the internal affairs on the island of Barbuda. The council has the authority to buy, acquire, hold, mortgage, and dispose of land and other property. It also possesses a common seal and perpetual succession. The Barbuda Council, which has the authority outlined in the Barbuda Local Government Act, is the government of the island and its coastal zone. [3] [4] The members of the Senate who meet the requirements outlined in paragraph (1) of section 6 of the Barbuda Local Government Act, nine elected members, and the member of the House of Representatives from the Barbuda constituency make up the Council. A Commonwealth citizen who is eighteen years of age or older, was born in Barbuda, is the child of parents who were at least one of their parents' birthplaces, or who has lived in Barbuda for at least three years prior to the date of their nomination for election, and who is a regular resident of Barbuda and a registered voter under the Representation of the People Act are all required to be eligible to be elected as a member of the Council. [3]

[3]

Any elected member of the Council will lose their membership and become vacant of their seat if they miss three consecutive meetings without the Chairman's permission, or if they are absent from Antigua and Barbuda for longer than sixty days without permission, or if there are any other circumstances that would disqualify them from running for office. The Chairman will promptly notify the minister responsible and the Supervisor of Elections in writing of the vacancy. [3]

The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda may provide the Council with general or specific instructions regarding the policy to be followed in the exercise of the Council's powers and functions under the Barbuda Local Government Act or any other law, with the exception of the matters and things mentioned in subsection (2) of the Barbuda Local Government Act. It is be legal for an authority to consult the Council on a matter if it believes that the Council's cooperation and assistance would make it easier for that authority to implement or carry out any public business that is its responsibility under the Constitution, the Barbuda Local Government Act, or any other law. In that case, the Council will help the relevant authority in any way it can to implement or carry out that public business. It is also legal for the Council to consult with a relevant authority on any matter where the Council believes that the authority's cooperation and assistance are necessary for the Council to carry out any of its duties, powers, or functions under the Barbuda Local Government Act. In that case, the relevant authority will do everything within its power to support the Council in carrying out its duties, powers, or functions. [3]

The Chairman and the Secretary's signatures must be used to validate any bylaws that the Council makes. [3]

History

The Barbuda Council Millenium Administration Building is the main base for the Secretary of the Barbuda Council.

The Barbuda Council was established in 1976 by the Barbuda Local Government Act. It is an 11-member body consisting of nine directly elected and two ex officio (Barbuda's House and Senate representatives in the national Parliament) members who serve four-year terms.

Councillors serve for four years with elections held every two years in March. [5]

Committees

The Barbuda Council currently has five different committees: Finance, Works and General Purposes, Health, Social Welfare and Disaster, Tourism, Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs, and Agriculture, Land, Forestry, Fisheries, Coastal/Marine Protection. The Council will establish a Finance Committee, a Works and General Purposes Committee, and a Health and Social Welfare Committee at its annual meeting. A council member is eligible to be appointed to multiple committees. Other committees may be appointed by the Council for any general or particular reason. Except from the authority to create bylaws, collect money, adopt the yearly budget, or borrow money, the Council may assign any duties it performs to a Committee that it appoints, with or without restrictions or conditions. [3]

Barbuda's secession request

The government is taking the unprecedented step of presenting the matter to the Parliament after it received a letter from the Barbuda Council requesting that discussions commence on the separation of Barbuda from Antigua and Barbuda [6] In the letter dated 31 August 2020, Council Secretary, Paul Nedd, informed Cabinet Secretary, Konata Lee, that the Barbuda Council wished to secede from Antigua to determine a separate future for Barbuda and its people. [6]

Elections

The Governor-General must designate a suitable individual to serve as the Supervisor of Elections. The responsibility for overseeing and managing the overall management of elections is on the Supervisor of Elections. The Returning Officers, Presiding Officers, and Poll Clerks that may occasionally be required for the administration of elections may be appointed by the Supervisor of Elections. The register of electors for an election serves as the register for the member of the Barbuda constituency's election to the House of Representatives. Voting in the election of a Council member is open to anybody whose name is in the aforementioned register. [3]

When the Governor-General sets a date for an election in accordance with section (13)(1) of the Barbuda Local Government Act, the Supervisor of Elections must promptly arrange for notices announcing the election to be published in the Gazette, posted on the outside doors of the Council office, any church with permission from the relevant Minister, any police station, any Government School, and in any other prominent locations they deem appropriate. The notices must be posted for a minimum of ten days prior to the election date. [3]

The four members who received the fewest votes in the first election under the Barbuda Local Government Act will retire from office after two years, but they will be eligible to run again. In order to fill the seats left empty by the retiring members, an election will be held on a date that the Governor-General appoints within eight weeks of the date of the members' retirement. Following the election held in accordance with subsection (I) of the Barbuda Local Government Act, the five elected members who had not yet retired will take office and be eligible for reelection. Subsequent elections will then be held at regular intervals of two years between each election, and the members will retire in rotation at each alternate election in groups of four or five, as may be appropriate, with each retiring group of members always being eligible for reelection. The tenure for an elected member of the Barbuda Council is four years. [3]

A two-thirds majority of the Council's members may vote in favor of a motion requesting the Council's dissolution at any time. [3]

The Elections Rules included in the First Schedule to the Representation of the People Act apply to elections held under the Barbuda Local Government Act if no rules have been made by the Cabinet, which has the authority to make regulations to govern the conduct of elections under the Barbuda Local Government Act. [3]

Chair of the Barbuda Council

In January of every year, the council must elect a chairperson and a deputy chairperson before the Barbuda Council proceeds with any other business. [7] In a year where an election is held, at the first sitting of the council after the election, this is also an instance where the council must elect a chairperson and a deputy chairperson. [7] If the chairperson or the deputy chairperson resigns, dies, or becomes disqualified from serving in the council, the vacancy must be filled by an election of a new chairperson or deputy chairperson. [7] If the chairperson is to resign from the council, the chairperson must address a note to the secretary of the council. [8]
