Conservation centre at La Mielle de Morville, St. Ouen - questions and answers (Tape No. 332)
Deputy Philip John Rondel of St. John asked Deputy Harry Hall ewell Baudains of St. Clement, Vice-President of the Planning and Environment Committee, the following questions -
On 23rd May 1995 the States adopted a
p roposition of the Planning and Environment C ommittee approving drawings for the
c onstruction of a single-storey
c onservation centre at La Mielle de
M orville, St. Ouen, the States having been
a dvised that the cost of construction would
b e £76,016.
1 . Would the President advise members of t h e final cost of the construction and,
i f th e costs have increased from the
f ig u re given to the States, explain the
r e as ons for the increase?
2 . Have any other costs been incurred in d e v eloping the conservation centre?'' The Vice-President of the Planning and Environment Committee replied as follows -
1. T he Frances Le Sueur Centre was
o p en e d in late January this year -
ah e a d of schedule and well within th e b u dgeted cost for this unique
an d v i tally important project. The to t a l c ost for the whole project
w a s £ 1 38,200.
T h e figure quoted by Deputy Rondel n e e ds to be put into perspective -
W h e n the drawings were approved b y t h e States in May 1995 they
w e r e o nly voting on the plans, not
o n t h e project costs. The
es t im a ted construction cost of
£7 6 ,0 1 6 was provided for
in f o rm ation purposes, not for a
v o te .
T h e f ig ure quoted was quite
cl e a rl y for construction only - it w a s n o t total project costs. These ad d i t io nal expenses include site cl e a ra n ce, design, fitting-out and co n s u l tancy costs.
T h e C ommittee had sufficient
re s o u r ces within its budget to
m e e t t he needs of the project. In 1 9 9 4 t he States voted £50,000 for th e fi rs t phase. Additional costs w e r e m et from existing votes and th e C e ntre was completed by the en d o f 1995.
In 1 9 9 5 the Finance and
E c o n o mics Committee had agreed to re c o m mend to the States £120,000 fo r t h e Centre in the 1996 budget.
In th e event this budget item was
re - a ll o cated because costs had
al r e ad y been met.
In th e event, the project finished w e ll ah ead of schedule, providing a v a lu a ble resource from January th i s y e ar.
2 . During the course of the project
g e n eral construction costs did increase f ro m the tender estimate of £76,016 to
£9 8 ,602. This increase was required to
i n co rporate minor changes in the design t h at reflected the changing rôle of the
P l a nning and Environment Committee as c o - ordinators of environmental policy.
T h e original specifications were
u p g raded to provide two significant
i n v estments that help ensure this
u n i que Centre is a leading example of b u i lding practice with the needs of
p u b lic, the needs of the environment a n d the need for long-term economic e f fi ciency firmly in view -
It w a s agreed that £5,231 should b e s p e nt to provide improved
ac c e s s for disabled people. This ta k e s t he form of a timber ramp an d b r idge to allow efficient
w h e e lc hair access.
It w a s also agreed that £8,965
sh o u l d be spent to invest in
u p g ra d ing the environmental
d es i g n . This included the fitting
o f s o la r panels and improving the sp e c i fi cation of wall insulation.
A s a d irect result of these
en v i r o nmental improvements to the
o ri g in a l design, the costs to
h ea t , li ght and power equipment
ar e re d uced and it is expected
th a t s u ch energy saving and cost- cu t t in g methods will prove to be an i n v estment rather than an
ex p e n s e in the long-term by paying b ac k th e costs of their
in t ro d u ction.
A d ditional architects' instructions for m in or adjustments added a further
£4 , 270 and £4,118 was required to
s u p plement a shortfall in salvaged
m at erial from the OTC site bringing the t o ta l costs of construction to £98,602.
I n a ddition, expenses for fitting-out
t h e Centre added £18,271. Architects' f e es totalled £12,497, £2,250 was paid i n e ngineering fees and £6,641 was
i n cu rred on direct costs.
T h i s total project cost of £138,262 is a n i nvestment in all accounts. It is an i n v estment in environmental, financial
a n d community terms.
T h e environmental investment is clear -
i n n ovative design that fits in well
w it h the environment of Les Mielles,
t h e use of recycled materials,
e f fe ctive use of energy conservation
m ea sures and use of solar panel
t e ch nology all make sound environmental s e n se.
I n f inancial terms, the building is
a l so a winner - architects have
e s ti mated that such a building would c o s t over £200,000 if built from
s c ra tch - over £50,000 of which was s a v ed just from recycling OTC
m at erials - not to mention the savings m ad e by not having to use the 1996 b u d get allocation.
I n p ublic terms, the building is
a l re ady a major success. The Centre has b e e n open ten weeks and already more t h an 400 youngsters from schools and y o u th associations have used the
f a ci lity to help understand the natural
h i st ory of Jersey. In addition, a
s e ri es of Sunday lectures on matters of e n v ironmental and historical interest
h a s attracted a further 350 people.
O th er local groups are also using the
f a ci lity for meetings.
I t' s not just the Committee that are
c o n vinced the project is a good
i n v estment - interviews have been given t o j ournalists from Holland, Belgium,
S w itzerland and Austria. This
i n te rnational exposure will help
a d v ertise the Island as a destination
f o r the green' tourist.
I n f act, this unique project has been
s o p ositively regarded that it has been
e n te red into no less than three
n a ti onal competitions - the Royal
I n s titute of British Architects 1996
A w ard for Architecture, the Engineering C o u ncil 1996 Environment Award for
E n g ineers and the Green Building of the Y ea r Award.
I n c onclusion, the Frances Le Sueur C e n tre meets the needs of the public p u r se, the environment and the public. I t is a project that is already paying
b a c k dividends in terms of value to the c o m munity and will recoup some of the c o s ts through innovative energy
m an agement. In all, it is a fitting
e x a mple of good practice of which the S t a tes should be proud.''
Leak of confidential information in the Jersey Evening Post - statement
The President of the Establishment Committee made a statement in the following terms -
Members are aware that the contents of a
h ighly confidential Committee document
c oncerning the possible early retirement of a number of senior executives within the
P ublic Services Department were leaked to, a nd published in, the Jersey Evening Post
o n Thursday, 7th March and that my
C ommittee has taken a serious view of what w as, we suspect, a malicious act involving
a flagrant breach of trust.
I would like to state at the outset that I
a m acutely aware of the sensitivity of my
p osition as Chairman of the Guiton Group,
t he parent company of the Jersey Evening
P ost, and as a director of the newspaper
c ompany itself. I speak this morning
h owever entirely as President of the
E stablishment Committee and neither I nor
m y Committee regard my connections with the n ewspaper as directly relevant to this
i ssue.
M uch as I deplore it, leaks to the media
o f sensitive and confidential States
i nformation are, sadly, now almost accepted a s inevitable and a regular feature of
p olitical life. This leak was, however,
p articularly serious in that it disclosed
h ighly confidential information relating to n amed servants of the public who had every r ight to expect my Committee to offer them, a nd their families, full protection in this
r egard.
A s soon as the offending article was
p ublished I wrote to the individuals
c oncerned offering my sincere apologies and t hose of my Committee. I would like to
r epeat that apology publicly this morning.
T hey should never have been put into this p osition and I am extremely sorry that they w ere.
I am also extremely angry that the
i ndividual responsible for the leak so
c alculatingly breached the trust placed in
h im in what was, presumably, a deliberate a ttempt to sabotage the proposed restructuring of the Public Services
D epartment. In so doing he put at risk that r estructuring, with all the consequential
b enefits - which are considerable - that it
w ould have to the department and to the
t axpayer. Furthermore he put at risk the
e ntire reputation and credibility of the
E stablishment Committee and with it our
a bility to perform the role entrusted in us
b y the States, which by its nature involves d ealing with items of the utmost confidence
o n an almost everyday basis. He has also,
o f course, caused the finger of suspicion
t o be pointed at a number of completely
i nnocent parties, particularly members of
t he Establishment Committee and certain
s taff within the Personnel Department. This i s, in itself, quite shameful and I
a pologise to them for the embarrassment
t hey have been caused and for my inability p ublicly to clear their name by identifying
t he source.
I t is because we are so acutely aware of
o ur responsibilities and indeed our
o bligations in this respect that my
C ommittee has given the most serious
c onsideration to resigning. However it is
v ery late in the life of this States
A ssembly to be electing a new Establishment C ommittee, particularly with the next wage
r ound about to begin, and there would be no p oint whatsoever in resigning and seeking
r e-election en bloc. I had hoped, in the
t ime since the article was published,
t hrough one means or another, to be able to p ositively identify the person responsible,
t o name him personally, and if it was a
m ember of my Committee, to resign and then
o ffer myself for re-election. If successful
I would then have nominated all my existing C ommittee less that member.
U nfortunately although I am very confident t hat I, and other members of my Committee, k now who is responsible I have no positive p roof and I have been persuaded, with no little reluctance, and despite the
e ncouragement of a number of senior Island f igures, that to adopt the action I have
j ust referred to without such proof would
b e dangerous and, in the highly unlikely
e vent that we are wrong, grossly unfair. I
h ave informed the person concerned of my b elief that he is responsible. Sadly, but
n ot surprisingly, he continues to deny it.
M y Committee will not, therefore, be
o ffering our resignation but we hope that
b y the vigorous reaction we have shown to t his situation and our obvious intention
n ot to meekly accept leaks of this nature
w e will have persuaded the person
r esponsible, and others who engage in this p ractice, to think again of their duty,
t heir responsibility, and the threat they
p ose to the integrity of this House and our a bility to operate efficiently and
e ffectively on behalf of the electorate.
U ltimately they achieve little other than
t o bring shame upon themselves and to
c onfirm that they are not worthy of the
t rust placed in them by the Island. They
a lso bring the concept of open Government i nto disrepute.
T his is particularly so in this instance as
m y Committee, in accordance with our normal p ractice, had, in any case, every intention
o f making a public announcement on the
p roposed voluntary early retirements and
v oluntary redundancy but only when the
d etails had been finalised and agreed -
which they had not been at the time of the
l eak - and in a way that was totally
a cceptable to the Public Services Committee
a nd, most importantly, to the individuals
c oncerned.
F inally I am confident that my Committee w ill be able to make an announcement on t his matter very soon and the restructuring
o f the department will still be able to go
a head. If so, what I suspect was a
d eliberate attempt at sabotage will have
b een a complete failure.''
