Decision details

Council considered the proposed schedule of meetings for 2024/2025, presented by Councillor Duncan McGregor, Portfolio Holder for Corporate Governance.

Each year the Council considered a calendar of its meetings for the forthcoming municipal year.  This was to ensure that the Authority had in place an efficient meeting schedule that met the needs of Members and facilitated decision making in line with statutory deadlines.

Councillor Ashley Taylor noted his disappointment that there had been little consideration for meetings to be held at different times during the day to accommodate those Members who were in full time employment, which limited those Members’ contribution to the Council.  He requested that consideration be given to this when the next meeting schedule was being prepared.

Moved by Councillor Duncan McGregor and seconded by Councillor Tom Munro

RESOLVED that 1) the 2024/25 calendar of meetings, as attached at Appendix 1 to the report, be approved,

2) delegated authority be granted to the Governance and Civic Manager following consultation with the Chair of the relevant Committee(s)/Working Group(s) to amend the calendar of meetings 2024/25 as and when required.
