Minutes:

The Solicitor to the Council & Monitoring Officer presented a report proposing amendments to the Council’s constitution as recommended by the Standards Committee as part of the Annual Review.

 

The Council is required by law to prepare and keep an up-to-date Constitution which explains how the Council operates, how decisions are made and the procedures which are to be followed to ensure that these are efficient, transparent and accountable to local people. One of the functions of the Standards Committee is to undertake an annual review of the Council’s Constitution to ensure it is up-to-date and in line with legislation and current circumstances.

 

Moved by Cllr Clive Moesby, Seconded by Cllr Duncan McGregor:

RESOLVED that the amendments to the Constitution detailed at Appendix 1 and set out in Appendix 2 be approved.

 

(Solicitor to the Council & Monitoring Officer/Governance Manager)
