Joint report of the Director of Corporate Support Service and Director of Corporate Commissioning

Minutes:

The Cabinet considered the joint report of the Director of Corporate Support Services and the Director of Corporate Commissioning on proposed changes to the Council’s Constitution. It was noted that a working draft was submitted at this stage and there were likely to be further minor amendments prior to publication linked to the Council summons.

 

This was a Key Decision and was included in the Council’s Forward Plan of Key Decisions.

 

RESOLVED: That the Council be recommended that

 

(1)       the amended Council Constitution be approved; and

 

(2)       the Head of Governance and Civic Services and the Head of Corporate Legal Services be given delegated powers to make legislative and any other necessary and urgent amendments to the Constitution and to report such actions to the next Council meeting as appropriate, in consultation with the Leader of the Council.
