Decision details

The Chair invited the Interim Monitoring Officer to present his report. The Interim Monitoring Officer introduced the Committee’s new Terms of Reference as defined by Full Council, drawing Members’ attention to the 2 appendices which listed Officer delegated functions and matters reserved. He went on to explain the recommendations as set out in the report.

One Member confirmed that the next Constitution Working Party was on 28 June 2021. Another Member raised concerns over Officer authority limits in Appendix 2 but that these were being dealt with outside of the Committee.

The recommendations were then proposed and seconded.
