The Council is the full assembly of
54 Councillors. Each year the Council elects a Chairman (who must
not be a member of the Cabinet or the Overview and Scrutiny
Committee). It normally meets six times per year, unless additional
meetings are needed. A time is set aside for public questions which
must be submitted in writing in advance. See: Public Question
Time
The Council elects the Leader of the
Council for a four year term at its
first meeting after an election. It also appoints Committees
(except the Cabinet).
The Council sets the framework of key
policies, the budget and the annual council tax, but the Cabinet is
responsible for implementing policies and for effective delivery of
services. There are certain other functions which cannot be
delegated but are carried out by the Full Council. These are listed
in article 4 in part 2 of the Constitution.
The Council also determines the
responsibilities for functions which are not the responsibility of
the Cabinet. It, therefore, decides the terms of reference and
delegated responsibilities of Committees other than the
Cabinet.
Meetings are open to the public and are held at the Arun Civic
Centre every 8 weeks.
The Council has agreed the principles for
filming, photography and social media use at Council meetings and
on Council property. Please see the Filming and
Photographic Policy
