The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director – Enterprise, Community and Resources, which brought recommendations for revisions to Committee structures, following consideration by a group of senior Members, and sought appropriate recommendations to Council.

 

The revisions were described in the report and the amended terms of references were set out in Appendices 1 and 2. It was noted that these amendments would be made to the Constitution in due course.

2)    the composition of the Appeals Panel be amended as set out in paragraph 3.4 of the report;

 

3)    a taxi sub-committee be set up with terms of reference as contained in Appendix 2; and
