Issue - meetings

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.

Members discussed the chairing arrangements for the new committees / panels and acknowledged that it was an issue for the Members on the parent boards to determine.

1)    the Audit and Governance Board assume responsibility for the work of the former Standards Committee and that its terms of reference be amended as set out in Appendix 1;

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

4)    that appropriate amendments to the Constitution are made in due course.
