The Service Delivery Manager: Legal & Democracy presented the report of the Director: Policy & Governance which asked Members to review the Terms of References for the Council Constitution Committee.  

The Constitution required that Full Council should agree at its Annual Meeting the Terms of Reference for each of its Committees to enable the Council to efficiently conduct its business.

At the Annual Meeting of the Council on 19 May 2022, Full Council delegated authority to each Committee to review its own Terms of Reference.  The Terms of Reference forms part of the Constitution and was approved by Full Council in that context on 3 March 2022.

There was one minor change suggested to the Terms of Reference which provided clarity around the process for appointment of a Chair for the Committee in that the Chair was appointed by Full Council but set out that a Vice-Chair may be appointed by a majority decision of the Committee.

RESOLVED – that the Council Constitution Committee agree the amended Terms of Reference.
