Issue - meetings

The Democratic Services Manager presented a report to enable the Committee to consider the best approach to discuss decision-making, when a decision was required before the next scheduled meeting.

After consideration of the options set out in the report, Members agreed that it wasn’t always necessary to call an ‘ad hoc’ meeting, nor was it always possible to agree responses to consultations via email, as urgent business. Therefore, the flexibility offered by a mixture of the two, set out in Option 3 of the report, was the most appropriate choice.

Resolved:

That, when a decision is required before the next scheduled meeting of the Council Business Committee, either an ad hoc meeting will be called, or the decision will be taken using the urgent business procedure, whichever is the most appropriate for each issue.
