To consider the report of the Chief Officer (Legal and Governance)

Council considered a report of the Chief Officer (Legal and Governance) seeking approval for officers to undertake a Community Governance review of the district and to delegate authority to Council Business Committee to agree the terms of reference for, and oversee, the review.

The Chief Officer (Legal and Governance) clarified why a Community Governance Review was being recommended to Council.

Councillor Reynolds, seconded by Councillor Clift, proposed:

“(1)    That a full Community Governance Review of the district administered by Lancaster City Council be carried out over the next year.

(2)     That Council Business Committee be authorised to develop terms of reference, determine consultation plans, agree a timetable for the review, be consulted throughout the process and be involved in the preparation of final proposals to Council in late 2018.”

There was no debate and the proposition was clearly carried when put to the vote.

Resolved:

(1)     That a full Community Governance Review of the district administered by Lancaster City Council be carried out over the next year.

(2)     That Council Business Committee be authorised to develop terms of reference, determine consultation plans, agree a timetable for the review, be consulted throughout the process and be involved in the preparation of final proposals to Council in late 2018.
