Agenda item

Report of the County Clerk & Monitoring Officer

The Constitution provides that the Council will, at its Annual Meeting, decide any amendments to its standing committees for the municipal year, the size and terms of reference of those committees, and the allocation of seats to political groups in accordance with Section 17 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 rules relating to Political Balance.

Please note that the Council is asked under this item to approve alternative arrangements to strict political proportionality for appointments to all committees which requires a Nem Con vote – that is a vote to approve without any dissention.
