Minutes:
The purpose of the report was to consider proposals from the Constitution Working Group for amendments to the Constitution to:
1. Update the Council Budget Protocol
2. Remove references to the now rescinded Recovery Investment Strategy from the constitution.
The Leader, Councillor Joe Harris was then invited to introduce this report as the Accountable Member.
In proposing the recommendations, it was noted that the changes were largely administrative in order to reflect the new political composition and the effect of the decisions of Cabinet and Full Council to rescind the Recovery Investment Strategy in 2022.
Councillor David Fowles then seconded the recommendations as a member of the Constitution Working Group and noted the important work the group continues to provide in updating the Constitution of the Council.
RESOLVED: That Council AGREED to:
1. AUTHORISE the Deputy Chief Executive to update the Council Budget Protocol [Part G, Appendix D] to reflect the change in political composition following the District Council elections in May 2023.
2. AUTHORISE the Deputy Chief Executive to remove references to the now rescinded Recovery Investment Strategy from the Council’s constitution.
