Issue - meetings

The final report of the evening requested approval of the proposed committee timetable for the 2024-25 Civic Year, and for the draft timetable for the 2025-26 Civic Year to be noted. Members heard there was an increased number of meetings scheduled in for 2024-25, as there had been a need to call several additional meetings in the current year, and by including dates in the timetable, this sought to reduce the impact of calling meetings with little notice. The Constitution did allow for meetings to be cancelled where there was insufficient business, and this approach would be taken if needed.

It was highlighted that that the timetable showed a scheduled meeting of the Corporate Policy and Resources Committee to take place on the second day of the Lincolnshire Show. In accepting that this may not be suitable for Members, the Committee was asked to consider proposing an amendment to the timetable which would see the meeting delayed by one week, to take place on 27 June 2024.

During the course of debate, Members of the Committee were in agreement that the date of the June meeting should be moved, and this amendment was duly proposed and seconded. With all present indicating their consent to take the recommendations en bloc, and with all recommendations having been proposed and seconded, it was unanimously

            RESOLVED that

a)    the meeting of the Corporate Policy and Resources Committee scheduled to take place on 20 June 2024 be rescheduled to be held on 27 June 2024; and

b)    the timetable for the 2024/2025 Civic Year be approved; and the indicative committee dates for the 2025/2026 Civic Year be noted; and

c)    the indicative committee dates be presented annually for approval, with each subsequent report noting any changes proposed from the previous version noted.
