Councillor Phil Davies introduced a report which recommended draft dates for Council, Cabinet and Committee meetings (“Council Meetings”) for the municipal year 2018/2019. The report also described the various issues that had been taken into account in compiling it.

Other issues that did not constitute a meeting of the Council and therefore did not require inclusion in the Calendar of Meetings were set out in Appendix 2 of the report. Notification of the other meetings was given now to enable Members to manage their diaries.

Councillor Davies referred to one amendment, which had been suggested by Scrutiny Officers, for the date of the Children and Families Overview and Scrutiny Committee to be changed from 6 June to 3 July, 2018.

RESOLVED: That:

(1)  the draft Calendar of Meetings for the 2018/2019 Municipal Year, set out at appendix 1 to the report for approval, subject to the amendment above, and unless amended at the meeting of Council on 19 March, 2018, be confirmed as the calendar of meetings for the Municipal Year 2018/19;

(2)  the other meetings detailed set out in Appendix 2 be noted.

(3)  any proposed amendments to the Calendar of Meetings and Appendix 2 be submitted to the Interim Assistant Director: Law and Governance by no later than 10am on Friday, 9 March 2018.
