Minutes:

The Sub-Committee considered a complaint against (former) Councillor M Alexander alleging that he had breached the Authority’s Code of Conduct.

 

The Sub-Committee noted the detail of the complaint and the evidence submitted by the complainant to support their allegation.

 

The Monitoring Officer confirmed that, having consulted the Independent Person, he did not consider the complaint could be resolved informally.

 

The Monitoring Officer invited the Sub-Committee to consider the complaint against the (published) assessment criteria of the Authority’s Complaints Procedure.

 

The Monitoring Officer and Acting Chief Executive left the Chamber whilst the Sub-Committee came to a determination on the complaint.

 

The Sub-Committee, after careful consideration of the complaint in consultation with the Independent Person and taking into account the Council’s assessment criteria, agreed that no further action be taken as it related to someone who was no longer a member of the Authority and reasons for the alleged breach of the Code of Conduct were not sufficiently made clear.

 

           RESOLVED – that, after careful consideration of the complaint in consultation with the Independent Person and taking into account the Council’s assessment criteria, no further action be taken as it related to someone
(M Alexander) who was no longer a member of the Authority and reasons for the alleged breach of the Code of Conduct were not sufficiently made clear.
