Additional documents:
Minutes:
The Sub-Committee considered a complaint against Councillor D Andrews 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 was not considered sufficiently serious to warrant investigation, particularly as any comments made at a meeting on 4 June 2014 were invited by the Chairman and were not material to the decision referred to by the complainant.
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 was not considered sufficiently serious to warrant investigation, particularly as any comments made at a meeting on 4 June 2014 were invited by the Chairman and were not material to the decision referred to by the complainant.
