Issue - meetings

The Monitoring Officer submitted a report seeking adoption of an updated Code of Conduct.  He apologised for its late production, but advised that the regulations had only just been issued by the Government.

In response to Members’ comments and questions, the Monitoring Officer undertook to provide further written advice on Disclosable Pecuniary Interests to Members and to arrange training.

Council approved the proposals as now detailed.

RESOLVED - that the Member Code of Conduct, as detailed at Essential Reference Paper ‘B’ of the report submitted, be adopted and the decision made on 16 May 2012 concerning arrangements for dealing with complaints be reaffirmed.
