Meeting documents

The Committee RESOLVED to:

a)        RECOMMEND that the annual report of the Avon & Somerset Police and Crime Panel should be made to Cabinet and then to Full Council at the appropriate time.

b)        RECOMMEND to the new Council in May 2017 the amalgamation of the Constitution and Standards Committees to form a single Constitution and Standards Committee with the following principles to be applied:

•           That political proportionality should not be applied to the membership on the basis that decisions of the Committee are referred automatically to Council for approval where unanimity cannot be achieved at the Committee.

•           That membership of the Committee should include the current co-opted (non-voting) members of the Standards Committee.

•           That the Chairman of the Committee should continue to be appointed by the Committee and not Full Council.

c)         Ask the officers to consider the provision of appropriate training to members of the Adults & Health Scrutiny Committee to enable members to scrutinise public health matters accordingly.
