Report of the Head of Legal and Support Services

Presented by the Chairman of the Council

The Chairman referred members to the nominations as set out in the additional papers. 

Councillor J Legrys requested that more notice and a fuller explanation be provided when meeting dates were revised.

Councillor A C Saffell expressed his dissatisfaction about the meeting which had been set on the last Thursday in February, as this always clashed with meetings of the parish councils.

Councillor N J Rushton advised that the meeting referred to by Councillor A C Saffell was the budget and Council Tax setting meeting and had to take place following Leicestershire County Council’s meeting.  He added that officers sought to provide ample notice of any changes to meeting dates.

It was moved by Councillor N J Rushton, seconded by Councillor J Cotterill and

RESOLVED THAT:

a)   The proposed schedule of meetings for 2016/17 be agreed.

b)         The future schedule of Council and Cabinet meetings for 2017/18 to 2018/19          be noted.
