HomeCommittee details
Council
Purpose of committee
The full council, which consists of all 51 elected representatives, is the overarching decision-making body and sits monthly with the exception of July.
Subject to any statutory requirement to the contrary, the order of business at every monthly meeting of the council shall be as follows:
- confirmation of minutes
- official announcements or memorials
- deputations
- minutes of the proceedings of the several committees and their recommendations
- notices of motion
Therefore, any decisions taken by the standing committees cannot be implemented until they have been ratified by the full council, except where committees have been granted delegated authority to make decisions.
We aim to publish the minutes of the committee meetings the day following the council meeting at which they have been approved but no later than three working days after the meeting. The minutes of the monthly council meeting will be published within five working days after the date of the meeting.
