The Committee received the grammatically amended Consultative Committee Constitution (tabled).

Committee members suggested that the constitution be further amended, subject to the agreement of the relevant committees, at:

·  paragraph 2(b)(i) – to state that the chair of the Consultative Committee would be decided by the membership for the municipal year.

·  paragraph 2(b)(ii) – to include the words “start of” to read “In the event of the Chair not being present at the start of the meeting…..”

The Chair supported such amendments as a way forward in the future and reminded the Committee that the usual process must be followed and that the Board’s approval was required for any additional substantial amendments.

It was noted that bullet point 1 above was a recommendation of the Consultative Committee Working Group to be considered in item 4 below. 

RESOLVED that the amended tabled constitution be agreed and the Constitution be further considered by the Consultative Committee (CC) after the Working Group’s recommendations had been considered by the Statutory Advisory Committee (SAC) and the Joint SAC/CC.
