To receive an update and make any decisions in relation to the Code of Conduct Complaint against Cllr Rayner, that has been upheld by Cornwall Council's Monitoring Officer (assessment decision notice attached)

Please Note:

• Standing Order 14A requires the Town Clerk and Chief Executive to report this matter to the Council as it is in the public interest.
• Standing Order 14D states: "Upon notification by the Unitary Council that a councillor or non-councillor with voting rights has breached the Council’s code of conduct, the Council shall consider what, if any, action to take against him. Such action excludes disqualification or suspension from office"

Recommended Action:

• The Council is about to organise further Code of Conduct training from Sarah Mason of Cornwall Association of Local Councils, for newly co-opted and elected members and so the Town Clerk and Chief Executive suggests the Council requires Cllr Rayner to attend that training when it is organised, in accordance with the ruling and recommendations from the Monitoring Officer.

To raise and discuss other business at the Chairman’s discretion (for information only)

The next scheduled Full Council meeting will take place on Wednesday 01 September 2021 at 7pm in the Council Chamber, Municipal Offices, Marcus Hill, Newquay.
