    Please note:
    Standing Order 7A-B inclusive outlines the process for changing previous decisions. Below is the wording:
    7A - A resolution shall not be reversed within six months except either by a special motion, which requires written notice by at least ten councillors to be given to the Proper Officer in accordance with standing order 9, or by a motion moved in pursuance of the recommendation of a committee, sub-committee or< i>report from the Proper Officer< /i>*(provided such committee or sub-committee is able to make such a recommendation under its terms of reference).*
    7B - When a motion moved pursuant to standing order 7(a) has been disposed of, no similar motion may be moved for a further six months.


    Town Clerk and Chief Executive Comment:
    As Proper Officer, the attached report is outlining unforeseen resource issues that are unduly impacted by the dates of the E&F Committee, where they fall on the same week as the C&T Committee. This has been raised by the officers involved with those committees and processes. It is therefore recommended to move such dates of the E&F Committee meetings to the following week, where this occurs in order to ensure resources can manage the meetings effectively and payroll processes are not compromised.

  26. 14

    To receive, consider and decide on valid applications to fill current casual vacancies, subject to a presentation and questions from members.


    Please note:
