1. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
1.1 Democracy and General Purposes have responsibility to regularly review the constitution in conjunction with the Monitoring Officer and recommend proposed changes where significant to the Council.
1.2 One amendment has been identified for Council to agree:
Delete point (i) in Part B4 2.2.3 Joint Transportation Board (JTB)– to remove the ambiguity of the bullet point, and the interpretation that it restricts Council’s locus to appoint the Chairman (or Vice-Chairman) that it wants to from the membership of the JTB.
2. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND WHY NOT RECOMMENDED
2.1 Alternative 1: To not make the amendment. This is not recommended for the reason set out in 1.2.
2. APPENDICES
2.1 None
3. BACKGROUND PAPERS
3.1 None
