Minutes:
The Democratic Services Officer presented the report.
The Chairman informed the Committee that an initial scoping meeting for four yearly elections had taken place involving himself, the Vice Chairman and Officers. Further meetings would be taking place and the Committee would be updated on progress at future meetings.
It was requested that the Overview and Scrutiny Report on the Council changing to four yearly elections dated 2010 be circulated to all Committee Members.
It was asked that it be noted that changes to the regular date and time of meetings should be made at the beginning of the Municipal year. Membership of the Democracy Committee with daytime meetings had always been an option for Councillors who were unable to attend evening meetings. It was also stated that there were some Councillors who would prefer the day and timing of this Committee be in an evening so those who work could chose to be a member.

That the Democracy Committee’s Work Programme for 2016 – 2017 be noted.
