The Monitoring Officer submitted a report to seek member approval for updates to the Council’s Constitution. The current form of the Constitution had been in place since the early 2000s and had followed a standard Government model proposed at the time. 

The report noted that the Constitution required changes and updates when necessary to ensure that it reflects current Council practices, functions and structures, as well as enabling efficient working of the authority.

The report recommended changes to the financial thresholds, delegated complaint compensation limits and housing land decisions contained within the Constitution, as listed in paragraph 6 of the officer’s report.

* RESOLVED –

1.   That the changes to financial thresholds, delegated complaint compensation limits and housing land decisions be agreed.

2.   That the other updates to the Constitution be noted.

3.   That the current published version of the Constitution be confirmed.

4.      That the Committee recommends Cabinet and full Council approve the updated Constitution.
