Issue - meetings

The Committee considered the updated Work Plan.

The draft agenda for the June meeting had been included in the Work Plan, however, further discussion in the specialist Member/Officer groups was necessary in order to draft the Work Programme for 2013-14.

Discussion took place on the provision of training for Standards Hearings and if the agreed processes for dealing with complaints under the Members Code of Conduct should be reviewed.  It was agreed that a report should be brought to the Committee.  

It was also requested that the Committee receive a report on the insurance arrangements for elected members.

RESOLVED:  That

(1)       the changes to the Work Plan since the last meeting be noted.

·        Issues around Standards Hearing

·        Outcome of Member/Officer Group discussion on Work Programme

·        Insurance arrangements for elected members

(3)       it be noted that the Work Plan will be re-submitted to the Committee periodically for further development and approval.
