Timing of Council Committee Meetings and Questions to the Council Leader

[jeffh]

Below is an extract from the minutes of the Full Council Meeting held on May 23 2017.  The proposal was made during the debate on the Council's position on Public Questions and timing of meetings. 

In a debate on this site I mentioned this but couldn't remember the outcome - I've now discovered it and pasted it below.

It was moved by Councillor Thompson and seconded by Councillor Black:-
"That 'supplementary questions' be reinstated and that 25% of Committee
meetings be held on an evening and a 15 minute segment be scheduled at the
commencement of Council meetings for the Leader of the Council to respond to
questions."
In order to assist proceedings, the Monitoring Officer highlighted that one of the
recommendations of the Working Group had been the reintroduction of a
Constitution Committee. It was suggested, therefore, that the amendment
moved by Councillor Thompson, be referred to that Constitution Committee.

The next meeting of the Constitution Committee will be July 7 10:00 at the Civic Centre
