Constitution: minor change to add links to Library

Decision Maker: Monitoring Officer

Decision status: Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The new Constitution was agreed at July 2022 Council, to be in operation from 2nd August 2022. As part of this process, some documents (various schemes, codes and protocols which were not required to be part of a Constitution) were moved out of the Constitution itself, into the Library. It was subsequently identified that various links needed to be made to ensure that they were easily accessible via appropriate links from the Constitution, so these were added. As these were considered a minor change and not altering the content of the Constitution, the Monitoring Officer used his delegation to approve these minor amendments.

Decision:

The Monitoring Officer agreed minor changes to various sections of the Constitution to link to these documents in the Library;

- The Planning Code of Conduct
- The Licensing Good Practice guide
- The Honorary Aldermen and Alderwomen scheme
- The Freemen and Freewomen scheme
- The Local Code of Corporate Governance

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - Leave as is which would mean the various documents were harder to find.
Option 2 -
Option 3 -
