RESOLVED to
1. Determine to hold Council, Cabinet & all Committee meetings (including scrutiny) in accordance with Appendix A until further review by Council.
2. Authorise the Monitoring Officer to make all necessary amendments to the Constitution to effect the arrangements to hold all meetings in accordance with Appendix A.
3. Agree that these measures will automatically terminate on the coming into force of any regulations which permit remote attendance at meetings of the Council.
4. Agree that all members unable to attend a council meeting for a period greater than six months receive a dispensation further to section 85(1) of the Local Government Act 1972 to 7 November 2021.
