Minutes:

The Council was reminded of the requirement for it to review its Constitution on an annual basis and that as part of that process it had established a Constitutional Review Working Group to present any recommended changes.

 

It was reported that whilst no legislative changes had been introduced during 2019/20 requiring changes to be made to the Council’s Constitution, there was a need for Part  6.1 thereof to be amended to reflect the Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales’ (IRPW) prescribed amounts to be paid to Councillors for 2020/21, as detailed within the report.

 

With regard to the work of the Constitutional Review Working Group, it was reported that whilst it had been tasked with reviewing and recommending any changes to the constitution that had not proved to be possible following the suspension of all Council meetings in response to the Covid 19 pandemic. It was therefore proposed that the Annual Review be deferred to a future Council Meeting.

 

RESOLVED

 

9.1

That the Councillors’ and Co-opted Members’ Salaries and Allowances Scheme for 2020/21, as detailed within the report, be adopted;

9.2

That any necessary membership changes contained within the Constitution arising from decisions made earlier in the meeting be approved;

9.3

That in view of the Civid-19 pandemic, the full annual review of the Constitution be deferred to a future meeting of the Council.
