Agenda item

Council assembly is invited to consider whether it wishes to set an alternative date for its November meeting.

(See pages 162-163 of the main agenda)

This report was considered after the guillotine had fallen, therefore in accordance with council assembly procedure rule 1.12(3) & (4), the report was afforded up to a maximum of 15 minutes.

At the beginning of the meeting, the clerk announced a correction to Supplemental Agenda No.3 in that Amendment H should have read moved by Councillor Linda Manchester and seconded by Jeff Hook.

In accordance with council assembly procedure rule 2.11(2), the Mayor formally moved the report.

In Councillor Manchester’s absence and with the consent of the meeting, Councillor Jeff Hook, seconded by Councillor Paul Noblet, moved Amendment H.

Following debate (Councillors Peter John, Lewis Robinson, Richard Livingstone, Anood Al-Samerai and Adele Morris), Amendment H was put to the vote and declared to be lost.

Councillor Helen Morrissey, seconded by Councillor Peter John, moved the Late Amendment as follows:

‘That council assembly agrees to bring forward the date for the 30 November meeting by one day to 29 November 2011.’

The Late Amendment was put to the vote and declared to be carried.

The substantive motion was put to the vote and declared to be carried.

RESOLVED:

1.  That council assembly procedure rule 2.1 (Dates and frequency of meetings agreed by annual council) be suspended.

2.  That council assembly agrees to bring forward the date for the 30 November meeting by one day to 29 November 2011.
