Minutes:

The Council considered the proposed calendar of meeting for the forthcoming year.  A concern was raised that the proposed dates would result in a significant period time between the Council meeting at the beginning of April and the subsequent Council meeting at the end of July. 

The Leader of the Council explained that the Council’s accounts had to be approved by the end of July and that the proposed Calendar ensured that ample time was provided for the development of the accounts.  The calendar would be revisited in the event changes to the regulations for the accounts altered the statutory timescale.

RESOLVED

That the Calendar of Meetings 2021/22 be approved as set out in Appendix 1 to the report.

Minutes:

The Executive received a report which sought approval to recommend to Council the Calendar of Meetings 2021-22.  The Council meeting on Thursday, 29 July 2021 was raised as it was in the summer holiday period.  Officers confirmed that a Council meeting was required on the last Thursday in July on the basis that the current statutory deadline for Council approval for the Statement of Accounts was the end of July.  The scheduled Council meeting on 29 July 2021 would maximise the time available for preparation of the accounts.  The Executive was advised that in the event that the statutory deadline was changed, Officers would re-visit the Calendar of Meetings in light of requirements.

REcommended to Council

That the Calendar of Meetings 2021/22 be approved as set out in Appendix 1 to the report.

Reason:   In accordance with Standing Order 1.2 of the Constitution, which states that “The date of the annual (Council) meeting and those of ordinary meetings shall be fixed by the Council in or about December of the preceding municipal year”.
