The Council had before it a *report of the Head of Legal (Monitoring Officer) providing members with the opportunity to consider and discuss the drafting conventions of minutes of Part 2 business.
Consideration was given to:
· The importance of transparency and for a Part II minute to have some meaning.
· Referring to the question posed in Public Question Time, the need to separate exempt information within reports and use an appendix for such information, therefore allowing the majority of the report to be made available to the public, the Head of Legal (Monitoring Officer) stated that she would take this forward.
· The Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information)(England) Regulations 2012, and the need for the reason for the decision to be published.
Councillor Mrs N Woollatt MOVED seconded by Councillor A White that:
Option 3 (to include a summary plus reasons) be adopted
Upon a vote being taken the MOTION was declared to have been CARRIED.
Note: *Report previously circulated, copy attached to minutes.
