Report of the Cabinet Member Corporate Services

The Cabinet Member Corporate Services introduced the report, which sought approval of the provisional diary of meetings for September 2013 to August 2014.  He highlighted that the production of the diary was a logistical challenge and the rationale for the diary and the draft calendar had been circulated to interested parties in February as part of the consultation.

It was brought to member’s attention that there was a draft proposal that the European elections and borough elections be combined and held on Thursday, 22 May 2014. The safest course for the purposes of the diary was to assume that the draft proposal was likely to be adopted and thus the date of the annual meeting and Mayor making would need to be adjusted (along with other consequential amendments). It may be worthwhile to delay the printing of the diary inserts until this was finalised.

Upon a vote it was (unanimously)

RESOLVED that the draft Council diary of meetings for September 2013 – August 2014 be approved.
