Council Procedure Rule 8 - Duration of Council Meeting

Minutes:

The Mayor advised the meeting that in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 8 (page 4-8 – Part 4), the meeting was due to end at 10:18pm.

 

In view of concerns raised by the Opposition Group in relation to the decision being sought on Agenda Item 13 (Part 1 Agenda) & Agenda Item 2 (Part 2 Agenda) - Depot Relocation, the Leader of the Council advised that he was minded to agree an extension to the time of the meeting in order to allow these concerns to be identified.

 

Councillor Lavender therefore moved and Councillor Lamprecht seconded a procedural motion under Council Procedure Rule 8 to extend the time of the meeting for an additional period of 30 minutes.  This was agreed by Council, without a vote.
