Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk proposing a series of minor amendments and clarifications to Standing Orders. An addendum, highlighting a small number of additional corrections, was tabled.

Whilst noting previous decisions in respect of the use of nomenclature in relation to Chairmen, it was agreed that references within Standing Orders should be altered to read “Chair / Chairman.”

The Town Clerk advised that the Court’s approval in respect of these amendments would be sought in September.

RESOLVED: That the revisions to Standing Orders, set out in the appendix and the circulated addendum, be approved for submission to the Court of Common Council, subject to references to “Chairman” being altered to read “Chair / Chairman”.
