Report of the Town Clerk.

The Subcommittee was presented with a proposed action plan following the independent review of member behaviour.

Members discussed the importance of the Chief Commoner and their unique position to aide in upholding member behaviour. It was suggested that the Chief Commoner, along with any past chief commoners, should the main contact for informal discussions both reaching out to and listening to concerns regarding member behaviour. It was discussed that the informality of this practice would allow for more leeway and encourage more conversations to happen earlier.

The subcommittee also discussed the benefits of having a buddy system for new members. All were in favour of the buddy system, with the experienced buddies encompassing a range of all members from the court, not just the ward deputies.   

RESOLVED, that the Action Plan be recommended to the Grand Committee for approval and adoption with ministration by the Subcommittee.
