Agenda item

The report was presented by the Chief Executive to inform Members that  the date of the Authority AGM in July 2025 needed to be changed by a week to allow key staff to be available to attend.  So, it was proposed that the Annual Meeting would now be held on 11^th July and the Programmes and Resources Committee meeting would be held on 4^th July.  The Chief Executive reported that unlike previous years there would only be one Authority Meeting in July, so the AGM  appointments would take place first, followed by any substantive items..

There was a  concern by one Member that if they couldn’t attend a meeting, that this would show as an absence on the annual report as the dates for all meetings are set a year in advance. So where extra meetings were then added, that they couldn’t attend due to other commitments, can this be excluded on the attendance figures.  The Chair agreed that this would be discussed with the Governance Review Group, and come back to the Authority with a proposal. 

The recommendation as set out in the report, was moved, seconded, voted on and carried.

RESOLVED:

To change the date of the 2025 Annual Authority meeting to 11^th July 2025 and to change the date of the Programmes and Resources Committee meeting to 4^th July 2025.
