Technical Notes 2024, Issue 125 - Council Diary August/September 2024

The purpose of this Technical Note is to advise Members of proposed meeting dates for August and September 2024. 

Members will be aware from previous Technical Notes that there is a Special Council meeting scheduled for 21st August and meetings of the Civic Government Appeals Board and Licensing Board scheduled for 12th and 14th August, respectively.

A report will be submitted to the Council meeting on 21st August setting out a proposed Diary of meetings for 2024/25, which Members will be invited to agree. 

Notwithstanding the above, most (if not all) Members will already be dealing with various invites and demands on their time during August and September.  The fact that the new Council Diary will not be agreed until 21st August may cause additional challenges in terms of planning for these months.

Officers are clear that it is for Council to approve the Diary of meetings and would not wish to take steps which might be seen to compromise or prejudge this.  However, on the basis that it may assist Members to have sight of the dates proposed for August and September, they are detailed below.

It is important to stress that these dates are provisional and may be changed by Council at its meeting on 21st August.  Consequently, meeting invites etc will not be issued until the days after the Diary of meetings is determined by Council
