Action No. 1

The requested amendment regarding eligibility to sit had now been made to the internal copy of Council’s Constitution and would, in the fullness of time, be reproduced in the external, composite copy of the revised Constitution, as may be approved in April 2019, at the conclusion of the ongoing constitutional review process.

Action No. 2

At the time the ‘Sam Says Stop’ campaign was endorsed by the Committee at its meeting in July 2018, no request for a funding contribution towards the production costs of the stickers had been made. A pragmatic decision was therefore taken to approach each of the three Residents’ Forums to secure funding which, in hindsight, was later deemed to be inconsistent with the Council’s recently adopted ‘Third Sector and Community Support’ funding guidelines. In lieu, an alternative funding stream from within the Community Services budget was said to have since been approved.

Action No. 3

Following consultation with the Committee Chair, it was agreed that an all-encompassing report was to be brought back to the next committee meeting in January 2019 detailing the actions taken to address the issues raised by Internal Auditors as currently and pro-actively being attended to as part of the Licensing Section review. This was said to include matters relating to staffing, resilience, channel-shift and new IT systems, procedures and processes etc.
