Agenda item - Adoption of Special Procedures

The Mayor will move the suspension of Standing Orders and the adoption of Special Procedures as outlined in the protocol for the consideration of Item 88 – Proposed Submission City Plan Part 2.

83.1         The Mayor drew the Council’s attention to the updated proposed special procedure rules as detailed in the addendum on pages 3 – 8, which had been circulated separately.  She also noted that there was an Officer clarification detailed in the protocol but for clarification read it:

“At the time of the meeting on 5^th March, the intention was to start the statutory consultation in May. For a variety of reasons related to the Covid-19 pandemic, that will not be possible. The consultation will therefore start as soon as it is safe and proper to do so.”

83.2         The Mayor then moved that the Council procedure rules should be suspended to the extent necessary to enable the meeting to be conducted under the rules as modified by the procedural notes as circulated.

83.3         RESOLVED: That the procedural rules as outlined be adopted for the consideration of the Proposed Submission City Plan Part 2, Item 88 and the Council’s Procedural Rules suspended accordingly.
