Minutes:
Paul Greeno, Senior Corporate and Governance Lawyer, introduced the report which informed Members that, under the terms of the Local Government Act 2000 the Council was required to have a constitution and ensure that this was kept up-to-date. As part of this process a number of reviews of protocols, including the Licensing Code of Conduct had been undertaken. He asked Members to consider the draft revised code of conduct appended to the report which had been updated to better assist Councillors and aid understanding by bringing the code up to date and providing better consistency in terms of content style and structure.
RESOLVED

2. That it be noted that, as a member code of conduct, then pursuant to the terms of reference to the Standards (Advisory) Committee, that the revised Licensing Code of conduct will have to be considered by Committee so that it can advise Council on the adoption or revision of the code.
3. That it be noted that the draft revised Code will also go to General Purposes committee for consideration.
4. That it be noted that, pursuant to Part One, Paragraph 4.02 of the Constitution, the adoption and amendment of the proposed revised Licensing Code of Conduct is a matter for Council
5. That Members’ general comments on the proposed revised code be made directly to Paul Greeno, Senior Corporate and Governance Lawyer so that they may be reflected in the document to be considered by Standards (Advisory) Committee and General Purposes Committee and then by Council.
