Call-in Rules/Procedures - request for a report
Under Standing Order 56, Councillor Simon Bosher has requested that an item come to Governance & Audit & Standards Committee.
Councillor Simon Bosher requests that the following elements of the Council's Call-in rules and by extension process, be reviewed:
1) A suitable time limit is in place for which Scrutiny Management to consider the call in
2) The subject decision of the Cabinet/Portfolio Holder should not be implemented until such time as the call in has been properly considered
3) The nature of a call in can be a lengthy meeting and perhaps should be the subject of a special meeting and not included on the agenda of a scheduled meeting.
4) If a call in is successful and the subject report is referred back to Cabinet for reconsideration, the original unaltered report should not be the subject for reconsideration.
Note: Any changes to amend the Constitution would require recommendation to full Council for approval.
The Governance & Audit & Standards Committee is asked to consider this request from Councillor Bosher.
