EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Personal Assistant to the CEO to the Services & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 12 September 2017 and approve the Council meeting dates for 2018
as set out in Attachment 1 to the report.


REPORT
At the Post Election Meeting on 5 April 2016, Council adopted its Council meeting structure
incorporating three Standing Committees and an Ordinary meeting. The meeting structure has
remained unchanged since that time with meetings being held on a monthly cycle.

In consultation with the Mayor and CEO, a draft Council Meeting Schedule for 2018 has been
prepared for Council’s consideration (refer to Attachment 1). No changes have been proposed to
the existing arrangements.

As per previous years, the first meeting round of the year (January) will only consist of a General
Committee Meeting (15 January) and an Ordinary Meeting (18 January). There won’t be a
Planning & Environment Committee or Services & Organisation Committee meeting held in
January. This is due to the timing of report deadlines conflicting with the Christmas/ New Year
period and the availability of staff over this time.
