Agenda item

The Council considered a report of the Head of Legal and Democratic Services which sought approval to update the Constitutions of the Durham Crematorium Joint Committee and Mountsett Crematorium Joint Committee to allow for the provision of substitute members (for copy see file of Minutes).

The Head of Legal and Democratic Services informed the Council that the Council’s Constitution provided for the joint arrangements of both Joint Committees which each had their own terms of reference and constitution documents. Both constitutions had been updated and approved by the Council in 2013.

The proposal to provide for substitute members had arisen due to a recent meeting of the Central Durham Crematorium Joint Committee being cancelled because it was inquorate.

Moved by Councillor Henig, Seconded by Councillor Napier

Resolved

That the Constitutions of the Durham Crematorium Joint Committee and Mountsett Crematorium Joint Committee be amended.
