| As reported to the Selection and Constitutional Review Committee and Executive on 4 February 2010 due to changes in legislation all Local Authorities which presently operate a Leader and Cabinet form of Executive must change their form of Executive to either a new style Leader and Cabinet Executive or an elected Mayor and Cabinet Executive. The Council meeting on 18 February 2010 endorsed the recommendations of both the Executive and Selection and Constitutional Review Committee to undertake a consultation with the public on the basis that subject to the outcome of the consultation the Council’s preferred option was the revised style of Leader and Cabinet Model. This report advises of the results of the consultation exercise and sets out the next steps to be taken to enable the Council to adopt the new style Leader and Cabinet Model by the statutory deadline of 31 December 2010 to come into effect following the Council elections in May 2011. | |
