This report updates the Committee regarding actions taken in relation to complaint CCC/2018/001.

Discussion:

The Monitoring Officer introduced the report which updated the Committee on the actions taken in relation to the sanctions the Committee agreed in respect of complaint CCC/2018/001 at its last meeting. 

Members referred to the sanction given which related to the requirement for the subject member to write two letters of apology, one to the complainant and one to the Head of Legal Services and suggested that a timeframe for completion of this be provided to bring the matter to a close.

Decision:

The Committee requested the Monitoring Officer to:

i)             Provide the subject member with a deadline of 31 October 2018 to complete and send the two letters of apology and if this deadline is not met;

ii)            Draw the matter to the attention of the Leader of the Council.

This report summarises the content of agenda item 7, which, in the opinion of the proper officer, contains exempt information within one of the categories in Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972. It is a matter for the Committee to determine whether the press and public should be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the document. 

That the press and public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the exempt material relating to agenda item 7 because consideration of these matters in public would disclose information falling within Paragraphs 1 and 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 as specified in agenda item 6,and, in all the circumstances of the case, the Committee considers that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information. 

This report informs the Committee about the informal resolution that has been agreed in relation to complaint CCC/2018/002.
