RESOLVED:

That
with the correction to minute CL102 (Council Budget 2024/25 and MTFP
2024/25 to 2027/28) amending the wording ‘The Mayor briefly
adjourned the meeting between 8.10 pm and 8.25 pm’ to add the
following words: ‘because of a power outage affecting Civic
Offices and the wider area.

Upon the meeting reconvening, the
Mayor proposed (with the consent of the Leaders of Political
Groups), and with the agreement of the meeting, that in the
exceptional and unprecedented circumstances of a power outage (and
limited prospect of power returning), time limited emergency
lighting, and the legal requirement to agree a budget within a
timeframe, and secure timely printing of Council Tax notices, that
the Council depart from its usual practice of debate, and that
accordingly amendments be moved, seconded and voted upon without
further discussion. Additionally, that the substantive motion which
had already been moved and seconded also be voted upon without
discussion’,
that the Minutes of the meeting of the
Council held on 21 February 2024 be approved and signed by the
Mayor as a correct record.
