It also makes decisions on executive functions outside the approved policy or budget, adopts or changes the constitution, and agrees terms of reference for other committees. It confirms the appointment of the Chief Executive and makes decisions on all matters legally reserved for the full Council. The Council also serves as a forum for debating policy issues.
