Decision

Cabinet agreed:
 
2.1 f) That no
determination of events required input from the Leader or Chief
Executive as exists in the current matrix.
 
2.1 g) That the most
appropriate Civic Head should attend functions.
 
2.1 h) To amalgamate the
Chair and Vice-Chair’s budgets.
 
2.1 i) To have a budget
for clothing, with a maximum appropriate level to be set by
Cabinet. The suggested limit proposed was £200 per
person.
 

·      
That having reviewed the operation of the matrix, Cabinet
recommends that the requirement for a civic matrix be withdrawn,
with decisions on event invitations to now be determined by the
Chair and Vice-Chair, with support from the Civic Officer.
 

·      
That for transparency and accountability, Cabinet recommends that
the Chair include a record of all events the Chair & Vice Chair
have attended since last Full Council within the
‘Chair’s Announcements’
