That the new format of the Schedule of Member Remuneration as agreed by the Constitution Committee be adopted.

The Chief Officer (Governance) introduced a report to consider amending the format of the Council’s Schedule of Member Remuneration to reflect recent guidance issued by the Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales (“The Panel”).  He provided background information and referred to the main considerations.  He explained that a recommended revised Schedule of Member Remuneration seeking to combine the best parts of the Panel’s proforma and the Council’s existing schedule was appended to the report. 

The Chief Officer advised that the Constitution Committee at its meeting on 1 July 2015, had resolved that the new format be adopted.  The Committee had asked that the additional responsibilities of those Members receiving allowances from  public and other bodies be explained and the Schedule had been amended to reflect this. 

RESOLVED:

That the new format of the Schedule of Member Remuneration as agreed by the Constitution Committee be adopted.
