Method of working and voting rights

All representatives are expected to seek to reach conclusions by general consensus.  Where any voting representatives on the Forum requires a formal vote to be taken, this shall be by a show of hands by those voting representatives present and voting (as per the membership set out above).

 

Public Participation procedure

 

There will be a period of 10 minutes maximum at the beginning of each forum meeting when the Chair will invite the public, including local interest groups, to raise any general matters of interest and/or matters relating to the work of the forum. 

An individual speaker will be limited to a maximum of three minutes per agenda item.  Where a number of members of the public wish to speak they will be encouraged to agree the allocated maximum ten minutes between then.

 

The Chair will retain discretion to manage the public speaking process, and may limit individual speakers to less than three minutes, or take other steps necessary in order to maximise public participation in an appropriate way. 

 

Members and Officers will not provide an immediate response to public comments raised from the floor.  All comments and queries will be noted and the Chair will invite Officers and/or Members to respond to specific points during the round table debate and discussion amongst forum members that follows.

 

Members of the public should contact the Democratic Services Officer 3 working days before the meeting (preferably telephone or email) so that as many people who wish to speak can be accommodated during the public participation sessions.

 

Once the period of public participation has drawn to a close, there will be an opportunity for elected members who are not on the forum (i.e. Cabinet or Ward Members) to speak in advance of questions and debate amongst forum members at the Chair’s discretion.

 

The forum will then debate the item with any conclusions and recommended recorded.
