Is the degree of formality necessary for a well functioning Community Council?
Should the information about quorum be included here and could the quorum be reduced to one-third of the voting membership or full 3 members?
Funnily enough, our handbook says that meetings require 50% of existing membership have to attend a meeting for it to be quorate, so we had to cancel some of our meetings unfortunately. However, I see that in East Ayrshire Council handbook they only require to have a third of members in attendance or 3 full members whichever is greater. This could be because East Ayrshire Council have adopted the Model Scheme reviewed and updated by the Improvement Service/Scottish Community Councils in 2023 which I knew nothing about until I looked at what East Ayrshire were doing on their council website. What gives?
Can't see anything about Standing Orders on any page 50 of either my handbooks. (Handbook is split into two which is very confusing) why not get the handbook professionally spiral bound...
