2.3

Councillors Douglas Johnson and Alison Teal each declared a personal interest in Agenda Item 13 – Changes To The Constitution (See Minute 13 below) – in so far as it related to the Monitoring Officer Protocol, on the grounds that a proposed revision in Section 4 of the Protocol (Procedure For Dealing With Complaints Regarding City, Parish And Town Councillors And Co-Opted Members) is to include a reference to the Monitoring Officer reserving the right to deal with any issues arising in the course of business that concerns the conduct or alleged conduct of a Member in the absence of a complaint if the Monitoring Officer deems it reasonable and appropriate to do so.  Councillor Johnson stated that the reason for him declaring this interest was that the Monitoring Officer had recently made such an allegation against him, which he fully denies, and Councillor Teal stated that the reason for her declaring this interest was that the Monitoring Officer has been attempting to proceed with such a complaint against her since April 2017, despite the absence of such a power.
