In considering suitable dates, the following points have been taken into consideration: -

ii. Standing Order No 2.2 of the CFA which states that the Authority must hold an Annual Meeting between 1st April and the 30th June each year.
iii. Standing Order 2.3a of the CFA, which states that a programme of meetings for the Authority should be determined annually by the Authority and additional meetings of the Authority held as determined by the Authority or at the discretion of the Chair.
iv. Approval to undertake consultation on the budget was delegated to the Chair in consultation with the Treasurer and Chief Fire Officer (resolution 10/18 refers) enabling one budget meeting to be held in February, at which Members will consider and agree a final budget and the resultant council tax implications.
