NORTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL 
21 September 2022 
North Ayrshire Council 
Title:    Committee Timetable: January - June 2023 
Purpose:  To invite the Council to consider a timetable of meetings for the
period from January until the end of June 2023 
Recommendation:  That the Council agrees: 
(a) to approve the draft committee timetable set out at
Appendix 1; and 
(b) to note that arrangements for Locality Partnership meetings
and any ad hoc or Special Meetings will be intimated
separately to Members 
1. Executive Summary 
1.1 The Council generally sets a timetable of committee meetings for each calendar year. 
The appendix to this report proposes a timetable for the first half of 2023.  A proposed
timetable for the remainder of 2023 will be presented for consideration at a later date. 
2. Background 
2.1 The proposed timetable of meetings set out at Appendix 1 incorporates meetings of
the Council, Cabinet and standing committees of the Council, as well as an Easter
recess period.   
2.2 The Council is generally invited to set its timetable for the whole of the next calendar
year.  However, the October 2023 school holiday dates are still provisional and so to
avoid as far as possible the scheduling of meetings within that period next year, it is
proposed that the Council approves only the calendar of meetings of the first half of
2023, with the remaining dates then submitted early in the new year. 
2.3 Dates for the Integration Joint Board (and IJB PAC) and Ayrshire Regional Economic
Joint Committee (and Partnership Board) are provisional, to be agreed by the IJB and
Joint Committee, respectively. 
2.4 An indicative date for the Special Meeting of Council to consider the budget is included
for information only at this stage, with arrangements to be finalised in due course.

2.5  The proposed timetable does not include the following meetings which will be
intimated separately to Members: 
• the six Locality Partnerships, which take place in the early evening on a quarterly
basis; 
• the Local Development Plan Committee, Staffing and Recruitment Committee,
Education Appeal Committee, Appeals Committee and Special Council (Planning),
which meet on an ad hoc basis, as required; 
• any Special Meetings of the Council and its committees which may be required,
including meetings to consider Cabinet Call In requests 
• any meetings of the 1st Tier Joint Consultative Committee, which sets its own
meetings calendar 
3. Proposals 
3.1 The Council is invited: 
(a)  to approve the draft committee timetable for January – June 2023 set out at
Appendix 1; and

meeting dates.  In particular, efforts have been made to ensure that the timing of

possible with accounting period requirements.
