27.1 Second Amendment to the Rules of Procedure of the Council

Proposal

The Council hereby issues a directive affirming its commitment to strengthening the regulatory framework and enhancing administrative efficiency across the local governance structure. This decision reflects a strategic focus on refining existing protocols to better serve the community and uphold principles of effective governance and transparency. The amendments to the prevailing rules are deemed essential for achieving these specified objectives, ensuring that the operational foundations of the council remain robust and responsive to contemporary needs.

To facilitate this crucial undertaking, the Administrative Unit, operating under the direct oversight of the Secretary General, is hereby charged with the immediate responsibility to thoroughly revise, formally publish, gazette, and subsequently implement the approved modifications to the current regulations. This comprehensive process underscores the Council's dedication to meticulous procedural adherence and public accountability. A strict timeline has been established, mandating that these vital amendments shall be fully implemented within one month of their official endorsement, thereby ensuring a prompt and efficient transition.

Furthermore, a key component of this directive involves engaging with the island councils to ensure a coordinated and integrated approach. The Administrative Unit is directed to formally apprise all island councils that these regulatory adjustments are now in effect, simultaneously requiring a comprehensive review of all existing committee lists to ensure their alignment with the updated framework. In a further commitment to participatory governance and decentralization, island councils are also instructed to prepare and submit a draft of proposed changes pertinent to their respective operations, with a clear expectation for these drafts to be reviewed and approved within one month. This collaborative mechanism is designed to integrate local insights and foster a cohesive approach to regional administration.

This comprehensive set of directives reiterates the Council’s unwavering dedication to fostering sustained development, enhancing municipal services, and promoting overall community well-being through proactive and transparent administrative reforms.
