As well as two meeting each month (usually the first and third Monday), the Council operates a Finance Committee, which comprises of five Councillors, and also an Open Spaces Committee, which also comprises of five Councillors.
The Open Spaces committee meetings are held quarterly.
The Quarterly Finance Committee meetings tend to be later in the month due to the extra work required in preparing for these following a full Council meeting.
A committee discusses business pertinent to its area of specialization and passes pending decisions back to the full Council for resolution.
