By law, there must be an annual meeting of the council, which is held in May. The May meeting signifies the start of the Municipal Year and is largely ceremonial with the appointment of the Mayor. In election years, the May meeting would also appoint a Leader of the Council, set the meeting calendar and establish the committee membership. The council also has scheduled ordinary meetings throughout the year and can hold extraordinary meetings. Meetings of the council are often referred to as "full council". The Mayor chairs the meetings and all members of the council can attend them. Although the Cabinet takes most of the day-to-day decisions in the running of the authority, the meetings of the Council remain the ultimate policy making body for Fylde Borough Council.
