Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To recommend a response to the White Paper on the reform of the governance and funding of Fire Authorities in Wales to the meeting of Council on 29 January.

Decision:

That with the inclusion of view of the Committee that the current governance model works and is strong and therefore should not be altered, the responses to the questions in Appendix 2 of the report be endorsed to Council as the formal Flintshire response to the Reform of Fire and Rescue Authorities in Wales White Paper.  The sole change required is in financing, so that Fire and Rescue Authorities become precepting, rather than levying bodies.
