Issue - meetings

1.    Members considered the update.

2.    The Committee expressed a preference for meetings to be held at 9:30am and this preference will be given to Constitution and Democratic Services to schedule future meetings.

            Mr Hughes highlighted section 1.01 where the Committee is required to express a preference for its meeting pattern and hence whether they should take place in the morning or afternoon.

            Councillor Bateman suggested starting at 9:30am rather than 10am. The remaining Committee members agreed to the proposal.

            Mrs McWilliam highlighted the training needs analysis referenced in the papers and noted that these would be provided to Members during the following week. All Members were asked to highlight on the training needs analysis where they considered they needed any additional training.   This will be a requirement on a regular basis to assist in the scheduling of training sessions.

            Mrs Burnham explained how the breaches are updated on a regular basis and that at this point none will be reported to the Pensions Regulator, although this position will be reviewed in January 2018.
