Decision:

(a)       That the Committee considers the draft Forward Work Programme and approve/amend as necessary;

 

(b)       That the Facilitator, in consultation with the Chair of the Committee be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings, as the need arises; and

Minutes:

The Facilitator presented the latest Forward Work Programme and reported on the arrangement being made for an all Member workshop on the North Wales Economic Ambition Board (NWEAB) to be held in May, 2020.  Details of the date, time and venue of the workshop would be circulated to Members in due course.

 

            The Facilitator also reported, that following consultation with the Chairman, arrangements had been made for the Committee to receive a briefing session on SARTH and the Allocations Policy prior to the start of the next Committee meeting scheduled for 29 April, 2020.

 

            In conclusion, the Facilitator reported that the Wales Audit Office (WAO) were seeking to speak to a small number of Members of the Committee on the Rent Arrears Service.  She said that she would e-mail the Committee following the meeting to seek volunteers to take part in a meeting with the WAO. 

 

            Councillor Patrick Heesom expressed his disappointment that the all Member workshop on the NWEAB was not being held until May and commented on the need for Members to scrutinise the deal as a matter of urgency.  The Facilitator explained that following requests from a number of Scrutiny Committee’s for a report on the NWEAB it was felt that a workshop to allow all Members to contribute would be the best way forward.  The reason that May was being proposed as a date was that additional workshops to allow Members to consider the Council Plan 2020/21 and revised Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) were required first to allow consideration prior to reports being presented to County Council.   

 

RESOLVED:

 

(a)       That the Committee considers the draft Forward Work Programme and approve/amend as necessary;

 

(b)       That the Facilitator, in consultation with the Chair of the Committee be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings, as the need arises; and

 

(c)        That the Committee notes the progress made in completing the outstanding actions.
