Issue - meetings

(a)       That the Forward Work Programme be approved subject to the Committee noting that the Annual Improvement Report from Wales Audit Office may not be available for May 2014;   

(b)       That the Workforce Information Report including progress on appraisals be included in the Forward Work Programme; and

(c)        That updates on the Euticals issue be included within the Revenue Budget Monitoring reports. 

The Member Engagement Manager introduced the report to consider the Forward Work Programme for the Committee. 

            He detailed the items reported for consideration at the 8 May, 12 June and 10 July 2014 meetings but added that the Workforce Information report had been omitted from the Forward Work Programme.  During earlier discussions, further information on appraisals had been requested, and the Member Engagement Manager suggested that this be incorporated into the Workforce Information report. 

            The Head of ICT and Customer Services advised that due to delays in the receipt of the Annual Improvement Report from Wales Audit Office, the report might not be available for consideration at the 8 May 2014 meeting. 

            In response to a query from Councillor Richard Lloyd about whether a monthly update on the former Euticals site at Sandycroft was to be provided, the Member Engagement Manager advised that he would ask the Head of Finance to include the information in the monthly Revenue Budget Monitoring reports about the amounts spent on the site. 

            RESOLVED:

(a)       That the Forward Work Programme be approved subject to the Committee noting that the Annual Improvement Report from Wales Audit Office may not be available for May 2014;   

(b)       That the Workforce Information Report including progress on appraisals be included in the Forward Work Programme; and

(c)        That updates on the Euticals issue be included within the Revenue Budget Monitoring reports.
