The Member Engagement Manager introduced the current Forward Work Programme.  The Committee agreed to his suggestion that the new Chairman liaise with officers on scheduled items for the remaining meetings of the municipal year.  It was also agreed that the update report on the library network be scheduled for the June meeting.

In response to earlier discussion, the Member Engagement Manager gave a reminder about the process involving Members for agreeing Terms of Reference for Committees.  The Chief Executive suggested that Members may wish to consider at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting the best approach in dealing with incomplete topics passed to other Committees.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the Forward Work Programme be approved with the additions; and

(b)       That the Member Engagement Manager, in consultation with the Chair and Vice-Chair, be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings.
