Minutes:

The Facilitator presented the Forward Work Programme for consideration.  She advised Members that it had been agreed that a short briefing session to consider ‘How the HRA works’ would be held at 9.30 a.m. prior to the next meeting of the Committee on 20 December 2017.   She also explained that it had been agreed that the meeting of the Committee to be held on 31 January 2018, be rescheduled to 15 January 2018.

 

The Facilitator drew attention to paragraph 1.03 of the report and advised that at the meeting of the Constitution & Democratic Services Committee held on 25 October 2017, it was resolved that each Committee should be canvassed for views on its meeting preference as part of their forward work programme.  She referred to the options as detailed in the report and asked the Committee to express a preference for its meeting pattern.  The outcome would be reported back to the Constitution & Democratic Services Committee.

 

Councillor Paul Shotton proposed that the Committee retained its current arrangement to meet on a Wednesday morning at 10.00 a.m. and when put to the vote this was agreed.
