Issue - meetings

(a)       That the Forward Work Programme, as amended, be approved; and

(b)       That the Democratic Services Manager, in consultation with the Committee Chairman, be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings, as the need arises.

The Democratic Services Manager presented the current Forward Work Programme for consideration.  The following changes were agreed:

·         Council Plan Quarter 3 report to be moved from March to February.

·         Items to be scheduled on the Asset Register and Job Descriptions as requested by Councillor Woolley.

On the latter, the Chief Executive asked Councillor Woolley to clarify the reason for the two items following detailed information already shared.

On the Council Plan, Councillor Jones requested that the Committee receive a dashboard of measures to show performance across the Council at the March meeting.  This matter would be discussed further under Agenda Item 9.

In response to comments from Councillor Heesom, the Chief Executive gave a brief overview of the Programme Boards set up to set and track financial efficiencies.  As the meetings were informal, there were no published minutes although further information could be made available on request from specific Chief Officers.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the Forward Work Programme, as amended, be approved; and

(b)       That the Democratic Services Manager, in consultation with the Committee Chairman, be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings, as the need arises.
