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

(b)       That the Facilitator in consultation with the Chair of the Committee be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings should this be necessary.

The Democratic Services Manager presented the current Forward Work Programme for consideration.  He drew attention to the items scheduled for the next meeting of the Committee to be held on 18 March 2019, and advised that an additional item to provide an update on the Digital Strategy had been included for consideration at the meeting.  The Democratic Services Manager also advised that the item on NEWydd Catering and Cleaning Progress Review which was scheduled for consideration at the meeting on 18 March, had been moved to the meeting to be held on 13 May 2019, to allow for a report on Social Value Strategy to be presented on 18 March.

 The Democratic Services Manager referred to the item to be scheduled on Connah’s Quay Swimming Pool – Cambrian Aquatics Mid-Year Progress Report 2018/19.  He reiterated that the Board members of Cambrian Aquatics had difficulty attending the meeting of the Committee at County Hall, Mold, on 28 January, and it had been suggested that the time and the venue of the meeting be reconsidered to enable them to attend.  Councillor Paul Shotton commented that a previous meeting of the Committee had been held at Cambrian Aquatics, Connah’s Quay, in the morning and asked if this could be considered.  Councillor Tudor Jones suggested that a small number of members of the Committee attend a meeting with the Board members of Cambrian Aquatics at a mutually agreed time and report back to a future meeting of the Committee.  It was agreed that the Democratic Services Manger would explore the suggestions put forward with Cambrian Aquatics.

Councillor Ian Dunbar suggested that a future visit to Hwb Cyfle be arranged on behalf of the Committee.

Councillor Paul Shotton suggested that the venue for the meeting of the Committee to be held on 18 March, be changed to Deeside Leisure Centre.

RESOLVED:

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

(b)       That the Facilitator in consultation with the Chair of the Committee be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings should this be necessary.
