Decision:

That the draft schedule of meetings for 2020/21 be approved, subject to the proposed changes.

Minutes:

The Chief Officer (Governance) presented the schedule of meetings for 2020/21 following consultation.  He advised that for 2020/21 a sequence of meetings had been included in September for all of the Overview & Scrutiny Committees to consider the Recovery Strategy and it would also be necessary to insert special meetings in the Autumn to consider proposals for the 2021/22 Budget.  The Chef Officer drew attention to the meeting of the Planning Strategy Group on 17 September and said this had been cancelled.

 

Councillor Mike Peers referred to planning site visits and said they were not shown in the proposed Schedule of Meetings for 2020/21 and suggested that they be included provisionally until resumed.   The Chief Executive agreed that the dates of planning site visits be provisionally added to the Schedule.  He explained that a risk assessment on site visits was being undertaken and pending the outcome of that work he anticipated they should continue in the near future where required.  In the interim the current arrangements would continue and feedback on the risk assessment would be provided to Members as soon as possible.

 

Councillor Ted Palmer moved approval of the recommendation in the report which was seconded by Councillor Carolyn Thomas.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the draft schedule of meetings for 2020/21 be approved, subject to the proposed changes.
