As detailed in the recommendation.  

The Cabinet Member for Corporate Management introduced a report to provide an update on progress of achievement against the Flintshire Futures efficiency targets and the strengthened Flintshire Futures governance arrangements and to consider capacity building proposals recommended by the Flintshire Futures Programme Board for agreement.  He explained that the Board was now in place with the Member representation being the Leader, Deputy Leader, Cabinet Member for Corporate Management and the Chair of Corporate Resources Overview & Scrutiny Committee.  The Terms of Reference of the Board had been agreed and were attached at Appendix 1. 

                        The Chief Executive explained that Appendix 2 showed all projects that were intended to be undertaken with minimum return on investment ratio of 5:1.  These proposals in fact estimated a 9:1 return.

                        The Leader of the Council welcomed the Member involvement on the Project Board and the contribution made by Councillor R.B. Jones, the Chair of Corporate Resources Overview & Scrutiny Committee.
