(b)       That the Member Engagement Manager pass on the suggestions from Councillor Woolley to the Environment Overview & Scrutiny Committee Facilitator. 

The Member Engagement Manager introduced the report to consider the Forward Work Programme of the Committee.

He explained that the Budget workshops for Members were due to take place on 16^th and 18^th December 2013 at 2pm and detailed the items due to be considered at the January and February 2014 meetings of the Committee.  Following a discussion earlier in the meeting, the Workforce Information Quarter 3 report scheduled for February 2014 would include details of the ongoing work being undertaken on improving attendance. 

Councillor Arnold Woolley asked that the following issues be considered by the Committee as he felt that they were threats to resources:-

- Issue of changing legislation on local authorities responding to flood relief

- responsibilities of a third Dee crossing, and its maintenance

- Mostyn Funship

The Member Engagement Manager said that the issues were in the remit of the Environment Overview & Scrutiny Committee and that he would pass on the suggestions to the Committee Facilitator.  The Chief Executive confirmed that the first two items could be considered but that the third issue was a private land issue. 

RESOLVED:

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

(b)       That the Member Engagement Manager pass on the suggestions from Councillor Woolley to the Environment Overview & Scrutiny Committee Facilitator.
