Issue - meetings

The Head of Strategic Finance and Property summarised the content of the Work Programme which would be presented to Members at each meeting.  He proposed to include a further report on the Transformation Programme. The Head of Strategic Finance and Property said that the Audit Letter would not be presented to the January meeting.  Additionally, he said that he would be discussing with the Head of Legal and Democratic Services how best to arrange a joint meeting with the Overview and Scrutiny Committee in January.

Following a suggestion by the Chairman, the Head of Legal and Democratic Services agreed that it might be prudent to look at the new Code of Conduct in terms of training.

Members considered that further training before meetings could cover:

·               March 2022 – Risk

·               September 2022 – the accounts / budget

·               November 2022 – Standards and the Code of Conduct

Members supported this approach. 

It was moved by Councillor Curtis and seconded by Councillor Stowe that the recommendation as detailed, be approved.  After being put to the meeting and a vote taken, the motion was declared CARRIED.

RESOLVED – that the work programme as set out in the report be approved; and

(B)   the training requirements as detailed by Members be approved.
