Additional documents:
Minutes: The Chairman of Performance, Audit and Governance Scrutiny submitted a report setting out the Committee’s future work programme. The Interim Scrutiny Officer provided an update on the work programme and reminded Members that he had circulated an update on the Council’s Treasury Management Strategy in advance of a report to Members on 22 January 2019.
The Committee Chairman referred to the issue of Housing Associations and their performance. Members supported a suggestion to scrutinise their performance. Councillor T Stowe commented that his approach to a Director’s office usually elicited a positive response within 14 days. Councillor P Ruffles felt that it was important to keep Housing Associations under review and suggested that Network Homes be included within any review. This was supported. It was also suggested that the Executive Member for Housing be involved in the process.
The Interim Scrutiny Officer advised Members that a substantial amount of information would need to be gathered from a number of sources and explained that this information could be reviewed on the basis of a Task and Finish Group and then reported back to Members. This approach was supported.
It was moved by Councillor K
Crofton and seconded by Councillor J Wyllie that the draft work
programme, as amended, be supported.
After being put to the meeting and a vote taken, the motion was
declared CARRIED. RESOLVED – that the draft Work Programme, as now amended, for Performance, Audit and Governance Scrutiny Committee, be approved.
