Issue - meetings

The Chairman submitted a report setting out the Committee’s future work programme for 2013/14, the detail of which was set out in Essential Reference Paper “B” to the report now submitted. 

The Scrutiny Officer drew Members’ attention to the reporting deadline for the 14 January 2014 meeting of Joint Scrutiny Committee and the budget process, adding that these reports could only be completed following the release of Government data which might not be provided to the Council until very late in December 2013.  The Director of Finance and Support Services stated that the reports might have to be marked “to follow” on the agenda for that meeting but that every effort would be made to get the information to Members as soon as possible. 

Members approved the Work Programme.

RESOLVED – that the Work Programme, as now amended, be approved.
