Issue - meetings

To confirm the Work Programme for the Overview and Scrutiny Committee for 2019/20.

Members considered the Overview and Scrutiny Committee Work Programme which would be a standing item on future agendas to help with forward business.

It was noted that a report on service and financial planning would come to the next Committee meeting (11 July 2019) as an item on the latest Medium Term Financial Plan (2020/21 to 2024/25) and Budget Forecast for 2020/21.

The Leader, Councillor M. Brunt, would come to the Committee to give an update twice a year.

It was identified that in the updated organisational structure, three Executive Members had responsibility one of three areas of Council business: Organisation, People and Place. Therefore, each group of portfolio holders would be invited annually to meetings to present updates on each of their strands of business.

Other future Agenda items would include the developing housing strategy and any commercial revenue and benefits work.

It was requested that the planned updated plan on carbon management (discussed at Full Council on 7 February 2019 – Item 75 – Climate Change) come to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee for discussion before going to full Council.

Members thanked Councillor N. Harrison for standing as new Chair of the Committee.
