Issue - meetings

To consider the report of the Programmes, Performance and Governance Manager, (copy enclosed).

The Committee considered the report of the Programmes, Performance and Governance Manager seeking Members’ agreement to establish a Working Group of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

The report outlined the agreed operating protocols for the Overview and Scrutiny Committee Working Group.  It was noted that two Member forms had been submitted for review and meeting of the Working Group was now required.

The Working Group Terms of Reference required the Membership to be politically balanced and in accordance with this the Committee was asked to agree the Members to sit on the Working Group.  It was confirmed that meetings of the Working Group would be virtual.

Councillor V J Bell proposed that Councillors R P F Dewick, B B Heubner, C Mayes and herself be appointed to the Working Group.  This proposal was duly seconded.  Councillor Bell then amended her proposal removing Councillor Dewick and replacing him with Councillor N J Skeens.  This amendment was duly seconded and agreed.

RESOLVED that the following Members are appointed to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee Working Group:

·                  Councillor V J Bell;

·                  Councillor B B Heubner;

·                  Councillor C Mayes;
