Report of Clerk and Monitoring Officer

Councillor Wheeler requested an adjournment to allow Members the opportunity to read the Clerk’s report which had only been distributed at the beginning of the Meeting.

 

The Chair adjourned the meeting for 15 minutes. The Meeting resumed at 10.47 am.

 

Malcolm Townroe, the Clerk and Monitoring Officer introduced his report noting the appointments to the Authority, reviewing the committee structure, requesting nominations to committees and boards, including Chairs, and seeking confirmation of dates of meetings.

 

The Clerk advised Members that the proposed changes to the committee structure involved three strands;

 

·   the removal of the Performance Monitoring Committee, which, over the last year had only considered one overall performance report at each meeting. This work was to be subsumed into the work of the Policy and Strategy Committee and the terms of reference of the Policy and Strategy Committee would be amended to reflect this change;

 

·   the removal of the requirement for the Policy and Strategy Committee to include a member from the Human Resources, Finance and Resources and Community Safety Committees;

 

·   the removal of the Best Value Revue Board which had not met for several years.

 

Members welcomed the opportunity for the Authority to be able to contribute towards the overall savings having to be made by NFRS. Councillor Wheeler thanked the officers involved in producing the performance reports for the Performance Monitoring Committee over the last few years. Councillor Wheeler requested that Special Responsibility Allowances (SRA’s) be reviewed with a view to making further savings for the Service if possible. This should involve a cross party discussion. Councillor Wheeler also expressed his disappointment that the chairs of the Committees were all Labour Members.
