Is subject to call in?: No
Decisions:
Members considered the list of anticipated reports which had been split into service areas and which were due to be considered by the Cabinet between September 2009 and April 2010.
Information was requested on Contract and Procedure Rules update (item number 9 under Financial Services), the new Council House accommodation (item number 3 under Legal, Equalities and Democratic Services) and the Arts Strategy (item number 5 under Street Scene and Community). In relation to the Arts Strategy, the Chairman believed there should be some link to reducing crime and anti?social behaviour.
With regards to the first item under Legal, Equalities and Democratic Services, it was explained that Councillor Call for Action (from the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007) and Crime and Disorder Scrutiny (from the Police and Justice Act 2006) were due to come into force on 1st April 2009. However, due to relevant guidance being issued late, there was no expectation that local authorities would have appropriate systems and processes in place immediately. Members were informed that a report covering these issues would be considered at the next meeting of Full Council due to be held in April. With regard to managing petitions, it was confirmed that guidance had not yet been finalised.
The boundary review and front line Councillors item were a result of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 and it was stated that the Head of Legal, Equalities and Democratic Services and Assistant Chief Executive were working together on these issues and would be presenting the information to all Members in due course.
RESOLVED:
(a) that at the next meeting of the Board due to be held on 2nd June 2009, further information be provided verbally by the Executive Directors on the following items:
(i) Contract and Procedure Rules update (item number 9 under Financial Services);
(ii) New Council House accommodation (item number 3 under Legal, Equalities and Democratic Services); and
(iii)Arts Strategy (item number 5 under Street Scene and Community); and
(b) that the anticipated Cabinet Reports for September 2009 to April 2010 be noted.
