Issue - meetings

(a)       To receive and note the minutes

(b)       To consider any recommendations contained within the minutes

The minutes of the meeting of the Performance Management Board held on 15th June 2009 were submitted.

It was noted that as part of its discussion on the Performance Report, the Board had requested that consideration be given as to whether the target for payment of invoices within 10 days was realistic. The Head of Financial Services confirmed that this was a target which she had suggested in accordance with national guidance.

The Leader also referred to Minute No 17/09 which related to the Comprehensive Performance Assessment Report. He stated that whilst the rating of “fair” was a significant achievement, the actions of some Members had impacted negatively upon the Authority’s chances of achieving a rating of “good”.     

RESOLVED  that the minutes be noted and the recommendations contained at Minute 15/09 arising from the Performance Report be approved, subject to the discussion referred to above.
