Meeting: 01/09/2009 - Overview Board (Item 29)

Minutes:

Members considered the items listed within the Work Programme for the Board.

The Scrutiny Officer informed councillors that a list of possible topics for Overview and Scrutiny was being compiled so that Overview and Scrutiny Members could make a more informed choice about what topics to consider and when to consider them. CMT were being consulted as part of this process, to help identify the key strategic issues. It was proposed that a meeting of all Overview and Scrutiny Members be held to discuss the list of possible topics for the Work Programme and that the Overview and Scrutiny boards then ratify the programme for the rest of the municipal year and the topics be scheduled around the meetings already planned, or as Task Groups where appropriate.

It was proposed that the next meeting date on 6th October 2009 be used as a work planning event, to plan and agree the topics for consideration by Overview and Scrutiny for the rest of the municipal year. The issues proposed at this Overview Board meeting would be noted as possible items for future consideration and added to the list of possible topics for Overview and Scrutiny. The Chairman had also submitted a number of possible topics and these had been added to the list.

RESOLVED that the Overview Board's Work Programme be noted and items identified for possible future consideration be compiled for consideration at the Overview and Scrutiny work planning event on 6th October 2009.
