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 18th January 2010 were submitted. It was noted that in relation to Minute No 66/09 (Selby Benchmarking Visit), items (a) to (l) were in fact recommendations to Cabinet rather than resolved items. In relation to recommendation (d), the Executive Director – Finance and Corporate Resources felt the production of a five year Medium Term Financial Strategy would be difficult to achieve at present due to the number of assumptions which would need to be made.   

RESOLVED:

(a)       that recommendations (a) to (c) and (e) to (i) together with (k) and (l) contained at Minute No 66/09 be approved, that recommendation (d) relating to the production of a five year Medium Term Financial Strategy be recognised as a longer term aim and that consideration of recommendation (j) relating to the Community Engagement Programme be deferred pending consideration by the Community Involvement in Local Democracy Task Group;

(b)       that the recommendation contained at Minute 67/09 relating to the Town Centre be approved and that it be noted the review was already underway;

(c)        that the remainder of the minutes be noted; and

(d)       that this Council’s thanks be expressed to Selby District Council for the assistance and information provided both during and following the recent benchmarking visit.
