(b)       To consider any recommendations contained within the minutes

The minutes of the meeting of the Scrutiny Board held on 25th February 2010 were submitted.

There was discussion on Minute No 66/09 relating to the Climate Change Presentation and the recommendation that the Council sign up to the 10:10 campaign which aimed to reduce CO2 emissions by 10% in one year. It was accepted that in signing up to the campaign the Council was able to commit to a reduction of a 2% reduction and that this would signal the Council’s aspiration to reduce emissions further through the Climate Change Strategy which was being developed at present.   

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the recommendation contained at Minute No 66/09 relating to Climate Change  be approved, on the basis that when the Council’s Climate Change Strategy is approved, a press release be issued to include details of the Council’s participation in the 10:10 Campaign;

(b)       that the remainder of the minutes be noted.
