Agenda item

The Head of Regulatory Services reminded the Board that the meeting of the Board on Thursday 6^th October 2022 was not quorate due to unforeseen circumstances impacting on one Board Member, which had resulted in one partner authority not being represented at the meeting.   

Having discussed all options with the Council’s Legal Advisor and Head of Regulatory Services, the Chairman determined that the meeting would go ahead in order to avoid wasted journeys; having noted that no papers on the agenda required a formal vote for decision, they were all simply for noting. Members who were in attendance were then able to ask questions of the officer’s present on the reports presented and a broad ranging discussion of the issues raised took place.

However, in order to address what was effectively outstanding business, this report introduced those previously scheduled papers as background papers; in order for them to be formally noted by the Board and to agree the minutes of the previous meeting held on 23^rd June 2022.

The reports that were presented to Board Members on 6^th October 2022, were included as background papers, with the agenda distributed for 17^th November 2022.

Thus, enabling those Board Members who were not in attendance to address their contents and to ask any questions during today’s meeting.

RESOLVED that the Board papers report for 6^th October 2022 be noted, and that the relevant recommendations in each of the reports as detailed in the background papers as provided, be noted.
