To Consider a report of the Head of Governance and Democratic Services.

The Committee reviewed its work programme for the current municipal year.

The Chairman informed the committee that he had recently met with the Finance portfolio holder in relation to the budget setting consultation process for the 2014/15 budget and the Head of Commercial Strategy Business Innovation & Performance about co-ordinating the work of the committee with the Corporate priorities of the Council and that changes to the work programme would be made to take account of these discussions.

RESOLVED –

(a)  That the report be received;

(b)  That the meeting scheduled to take place on 6 January be re-arranged on a date later in January to allow the committee sufficient time to be consulted on the draft budget 2014/15;

(d)  That an item be included in the work programme to review complaints and the results of the annual citizen’s panel survey.
