Issue - meetings

To approve an updated Work Plan.

The LGR Governance Group presented an updated Work Plan for consideration and was attached as an appendix to the report.  The details contained in it represented the timescales within which reports were to be brought to the Committee.

Members then commented on various aspects of the Work Plan, and in particular Area working and political structures; review of the Members Allowances Scheme by a new Independent Remuneration Panel and the powers contained in the Shadow Council’s constitution to enable decisions to be made by officers in urgent circumstances.

RESOLVED - That the Committee:

1.      note the current detail of the Work Plan; and

2.      note that this will be developed and periodically brought back to the Committee for approval.
