Issue - meetings

To consider a report of The Borough Solicitor.

The committee considered the work programme 2009/2010 which had been reviewed  at a Mid-point meeting held on 20 October 2009.

The Chairman informed members that, unfortunately, little progress had been made in connection with the Voluntary Sector Task and Finish group.

In addition Members expressed the view that the original Budget Consultation timetable approved by the Committee on 13 July 2009 had not been adhered to and therefore suggested that an additional meeting of the Committee  should be held in December to receive a progress report  from  the Borough Treasurer and Resources Portfolio Holder.

The Committee also requested progress reports on the Harmonisation of ICT systems and procurement of the Customer Relation Management Solution (CRM) at its next meeting.

RESOLVED –

(a)    That the revised work programme as produced at the Mid point meeting held on 20 October 2009 be approved;

(b)    That the Committee’s dissatisfaction about the lack of progress in connection with the Voluntary Sector Task Group be formally noted;

(c)    That a special meeting of the Committee be convened in December 2009 to receive an update from the Borough Treasurer and Resources Portfolio Holder on the Budget preparations for 2010/2011;

(d)    That the ICT Manager be requested to give a presentation on the  Harmonisation of ICT systems and  Customer Services Manager be requested to give a presentation on the  CRM at the Special Meeting to be held in December 2009.
