(Members should contact the officer whose name appears on the List of Key Decisions for any further information).  NB: If Members wish to discuss an exempt report under this item, the meeting will need to move into exempt business and exclude the public in accordance with the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985 and Local Government Act 1972, Part 1, Schedule 12a for that part of the meeting only.

 

Minutes:

Committee considered the List of Key Decisions and Items to be considered in private document.

In response to a Member’s queries, the Property Services Manager explained that the provision of positive input ventilation systems, was a ventilation system fitted to properties suffering from condensation mould and approval was being sought from Executive for the appointment of a contractor to install these where necessary into Council properties.  With regard to the purchase of facilities module for the existing IDOX (Uniform) EDMS system, this was a document system already used by a number of departments in the Council. Due to Property and Estates now requiring a new system to hold the Council’s asset data on, this was the preferred system as it would link to the other departments.

 

A Member sought clarification as to why some items on the list where to be considered in exempt business by the Executive.  He raised concern and felt that proper consideration had not been given to the second part of the public interest test.  The Senior Governance Officer noted that the List of Key Decisions was to give notice of items where officers intended them to be considered in exempt business by the Executive, however, it would be the decision of the Executive to decide at their meeting by way of voting if they should not be.  Although it was a Members’ right to query this in advance, the Member should raise his concern with the Monitoring Officer and this would be reviewed in advance of the agenda going out for the Executive meeting. Any specific queries about reports should be raised by the report author and/ or the Portfolio Holder.

 

Moved and seconded

RESOLVED that the List of Key Decisions and items to be considered in private be noted.
