Committee considered their work programme 2021/22.

 

It was suggested that, going forward, the Chairs and Vice Chairs present an annual verbal report on the work of the three themed Scrutiny Committees, rather than on a quarterly basis, with the preference being the January Budget meetings as all Members would able to attend.  The Chief Financial Officer suggested that the setting of Council Tax also be moved to the January meetings.  It was agreed that the Scrutiny & Elections Officer and the Chief Financial Officer would discuss this outside of the meeting and report the outcome at the next ACOSC meeting. 

 

The Scrutiny & Elections Officer advised Members that in relation to the Council’s Ambition Performance report, she had requested that these reports be more strategic and less detailed (as per Members request), and that only areas of concern be presented to this meeting.  She added that the Chairs and Vice Chairs of the 3 themed Scrutiny Committees and the Information, Performance & Engagement Manager, could attend the ACOSC pre meetings to ascertain where any extra detail would be required.

 

The Portfolio Holder for Finance & Resources raised concern that not all Scrutiny Members would get to know the performance of all their Committee’s targets.  The Scrutiny & Elections Officer explained that the full report would still be circulated to all Scrutiny Members and any feedback or queries could be raised at the pre meetings.  She added that this could be looked at again if it were found not to be sufficient.

 

Moved by Councillor Tom Munro and seconded by Councillor Chris Kane

RESOLVED that the Work Programme 2021/22 be noted.
