Issue - meetings

The Scrutiny & Elections Officer presented the Executive Response to the final review report to Members.  All recommendations had been approved and the report would now move in to the monitoring phase reporting on progress against the recommendations in six and twelve months’ time.

It was noted that there had been a query over recommendation 12 and whether the monitoring reports for the grant allocations should come to scrutiny.  Members were informed that the Scrutiny & Elections Officer and Cllr David Dixon had advised Executive that whilst this had been an initial consideration for scrutiny, on consultation with Executive & Partnerships team it was felt that the existing process of reporting to Executive and Council met expectations.

Moved by Councillor Jen Wilson and seconded by Councillor Evonne Parkin.

RESOLVED that (1) Members note Executive’s Response to the Review of Voluntary & Community Sector Grant Allocations,

(2) Members make its report and findings public, in accordance with Part 4.5.17(4) of the Constitution,

(3) officers monitor progress on the recommendations and report in six and twelve months’ time highlighting exceptions to delivery, in accordance with Part 3.6(1) of the Constitution.
