Issue - meetings

(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.

Committee considered the List of Key Decisions and items to be considered in private document.  The Scrutiny & Elections Officer explained the importance of Scrutiny involvement before reports were submitted to Executive and asked that any queries be directed to the listed officer or portfolio holder in the first instance.  Should Members then feel that a more detailed examination of the proposed decision is required, Members must contact the Monitoring Officer and Scrutiny & Elections Officer so that a meeting of the relevant Scrutiny Committee can be held to enable pre-scrutiny of the decision.  She also explained the process of Call-in subsequent to Executive decisions.

Moved by Councillor Tom Kirkham and seconded by Councillor Phil Smith

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