A report by the Director of Law and Governance advised how the Committee, in co-operation with the other Policy and Service Committees, was responsible for proposing and delivering an annual committee work programme. This work programme should align with the corporate priorities of the Council, in particular the delivery of the key decisions which were within the remit of the Committee.

It was envisaged that the work programme would be formed from a combination of key decisions, standing items and requested officer reports. The report provided the Committee with an opportunity to plan and regularly review its work across the municipal year. The work programme for the Policy and Resources Committee was attached as an appendix to the report.

Members suggested a number of items could be added to the work programme, including:

·  How the Council undertakes consultation

·  An update on the Change Programme

·  An update on plans for income generating projects

·  An update on invest to save projects

·  An overview of Edsential

In response to a comment, Alan Evan, Director of Regeneration and Place, stated that the Economy, Regeneration and Development Committee would be having a workshop and presentation in January, 2021 and an invitation would be extended to all Members. The Growth Company business plan had previously been approved by Cabinet in early 2020, any changes would go to the Economy, Regeneration and Development Committee and then to this Committee.

On a motion by the Vice-Chair, seconded by Councillor Jeff Green, it was -

Resolved – That the proposed Policy and Resources Committee work programme for the remainder of the 2020/21 municipal year, incorporating the suggested additions above, be noted.
