To consider the Terms of Reference of the Joint Scrutiny Committee.

Minutes:

The Terms of Reference are incorporated within the Inter Authority Agreement (IAA) 2 and have been approved by both Cabinets.  They are based on previous joint working arrangements and the JOSC may make recommendations for amendment as they see fit.

 

The Monitoring Officer emphasised the need for Members to arrange substitutes if they were unable to attend a meeting in order to maintain the political balance of the Committee.

 

It was suggested that the Terms of Reference could be strengthened in some areas and that further consideration should be given to this.  The Terms of Reference were thought to be broad enough to allow scrutiny of any area but some refinement was required.

 

RESOLVED that the Chair and Vice Chair consider amendments to the Terms of Reference for further consideration at the next meeting

5.

Work Programme

To consider items for inclusion on the forward work programme.

Minutes:

The Monitoring Officer suggested that the Committee should consider some background information including the Five Case Business Model which will be used as a basis for selection deals.  Themes have been proposed at a strategic level but no individual projects have been considered.

 

Consideration of papers that have been submitted to the Board would also provide useful background information, for example a the last Board meeting considered a report on the Regional Skills Partnership (RSP).

 

A further suggestion was made that working groups could be established to consider the various themes that have been agreed.

 

RESOLVED that both Corporate Directors meet with the Chair and Vice Chair to discuss a draft work programme that will be circulated to Members for consideration prior to the next meeting.

 

 

 

The next meeting is scheduled for Monday 29 November 2021
