Issue - meetings

To ask the Committee to agree a plan setting out its priorities and actions to meet them over the next four years.

The committee considered a report which sought agreement on a plan setting out the committees priorities, and actions to meet them, over the next four years.  The plan had drawn from Standards for England guidance on what excellent Standards Committees should be doing and linked to the goals and aims of the Council.

The Chairman said that the plan would need to be reviewed to include items from the discontinued sub-committees work plans.

It was agreed that Mr McGill would work with the Monitoring Officer to evaluate the goals and to ensure that they were measurable and to find a framework to enable the Standards Committee to focus its efforts and manage its vision, goals and priorities.

The plan should be brought to the committee on a regular basis for review.

Resolved

1.      That the priorities and actions for 2010 -14, as set out in the plan be approved subject to some modifications including evaluation to ensure that the goals are measureable.

2.      That the forward work plan be amended accordingly.
