Leader's announcements
Minutes:
New Cabinet Transformation Committee
The Leader explained that as mentioned at the last meeting, she had now established the Cabinet Transformation Committee.
The Committee would comprise 5 members of Cabinet, namely Cllrs John Thomson, Jonathon Seed, Stuart Wheeler, Dick Tonge and the Leader. To provide flexibility, the Leader would be able to nominate remaining Cabinet members to substitute. The meetings would be open to the public subject to the usual restrictions on the consideration of Part II items. Other Cabinet and non executive members would be able to attend but not be able to vote. All members would receive email notifications of agenda and minutes as they did for Cabinet and other meetings as well as the publication of a Forward Work Plan for the Committee.
Key strategic partners involved in the Transformation programme such as the Police and the Clinical Commissioning Group would be invited to attend in a non-voting capacity.
The main purpose of the Transformation Committee would be to discharge the executive functions of the Council with regards to the implementation of the Transformation Programme. The Cabinet Capital Assets Committee would retain responsibility for decisions concerning the use of the Council’s assets in relation to the delivery of that programme. The Transformation Committee would meet every other month alternating with the Capital Assets Committee.
In accordance with the Council’s constitution, the Leader would inform Council at its next meeting of the establishment of this Committee and the executive powers she had delegated to it.
