Agenda item

(Director of Governance) to consider the attached report.

The Committee considered the re-establishment of the Select Committee for 2017/18 and their Terms of Reference and Work Programmes for each of the Committees.

On consideration of the four terms of reference it was noted that item 1 in the ToR of the Neighbourhoods Select Committee should be revised to read “To undertake overview and scrutiny, utilising appropriate methods and techniques of services and functions of the Neighbourhood Directorate.” The same went for the equivalent item in the Resources Select Committee’s ToR. This was agreed.

Councillor Neville suggested that it should be added to the Neighbourhoods Select Committee’s work programme that the Essex Passenger Transport officers be invited to a future meeting. Councillor Bedford, the Chairman of the Select Committee noted that this had been agreed.

RESOLVED:

That the four Select Committees be re-established and their Terms of Reference and Work Programmes as amended, be agreed.
