Report of the Town Clerk.

Members received a report of the Town Clerk concerning the Projects and Procurement Sub-Committee.

The Chairman commended the proposals in the report, and hoped that Members would agree the composition, for appointment in May. Members also noted that officers would be exploring changes to the Sub-Committee’s reporting threshold in the coming year.

The Chairman also suggested that the Sub-Committee should meet three weeks before the Finance Committee.

A Member noted that the Sub-Committee would have two Members appointed by the Finance Committee on the basis of skill sets, and asked whether the appointment of External Members should also be considered. In reply, the Chairman said that he was open to exploring this at a later date.

RESOLVED, that – Members

a)      Approve the proposed revisions to the composition of the Projects and Procurement Sub-Committee for appointment in May.

b)      Endorse the proposed scheduling of the Sub-Committee to meet three weeks before the Finance Committee.
