Report of the Town Clerk.

Members received a report of the Town Clerk setting out the ways in which the Sub Committee would be supported in delivering against the revised terms of reference. Members agreed that the current report focused on high level arrangements, and discussed the need, in September, for a detailed forward plan of work and that this would dictate the frequency of meetings.

Members discussed the role of the Efficiency and Performance Sub Committee in monitoring progress of the Service Based Review programme, provide strategic oversight, and consider the overview between funds. They also considered the need for Service Committees, in the first instance, to retain ownership of the delivery and implementation of any changes arising from the Service Based Reviews. The Deputy Town Clerk reported that arrangements were being made to develop a programme office at officer level to oversee and coordinate the delivery and implementation of the various work-streams together with a reporting mechanism to the Sub Committee.

RESOLVED – That a detailed paper be presented at the next Sub Committee meeting in September, including a recommendation for the cycle of meetings, and proposals for the process and mechanism for reporting on the Service based Review programme.
