To agree the public minutes of the meeting on 26^th April 2017.

RESOLVED – That the public minutes of the meeting on 26^th April 2017 are approved as an accurate record.

Matters Arising

Pension Opt Out Figures     

Members noted the pension opt-out figures totalled 380 out of a workforce of 3800.  It was suggested a staff survey might prove beneficial in understanding how the scheme is seen amongst staff.

It was agreed that a comparison to other Local Authorities will be carried out initially to establish if the City Corporation’s opt out figures are out of kilter with others.

Training

Members noted that the training needs assessment is being reviewed.  It will be costly to run two training sessions so the intention is to conduct training in conjunction with the Police Pensions Board, some of whom have not been assiduous in returning their forms.  Training plans will be formulated once information has been received.

Date of next meeting

Friday 6^th October 2017, 1.45pm was agreed for the next meeting.  Town Clerk agreed to circulate suggested options and timeframes for meetings in 2018.
