Agenda item

The following two items of urgent business were raised –

1.   The Chair asked Members to note the change in meeting date of the Committee in September. The new meeting would take place on the 5^th at 11am, the change was due to officer availability in early September.

2.  The Chair proposed introducing an appraisal process for their performance. The Deputy Chairman would lead the process with Members inputting their views and scores.

·         Members welcomed the proposal and suggested that any process should include an appraisal of the general effectiveness of the Committee as a whole.

·         The Town Clerk cautioned Members that officers, whilst able to assist in terms of the administration of the process should remain neutral when it came to appraising Members. The Town Clerk and the Director of HR would review options and come back to Members in the autumn.
