Pre-decision Scrutiny ·
To select appropriate items from the Cabinet agenda for pre-decision
scrutiny (cabinet reports enclosed for Scrutiny Members) Minutes: The
committee scrutinised the following cabinet items: Establishing
Mayor’s Cadets Members
praised the commitment from the Council to young people, which would ultimately
help them gain experience for the future. Members
noted that from May 2020, three Mayor’s Cadets would be appointed for each
civic year. These would be selected from local Army, Navy and Air Force Cadet
Units. A piece of work would be conducted into widening the responsibility to
include other cadets, such as the Police, Ambulance and Fire Service. Following
scrutiny, the committee was supportive of the proposals to be considered by
cabinet. Advertising
and Sponsorship Policy The
scope of the Policy was discussed, in line with corporate/ethical procurement,
tendering and income generation. The existing arrangements regarding
sponsorship of roundabouts was discussed, and whether these arrangements would
continue or be brought in house at the end of the current contract. Other
topics of discussion included: ·
Planning permission and highways consent ·
Collaboration with third sector organisations ·
Balancing advertising with respecting the environment. Due
to the recent cabinet member portfolio changes, members noted that the
references to Deputy Leader contained within the Policy, as detailed at page 53
of the circulated cabinet board report, would be changed from ‘Deputy Leader’
to ‘Cabinet Member for Finance’. Following
scrutiny, the committee was supportive of the proposals to be considered by
cabinet. |
