MAIDSTONE BOROUGH COUNCIL
STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP AND CORPORATE SERVICES overview and scrutiny committee
TUESDAY 5TH AUGUST 2014
REPORT OF THE LEADER OF THE COUNCIL AND THE CABINET MEMBER FOR CORPORATE SERVICES
Report prepared by Christian Scade
1. Cabinet member priorities for 2014-2015
1.1 Issue for Consideration
1.1.1 On the 10th June 2014 the committee requested that both the Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Member for Corporate Services provide a short report outlining their priorities for 2014-2015. These can be found at Appendix A.
1.2 Recommendation
1.2.1 That the committee notes the report, and makes recommendations as appropriate.
1.3 Reasons for Recommendation
1.3.1 To
effectively scrutinise the performance of the Cabinet it is important that the
committee are aware of the Cabinet Members priorities for the year.
1.3.2 It would also be beneficial for the committee to interview the Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Member towards the end of the year to receive an update on progress against the priorities outlined in Appendix A.
1.4 Alternative Action and why not Recommended
1.4.1 The committee could choose not to receive a report outlining the Cabinet Members priorities for the year. However this would mean that it would be harder for the committee to scrutinise the work of the executive, and to hold them to account.
1.5 Impact on Corporate Objectives
1.5.1 This committee primarily focuses on the corporate priority of Corporate and Customer Excellence.
1.6
Other
Implications
