Minutes:

The Democratic and Electoral Services Manager introduced the report and explained the proposal for two facilitated sessions to be undertaken with the Centre for Governance and Scrutiny. Proposed dates for the sessions were 7 and 30 September and would be physical meetings, however this could be supplemented with remote access. Determining the council size would be significantly impacted by the work on executive arrangements and both pieces of work would need to run alongside each other, as demonstrated in the proposed timetable. The Committee Work Programme would be amended to reflect this.

 

In response to questions, the Democratic and Electoral Services Manager explained that it is possible for officers to draft the submission and bring it to the Committee to agree, however it was important that Members were involved throughout the process as it would be their submission.

 

RESOLVED: That the approach and timetable outlined in section 2 of the report be agreed and that the Head of Policy, Communications and Governance liaise with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman on questions that arise requiring Member input before the Committee meeting on 13 October 2021.
