Issue - meetings

That the Committee formally request from the Heritage, Culture and Leisure Committee, additional details of the Destination Management Plan’s Task and Finish Groups, to include the terms of reference for each Group, dates and times of meetings and information on other Task and Finish Group members.

The Committee acknowledged the importance of the Destination Management Plan (DMP) as a major project for the Council and agreed it was important that the Committee engaged with the DMP Board.

The Committee was informed that the Task and Finish Groups were part of the DMP Board, which was external to the Council’s Governance structure, and as such, not governed by the Council’s Constitution.

The Committee agreed that, while there were Committee Members interested, it was difficult to nominate Committee Members to the Task and Finish Groups listed in the referral without knowing their terms of reference, frequency and timing of meetings and who other, external, members were.

RESOLVED: That the Committee formally request from the Heritage, Culture and Leisure Committee, additional details of the Destination Management Plan’s Task and Finish Groups, to include the terms of reference for each Group, dates and times of meetings and information on other Task and Finish Group members.
