Minutes:
The Chairman moved proceedings to item 10 on the agenda.
The Chairman introduced the Memorandum of Understanding between the Executive and Scrutiny, which had been produced to meet recommendations of the Centre for Public Scrutiny. The aim of the document was to help better define the roles and responsibilities between the two functions to improve the working relationship in the best interests of the community.
Councillor Howell said the MoU was a good starting point for improving the working relationship between the Executive and Scrutiny and it was important to put this in place without delay.
Councillor Light said the MoU was positive but formal approval of the document should wait until after the election, as it was possible that a new Administration could be in place.
Members discussed delaying the implementation of the MoU. The majority of Members supported the implementation of the MoU without delay.
RESOLVED that the Scrutiny Committee approves the Memorandum of Understanding
