Issue - meetings

To consider and amend the Board’s Forward Plan as appropriate and to consider the Cabinet Forward Plan.

The Chairman set out that the level of work coming through Cabinet would probably continue to necessitate the Overview and Scrutiny Board having two meetings each month and it was currently proposed that there would be one meeting in the afternoon followed by the originally scheduled evening meeting which would allow for substitutions and provide more flexibility.

The Board discussed the Cabinet Forward Plan items it wished to consider at the next meeting. The Board were advised that some items were likely to be postponed from the January Cabinet meeting. The Board agreed that further scrutiny was required for the following items:

   Smart Places Programme

   Fleet Replacement Funding Strategy

   BH Coastal Lottery

   Approval of Fixed Penalty Notices Policy for Environmental Crimes and associated pilot scheme for litter enforcement in Bournemouth Town Centre

   Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) strategic and neighbourhood governance

There was some debate concerning the report on Leisure Centre Management and whether this should be included for scrutiny at this stage or when the final report was taken to Cabinet. The Chief Executive suggested that the Board may wish to receive further information and an opportunity to contribute once the review had been established. The Board agreed to place this as an item on its Forward Plan.
