TRACKING RESOLUTIONS AND FEEDBACK FROM THE OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY MANAGEMENT BOARD

The Panel will monitor the progress of previous resolutions and receive any relevant feedback from the Overview and Scrutiny Management Board.

Minutes:

The Chair updated the Panel on their tracking resolutions and feedback from the Overview and Scrutiny Management Board.

 

With regard to tracking resolutions, the Panel was informed that –

 

(i)

the Hoe Foreshore Task and Finish Group was complete as the Panel made recommendations to the Management Board at their last meeting which would be submitted to the 28 July 2010 meeting – this item had therefore been greyed out as complete and would be removed from the tracking resolutions document;

 

(ii)

the item on Destination South West had been moved to the Panel’s work programme – this item had therefore been greyed out as complete and would be removed from the tracking resolutions document;

 

(iii)

the item on Plymouth City Council Housing Services had not progressed specifically with regards to the Overview and Scrutiny Management Board minute 94a recommendation ‘c’ as the Panel considered it was more appropriate to scrutinise homelessness and housing needs issues as a single Panel. It was agreed that the Panel recommend to the Overview and Scrutiny Management Board that the Growth and Prosperity Panel add these items to their work programme and scrutinise the issues alone;

 

(iv)

the Events Strategy – Coherent Marketing Strategy (joint Task and Finish Group) had been added to the Panel’s work programme and would be developed alongside the Visitors Strategy – this item had therefore been greyed out as complete as it was on the work programme and would be removed from the Panel’s tracking resolutions document;

 

(v)

the Community Events and Road Closure Policy had been added to the Panel’s work programme and would be discussed later in the agenda; this item had therefore been greyed out as complete as it was on the work programme and would be removed from the Panel’s tracking resolutions document;

 

(vi)

the Tree Strategy, as discussed at the Panel’s last meeting on 14 June 2010 would not be added to the Panel’s work programme as it was noted that this issue would be highlighted to the Panel if it became a concern in the future; this item had therefore been greyed out and would be removed from the Panel’s tracking document;

 

(vii)

the item regarding the Panel’s terms of reference would be submitted to the Overview and Scrutiny Management Board on 28 July 2010;

 

With regard to feedback from the Overview and Scrutiny Management Board held on 30 June 2010 the Panel was informed that –

 

(viii)

the Local Investment Plan should be added to the Panel’s work programme; this was agreed by the Panel;

 

(ix)

Section 106 Revenue should be added to the Panel’s work programme; it was acknowledged by the Panel that this item was already on their work programme;

 

(x)

Councillors Nicholson, Nelder and Berrow were nominated to sit on the South Devon Waste Partnership Joint Scrutiny Review; this was noted by the Panel

 

Agreed that the Panel recommend to the Overview and Scrutiny Management Board that recommendation ‘c’ from its 3 March 2010 meeting, namely ‘the Support Services OSP join with the Growth and Prosperity OSP to help with scrutiny of homelessness and housing needs issues’, be amended to read the following:

 

‘that the Growth and Prosperity Panel scrutinise homelessness and housing needs issues as a single panel and add this to their work programme to be scrutinised in the future’

 

Under this item Helen Rickman, the Democratic Support Officer, informed the Panel that Cabinet had discussed recommendations originating from the Growth and Prosperity Panel on the Review of the Skateboarding By-Law and the Review of Worklessness at their 8 June 2010 meeting. The Panel noted this update.
