Background Information

Indicative agenda schedules are set out in section 5 of the work programme.

The Forward Plan starting April 2015 is included which outlines decisions to be taken by the City Executive Board or Council.

Why is it on the agenda?

Members are asked to select which Forward Plan items they wish to pre-scrutinise at the 29 April Scrutiny Committee meeting, based on the following criteria:

-       Is the issue controversial / of significant public interest?

-       Is it an area of high expenditure?

-       Is it an essential service / corporate priority?

-       Can Scrutiny influence and add value?

A maximum of three items for pre-scrutiny will normally apply.

Who has been invited to comment?

Andrew Brown, Scrutiny Officer will present the work programme, answer questions and support the Committee in its decision making.
