Issue - meetings

To submit a report by the Head of Democratic Services.

It was resolved to confirm the Executive’s Forward Work Programme for the period December, 2019 to July, 2020 as presented.

The report of the Head of Democratic Services incorporating the Executive’s Forward Work Programme for the period from December, 2019 to July, 2020 was presented for consideration and the following changes were noted - 

•           New Items 

•           Item 6 – Learning Disabilities – Transformation of Daytime Opportunities (Stage 1: Consent regarding the consultation process) (for the 27 January, 2019 meeting)

•           Item 27 – Learning Disabilities – Transformation of Daytime Opportunities (Stage 2: Report back on the outcome of engagement and transformation options) (for the 27 April, 2020 meeting)    

•           Additional Meetings

•           13 January, 2020 - finalisation of initial draft 2020/21 budget proposals for consultation

•           2 March, 2020 – Final 2020/21 Budget proposals for recommendation to the County Council along with other 2020/21 Budget related items.

The Executive noted that because of the slippage in the Welsh Government’s timetable for announcing the 2020/21 provisional and final local government settlements the timeline for local authorities in Wales to draft, consult upon and set their 2020/21 budgets has become  far more challenging. Consequently, because of the time constraints as well as the statutory deadline for councils to set and approve their budgets, the budget setting process this year will likely differ to that in previous years making it essential that the Council receives the information it needs to run its operations as from the new financial year in April, 2020 as soon as possible.

It was resolved to confirm the Executive’s Forward Work Programme for the period December, 2019 to July, 2020 as presented.
