The Policy Officer highlighted that it was reported to the Executive’s previous meeting in June that the Leader would be making a delegated decision on whether to continue to work collectively or to merge with the Gwynedd Public Services Board. She advised that having reviewed the documentation it has become clear that although there was a legal requirement that the arrangement be reviewed following the Local Government Election, the stipulation was that the two Boards should meet to come to a determination separately. The two Boards have since met and have decided to continue to collaborate meaning that a delegated decision by the Leader regarding future arrangements is not necessary as there has been no change to the current position.

In response to a question about the inclusion on the Work Programme for the Executive’s September, 2022 meeting of an item on Disabled Facilities Grant expenditure, the Chief Executive confirmed that the Housing Service had made the request and said that while he had no objection in principle to its being included he wished to discuss the matter further with the Head of Housing Services to ensure that the Service is in a position to report to the September meeting in view of the August recess.

It was agreed that the timing of the item on the Work Programme be left to the judgement of the Chief Executive in discussion with the Head of Housing Services.

It was resolved to confirm the Executive’s updated Forward Work Programme for the period from August, 2022 to March, 2022 as presented.
