Decision details

To provide an update on the future of the Partnership

6.1       The Lead Member considered a report by the Assistant Chief Executive.

DECISION

6.2       The Lead Member RESOLVED to (1) agree to the proposed direction of travel for the partnership as set out in the report;

(2) delegate authority to the Chief Executive to amend or enter in any agreements necessary to give effect to this; and

(3) approve the dissolution of the Joint Committee. 

Reasons

6.3       The enhanced collaborative arrangement will require an amendment to the Inter Authority Agreement.  As there is no longer an intention to integrate the services and each authority will retain its own service, the Joint Committee can be dissolved and the services are overseen by the arrangements within the sovereign bodies as previously.
