Calendar of meetings 2001/02

Report: 14
Date: 8 March 2001
By: Clerk

Summary

This report proposes a calendar of meetings for the Authority and its committees for the year to June 2002.

If agreed, each committee will be invited to consider any individual arrangements such as whether to continue with current start times or to hold some meetings in the evening.

A. Recommendation

That the calendar of meetings be approved and individual committees invited to consider any individual arrangements, such as the start time of meetings.

B. Supporting information

1. At its last meeting, the Authority agreed the principle of moving to a two monthly committee cycle, although it was recognised that more frequent meetings of the Finance, Planning and Best Value Committee might be necessary over the budget period. Monthly meetings of the Co-ordination and Urgency Committee should also be scheduled, but the committee would only need to meet if there was business to be transacted. The Authority also agreed dates for its meetings during the year.

2. Appendix 1 is the proposed schedule of dates for the Authority and its formal committees. The May and June 2001 dates are those already agreed as part of the current calendar of meetings. The proposals were copied to committee Chairs and Deputy Chairs for their comments. The schedule:

• provides an August recess;
• tries to spread the committee meetings as evenly as possible over the two month cycle;
• avoids clashes with the GLA's draft calendar of meetings for this period;
• is based on current committee memberships (for both the MPA and the GLA). Some review may be necessary if these change.

C. Financial implications

None.
