The Lead Member for Economic Development, Planning and Assets, Cllr Ros Wyke, introduced the report and handed over to the Monitoring Officer, David Clark, who explained that the proposals were an administrative change to the to the role and remit of the of the Sub-Committee. The major focus of the revised terms of reference were to allow the Sub-Committee to deal with the main significant areas of business and to allow officers, who already had delegated authority to deal had with the minor day to day operations of the portfolio.

In response to a question over attending the Sub-Committee’s meetings online the Monitoring Officer explained that it was because of the sensitive commercial nature of the information discussed, and the difficulty of controlling access via Teams, that the meetings, which complied with all the current legal requirements, were held in person.

The Leader of Council pointed out that some wording had been missed off the proposed recommendation which should after ‘Appendix A’  read ‘Revisions to Property and Investments Executive Sub-Committee - Revised terms of reference‘.
