Issue - meetings

In addition to seeing the Contracts Register at each future meeting, the Chairman suggested that some of the issues highlighted in the Internal Audit Report at item 9 of the agenda be considered in October and December. A Member suggested that it might be helpful to look at aspects not normally looked for and to look at unexpected concerns. The contract related to Manorfields could be considered in October and the CCTV and Stray Dogs contracts could be looked at and tracked in future meetings.

It was agreed that Guidance Notes on contract timetabling would be produced for the next meeting. The Chairman would also work with Cllr Pierce, Vice-Chairman, in looking at the minutes of the Audit Sub-Committee meeting held on 6^th July 2016.
