ELECTIONS AND DEMOCRATIC STRUCTURES COMMITTEE - WORK PROGRAMME 2012/13
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
1. |
To
consider and agree the key issues that will form the Elections and Democratic
Structures Committee’s (EDSC) Work Programme for the 2012/13 Municipal Year. |
RECOMMENDATION
The Committee is asked to consider
and comment on the draft Work Programme for 2012/13, as detailed in paragraph
4 of this report. |
BACKGROUND
3. |
It was agreed last year between the Chair
and Vice-Chair of this Committee and the relevant lead Officers for EDSC,
that it would be useful for the Committee to approve an indicative Work
Programme for the coming year. This
assists Members in planning and prioritising the work of the EDSC and helps
to ensure that the Committee focuses on the key issues that need to be
addressed during the coming year. |

|
|
||||||||
4. |
Details of the Committee’s indicative Work
Programme for 2012/13 are set out in the table below for Members’ consideration. Members are requested to consider and
comment on the draft Programme, and suggest any additional areas of work that
they would like the EDSC to carry out during the coming year. |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
5. |
It should be noted that once the work programme is
agreed, there will still be some degree of flexibility in terms of varying
the business to be considered at each meeting of EDSC, in order to
accommodate any unforeseen matters or changing priorities that may occur during
the year. |

6. |
This report provides the Committee with an
opportunity to develop a work programme for 2012/13. The alternative is not to agree a Work
Programme for the Committee. This
option is not considered appropriate, as it is considered good practice to
have an established work programme in place. |
