Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Corporate Director of Resources which informed Members of the Work Plan the Local Pension Board had agreed at its last meeting (for copy see file of Minutes).

Councillor Martin referred to the local elections in May 2017 when there may be a change in Board membership and asked about training for new members who may be unfamiliar with the local government pension scheme and the role of the Local Pension Board. Nick Orton informed the Member that training needs were considered at each Local Pension Board meeting and would therefore be addressed.

Councillor Hopgood, Chair of the Local Pension Board concurred with the comments made and emphasised the need for all Board members to be conversant with scheme regulations. The proposed Work Plan would ensure that the Board fulfilled its role in assisting the Administering Authority in the effective governance of the Local Government Pension Scheme.

Resolved:

That the information contained in the report be noted.
