Agenda item

Consideration was given to the report of the Corporate Director, Resources which informed Members of the progress in determining terms of reference for the Pension Fund Committee (for copy see file of Minutes).

A copy of the draft Terms of Reference were attached to the report. Hilary Appleton advised that the Terms of Reference would determine the future programme of works of the Committee and suggested that a workshop session be arranged to enable Members to review the draft terms of reference and develop a document that could be agreed by the Council.

Councillor Carr referred to the review carried out by Audit in relation to the responsibilities of the Committee and expressed concern with regard to the areas highlighted for consideration, in particular the reference to the minutes not covering all relevant information. He hoped that the workshop would address all the issues referred to.

Resolved:

That

(i)                 the draft operational Terms of Reference be noted;

(ii)               a workshop session be arranged to agree the Terms of Reference and the information requirements of the Committee.
