Scrutiny
Management and Work Planning
Summary
1.
This report outlines the scrutiny
work planning arrangements for the remainder of the municipal year,
highlighting the way in which items can be brought forward and then
allocated to committee meetings through a centrally held work
planning document.
Background
2.
In order to manage the workload of
Scrutiny and target limited resources in the most effective and
constructive way, we are holding a central Work Planning Document
which will be kept up to date by Democratic Services, in
conjunction with the Chair & Vice Chair of CSMC.
3.
The document will record all items
brought forward for potential Scrutiny and will log their progress.
Where appropriate, CSMC will assign items to Committee Meetings,
Forums or Commissioned Scrutiny, working in conjunction with
Committee Chairs, Senior Officers and Executive Members.
Central Work
Planning Document
4.
The document will record the
following information:
·
Priority
·
Scrutiny Type
·
Whether the item is on the Forward
Plan
·
The date of any expected related
decision and decision maker
·
The details of the meeting to
which it has been / will be assigned.
5.
In the event that items cannot be
progressed through Scrutiny, alternative routes will be discussed
with Committee Chairs and a decision will be recorded under a
‘Current progress’ section.
6.
It is hoped that by completing this
document in a timely manner that best use of resources can be
achieved to deliver maximum constructive Scrutiny input.
