The dates of future meetings were noted:
Business meetings of OSC
Provisional Call-In dates
Concern was expressed on the date of the budget meeting and whether this date would affect the public attendance for this very important meeting. Cllr Erbil advised that all OSC members will be provided details of how this meeting will be advertised by email very shortly.
Cllr Erbil advised that the provisional Call in date of the 28th November will not be used. The Associate Cabinet Members (ACM’s) have recently informally advised the chair that they will not be attending the committee. Therefore, an invitation has been sent to the Leader for the 30th January on this item.
Members were extremely disappointed that the ACM’s had chosen not to attend.

Concerns were raised regarding the recent addition to meeting dates that had not previously been scheduled in the Council calendar to accommodate individuals who had not been able to attend pre-scheduled meetings. This is not how things have been done or should be done going forward.
Members also expressed their concerns at the date of the OSC budget meeting which was now scheduled to take place very close to Christmas on the 19th December 2019 and whether this date would affect public attendance for this very important meeting. Councillor Erbil advise that all OSC members will be provided with details of how this meeting will be advertised by email very shortly.
Action: Claire Johnson, Head of Governance & Scrutiny
