131. EXEMPT INFORMATION – CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS
Public bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960 section 1.
RESOLVED that in the view of the confidential nature of the business about to be transacted it is in the opinion of this Council, and advisable
in the public interest, that the public and press be temporarily excluded and they are instructed to withdraw.
Staffing – One Stop Shop (OSS)
It should be noted that whilst part of the discussion was held in confidential session due to the subject matter, all the recommendations/decisions were taken in open session to allow for ease of action to be taken.
132. OPEN SESSION
It was reported that the SODC contribution to the OSS, which is in the region of £26,000, was to cease from 1st April 2010 and this would have a major impact upon the OSS budget which covers staffing. Minute 92 of F&GP 29th June 2009 had recommended that £18,000 of the £26,000 is met from next year’s budget. Council had decided to note this recommendation and refer it to the 14th September 2009 Council meeting along with the report from this committee.
RESOLVED that due to the link between the funding of the OSS and the staffing implications, a joint committee meeting of Personnel & Admin and Finance & General Purposes Committee be held on Monday 7th September 2009, to discuss the OSS, and that the Town Clerk investigate potential income streams (both internal and external) for the OSS and the office staffing budget overall and provide a report to that meeting
The above decision was taken under Standing Order 36 as the next Council meeting is on 14th September 2009.
The Meeting commenced at 6pm and closed at 7pm
