RESOLVED : That the Committee – (i) Agreed the fees and charges set out in 3.4. (ii) Delegated authority to the Executive Director Governance, People & Resources to make the changes to fees and charges. Note: If the above recommendations are not agreed, or if the committee wishes to amend the recommendations, then the item will need to be referred to the Policy & Resources Committee meeting on 9 th February to be dealt with as part of the overall budget. This is because the budget is being developed on the assumption that the fees and charges are agreed as recommended and any failure to agree, or a proposal to agree different fees and charges, will have an impact on the overall budget, which means it needs to be dealt with by the Policy & Resources Committee as per the requirements of the constitution. This will not stop the committee from making recommendations to P&R.

"Decided elsewhere" is not built Finding the same decision in other councils needs semantic matching over decision text, which is part of the search rewrite. Until then, the council's own decisions list is the way through.
