Exclusion of the Public The Chairman to move:-
“That the public be excluded from the meeting for the following items of business which involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in the paragraphs of Part I of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended) as indicated below”.
PART TWO (All reports in this section are on pink paper)
The closed section of the meeting will focus upon discussion to achieve savings, and will be facilitated by Dr. David Greenfield. As an impartial advisor, David will draw on his knowledge of other local authorities having similarly been faced with required savings, and will advise how best to move forward to ensure suitable actions are taken to avoid cost shunting and achieve holistic savings for all Partners. The plan is for there to be two separate discussion groups; Members with the Staffordshire Waste Partnership Officer to debate short term options as presented in the paper by Staffordshire County Council, and Officers with Dr. Greenfield to debate long term ideas for consideration. Members will discuss the short term options to ascertain the most palatable savings method and any political implications. Officers will discuss long term options to achieve savings to the Staffordshire tax payer, choosing several key options to focus on with in depth assessments. The required outcome of these discussions is to find a way forward together and to agree a basic timetabled plan of action that is suitable for all councils, which can be presented back to Chief Executives in due course.
