- report by Kevin Rice, HMR Manager, Wath and Swinton
Minutes:
In accordance with Minute No. 72, Kevin Rice, HMR Project Manager, submitted a further report on the future strategic structure and role of the Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder Steering Groups.
The proposed model was as follows:-
- Co-ordinating ADF Steering Group – Consist of tier 1 members of the Steering Groups in the next bullet point.
- Steering Groups – 2 tiers of membership. Will be instrumental in the preparation and monitoring of the programme of activity within the ADF area. Will be Chaired by a member from tier 1 and reflect the 5 Rotherham Strategic themes.
- HMR Pathfinder Joint Cabinet Meetings – meet on a quarterly basis and to other Council meetings and bodies as required.
- Constitutionally – Steering Groups will be aligned to the Council as Steering Groups. Members will be briefed as to their roles and responsibilities as members of a Council decision making forum.
Discussion ensued on the proposed model which built on the current structures and recognised the Rotherham Strategic Partnership and Area Assemblies. The following points were raised:-
- Should be more streamlined
- Difference of opinion on the role of small groups - based on the 5 themes and small groups based on projects?
- The relationship with Area Assemblies was essential as they were the major consultation vehicle within the Council
Agreed:- That a further report be submitted to the next meeting that includes a relationship diagram of the various groups.
