Election of Chair for the meeting Minutes: RESOLVED to elect Councillor D Cook to Chair the meeting
(Moved by Councillor S Doyle and seconded by Councillor D Cook)
Councillor Cook made the following statement
Firstly I am happy to chair this meeting this evening in the absence of the Leader and Deputy Leader of the Council. We are depleted this evening on Cabinet due to the Covid times we live in. We have 4 members of Cabinet this evening who are having to self-isolate due to the need to protect themselves and others, this includes the Leader and Deputy Leader. We expect the public to do the right things around the need to protect themselves and others during this Pandemic, it is right that Councillors obey the same isolation rules. Therefore we are left with only 2 of us Cabinet members this evening, but it is also right we continue with the business of Tamworth as residents correctly expect of us. I have liaised with cabinet colleagues and I am comfortable I have their thoughts on the business this evening and will ensure their views are represented.

The Chair added in moving Recommendation 1 and 2, I wish to clarify – in relation to the first bullet point of recommendation 1 - the key principles we would seek in an equitable cost share between ourselves and the County Council as follows:
• There to be no capping of the level of support, the sharing should be on an open book reconciliation of actual costs, • The cost sharing to including all additional costs of a dual-stream service, including costs of transition and implementation, • That there should be no modification of the current mechanism of uplifting recycling credit in line with RPI.
If we’re not able to agree this equitable split we will hand back comingled disposal as detailed in the final bullet point of recommendation 1. |
