RESOLVED:

(i)  that officers consider the following comments relating to how the performance figures and supporting information be presented in the future:

(a)  changing the way the variance figures were calculated.  It was felt that where the actual and target figures were expressed in percentages the variance figure, also expressed as a percentage was misleading;

(ii)  that the Chief Executive or Chief Strategy Officer be present at future meetings where the Council’s performance would be considered.
