Issue - meetings

To consider the report of the Executive Director Growth and Prosperity providing an overview and update on the Southampton Renaissance Board.

The Committee received and noted the report of the Cabinet Member for Economic Development providing an overview and update on the Southampton Renaissance Board and the benefits of Southampton City Council’s role on the Board.  The Committee also noted the Terms of Reference for the Board and referred to the section on “Deputations at Meetings” which would need some clarification or review as meetings of the Board are not held in public which did not fit with the criteria of being able to make a deputation.

The Committee further noted that any future updates on changes to the Board structure and its operation would be provided to Governance Committee and Cabinet as required.

NOTE: Councillor Denness declared a non-pecuniary interest and remained in the meeting.
