(Decision notice to follow)

Members received the minutes of the meetings of the Executive Committee held on 2nd and 9th December 2009. A decision notice from the meeting on 6th January 2010 had not been forthcoming as that meeting had been cancelled because of the inclement weather.

Members agreed some rewording was required to accurately reflect a decision taken at the Executive Committee meeting of 9th December in respect of the Opt-in Chargeable Garden Waste Collection item. Members noted that the meeting scheduled for 6^th January, which would normally have dealt with this, had been cancelled, as mentioned above. However the Committee, at its next meeting on 27th January 2010, would settle the issue of accuracy of the minutes.

RESOLVED that

1)         the minutes of the meeting of the Executive Committee held on 2nd December 2009 be received and adopted; and

2)         the minutes of the meeting of the Executive Committee held on 9th December 2009 be received and all recommendations approved, subject to:

in respect of Minute 201 (Opt-inChargeable Garden Waste Collection – Business Case – Amended Version) it being further RESOLVED that Recommendation 7 be amended to read

7)         the Council’s current collection policy relating to garden waste in grey bins be restated to coincide with the start of the new service to discourage through education garden waste being placed in grey bins; and

in respect of Minute 202 (Feckenham Allotments) it being noted that Officers were to provide an update to Councillor Hartnett on the future security of the Council’s grant funding following the meeting.
