Issue - meetings

To consider the report of the Director Finance.

Agreed:

RESOLVED that Executive note the Corporate Risk Register and propose any

necessary actions to help mitigate the risks for which it is responsible.

Reason for Decision: As set out in the report.

The Executive received the quarterly report which advised on the Council’s risk management progress and presented the revised Corporate Risk Register which was linked to the Council’s Strategic Priorities to ensure priorities were properly considered, managed, and monitored.

The risk register had been reviewed by Directors in consultation with their relevant Portfolio Holder and any amendments had been made. The report would also be received at the Audit and Governance Committee meeting later in July.

Opposition group leaders spoke on the item and made the following points:-

·         Cllr Mitchell – enquired on the recommendation seeking clarity on how the Executive would identify actions it would be taking.

During the discussion, a Member highlighted the number of green risks on the register and noted the Council’s successes, which were not reported.

In response to questions raised, the Director Finance advised that the purpose of the recommendation was to allow Members the opportunity to review the register and to request risks to SMB and the Portfolio Holders for consideration.

The Leader moved, and Councillor Wright seconded, the recommendations which were voted upon and CARRIED unanimously.

RESOLVED that Executive note the Corporate Risk Register and propose any

necessary actions to help mitigate the risks for which it is responsible.
