Committee details

Finance and Governance Committee

Purpose of committee

This committee consists of 10 councillors and it meets every two months on alternate months to the full council. 

 

The committee is responsible for the overall management and control of the finances of the council (under the direction of the full council) including procurement, audit, asset management, information and data protection  and the use of technological resources. It advises the council on matters of governance and policies which are not specifically allocated to other standing committees. The committee also deals with civic functions including administration of the office of the chair.

 

The committee also has delegated powers to respond to planning matters which fall outside the timetable of the Planning and Environment Committee meeting schedule.

 

Full details of the committee’s terms of reference can be found in the Council’s Committee Structure and Scheme of Delegations Document.

 

All committee meetings are  held in public and we welcome observers.  Meetings usually start at 7.30 pm and are held at Newton Leys Pavilion, Furzey Way.
