Decision details

46.1     The Committee considered a report by the Director of Law and Assurance (copy appended to the signed minutes) which proposed that a joint committee be established with Mid Sussex District Council to implement joint work on recycling projects.

46.2     The report was introduced by the Director of Law and Assurance, who advised that discussions were underway with a number of councils, and Mid Sussex District Council had come forward with a proposal for a project which meant that joint arrangements need to be in place as soon as possible. Other arrangements could be agreed with other councils at a later date. He clarified that the Cabinet Member for Environment would make an executive decision to delegate the relevant executive authority.

46.3     The Committee was supportive of the proposed arrangements and hoped that discussions with other councils would also be taken forward in due course.

46.4     Resolved – That the Director of Law and Assurance be authorised to prepare a constitution and terms of reference for a joint executive committee between the County Council and one or more district and borough councils for use in connections with inter authority partnership work on recycling projects for submission to the County Council for approval.
