Minutes:
The Chair invited Sarah Pickup to introduce the report.
Sarah said that the paper was the result of discussions both at Resources Board and the Executive Advisory Board on how councils were funded. A Joint meeting between Resources, City Regions and People & Places Board Lead Members had taken place in February at which it had been agreed that all the LGA’s research on financial decentralisation and fiscal devolution should be brought together in this report.
There followed a confidential discussion on the contents of the report.
Decision
Board members noted the report and agreed the next steps set out in paragraph 14.1 and in the Chair’s summing up statement.
