REASONS FOR THE DECISION
In order to seek
clarity regarding specific matters raised prior to placing the Business
Delivery Board on a formal foundation as part of the project's development
structure.
DISCUSSION
A verbal report
was presented by Sasha Davies regarding a meeting of the Business Delivery
Board held the previous day where the need for clarity about some matters, i.e.
the accountability of the Chair of the Business Delivery Board, the need to
simplify the proposed role and responsibilities of the Board, concern that
there were increasing demands on businesses to take part in similar
arrangements and some financial matters, such as financial remuneration
arrangements for the Board Chairman, had been emphasised. Ashley Rogers
accepted that the role of the North Wales Mersey Dee Business Council, and what
was expected of them, also needed to be identified and defined, and he noted
that he had suggestions regarding how to address this.
