AUDIT AND SCRUTINY COMMITTEE
A special meeting of the Audit and Scrutiny Committee will be held in the Council Chamber, Council Headquarters, Eastwood Park, Giffnock, on
Friday, 11 January 2019 at 2.00 pm.
Background -
On 6 December 2018 the Cabinet considered a report by the Director of Environment seeking approval to transfer ownership of the Woodfarm Educational Centre from the Council to the Woodfarm Educational Trust.
On Monday, 10 December, a notice calling-in the Cabinet’s decision was submitted.
The notice was signed by Councillors Gilbert, Miller, McLean, Swift and Wallace, with Councillor Wallace being the lead signatory.
The call-in notice listed a single reason for the call-in of the Cabinet’s decision, this being that it does not represent Best Value.
The alternative proposal to that agreed by the Cabinet listed on the call-in notice was that existing arrangements be retained.
In terms of the procedures for the consideration of a decision that has been
called-in, Councillor Buchanan as the relevant Convener; Councillor
Wallace as the lead signatory to the call-in; and relevant officers from the Environment Department, have been invited to attend the meeting to speak to the report, the Cabinet’s decision and the call-in notice
