Decision details

Following the appointment of the new Chair the Performance Committee revisited the Terms of Reference and noted them. 

In the past both the Chair and Kathryn have met with the various LEP Sub Committee Chairs to identify any risks.  The Committee agreed that this be done again. Both Kathryn and Liam will follow this up.

It was noted that currently it is hard to obtain a quick and easy view of the KPI'S. The Committee agreed that both Liam and Kathryn will look at using a RAG rating to ensure that you can obtain an overall view quickly.

The Committee recognised that Peter Rankin had not stood for re-election in May and it would therefore be necessary for the Lancashire Leaders to nominate a replacement Member to the LEP Performance Committee and that the District Leaders will need to nominate someone to replace Councillor Mullineaux on the LEP Board. Andy Milroy (Senior Democratic Services Officer) informed the Committee that he had contacted Lancashire Leaders and the District Leaders for a nominee.

The Committee requested an update on the LEP Board vacancies. Martin Kelly (Director of Economic Development) confirmed that recruitment for all three vacancies will begin this week.

Resolved:

i)  The Committee noted the Terms of Reference

ii)  The Committee considered and reviewed its key areas of activity.

iii)  That both Kathryn and Liam meet with various other LEP Sub committee chairs to identify any risks,

iv)  That both Kathryn and Liam explore using the RAG rating to show a quick overview of KPI's,

v)  That the recruitment for the three new LEP directors go out this week
