Business for item 39
RESOLVED:

That the Statement of Decisions and Proposed Modifications for the Replacement Local Plan be approved by Council for adoption for the purposes of the consultation.

Further, the Council would wish to make a matter of public record that, in ratifying the decision of Cabinet, it is enabling its community to engage in a fourth round of consultation; an opportunity which it hopes will be seized upon by interested parties to make vigorous and well founded cases for further modification.

The Council would wish to re-iterate that this does not mark a final position for the Council but will allow for Groups such as GAG5, to work with the Council in seeking to produce a Local Plan which will serve the best interests of the demands of environmental concerns and community needs for the whole of the Borough of Gedling."

Business for item 40
RESOLVED:

That the Council waive Contract Standing Orders in respect of the process of acquisition of the integrated Financial, Payroll and Personnel Solutions, or any of them individually, in order to acquire the most appropriate replacement systems. This will allow Officers to research and negotiate in the first instance with Northgate. If this course of action was not successful then Officers would proceed to negotiate with other Suppliers for the provision of Systems either from the same or separate Suppliers.
The meeting closed at 7.55 pm.
