To review the Memorandum of Agreement between Breckland Council and South Holland District Council (report of the Executive Director (Place) is enclosed).

Council considered a report by the Executive Director (Place) which reviewed the Memorandum of Agreement between Breckland Council and South Holland District Council.

Members noted that on 1 April 2011, South Holland District Council and Breckland Council entered into a Memorandum of Agreement. The document set out the purpose and aims of the shared management arrangements and the terms on which the Councils had agreed to operate the arrangements.

The Memorandum of Agreement contained a provision obliging the two councils to conduct a review of the Agreement by the second anniversary of the date that the shared management arrangements became effective. The review was now overdue and a proposed revised Agreement was therefore brought to members for approval.

It was noted that there had been a number of amendments to the Memorandum of Agreement, though many of these were relatively minor.

DECISION:

1.    That the memorandum of agreement attached at Appendix A to the Executive Director (Place)’s report and as amended be approved; and

2.    That the shared management costs / savings at Appendix B to the Executive Director (Place)’s report be noted.
