            DISCUSSION

The report was presented, which provided an update on the process of creating a Constitution for the North Wales Corporate Joint Committee, stating that the CJC must have a comprehensive Constitution in place to carry out its functions. It was noted that this report set out the final key elements to be adopted. Claire Incledon was thanked for the work and for compiling the documentation. Attention was drawn to section 4.3 of the report, namely the table showing the progress made on the Constitution and the matters to be adopted.

Reference was made to the recommendation and the key document in terms of bringing the CJC into operation, namely the Scheme of Delegation which would allow officers to begin making decisions, and the Financial Procedure Rules report which contained the Chief Finance Officer's input.

It was explained that this was a further step in drawing up the Constitution, and should these matters be adopted today it would enable us to move ahead and publish an on-line Constitution for the CJC, which was an important step for the Body's governance and public image.

The officers were thanked for their work.
