Councillor Patel submitted a report informing the Cabinet of the key messages arising from the District Audit Management Letter for 1999/2000 and the main actions taken or proposed as a result.

It was noted that the overall conclusion of the District Auditor was that the Council continued to perform well.  However, there were areas that needed further work and Councillor Patel had asked officers to report back on how arrangements for partnership working could be improved.  The Chair also asked for the Cabinet's approval to a further report back on the issue of voluntary organisations raised in the letter.

RESOLVED:

(1)that the actions taken by the Chief Executive as a result of the Management Letter, as detailed in the report, be noted and endorsed;

(2)that the Chief Executive submit a further report on the two issues raised in the Management Letter with regard to partnership working and voluntary organisations; and

(3)that the action plan arising from the management letter be referred to Scrutiny Committee to monitor implementation.
