Issue - meetings

To receive a briefing on legal advice received from professional advisors.

The Board received a briefing on the current position with regard to contract legal matters.

It was noted a mediated session between the PFI Contractor and the Project Team  was scheduled to take place on Thursday 19 July 2012 and the Board would be provided with an update on any progress made immediately following the session. 

It was stressed any proposals would have to be put before each Council’s Executive for a decision and it would not be possible to reach an agreement with the Contractor straightway and that a six week time lag should be expected before the Board responded to any offers made.

RESOLVED that:

1. The progress made in relation to Recyclate Income Compensation be noted
2. Officers bring back to the Board and individual councils any proposals that they feel is worthy of consideration which arises from the mediation session that has been agreed in relation to this disagreement
