Issue - meetings

To approve as a correct record the minutes of the Joint Waste Disposal Board held on 21 April 2017.

RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting of the Joint Waste Disposal Board held on the 21 April 2017 be approved as a correct record and signed by the Chairman.

Arising on the minutes it was noted:

Minute 31 – The Chair raised concerns with the Joint Mineral and Waste plan for Central and Eastern Berkshire as the principal focus for re3 was on waste rather than minerals. It was also raised that the Grundons Lakeside Energy from Waste facility, though geographically outside of the re3 plan area was very important and that the Board needed to keep an eye on the progress on the plan.

Minute 32 – Councillor Iain McCracken refreshed the new Members of the Board on the residents ID card which was an Ecard held by Bracknell Residents. This could be used for a number of functions such as for library and leisure centre access and would be a good solution for  residents to use to access the recycling centres as the card displayed the residents picture therefore would be a good idea to pursue. Wokingham Borough Council were pursuing a number of smart methods as part of there 21^st Century Technology project and Reading Borough Council were also currently looking into different smart methods. They had looked at the Bracknell Forest Ecard but felt it was too costly and needed to find best value for money. Councillor McCracken would feed this back to his Director.

The word “considers” in the resolution at ii would be amended to “agreed”

Minute 36 – Grace Bradbrook had joined re3 as the Principal Finance Officer. Grace was a qualified accountant who had previously worked for Reading Borough Council. The post had been advertised nationally on Jobsgopublic.
