Minutes:
The Full Authority considered a
report from the Monitoring Officer (item 8 in the minute book) that
captured some minor amendments to the Constitution as well as the

sub-committees to ensure attendance and it was agreed that this
would be discussed at a future APAG meeting.
Rob Carr was thanked for his work as the current Chief Financial
Officer and Catherine was welcomed and congratulated in her new
role.
