Decision as recorded
RESOLVED that the Terms of Reference be approved.
The Board considered the revised terms of reference. It was agreed that paragraph 4.10 would be amended to say that “All participants will be able to contribute to meetings in either English or Welsh.” Covering emails sharing the agenda for meetings will ask whether members wish to contribute in Welsh, until the constraints of technology are overcome and automatic provision of translation can be guaranteed. It was further agreed that the reference to the Wales Community Rehabilitation Company should be replaced with HM Prison and Probation Service. Subject to these amendments it was RESOLVED that the Terms of Reference be approved.
Decision as recorded
RESOLVED that the Performance Plan be approved for publication.
The Board received the 4th Annual Performance Plan which set out progress towards delivering the objectives in Towards 2040 Our Well-being Plan. It was suggested and agreed that an easy read version would be produced. The Board was advised that the Tourism Strategy was now included in the Mid Wales Growth Deal. A tourism survey jointly commissioned with Ceredigion County Council had just been undertaken for Mid Wales and the results would be shared with the Board. RESOLVED that the Performance Plan be approved for publication.
The Board was reminded about the virtual workshop being held on 2 August. The aim of the session was to look at the well-being objectives and using insights from the well-being assessment, reflect on what the PSB could achieve for people in Powys in the next 5 years. By the end of the session there would be an agreed set of draft objectives that could be consulted on. The consultation period would run to mid-November and then the plan would be finalised in the New Year. It was noted that the Future Generation Commissioner’s Office was already seeking objectives from PSBs. A number had already submitted their objectives and they would be reviewed to see the approach being taken by others.
The Board received the County Council’s Annual Self-Assessment report, which was the first in Wales to have been published. The Council would welcome any feedback from partners. It would be subject to assessment by an external panel being established by the WLGA.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
