He and the Director indicated that they proposed that the committee follow the same pattern as in previous municipal years, and consider one of the topics at alternate meetings, this had proved very successful way of working for both members and officers in the past two years. Kate Phillips and David Bawden then gave committee a brief verbal overview and update on the two topic areas and gave information and made comments relating to them both and indicated that more detailed presentations, information, statistics and updates would be provided to committee members at future meetings.
