The Director of Resources submitted a report which sought approval of proposed governance changes at West Yorkshire Joint Services (WYJS) together with changes to the underpinning legal agreement. Specifically, the report highlighted how the WYJS Joint Committee was recommending a slimmed down model of governance which would deliver the statutory functions of the five Councils, whilst at the same time minimising bureaucracy and increasing accountability and visibility of the services provided.
The Board highlighted that the review which had been undertaken together with the proposals within the report were timely and welcomed. Members also extended thanks to the Leeds City Council representatives upon the West Yorkshire Joint Services Committee for the work they undertook in carrying out those roles.
RESOLVED – That the refreshed Joint Agreement, as presented at Appendix A to the submitted report, and the Addendum, as presented at Appendix B, be approved.
