Agenda and minutes

There were no apologies.

There were no declarations of interest.

The minutes of the 15 January meeting were agreed.

The Commission received a security briefing, and will consider a range of options with regard to security on the estate. Commissioners decided to return to the matter at their next meeting on 9 February.

Commissioners considered a report that provided a summary of our key achievements in respect of the corporate targets and that concluded the Carbon Management Strategy. Commissioners welcomed the detail about the significant reductions in carbon emissions which have been delivered through this strategy. The Commission plans to build on this achievement in coming years through the Energy Reduction Route Map they agreed last year. 

Commissioners commended the report and the work that had been done to achieve such success, particularly highlighting the recent award for the Most Sustainable Public Sector Organisation in Government across the UK. They agreed the report should be published on the Commission’s sustainability webpage.

Commissioners considered a paper which set out the draft Corporate Performance Report for the period April - December 2014.

Commissioners explored a number of areas covered in the report, particularly focussing on visits by schools and improvements in staff sickness levels.

Commissioners commented on how useful the report is but further consideration might be given to simplifying it and not having too many targets.

Commissioners reviewed the latest highlight report which gave an update on key activities and projects since June 2014. They agreed to publish the report and make it available to Members.

The Commission reviewed and updated their Action Plan in response to the recommendations contained in the report of the review of Commission effectiveness.

Commissioners noted the Minutes of the 10 November ACARAC meeting, having received an oral update about this meeting in December.

The Commission will next meet on 9 February, when the discussion will focus on engaging with the people of Wales, and Commissioners will return to security issues.
