1. Summary

The following decision is sought:-

1.1 That the Agreement between the County Council and Fareham Borough Council dated 5^th November 1987, constituting a Joint Management Committee for Westbury Manor Museum, Fareham, be amended to reduce the number of representatives of each authority on the Committee from three to two.

2. Reasons

This decision supports Aim 1 of the Corporate Strategy (Maximising Life Opportunities) by ensuring effective governance of a service making a contribution to opportunities for lifelong learning, and promoting awareness of Hampshire's cultural heritage.

3. Other Options Considered and Rejected

If the Agreement is not amended, both authorities would remain subject to a requirement to appoint three representatives. However, since the introduction of Executive Arrangements under the Local Government Act 2000, each authority has chosen to appoint only two. The option of not amending the Agreement has been rejected, therefore, as it no longer reflects modern circumstances.

4. Conflicts of Interest declared by the decision maker or a member or officer consulted

None.

5. Dispensation granted by the Standards Committee.

Not applicable

6. Reasons for matter being dealt with if urgent
