OFFICER STEERING GROUP
Key purpose of the Officer Steering Group (OSG)
The OSG deals with operational matters, and in particular supports the AONB manager in the management of the Project and team. It supports the development of the business plan/work programme and suggests agenda items for the JAC and Partnership meetings.
What is expected of OSG members?
To provide support for the AONB manager in terms of:
• Setting a budget for approval at JAC meeting.
• Providing management support for AONB manager (line management remains with the host authority).
• Develop and scrutinise the business plan and work programme of the Project team.
Membership
One officer from each of the funding organisations plus the AONB Manager
TOTAL = 9
Frequency and timing of meetings
Usually twice per year around one month before the JAC and Partnership meetings. Timing to be flexible according to business. To fit into the budget cycles of the local authorities likely to be early autumn for early planning and deciding on future year, then early spring for indication of year’s work and confirmation for future year.
Chairing
To be chaired by one of the officers (except for the AONB Manager) with the next to be selected at the spring 2011 meeting. Each chair will stand for 2 years, with the next one elected by expression of willingness, but ensuring that all authorities take a turn. The current Chair is Adam John from Colchester Borough Council.
Voting
The group will operate largely on a consensus basis. If any item comes to a vote in an OSG meeting, there is one member one vote system in operation.
