The powers are delegated to this committee by the full Authority and (unless stated otherwise) they are empowered to make final decisions on matters within their remit. Minutes of this committee should be sent to the full Authority at its next meeting, or a subsequent one if that is not possible, for noting. In exceptional circumstances the committee may instead refer issues to the full Authority for a decision.
3. The Resources Committee’s functions are to consider and approve documents and reports as set out below:

5. The number of seats for voting members is 10 drawn from the full Authority. Political balance rules and regulations apply. A member cannot sit on both the Audit, Risk and Governance Committee and the Resources Committee.
6. This committee will only be quorate and therefore constitutionally able to conduct business and make decisions if there are at least four voting members present.

At the point of adjournment, or subsequently, the Chair may agree arrangements for the meeting to be reconvened.
