Corporate objectives
The proposals for major development at North and East Hemel Hempstead through the Hemel Garden Communities proposals are wide-ranging and relate to all corporate objectives.
Monitoring Officer
The MOU is not a legally binding document but it does set out the key objectives for the programme which will need to be kept under continuous review as the programme develops.
The proposed governance structure appears suitable to ensure that the programme is progressed and monitored and meets the stated objectives.
Deputy S.151 Officer
The constitutional and governance requirements of the Parties remain unchanged by this MOU. DBC will still be required to seek financial approvals, if requested, in line with the DBC constitution and financial regulations.
Advice
J Doe said that there had been 2 Board meetings and that a third was taking place on 11th March.
Councillor Williams added that LEP were part of the Board but were not signatories. He said that they had recently received a letter from them in support of the Memorandum of Understanding.
The Memorandum of Understanding was agreed.
