Legal Update
Minutes:
It was noted that Emma Day had carried out a lot of work in an excellent and professional manner. It had been a huge milestone to be able to sign the contract recently after almost three years working on it. It was also confirmed that the signing of the IAA by 5 Local Authorities was also a huge milestone.
It was confirmed that Amey would be an excellent contractor, mobilising 55,000 households with a 95% success rate.
The Lead Officer advised the committee that the IAA allowed, if required, Joint Waste Solutions (JWS) to form a company; this would be mainly to protect the identity and logo of JWS. Investigations into this would be carried out and a detailed report would be brought to this Committee for consideration followed by a Tier One decision at each authority. An option would be to register JWS as a dormant company which would not carry a high cost.
The Chairman commended all the hard work carried out by Emma Day.
Resolved that the verbal update be noted.
