The policy brief which now goes to all councillors helps to raise awareness of EMC. 4c.6 Cllr Jon Collins stated that moving forward there is a need to look at the following: . EMC website needs to be more user friendly. Implementation plan on how to take forward the work programme. More seminars and member development sessions to be offered. Member-led – responding to the priorities of its membership. Involving its membership in the policy review work. More member focused organisation. 4c.7 The conclusions and recommendations of the EMC review will be presented at the full EMC meeting on 7th February 2014. The 2014-15 Business Plan should provide the basis of an ‘Implementation Plan’ to be considered and agreed by Executive Board at its meeting in March 2014. SY 4c.8 Cllr Jon Collins tabled a paper from Leicestershire County Council in relation to the pension liabilities. Leicestershire County Council have written to treasurers of 9Cs authorities suggesting the establishment of a pension ‘sub-fund’ within the wider Leicestershire Pension Fund and that pension liabilities would remain with Leicestershire County Council but this liability if jointly covered by other upper-tier councils. 4c.9 Cllr Jon Collins requested that Leicestershire County Council confirm arrangements and asked that liaison is directly through to Leicestershire County Council. 4c.10 Resolution: Members of the Executive Board: .

Welfare Reform 5.1 Allen Graham, Chief Executive Rushcliffe Borough Council, updated Members on this issue and informed members of the key headlines: . There is evidence for a rise in social housing rent arrears and a decline in council tax collection rates – but measures such as the ‘benefit cap’ have had little impact on the East Midlands to date; . The impact of the changes is not even – so far the larger urban areas and coastal towns have faced the most challenges; . Councils need greater local freedom and flexibility to address the under- 5 Item 3 ACTION supply of affordable housing – particularly for smaller properties and one bedroom
