ER154/16 Declaration of Members’ Interests. There were no declarations of Members Interests. Open for Decision. ER155/16 Deputations. There were no deputations. ER156/16 Chairperson’s Business. With the permission of the Chairperson a Member of the Sinn Fein grouping referred to the community planning meetings held throughout the City the previous week the main purpose of which was to elect an interim Chairperson for each of the groups. He expressed Page 15 concern at proceedings in the Pilot’s Row Centre where serious fabrications had been made by Independent Members. Council employees and elected representatives had also been verbally abused which would be reflected in the minutes relating to that meeting. He expressed further concern at the disgraceful treatment of an elderly lady who was a prominent community figure who was in attendance at that meeting. He stated that this behaviour was totally unacceptable and referred to the need for an apology to be issued by the individual responsible. He made reference to the significance of community planning particularly in terms of local community development. The Member stated that at one of the community planning meetings an Independent Member of Council advised one individual to withdraw their nomination for the position of interim Chairperson. An Independent Member of Council who was a non-Member of the Committee disassociated himself from the disgraceful conduct which had taken place at the community planning meetings the previous week. An Independent Member of Council stated that he had attended two of the community planning meetings in Foyleside and Ballyarnett but had not witnessed any unacceptable conduct. He stated however, that at the Ballyarnett meeting, given the general discord, he had proposed that a different approach be adopted and nominations be sought for the positions of Chairperson and Vice Chairperson. However, this proposal was rejected which may have contributed to the atmosphere which had then prevailed throughout the day, A Member of the SDLP groupings referred to the three meetings which he had attended in the rural area which were a model of good practice. He stated that in terms of the election of the Chairperson a democratic process had been exercised. He totally opposed the appalling conduct at meetings throughout the City. He referred to the need to defend and protect the human rights of all concerned and ensure that the process was fair. A Member of the UUP grouping referred to concerns which had arisen regarding the community planning process. He stated that the process provided a tremendous opportunity for elected Members to move forward and any obstacles which would prevent this process must be condemned outrightly. He stated that the impetus in his electoral area Page 16 was for progress in terms of community planning and anticipated that in due course other areas would follow suit. The Chairperson concurred with the comments made by the Sinn Fein Member and said it was unfortunate that not all community planning meetings had emulated those in the rural area. With the permission of the Chairperson a Member of the UUP grouping referred to concerns which had arisen as a result of an Assembly question regarding the cost incurred by local government in terms of the enactment of RPA. He suggested that a Meeting be arranged between the Chief Executive and Senior Management Team and elected representatives to discuss issues arising therefrom. ER157/16 Confirmation of the Open Minutes of the Environment and Regeneration Committee held on Wednesday 15 June 2016. Minutes of Environment and Regeneration Meeting held on 15 June 2016 (ER128/16-ER144/16) were confirmed and signed by the Chairperson as correct. ER158/16 Matters Arising. There were no matters arising.
