2. To authorise the Director of Community and Environmental Services to form a Project Board, including representation from ENVECO and also to form a corporate multi-disciplinary project team to focus on exploring the scope and potential benefits, including TUPE and Financial implications of ENVECO delivering a wider range of waste related services, with the Waste Policy and Partnerships Manager taking a project lead role.
