2.2 REPLACEMENT OF COUNCILLOR ON MUNICIPAL PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE (MPAC) (3/2/2) (Page 68) COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS: That the request by the Democratic Alliance, in terms of the letter by its Caucus Whip, Councillor S Hoosen, dated 2016-01-14, to change its membership and replace Councillor AR Mitchell by Councillor TP Collins on the Municipal Public Accounts Committee, be approved. ADOPTED. 2.3 RETIREMENT FUND RESTRUCTURING IN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT SECTOR (4/5/1/4) (Page 75) Given the sensitivity surrounding the proposed retirement fund restructuring in the Local Government Sector, the importance of assessing all implications associated therewith was stressed. As such a month was to be set aside to obtain relevant stakeholder input on this matter. Therefore, COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS: 2.3.1 That the Council’s view on the proposed Retirement Fund Restructuring in the Local Government Sector, be canvassed. 2.3.2 That should the Council be against the proposals then it should join other Local Authorities that would also be affected by collectively opposing the proposals on the Retirement Fund Restructuring in the Local Government Sector. ADOPTED. 2.4 INTEGRATION OF AND RISK COMMITTEES (3/2/1) (Page 117) Authority is sought to integrate Audit and Risk Committee following an overlap consistently identified in roles and responsibilities. It should be noted that these Committees were previously integrated but subsequently separated to provide for a dedicated capacity to focus solely on enterprise risk management issues. The reintegration is proposed taking into account competency levels possessed by both the current membership of the Audit and the Risk Committee. Most importantly, the opportunity to address audit and risk matters in a synergistic approach and avoid duplication of resources, amongst other things, whilst also achieving good turnaround time in decision-making and implementation process. The integration will result in a need to extend the term of office of the Risk Committee members which is due to expire in March 2016, to provide for alignment
