That is the possibility of inviting the Land Development Agency, LDA, before the committee. It is covered under category 7. It has been discussed already and it was agreed to put it in the work programme as Land Development Agency briefing, LDA and Department.

Under No. 10, the committee is asked to consider the practice of inviting a number of city and county council chief executives to come before it to discuss local government issues, as was the practice of the previous committee. No. 15 concerns local government funding and other issues, and includes the County and City Management Association, CCMA, and the Department. No. 18, which we will discuss later, relates to local government staffing levels in the areas of climate action, biodiversity and heritage. We may need to split that category because there are quite a few issues pertaining to local government that need to be discussed, for example, general funding. No. 16 is a presentation by the Local Government Management Agency, LGMA. Is the committee satisfied with the categories?
