Purpose of committee
Authority Meetings are the only occasion where the Authority (all 18 Elected Members) meets as one group to discuss issues and approve actions. The Authority has legal responsibility for making decisions about all matters therefore anything that needs to be decided can be approved in an Authority Meeting. The Authority has delegated a range of decision-making powers to Committees and highly trained Officers in order to maintain a safe and effective fire service to the communities of Merseyside and beyond.
