Welcome to the West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority's Committee Management Information System (CMIS).
On this site you will be able to find out about the various Committees and Councillors who represent you on the Fire Authority. You can also find out how you can contact any member of the Fire Authority, who sits on which Committees, any decisions or declarations that have been made and read agendas and minutes of meetings.
Public participation in WMFRA meetings
All citizens have the right to attend and record public meetings of the authority, and to access copies of reports and minutes (except where exempted under Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972). You can find the times and dates of future meetings under the "Meetings" tab above.
The right of citizens to speak at public meetings of the authority is at the discretion of the chair presiding at the meeting. For more information about citizen's rights, please consult Article 3 of the WMFRA Constitution.
Public Questions
Members of the public can submit a question for consideration by members at an ordinary meeting of the Fire Authority. Such questions must be submitted in writing to the Clerk to the Authority (karen.gowreesunker@wmfs.net) at least seven working days in advance of the meeting at which the question is to be raised. Any question received after that deadline will be deferred to the next meeting of the Authority.
Members of the public must submit their question with their name and address, and questions must relate to matters for which the Authority has responsibility or functions. A citizen may ask one question per meeting. Questions will be answered verbally for a maximum of 20 minutes per meeting, with any outstanding questions address in writing after the meeting.
For more information on public questions, please consult Standing Order 8 within the WMFRA Constitution.
