According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the closed committee allowed councillors to hold bodies like Anglian Water, the Environment Agency and Internal Drainage Boards to account.
Flooding will now sit within the Environment Committee, which already deals with issues such as waste and pollution, and those groups would not automatically be invited.
It will now meet eight times per year instead of four.
New leader Sean Matthews promised the new administration would work “longer and harder on flooding than ever before.”
“Whether you think it’s man-made or a natural cycle of events, we won’t neglect flooding,” he said.
“We were elected on a mandate of reducing waste and simplifying the council, and this will do that.”
