Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

The Cabinet Member for Corporate Management introduced the report to recommend a new Outcome Agreement for 2013-16.  He provided background information and referred to the key considerations in the report.

                        The Chief Executive advised that the choice of 5 of the strategic themes from the Welsh Government’s Programme for Government had been made carefully to ensure:

• Close ‘fit’ with priorities within the Improvement Plan
• Strong evidence base to support the Council’s actions
• A reasonable level of confidence in meeting the Council’s outcomes to secure the grant

                        Appended to the report was the draft of the 5 themes.  The final drafts had been shared with the Welsh Government as part of the negotiation process.  Positive feedback had been received informally and it was anticipated that the Minister for Local Government and Government Business would agree the draft Outcome Agreement without further question. 

RESOLVED:

That the Outcome Agreement for 2013-16 be approved.
