Issue - meetings

(a)       That the Committee note the progress of Service Development within Property Services and Facilities Management; and

(b)       That further reports back be made in due course.

The Chief Executive gave a progress report for Organisational Change 2 which had within its Portfolio Facilities Management; Design and Property Maintenance and Valuation and Estates Services.  He explained that progress with development of the Alternative Delivery Model for Facilities Management continued to make good progress, with the Transition Board formed,  a Risk Register developed and with initial staff consultation events scheduled for the following month.  The ADM for Facilities Management was an independent trading company with a TECKAL exception to trade.  The advantage to this was that the Company which would be wholly owned by the Council would not be confined to work for the Authority, but could seek work in the commercial sector.

Councillor Mike Reece made a reference to the Asset Transfer of Bagillt Library for which the Chief Executive thanked him, indicating that this would be pursued outside the meeting.   Councillor Clive Carver asked for details of the “intelligent client” approach and went on to seek an update on the Council owned St David’s Park offices which were currently leased to Unilever.  The Chief Executive gave an update.

RESOLVED

(a)       That the Committee note the progress of Service Development within Property Services and Facilities Management; and

(b)       That further reports back be made in due course.
