Issue - meetings

That the Committee considered the mid-year Council Plan 2018/19 Monitoring Report to monitor under performance and raised a number of issues with Officers.

The Chief Officer (Housing and Assets) introduced the report to present the monitoring of progress at the mid-year point of 2018/19 for the Council Plan priority ‘Connected Council’ relevant to the Committee.  He advised that the mid-year report showed that 88% of activities were making good progress with 81% likely to achieve their planned outcomes.  79% of performance indicators had met or exceeded their targets.  Risks were being managed with a minority of 18% being assessed as major.

Councillor Patrick Heesom queried the performance indicator concerning limitations on public funding to subsidise alternative models (ADMs).  The Chief Officer (Social Services) referred to the positive feedback from review meetings on the first year trading figures for ADMs, however, he said the challenges to public funding remained and this was the reason for the current risk rating.   The Chief Officer (Housing and Assets) advised that the business plans for ADMs were reviewed regularly.

Councillor Patrick Heesom asked that a meeting be arranged to discuss the funding available for the transfer of assets within the Growth Bid.

RESOLVED:

That the Committee considered the mid-year Council Plan 2018/19 Monitoring Report to monitor under performance and raised a number of issues with Officers.
