Decision details

Councillor Tod introduced the report noting the progress against council priorities but that it referenced a period ending some months prior. 

At the invitation of the Leader, Councillor Horrill addressed the meeting as summarised briefly below.

As Chair of the Performance Panel, provided an overview of the Panel’s work and the process undertaken in reviewing the performance monitoring reports. 

The Strategic Director & Monitoring Officer explained the reasons for the timing of the report to Cabinet and agreed to examine if it would be possible to reduce the time between the relevant period and date of report, accepting the constraints of the pre-election period.

Councillor Tod drew members’ attention to the two recommendations from the Performance Panel which had been endorsed by the Scrutiny Committee for further consideration.  These related to request for end of project reports to be continued to be considered by the Performance Panel  and that a review be undertaken of the key performance indicators.  Cabinet also agreed that future performance monitoring reports include the minutes from the relevant Scrutiny Committee, in addition to the minutes of the Performance Panel.

Cabinet agreed the following for the reasons set out above and outlined in the report.

RESOLVED:

1.            That the progress achieved during Q3 of 2021/22 be noted the contents of the report CAB3339 be endorsed.

2.            That the recommendations of the Performance Panel (as contained as appendix 6 to CAB3339) as endorsed by the Scrutiny Committee held 3 March 2022, regarding the continuation of receipt of “end of project reports” and a review of the key performance indicators be supported.
