Decision Maker: Assistant Director of Property Estates and Assets
Decision published: 30/11/2022
Effective from: 20/11/2022
Decision:
To agree to the appointment of Bloom
Demolition & Excavation to carry out demolition works at North
Wingfield and Mickley
Lead officer: Damien Johnson
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Made at meeting: 24/11/2022 - Cabinet
Decision published: 25/11/2022
Effective from: 24/11/2022
Decision:
RESOLVED
(1) That Cabinet approved the use of the Resilience Reserve to fund the shortfall in budget.
(2) That Cabinet approved any subsequent under spend on the General Fund in respect of 2022/23 be transferred to the Resilience Reserve to “pay back” the contribution made this year and increase financial resilience for future years.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL
(3) That the budget in respect of the General Fund as set out in Appendix 1 of this report be approved as the Current Budget for 2022/23.
(4) That the budget in respect of the HRA as set out in Appendix 3 of this report be approved as the Current Budget for 2022/23.
(5) That the Capital Programme as set out in Appendix 4 of this report be approved as the Current Budget for 2022/23.
REASONS FOR DECISION – To prepare revised budgets as early as possible within the financial year to provide sufficient time to allow any planned changes to be delivered. The Council has faced financial challenges this year putting pressure on the ability to set a balanced General Fund budget but careful budget management, use of reserves ring fenced for providing resilience when needed, and the ongoing progression of the transformation agenda has mitigated this.
OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED – There were no alternative options being considered at this time. How resources are utilised is ultimately a decision Members which will take as part of the 2023/24 Medium Term Financial Planning process.
This is a Key Decision. The call-in period for the two resolutions made by Cabinet will run until Monday 5 December 2022.
Lead officer: Director of Finance and Resources, Section 151 Officer
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Made at meeting: 24/11/2022 - Cabinet
Decision published: 25/11/2022
Effective from: 24/11/2022
Lead officer: Director of Finance and Resources, Section 151 Officer
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Made at meeting: 24/11/2022 - Cabinet
Decision published: 25/11/2022
Effective from: 24/11/2022
Decision:
RESOLVED
(1) To develop a Community Outreach Service for residents of North East Derbyshire District Council.
(2) To create two Community Outreach Worker posts, as 2 year fixed term contracts at Grade 7. Should recruitment be unsuccessful, then one or both posts may be delivered by an external provider via contract. Posts to be fully funded by the Better Care Fund (BCF) allocation.
REASONS FOR DECISION – To provide a response to the national cost of living crisis which is within the remit of Local Authority functions, to make use of available funding to deliver positive outcomes against shared housing and public health priorities, and to complement existing Local Authority services and provide a wider range of interventions, additional to signposting alone.
OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED – Whilst to do nothing is clearly an option, the reason for rejection is that there is an existing service to build upon, with available funding to support a temporary service provision. The establishment of a service with permanent funding has been rejected due to the growth in establishment costs and the revenue implications.
Please note that this is not a Key Decision so can be implemented by Officers with immediate effect.
