Decision:

RESOLVED that the current position for each performance measure as at Quarter Four (January – March 2020) be noted.

Minutes:

The Cabinet gave consideration to a report of the Corporate Finance and Governance Portfolio Holder (A.3) which presented it with the deliverables and measurable outcomes for the Cabinet’s agreed Priorities and Projects 2019/20, as well as reporting the outturn position as at Quarter Four (January – March 2020).

 

Members recalled that the Performance Reports (Resources & Services and Community Leadership) set out the detailed actions and targets for the delivery of the Council’s priorities throughout the year by including both the Council’s emerging Corporate Plan 2020/24 and Priorities and Projects for 2019/20.

 

In respect of the Quarter 4 position (as reported in the Resources and Services Performance Report) Members were informed that of the 21 indicators and projects where performance was measured, 10 (48%) were on, or above, their expected target, 8 indicators (38%) were not currently in line with expected performance, 1 indicator had no data available (5%). It was also be noted that two of the projects had been impacted by the current COVID-19 public health emergency.

 

The indicators and projects highlighted in the Community Leadership Performance Report were deemed ‘non measurable’ as the Council’s role was that of ‘influence’ only.

 

Furthermore, the Leader of the Council, in response to a recommendation from the Resources and Services Overview & Scrutiny Committee, had agreed on behalf of the Cabinet, that the Manningtree Underpass project would now be reported to the Community Leadership Overview & Scrutiny Committee only, as Tendring’s role in this project was that of ‘influence only’.

 

It was anticipated that the usual annual review of the Council’s performance management arrangements would include a fundamental review, which would seek to adapt arrangements to ensure that relevant data was gathered and presented in a timely way, to the appropriate audience, in order to drive delivery of service improvement and achievement of the Corporate Plan.
