To enable Cabinet to give consideration to a comment made to it by the Corporate Management Committee in respect of the above.

That the full range of existing indicators should remain in the Performance Report for the benefit of Cabinet and that the Corporate Management Committee can choose not to scrutinise the indicators it has highlighted if they so wish.

Cabinet was informed that, at the meeting of the Corporate Management Committee held on 25 September 2017, the Committee had received a report from the Corporate Director, Corporate Services regarding the Council’s Quarter 1 Performance (April 2017 to June 2017).

It was explained to Members at that meeting that the report included 15 indicators and projects where performance was measured. Of those 11 (73%) were on, or above, their expected target and 4 (27%) were not currently in line with expected performance. Three of the indicators and projects within the report were deemed non-measurable as the Council’s role was that of ‘influence’ only.

The Corporate Management Committee had decided to comment to Cabinet that –         

(a)          the Committee notes the Council’s performance report for the period April to June 2017; and

(b)          the Education, Health and Wellbeing and Sickness indicators be removed from the Performance Report for the Corporate Management Committee due to the fact that those items were reported to the Human Resources Committee and the Community Leadership and Partnerships Committee.

The Cabinet had before it the following response of the Finance and Corporate Services Portfolio Holder made in response to the comments of the Corporate Management Committee:

“The Portfolio Holder thanks Corporate Management Committee for their suggestion.”

Having considered the comments of the Corporate Management Committee and the response thereto of the Financial and Corporate Services Portfolio Holder:

It was moved by Councillor G V Guglielmi, seconded by Councillor Stock and:

RESOLVED that the full range of existing indicators should remain in the Performance Report for the benefit of Cabinet and that the Corporate Management Committee can choose not to scrutinise the indicators it has highlighted if they so wish.
