EXECUTIVE FORWARD PLAN

 

What is the Executive Forward Plan?

 

The Executive Forward Plan is a list of all non-key and key decisions the Authority intends to take during the next four month period.  The Plan is updated weekly, every Monday and is available to view on-line at www.york.gov.uk

 

What is a non-key decision?

 

For the purposes of the Plan, a non-key decision is defined as a ‘decision of normal importance’ which:

 

·                 the Executive can collectively take as set out in Part 3 of the council’s constitution

 

·                 which any Executive Member can take individually in line with the Council’s Scheme of Delegation

 

What is a key decision?

 

A key decision is defined as a decision which is likely:

 

·                 to result in the Council incurring expenditure, or making savings, which are significant having regard to the Council’s budget for the service or function to which the decision relates i.e.:

 

           make a saving of more than 10% of the budget for a particular area  - or be more than £500,000

           require spending that is more than 10% of the budget for a particular area - or be more than £500,00

 

·                 to be significant in terms of its effects on communities

 

Such ‘key decisions’ can only be taken by the Executive, unless they have been specifically delegated to an Executive Member or Officer, or unless the Leader or Chief Executive is exercising their urgency powers.

 

 

 

What information does the Forward Plan contain?

 

In relation to each issue entered on the Forward Plan, there are details of:

·        the date on which or time period within which the decision will be taken;

·        the wards affected;

·        how to make representations on the issue in hand; and

·        what the consultation will be taking place, where applicable.

 

If I have a query about an entry on the Forward Plan, who do I contact?

 

Wherever possible, full contact details are listed in the individual entries in the Forward Plan.  If you are unsure how to make contact or have any general enquiries about the Forward Plan, please ring Democratic Services on Tel No. 01904 551031

Description:

 

Purpose of Report: The report will provide an update on progress of the proposed security measures (Hostile Vehicle Measures) scheme. The proposed scheme is being tendered and prices should be returned by the time of the meeting, it will detail any cost pressures since the last forecast and give more certainty on cost.

The report will provide an update on the scheme including the procurement process. The report will inform Members about the programme of work and what can be achieved in the months ahead.

Given that Christmas 2022 is approaching, the project team will confirm the contractors assessment of what is deliverable and what temporary arrangements will be needed.

The report will ask Members to note progress on the scheme and give delegated authority for the Director of Environment, Transport and Planning to accept the winning tender in order to make an award to the contractor to commence work in line with the anticipated programme.

This item has been deferred to 18 August 2022 the reason for this is as stated: The contractors tendering for the work have requested more time to enable them to submit prices therefore the report has been delayed to accommodate this request.

Level of Risk:

 

 

Reason Key:

A decision which is likely to result in the Council incurring expenditure, or making savings which are significant having regard to the Council's budget for the service or function to which the decision relates.  The savings or expenditure are significant if they are equal to or greater than £500,000 or equal to or greater than £100,000 where the savings or expenditure exceeds 10% of the budget for the service plan area whichever is the less.  Expenditure in excess of these levels will not constitute a key decision if such expenditure is made as part of the implementation of a decision which itself was a key decision e.g. the award of a contract.

 

Making Representations:

The general public, key stakeholders and statutory consultees – all reported previously.
