Report to follow.

Resolved:

                      i.         Approved the pipeline of projects which reflects the priorities for York and tasked officers to work with York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority to implement.

Reason:    To enable officers to seek to progress funding bids based on the pipeline of projects as funding streams from York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, noting funding business cases will still require Executive Member or Executive approval, dependent on the key decision threshold.

Officers outlined that the report contained a pipeline of project proposals to be submitted to the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority that could achieve funding for delivery. They confirmed that all of the Council’s scrutiny committees had feed into the proposals and thanked the Executive Leader for allowing for the publication of the report after the agenda, to allow the final considerations of the Council’s scrutiny committees to be feed into the pipeline of projects. They confirmed that from here on if agreed the pipeline would not be a static document, new opportunities could be considered with the Combined Authority when they arose.

The Executive Leader welcomed the cross-party input to the pipeline of projects. She confirmed that York had a fantastic opportunity with a new Mayor of the combined authority whose priorities aligned with that of the Council. She noted that once agreed the Council would then seek to prioritise which projects to work up and when to prepare viable business cases to seek funding to deliver.
