CABINET FORWARD PLAN

 

What is the Cabinet Forward Plan?

 

The Cabinet 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 monthly on or around the 14th of each month 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 Cabinet can collectively take as set out in Part 3 of the council’s constitution

 

·                 which any Cabinet 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

 

In addition to elected Councillors, chief officers can also take key decisions in line with the Officers Delegation Scheme as set out in Schedule 3, Part 3 of the Council’s Constitution

 

 

 

What information does the Forward Plan contain?

 

Each issue entered in the Forward Plan lists:

 

·                 The history of the issue in relation to the Forward Plan

·                 What consultation will be undertaken prior to a decision being made

·                 The name and contact details of the chief officer responsible for the issue and the forthcoming report

·                 The date of the meeting at which a decision is due to be taken

·                 The wards which will be affected by any decision taken

 

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

A team of partners working across the York came together to help develop our new Children and Young People’s Plan. Together we:
• Listened to what children and young people across the city told us about their lives and living in York.
• Developed a ‘children’s rights’ co-production toolkit. We tested this with young people to help raise awareness of children’s rights and understand what our priorities should be.
• Reviewed existing strategic plans across the city.
• Reviewed what data and intelligence tell us about living and growing up in York

We are committed that children and young people must have a voice, are heard and are listened to.

In developing our Children and Young People’s Plan we drew together key messages from children and young people through lots of different forums.

Construction Skills and Retrofit

Description:

 

Purpose of the Report:
To outline the need for a new Construction Skills Initiative (CSI York) to support the development of local employment opportunities resulting from key housing and employment sites in the Local Plan and from the work needed to retrofit domestic and commercial properties across the city if York is to meet our carbon reduction targets.

To set out two projects responding to these two drivers, which Executive have already agreed in October 2023 to support through UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). These represent a short term pilot with potential for delivery across the York and North Yorkshire region. In future, they might then be supported by the Mayoral Combined Authority through future UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and gainshare. These two projects aim to increase the local supply of appropriately skilled and qualified employees and businesses that respond to growth in demand.

Funding of £3.37m has recently been awarded by Innovate UK for a project to develop a Retrofit One Stop Shop for York (ROSSY), with City of York Council as lead partner and delivery for 21 months from February 2024. This project is predominantly designed to develop demand for domestic retrofit, complementing the supply-side measures in CSI York. The two initiatives will work together to address our climate change and economic challenges, and the report recommends delegations from Executive to the Corporate Director of Place to enable swift implementation.

The Executive will be asked to:
• Endorse the York Construction Skills Initiative.
• Note the progress made on developing a Construction Skills hub.
• Note the successful application to Innovate UK for the Retrofit One Shop York project and delegate further decisions on implementation to the Corporate Director of Place.

New service commences 1st April 2024 30th September 2024

The Reablement Service is funded by the Better Care Fund and has contributions from both the Council and the ICB. Additional stakeholder engagement has been completed via workshops and multi-agency meetings and this has enabled the specification to be finalised whilst all partners made the necessary contribution to the service specification.

The All-Age Commissioning team currently have two contracts for Rapid Response Services from two different providers and they are both not providing value for money and have different terms and conditions. Seeking approval to combine both Rapid Response services into one contract to simplify complex Reablement and Rapid Response pathways. Furthermore, this option provides an opportunity to secure significant benefits in terms of, obtaining better value for money,
complying with The Council Procedure rules and reduces potential challenge from providers within the market.

The Executive will be asked to approve the continuation of the re-commission of York Reablement Services, with a 6-month extension period to the previous timescales shared. Enabling the contract to complete the tender process, contract award and mobilisation with a new service in place for the 30 September 2024.

Approve the approach to combine both Rapid Response services and contracts into one, as part of the Reablement Service. Tendering both the Reablement and Rapid Response services as one opportunity to the market via a tendering process.

The Council aims to give the same 28 days’ clear notice of non-key decisions as it does for key decisions, but in exceptional circumstances this may not be possible. It has not been possible to give 28 clear days’ notice of the intention to make this decision because the option to combine both Rapid Response services into one service, one contract and one tendering process is a recent development opportunity. This approach provides significant benefits in terms of achieving value for money, consistency of terms and conditions and ensures that the necessary approvals to proceed are obtained. The new timetable for the Reablement re-commission will enable the approach described above to be progressed and implemented.
