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 ?

 

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

York Learning Accountability Agreement 2025/26

Description:

 

Purpose of Report: As a provider of adult education in receipt of grant funding of over £1m we must write and publish an accountability statement to form part 2 of our funding agreement with the Skills Funding Agency. We have also been advised that to meet financial procedure rules we must also document approval to receive the recurring grant funding that will make up part 1 of the documentation.

The statement is a mandatory part of the legislation linked to our current funding arrangements but must make clear reference to a document, written by West and North Yorkshire Chamber of commerce called the Learning Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) and the key priorities of the council.

This document is this year’s version of a document approved for 2024-25 and our response is largely based upon the strategy for adult learning and skills engagement that we consulted on in July 2022 and just defines targets based on the LSIP and national skills requirements.

The Executive will be asked to: Approve the agreement to form part 2 of our annual funding contract with the Skills Funding Agency.

Executive Decision - a 'Key Issue' -  decision with significant effects on communities

Title of Report:

 

Review of Parking Charges

Description:

 

Purpose of Report: This report will consider questions around the impact of parking charge changes, implemented following approval of the 2025-26 budget, and suggested mitigations for those impacts. It will also consider anomalies in the implementation of already approved parking charges and suggest amendments to address those anomalies.

The Executive will be asked to: Consider whether any changes to the current charge schedule are needed, and agree the Council’s process for dealing with a Traffic Management Act 2004 ‘Right to Challenge Parking Policies’ request, as submitted.

 

It has not been possible to give 28 clear days notice of the intention to make this Key Decision. The reason why compliance has not been possible in this instance is that in having listened to the concerns of residents and local businesses regarding the impact of the Parking Charges approved at Full Council, the Executive needs to consider and implement a plan to mitigate these concerns as soon as possible. There is also a need to expedite the challenge under the Traffic Management Act 2004, that responds to petitions received and corrects anomalies in parking charges in a timely manner.

Active Travel Crossing Request Evaluation & Prioritisation Methodology

Description:

 

This report presents an updated Active Travel Crossing Request Evaluation and Prioritisation Methodology to replace the one adopted in 2016 by City of York Council to reflect changes in guidance and policy. The methodology will enable requests for active travel crossings to be assessed, prioritised and implemented in line with available budgets. The report also proposes a methodology for prioritising dropped kerb crossing requests independently from other crossing requests.
The report finally suggests a method for dealing with the backlog of requests which has built up over the past few years due to reduced budgets and staff resource.

The Executive Member will be asked to adopt the updated evaluation and prioritisation methodology and the new methodology for prioritisation of dropped kerb crossing requests. Approve the suggested method for tackling the backlog of requests built up in the past few years.

Merger of Safer York Business Partnership with York BID including transfer of Reserves

Description:

 

York has had a Business Crime Partnership since 1997 which since October 2023 has been Safer York Business Partnership. The Business Crime Partnership is an independent organisation accredited under the Association of Business Crime Partnerships and made up of 180 local businesses across the City. It is self funding through its membership subscriptions which give members access to a radio scheme linked to North Yorkshire Police and an electronic information sharing system. It has been difficult to maintain consistent input from the business community to the running and governance of the partnership therefore a decision has been made to merge the partnership into the core business of York BID as part of the support to Purple Flag and the BID’s role in leading the strategic priority of ‘Keeping the City Centre Safe’ on behalf of the Statutory Community Safety Partnership for York, Safer York Partnership.

The funding accrued by the Business Crime Partnership has been held on their behalf within the City of York Council’s Community Safety budget as a separate third party fund.

The Executive Member will be asked to approve that support to the Business Crime Partnership will transfer to York BID which will be funded by the partnership. This will include the transfer to York BID of reserve funding currently held on behalf of the Business Crime Partnership by CYC.

Title of Report:

 

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy

Description:

 

Purpose of Report:

i.              In April 2024 a report to Executive presented the results of an externally facilitated assessment against the recently refreshed Equalities Framework for Local Government (EFLG).

ii.            This work fed into a Draft Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy. At the Executive meeting of April 2024 Members approved a recommendation to consult on the draft strategy which would inform a final document for adoption, with a linked action plan.

iii.           This report asks for Executive approval for both the final strategy and annual action plan.

The Executive will be asked to approve the following:

i.              The final Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy and associated Annual Action Plan (the ‘key deliverables’ for Year 1 of the Strategy)

ii.            A progress report being produced every 12 months for the annual public meeting of the Human Rights and Equalities Board.

Reason: To demonstrate City of York Council’s core commitment to becoming a more equal, diverse and inclusive council.

This item was originally scheduled for the Executive meeting of 3 June 2025, but has been postponed to 1 July 2025 in order to allow full consideration of comments and suggested changes made at Corporate Services, Climate Change and Scrutiny Management Committee on 12 May 2025.
