Minutes:

Members considered a report which outlined the refresh undertaken of the Council’s Performance Framework in order to provide a clear line of sight between the high level vision for the city and the work carried out by every Council employee. This followed the Finance and Performance Monitor taken by the Executive in June, and in order to reinforce the centrality of the Council Plan in determining priority activities and their resourcing both for services and individual members of staff.

Attention was drawn to paragraph 5 of the report which summarised the key elements of the vision and to the service delivery planning that was taking place to support the delivery of the plan.

Members commented on the need to ensure that the Council could evidence that it was a listening Council and that its consultation with residents was meaningful. Members agreed on the importance of ensuring that feedback was given to residents explaining why particular options had been taken.
