(ii) That an update report summarising the progress of the plan and its projects be considered by the Executive Member at a future Decision Session.

REASON: To keep the Executive Member up to date with the progress of the plan and its projects.

Minutes:

The Executive Member considered a report which set out the delivery plan for the Inclusive Arts Team. It detailed the projects, target groups and approach that were proposed to focus the team’s work through to 2013.

The Executive Member was informed of the work of the team and the successes of a number of arts projects across the City. Details of these projects were included in an additional paper circulated at the meeting. This paper was attached to the agenda after the meeting and republished online.

As a result of writing the delivery plan for the team there was now more of a focus on how the projects could have a life outside of the direction of the Council, and how this would impact their duration.

The Executive Member questioned some aspects of the delivery plan including:

The need for a summary of updates relating to the projects to be made visible to the public.
How contact was made to include specific community groups within the projects listed in the plan.
That there was a need for these groups to share information with each other, to not just avoid duplication of work but to also promote working together.
The timeframe of the projects detailed in the plan.

RESOLVED: (i) That the report on the delivery plan for the Inclusive Arts Team 2010-13, be noted and agreed by the Executive Member.

(ii) That an update report summarising the progress of the plan and its projects be considered by the Executive Member at a future Decision Session.

REASON: To keep the Executive Member up to date with the progress of the plan and its projects.
