Issue - decisions

RESOLVED:                That the Cabinet Member for City Strategy agrees to the following recommendations  to Cabinet: *

i)             To note the report contents.

ii)            Agree to York Wheels taking responsibility and control for the planning and delivery of Dial and Ride, within the context of a revised service level agreement.

iii)          Ask officers to negotiate the details of a service level agreement with York Wheels to support the range of services that it currently delivers and its Dial and Ride service.

iv)          Agree to the requested grant settlement for the period January to December 2012 and delegate responsibility to officers for the grant agreement for subsequent years within agreed budgetary limitations.

REASON:                     This course of action will allow the Council to continue to support York Wheels in its delivery of services to York residents at a sustainable cost. It will also allow York Wheels the flexibility to adapt its services to the changing needs of York’s residents and communities.

*This decision will be put to the Cabinet for agreement on 6 December as Cllr Merrett expressed a personal non prejudicial interest in relation to this item as a founder member of York Wheels. Although he had had no direct involvement with the body for a number of years he also knew the Operations Manager also a Cabinet member.
