Agenda item

That the following aspects of the report be noted:

  i.  Performance and Project management

  ii.  Financial performance – revenue and capital

The Cabinet considered the Council’s performance covering the period up to and including 2010 against the following key areas:

·  Revenue and capital monitoring position to August 2010

·  Performance monitoring against the Corporate Balanced Scored Card and the LAA Balanced Score Card to August 2010

The Director of Improvement and Development advised that the Corporate Scorecard provided an update on performance covering the period up to and including August 2010 drawing attention to:

·  Areas of exception.

·  Areas of improved performance. 

·  Assessment of where improvement actions were needed for performance to achieve end of year targets.

·  Following concerns raised at the previous scrutiny around appraisal completion rates a dedicated presentation on this area of performance would be given by the Assistant Directors of HR and Transformational Change, Policy and Performance.

Members noted that the revenue budget position as at the end of August 2010 left an overall headline underspend position of £206,000.  The Director of Resources advised that close scrutiny would be required from the Directorate Management Teams to ensure that the base budget position for 2011/12 and beyond was not weakened. 

Members were advised that the capital programme for 2010/11 to 2016/17 was currently being reviewed by Cabinet Members and Senior Officers.  The outcome of any changes that impacted on this current year would be reported in September budget monitoring report. 

Resolved – That the following aspects of the report be noted:
