Decision Maker: Mid Suffolk Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
It was RESOLVED:-
1.1 That the formal 30 day consultation period 5 October 2018 to 2 November 2018 for the draft Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Homelessness Reduction Strategy be approved.
Reason for Decision: To ensure that Mid Suffolk District Council meets its statutory obligations under the Homelessness Act 2002 to review homelessness within its District and publish the results of that review and a strategy for tackling homelessness over the next five years.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected: The Council is required under the Homelessness Act 2002 to carry out a review of homelessness within its District and formulate and publish a strategy based on the results of that review. As the Council had a statutory obligation to publish the strategy there were no other options to consider.
Any Declarations of Interest declared: None
Any Dispensation Granted: None
MCa/18/33 – EARMARKING OF FUNDS FROM THE BUSINESS RATES RETENTION PILOT
It was RESOLVED:-
1.1 That delegation be given to the Strategic Director, in consultation with the Finance Cabinet Member and other relevant Cabinet Members and Suffolk County Council, to change the approved projects or identify new projects for earmarked funds to a limit of £20,000 per project.
Reason for Decision: To enable the specific identified projects to be progressed and the conditions of the pilot status to be complied with.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:
Option 1: Earmarking of the funds as set out in this report.
Option 2: Funds remain unearmarked within a reserve.
Both options above have been considered and the recommended option within this
report is Option 1, to allocate funds to specific projects. The reason the other option
has not been recommended is because a condition of the pilot status being awarded
is that the additional retained money should be invested in further growth initiatives.
Leaving the funds within a reserve will not achieve this key aim of the pilot.
Any Declarations of Interest declared: None
Any Dispensation Granted: None
