Minutes:

Representatives of the Deputy Chief Executive submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing an update on the comprehensive review of portfolio agreements, including the measures and target for 2019/2020 which provide the basis for in year progress reports on delivery.

 

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

·         Councillors discussed and noted the work that had already been carried out in respect to developing the portfolio agreements for 2019/2020 and noted that the final drafts would be submitted to the July cycle of Scrutiny Committees.

·         It was also noted that the intention was to carry on with the revised format for reporting which hoped to reduce duplication and to better focus on reporting on measures and targets.

·         The Committee welcomed the continued development and implementation of a Performance Dashboard – demonstrated to Chairs in late 2018 – which aimed to ensure a consistent approach to reporting across Portfolios through a suite of measures with clear definitions and reporting formats in relation to the targets.

 

RESOLVED – That the proposals for the 2019/2020 portfolio agreements be noted.
