Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decisions:

(Cabinet Member with Special Responsibility Councillor Hughes)

 

Cabinet received a report from the Chief Officer (Environment) which sought approval to introduce a new CCTV and access control system to White Lund Depot.

 

The options, options analysis, including risk assessment and officer preferred option, were set out in the report as follows:

 

 

 

Option 1: To approve the new CCTV and Access Control system

Option 2: To take no action

Advantages

The introduction of a new CCTV and access control system will improve management arrangements at White Lund Depot and provide ongoing revenue savings.

None

 

Disadvantages

None

Continuing to operate the same model of security for the Depot will not offer any revenue savings for the Authority.

The current system is aging.

Risks

Minimal to the Council’s partner (Vodafone) will deliver the solution and project manage the installation. If an alternative provider is required in the future, there may be a need to reconfigure the system in order for it to operate.

Staying with the existing system reduces the efficiency and effectiveness of depot management and is more expensive.

 

The officer preferred option was to approve and deliver the new CCTV and access control system.  Improving and modernising the security arrangements at White Lund Depot will help futureproof arrangements, increase coverage and offer significant annual revenue savings.

 

Councillor Hughes proposed, seconded by Councillor Warriner:-

 

“That the recommendations, as set out in the report, be approved.”

 

Councillors then voted:-

 

Resolved unanimously:

(1)             That approval be given to the use of the Invest to Save reserve to fund the one-off installation costs of a new CCTV and access control system at White Lund Depot.

(2)             That the Chief Officer (Resources) be authorised to update the General Fund   Capital Programme and Revenue Budget to include the associated costs/savings arising from this proposal.

Officers responsible for effecting the decision:

 

Chief Officer (Environment)

Chief Officer (Resources)

 

Reasons for making the decision:

 

The decision is consistent with the City Council’s aim of being a Smart District and the implementation of this new technologically advanced public CCTV system will improve the management of the depot and provide ongoing revenue savings.
