(Cabinet Member with Special Responsibility Councillor Blamire)
Cabinet received a report from the Chief Executive to enable consideration of the draft Corporate Plan 2016-2020 with a view to recommending the Corporate Plan to Council for approval.
The options, options analysis, including risk assessment and officer preferred option, were set out in the report as follows:
|
Option 1: Recommend to Council the draft Corporate Plan as presented or recommend with minor amendments |
Option 2: Corporate Plan not recommended to Council at this stage |
Advantages |
Assuming no significant impact on resources and forward planning arrangements, minor amendments can be managed without interruption to the strategic planning cycle and the Corporate Plan can be submitted for consideration by full council |
A revised Corporate Plan will reflect any significant changes recommended by Cabinet |
Disadvantages |
None identified |
This option is likely to lead to delays in publication of the Corporate Plan leading to uncertainty regarding the council’s intentions and possible interruptions to delivery of some services and activities |
|
Option 1: Recommend to Council the draft Corporate Plan as presented or recommend with minor amendments (continued) |
Option 2: Corporate Plan not recommended to Council at this stage (continued) |
Risks |
Objectives and funding may change during the year that will have an impact on needs, aspirations, financial forecasts and other resource implications |
May have an impact on the strategic direction for the delivery of council services and the achievement of corporate priorities. The budget has been approved in line with the priorities set out in the Corporate Plan and significant changes at this stage may have budget implications that would need to be considered further |
The Officer preferred Option was Option 1 as this would underpin Council activities, business and resource planning from an early point in the municipal year. Additionally, local residents, communities and partners would be clear about the priorities and outcomes the Council wished to achieve in the coming three years.
