Decision details

This report sets out funding decisions requested from Area Boards between 14 – 25 June 2021

Area Board meetings have been held online and have been accessible to the public via Microsoft Teams for those wishing to take part and contribute to discussions on grant funding. In addition, meeting recordings could be viewed through a link provided on the agenda and meeting page from the council website (published 5 clear days in advance).

This report seeks a decision from the Leader of the Council to confirm funding decisions, following the discussions and recommendations at the Area Board meetings. It is not possible for the Area Boards to formally make the decisions at this time as they are unable to meet in person on public-health advice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

DECISION MADE

I approve that:

All funding recommendations made by Area Boards held online between 14 – 25 June 2021 as set out in the minutes published online, be approved.

This decision was published on 2 July 2021 and will come into effect on 12 July 2021.

To ensure determination of Area Board funding decisions in a timely manner.

All funding decisions taken between 14 – 25 June 2021 would be considered on a Board by Board basis and presented to the Leader on a fortnightly basis.

The Leader will make funding decisions following discussion and subsequent questions of the Area Board members and members of the public.

All funding bids will be detailed within the agenda packs for the relevant Area Boards and available to view online (available 5 days prior to the meeting dates). Members of the public wishing to make representations on the funding decisions should feed this in at the relevant Area Board meeting to be factored into the Board’s recommendation to the Leader. An account of any feedback and recommendations made at each Area Board will be presented to the Leader.
