Declaration of Interests

If a Councillor has a disclosable pecuniary interest in a particular item, whether or not it is entered in the Authority’s register of interests, or any other significant interest which they consider should be declared in the public interest, they should declare the existence and, unless it is a sensitive interest as defined in the Member Code of Conduct, the nature of the interest at the commencement of the consideration of that item or as soon as it becomes apparent.

 

At meetings where members of the public are allowed to be in attendance and speak, any Councillor with a disclosable pecuniary interest or other significant interest may also make representations, give evidence or answer questions about the matter.  The Councillor must then withdraw immediately from the meeting before the matter is discussed and any vote taken.

 

Where Members of the public are not allowed to be in attendance and speak, then the Councillor with a disclosable pecuniary interest should withdraw from the meeting whilst the matter is under consideration. Councillors who have declared other significant interests should also withdraw from the meeting if they consider their continued participation in the matter would not be reasonable in the circumstances and may give rise to a perception of a conflict of interest.

 

Councillors are not obliged to withdraw from the meeting where a dispensation to that effect has been obtained from the Audit, Pensions and Standards Committee. 

Minutes:

There were no declarations of interest.

ICT Transition Phase 5 - The Transfer Of Specialised And Other Services And Staff From H&F Bridge Partnership To The Council pdf icon PDF 287 KB

Minutes:

1.1.        To approve the transfer of specialised services and data networks and telephony staff to the council effective 31st October, 2016.

1.2.        To delegate to the Chief Information Officer (CIO) approval of appropriate Section 113 agreements for staffing and service delivery.

1.3.        To approve the use of £431,000 from previously allocated budgets to undertake  transition activity.  A Cabinet paper of 6 July 2015, entitled “ICT transition funding and viability” approved an estimated £775,000 for this service tower. At that point, the council only had early estimates for the plans for specialised services.  The programme team has now refined these estimates.  This reduced cost includes exit from HFBP, entry into the new service provision from shared ICT services, including staff transition and the relevant asset transfer and associated asset costs.

1.4.        To note this assures savings of around £1,038,000 in 2017/18 toward the overall target of in excess of £4.7 million.
