Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Deleted

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

RESOLVED:

 

(1)       That, having reviewed the Grants Policy, the revisions of the Grants Policy criteria as set out in the Report not be taken forward;

 

(2)       That Cabinet approves the Protocol for the NHDC / Health Protection Board Funding (as set out in Appendix B) and approves the amendments to the District Wide Community Facilities Capital & Revenue Grants Panel (as set out in Appendix C); and

 

(3)       That Cabinet approves the amendments to the Cabinet Panels’ Terms of Reference as set out in Appendices D, E & F.

 

REASON FOR DECISIONS:

 

(1)        Reviewing the new Protocol or revised criteria that have been put in place on a regular basis, provides the Council with assurances that the grant process achieves its stated aim, that the revised criteria has made the funding more accessible to a wider range of organisations who are working to support the community work in North Hertfordshire with vulnerable people or people of protected characteristics;

 

(2)        The NHDC/Health Protection Board (‘HPB’) Funding detailed, has been secured and must be used by the end of March 2022. It is proposed that this is to be considered by the District Wide Community Facilities Capital & Revenue Grants Panel, whose terms of reference therefore should be updated to reflect remit;

 

(3)        The Administration has requested a review of the three other Cabinet Panels to align to the Council’s renewed priorities.
