The Service Director – Resources presented report entitled Integrated Performance Management which was referred from the Finance, Audit and Risk and Overview and Scrutiny Committees and highlighted:

·         This was a proposal to change the way Performance Indicators, projects and risks are dealt with and reported on, to ensure they are more closely aligned to each other and the Council Plan.

·         Section 7 details the processes and reports that are sent to both the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee and the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

·         Section 8 details the proposed changes.

Councillor Ian Albert advised that he was supportive of this move and the idea followed from seminars attended by Members. The move to an Integrated Performance Management report will allow a role for Cabinet within the processes. He noted that there was cross party support for this move and thanked the Officers involved for their work in getting proposals put together.

Councillor Ian Albert proposed and Councillor Judi Billing seconded and, following a vote, it was:
