APPOINTMENT OF EXECUTIVE LEADER It was moved by Councillor Fairfoull and seconded by Councillor Gwynne that Councillor Warrington be appointed as Executive Leader of the Council for the Municipal Year 2018/19. That Councillor Warrington be appointed as the Executive Leader of the Council for the Municipal Year 2018/ EXECUTIVE LEADER S ADDRESS The Executive Leader began by explaining that the Annual Council meeting was being held on a Monday, as opposed to the usual Tuesday, due to the one year anniversary of the bombing of the Manchester Arena. There was not a single part of Greater Manchester that had been left untouched by the atrocity and there were many people who either sadly lost someone or knew friends, neighbours or colleagues who lost someone. In the face of unbearable violence and tragedy, Manchester came together as never before and a clear message was sent through the people who assisted others, the incredible response by the emergency services, the Love MCR vigil and the One Love concert that was held in the aftermath of the attack. Manchester responded with the values of respect, tolerance, love, unity and community, which would continue to be promoted and defended. Tameside had hosted a hub of mental health advice and support for those affected by the attack at Ashton Old Baths. She spoke about some of the key events of her first four months as Leader including the Council s response to the adverse weather. At the start of March 2018 the country was buffeted by some of the worst storms in recent history. These conditions put Council services and workers to the ultimate test, which was passed with flying colours. Highways and Transport services worked around the clock to keep the main roads open and 90 treatments were undertaken, almost double that of an average winter, with 5,000 tonnes of salt used on over 22,000 kilometres of road. Other Council teams worked hard to make sure that vital services continued to operate, including the Homelessness service, Bereavement service, Community Response Service and Integrated Urgent Care teams. The Executive Leader extended her sincere thanks and appreciation to the teams. Also in March 2018 the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, attended the first stakeholder event of the Stalybridge Town Centre Challenge. The vision will now be developed into a realistic masterplan and walkabouts and other consultation exercises with local people and businesses will be held. Reference was made to the event held to celebrate International Women s Day and the tragic fire in Ray Mill. Page 2

9 The Executive Leader made reference to the Local Elections that took place on Thursday 3 May 2018 and offered a warm welcome to the six newly elected Councillors. She expressed her thanks and best wishes to the six Councillors who had left and thanked all those who were involved in the election. She reported a number of changes to the Executive Member portfolios and Assistant Executive Member portfolios and a redistribution of power at a local level through the creation of new Neighbourhood Forums. Amongst the priorities for the year was a commitment to improve the private rented sector in Tameside, a drive to bring 800 empty properties back into use, the Vision Tameside project, integrating health and social care in Tameside, which included the launch of the Partnership Engagement Network, the Life in Tameside and Glossop website and the relocation of the Walk-In Centre to Tameside Hospital. An update was provided on the significant journey that had been undertaken in recent months in the improvement of Children s Services. A feedback letter had been received from Ofsted following their fifth monitoring visit in April. The report recognised the accelerated pace of improvement and that progress was now leading to improved outcomes for children and families. The energy and commitment of staff was highlighted in addition to the good quality direct work with children. Thanks were extended to all involved in the improvement journey. The Council was committed to future improvement to ensure that every child and family received the right support at the right time and to build upon the good progress that had been made to date. In the Budget in February, a funding commitment was made to a comprehensive plan of urban renewal and environmental improvement including repairing and upgrading children s play areas, road maintenance, continued rollout of LED street lighting and attracting jobs and further investment into the Borough. Investment had been secured from the GMCA Skills Capital programme to make Tameside the centre of high-quality vocational skills education through the building of a new Construction Centre with Tameside College. Funding had been awarded for a pilot project to create and deliver a program of physical activity sessions for Tameside Veterans. A commitment was made to further tackle the problems of anti-social behaviour and fly-tipping. Environmental Health and Neighbourhood teams worked daily to clear fly-tipping and identify perpetrators. During the first two months of the year, 113 fixed penalty notices had been issued, there had been 276 fly-tipping investigations and 132 reports of abandoned vehicles. Advice and support had been provided to residents to look after their own streets and community clean-up events had been held. In relation to anti-social behaviour, the Youth Service had been working closely with the Police and business owners to reduce young people taking part in anti-social behaviour in the Borough s town centres. They had engaged with the perpetrators and challenged their behaviour to help them think about the consequences of their actions and make better choices. The Executive Leader concluded by renewing and recommitting to the priorities outlined above. 9.

That the content of the report be noted. Page 21

28 3. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE STRATEGIC COMMISSIONING BOARD (a) Community Services Contract Consideration was given to a report of the Executive Member (Performance and Finance)/Director of Finance which explained the proposed revised payment arrangements for the commissioning of community service provision by the Council and NHS Tameside & Glossop Clinical Commissioning Group across the locality from the Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (ICFT). It was stated that the revised payment profiles would enhance the ICFT s cashflow position and allow it to avoid interest costs of 300k per annum. The Council would be compensated by 100k per annum for its own loss of interest caused by changing the payment profile. Executive Cabinet was informed that the Strategic Commissioning Board had previously considered the report and supported the recommendations. (i) (ii) (iii) That the advance payments arrangements set out in the report, intended to commence from 20 June 2018 for 2018/19 and from 1 April each financial year thereafter be agreed. That it be noted that Tameside Council will continue to be the host organisation and accountable body for the Section 75 pooled fund agreement. That the change, if expedient, be documented in the Section 75 and contracts between the CCG, ICFT and Council, otherwise through a separate agreement. (b) Outline Business Case For Transfer Of Adult Social Services Function Consideration was given to a report of Executive Leader/Director of Adult Services which set out the draft Outline Business Case (OBC) for the transaction of a proportion of Adult Social Care services and staff into the ICFT. The OBC combined a high level Strategic Outline Case (SOC) and the OBC within one document as agreed with NHS Improvement. It was explained that the Council, ICFT, and CCG had considered a number of integration options at the SOC stage and concluded that the options distilled in the OBC were the most effective ones to take at this time. Details of the teams and functions that were included in the preferred option were set out in the report, including the benefits, dis-benefits and risks to both the Council and the ICFT. The report described the economic, business, financial, commercial and management cases for the transaction of the services and functions identified in the preferred option. Executive Cabinet was informed that the Strategic Commissioning Board had previously considered the report and supported the recommendations. : That the content of the report be noted and the proposals contained in Option 2 be supported. (c) EXCLUSION OF PUBLIC AND PRESS : That under Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended) the public and press be excluded for the following item the grounds that it involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act Page 22

29 1972. Information relating to the financial or business affairs of the parties (including the Council) had been provided to the Council in commercial confidence and its release into the public domain could result in adverse implications for the parties involved. Disclosure would be likely to prejudice the Council s position in negotiations and this outweighs the public interest in disclosure. (d) Domestic Abuse Service Consideration was given to a report of the Assistant Director for Operations and Neighbourhoods requesting that the existing contract for the provision of the Domestic Abuse Service be extended for 6 months until 31 March 2019 to enable the service to be retendered. It was explained that this was necessary because the contract had not been awarded following a recent tendering exercise. In addition, the availability of additional funding for the service had been confirmed during the tender period. Executive Cabinet was informed that the Strategic Commissioning Board had previously considered the report and supported the recommendations. (i) (ii) That the service be retendered in light of the results of the tender evaluation following confirmation that additional funding was available. That approval be given for a six month extension of the existing contract with New Charter Homes (part of the Jigsaw Group) to facilitate the retender exercise. 4. REVENUE MONITORING Consideration was given to a report of Executive Member (Performance and Finance)/Assistant Director (Finance) which showed that the actual 2017/18 revenue budget outturn position for the Council was a net position of 3.342m under budget. This was a movement of 0.736m from the Period 10 monitoring report which reported a forecasted outturn position of 2.607m under budget. It was stated that this movement was net of the release of some provisions within Governance and further cost pressures in Children s Services. Members were informed that this overall position reflected the prudent planning taken when setting the 2017/18 budget, but also masked a number of pressures and savings challenges across the Directorates, including: The Director of Children s outturn was 8.655m in excess of budget due to demand on service provision in Children s Social Care. Specific mention of the management of this budget was included in section 3 the report. The Director of Governance outturn is within budget by 2.505m due to the effect of staff turnover, restrictions in spending, the release of some large one-off provisions and the bringing forward of savings in light of the service pressures being felt elsewhere within the Council. The Director of Finance and IT outturn is within budget by 0.928m due to delays in recruitment and other restrictions in spending. Corporate costs outturn is 8.263m under budget for 2017/18. This is due to a combination of the release of operational contingencies, which will be used to offset pressures in Children s Services, and receipt of one off additional grant income and additional Manchester Airport Dividend in excess of budget. It was stated that the pressures within Children s Services in particular threaten the financial sustainability of future year s budgets, and whilst these have been absorbed through prudent contingency planning and proactive restrictions on spending elsewhere, further funding cuts and Page 23
