Decision details

Corporate Performance and finance business planning process

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To agree the process for the development of the new corporate plan and medium term financial strategy (MTFS).

Decision:

THAT:

(a)            The approach outlined in this report to developing the corporate plan and MTFS is agreed; and

(b)           The timescale for future budget monitoring and performance reports is noted

 

Reasons for the decision:

Under the constitution, the council is required to have a corporate plan setting out the objectives of the organisation and a MTFS to support its delivery. These key documents provide the basis for performance management of the organisation. The recommendations will ensure the plans are in place and that appropriate monitoring takes place.

 

Alternative options considered:

It is open to cabinet to amend or revise the proposals, but in doing so regard must be had to ensuring that a corporate plan and medium term financial strategy are available in time for the period 2016/17 to 2019/20 so as to provide a strategic direction for the council.
