Report DRR19/011

The Executive received a report setting out the proposed maintenance budgets and planned maintenance programme for 2019/20. The Portfolio Holder for Resources, Commissioning and Contract Management highlighted an additional fund of £200k which would be used for essential maintenance of toilet facilities at the Civic Centre, enhancing opportunities for parts of the building to be let out for events and improving the working environment for staff. The Leader added that now that the future strategy for the Civic Centre was settled it was right that the small maintenance backlog should be addressed.

RESOLVED that

(1) Subject to the Council agreeing the budget, overall expenditure of £2.135m be approved for the Building Maintenance budget in 2019/2020.

(2) The planned programme in Appendix A to the report be approved.

(3) Authority be delegated to the Director of Regeneration to vary the programmes to accommodate any change in the approved budget or where such action is considered necessary to either protect the Council’s assets or make the most effective use of resources.
