Report of Deputy Chief Executive (Place) attached

The Cabinet considered a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) setting out the interim results of the Council’s Fire Safety Review, which was established following the Grenfell Tower fire on the 14^th June 2017.

Resolved:

1. That the work undertaken by the Council and South Essex Homes in respect to Fire Safety, be noted and endorsed.

2. That a further update be submitted to a future meeting of the Cabinet.

Reasons for Decision:

As a result of the Grenfell Tower Fire the Council undertook a fundamental review of its fire safety policies and procedures and put in place appropriate resources to ensure it maintains its buildings in a safe condition whilst upgrading them where this is appropriate and practicable.

Other Options:

The Council could decide to maintain all operational properties in their current condition with fire improvement works and, where practicable, to bring them up to the requirements of the latest Building Regulations when they next undergo major alterations and/or extension. All operational buildings would still meet statutory requirements although it could be argued that the Council would not be meeting the section of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 that requires Employers to ‘put in place, and maintain, appropriate fire safety measures’. This option has, therefore been discounted.

The Council could commit to bringing all operational buildings up to current Building Regulation requirements.  However, this will not always be practicable due to the construction and/or age of the building; the building may be listed on the National Heritage List for England, which could limit what works could be undertaken; or changes could be financially unviable. This option has, therefore been discounted.

Report of Chief Executive attached.

The Cabinet considered a report of the Chief Executive covering the treasury management activity and compliance with the treasury management strategy for both quarter three and the period from April to December 2017.

Resolved:

1. That the Quarter Three Treasury Management Report for 2017/18, be approved.

2. That it be noted that the treasury management activities were carried out in accordance with the CIPFA (The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy) Code of Practice for Treasury Management in the Public Sector during the period from April to December 2017.

3. That it be noted that the loan and investment portfolios were actively managed to minimise cost and maximise interest earned, whilst maintaining a low level of risk.

4. That it be noted that an average of £47.4m of investments were managed in-house.  These earned £0.157m of interest during this nine month period at an average rate of 0.44%.  This is 0.27% over the average 7 day LIBID and 0.14% over the average bank base rate.

5. That it be noted that an average of £5.0m was managed by an enhanced cash fund manager.  This earned £0.023m during this nine month period at an average rate of 0.62%.

6. That it be noted that an average of £15.2m was managed by two short dated bond fund managers.  This earned £0.176m during this nine month period from a combination of an increase in the value of the units and income distribution, giving a combined return of 1.54%.

7. That it be noted that an average of £16.3m was managed by two property fund managers.  This earned £1.353m during this nine month period from a combination of an increase in the value of the units and income distribution, giving a combined return of 11.01%.

8. That it be noted that the level of borrowing from the Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) (excluding debt relating to services transferred from Essex County Council on 1^st April 1998) remained at the same level of £227.8m (Housing Revenue Account (HRA): £77.0m; GF: £150.8m) during the period from April to December 2017.

9. That it be noted that the level of financing for ‘invest to save’ capital schemes increased from £7.90m to £8.80m during the period from April to December 2017.

Reasons for Decision:

The CIPFA Code of Practice on Treasury Management recommends that Local Authorities should submit reports regularly.  The Treasury Management Policy Statement for 2017/18 set out that reports would be submitted to Cabinet quarterly on the activities of the treasury management operation.

Other options:

There are many options available for the operation of the Treasury Management function, with varying degrees of risk associated with them.  The Treasury Management Policy aims to effectively control risk to within a prudent level, whilst providing optimum performance consistent with that level of risk.
