Service Based Review Monitoring

Report of the Chamberlain.

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report of the Chamberlain updating it on the monitoring of Service Based Review (SBR) savings. It was noted that currently five departments had outstanding issues in respect of SBR savings as follows:-

 

·         City Surveyor: The target for 2018/19 remained challenging and was dependent on implementation of the cross-cutting Facilities Management review.

·         Community and Children’s Services: Proposals for additional income from Barbican Estate car parking and baggage stores were being reconsidered following discussions at the Barbican Residential Committee. Savings would be realised from other budgets in 2017/18 while a review of charging/income options took place.

·         Open Spaces: Proposals for Epping Forest were on hold pending progress on the Open Spaces Bill. One-off savings had, however, been substituted for 2017/18.

·         Barbican Centre: Proposals for savings in the Buildings and Operations area were under review and a further report would be presented to the Barbican Centre Board. Proposals for additional income in 2018/19 remained on track for delivery.

·         City of London School for Girls: Additional income in 2017/18 was on track to be delivered.

 

RESOLVED – That:-

 

1.      the report be noted and that in future, updates be received in respect of the outstanding SBR savings via the Efficiency and Sustainability Plan; and

 

2.      the City Surveyor’ s local risk budget be increased by £300k per annum for 2017/18 and subsequent financial years, to meet the cost of the unfunded Assistant Property Facility Managers posts. This cost to be met from the savings arising from the City Surveyor’s SBR.
