To agree the public minutes of the Sub-Committee meeting held on 23 January 2020. Minutes: The public minutes of the meeting held on 23 January 2020 were approved as a correct record.
--------- Due to the ongoing COVID crisis and Government directives to minimise non-essential travel, a small number of Members (sufficient for a quorum) had attended in person. However, in view of the unprecedented circumstances and to facilitate informal contributions by those Members not physically present ahead of any decision-making, the meeting was adjourned at this point in proceedings. The meeting was subsequently reconvened and the public re-admitted, with all items of business then considered in the normal way. ----------

Capital Funding Update PDF 138 KB Report of the Chamberlain. Additional documents: Minutes: The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Chamberlain setting out various bids for Capital Funding.
Reference was made to the importance of robust communication around the annual bids process, to build on organisational understanding in good time ahead of the next round.
With reference to the projects being progressed, a Member observed that they were to be subject to the usual Gateway and other approval processes. Given the likely cancellation of a number of meetings as part of the immediate COVID response, particularly sub-committee meetings, it was queried how this would be managed. Members observed that thought would need to be given to this as there were many unknowns at this point; for instance, the impact of forthcoming legislation on virtual meetings, the timescales in which approvals might be needed, and any delays that might arise to both the projects and approvals required as a result of COVID. Retaining suitable Member oversight would be crucial.
RESOLVED: That Members:- 1. agree the allocation of central funding of up to £4.449m to allow schemes (i) to (x) as set out in Table 1 and detailed in paragraph 6 of the report to progress, subject to the requisite gateway and other approvals. 2. note the full schedule of 2020/21 successful capital bids provided in Appendix 1 - comprising ‘in principle’ funding amounting to £89m together with ‘in principle’ internal loan funding of £47.7m. 3. note that a review of the annual capital bid process is under review and that any changes proposed will be brought back to Members for consideration.
