Report of the Chamberlain

The Board considered a report of the Chamberlain on capital prioritisation and the 2020/21 and 2021/22 rounds of annual capital bids. Members commented that it was important that parallel procedures and appropriate officer delegations be set up to avoid the need for decisions in respect of relatively minor sums to be submitted to full Board meetings, and asked officers to look for efficiencies in this regard.

RESOLVED – That the BHE Board agree the release of an initial £3,000 contribution towards the costs of progressing the Wide Area Network upgrade project to the next gateway, to be met from the Unrestricted Income Fund with funding previously approved within the 2021/22 budget.
