Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

 The Committee considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services, which updated Members on the work of the Asset Maintenance Working Party.  Members of the working party had expressed a wish to retain their group, with its specific skills set, to ensure progress beyond the gap analysis (as set out in the appendix to the report).

Given that the RCC’s AGM (early 2016) would review the Terms of Reference for each Working Party, the Chairman suggested and Members agreed that the Terms of Reference of the Asset Maintenance Working Party be reviewed, in order to allow the Asset Maintenance Plan to be developed and in place, before the work is subsumed into the SLA Working Party.   Members also noted that officer time on working parties was chargeable to the resident service charge account and was scrutinised by the Barbican Residential Committee.

In response to a query about a possible sinking fund, the Assistant Director explained that the Barbican Leases did not make provision for this.

RESOLVED, that - the report be noted.
