Board meeting – summary notes
The following is a summary of the key issues from a Board meeting held on
15 October 2009.
Housing Services Performance Tracker Report 2009-2010
The Housing Services Performance Tracker Report 2009-2010, showing the performance up to September 2009 was considered.
Service Improvement Plans 2009/10 – Updates
A report on the departmental service improvement plans was reviewed. The report provided a summary overview of progress plus more detail by exception where progress against target has slipped.
Capital Expenditure – ICT Infrastructure
Approval was given to extend the capital budget on the ICT Infrastructure. The additional expenditure during this year is to allow a change in priorities following a review of the ICT strategy. Implementation of a number of projects will be delayed whilst an upgrade of the network infrastructure will be brought forward.
Development Control
A proposed revised internal approval process of the bids to the Homes and Community Agency was reviewed and agreed. On the occasions that timing dictates, in-between Board meetings, the process allows for individual bids to be progressed under Chairman’s action. It was noted that this stage approval sets the budget but does not commit the expenditure.
Homelessness Action Plan
A draft Homelessness Action Plan has been prepared in line with the format suggested and approved by the TSA’s Homelessness Action Team. Five key local authorities with whom the Association works have been consulted on the draft plan and their comments taken into consideration and incorporated into the final draft.
The plan was approved.
Shared Ownership Report
A report had been circulated providing an update on the shared ownership sales position.
Board Training Day
A Board Training day is to be held on 20 November 2009 and will be split into two sessions. The morning session will be ‘a review of future strategy’ and the afternoon session will be a review of governance.
