Decision details

The Committee considered the Corporate Risk Register (circulated previously).

The Chief Executive addressed the Committee and advised that the CORGI group (the group which maintains and monitors the Corporate Risk register) had recently met and updated the register. The updated version had been provided separately to the original agenda.  He advised that the Authority had a risk system in place but that any risks which were far-reaching (ie outside of their own team or unit) were added to the Corporate Risk Register.

In relation to specific items on the Risk Register the Chief Executive advised:

·                    F CRR 51:       the new planning system would facilitate the monitoring of section 106 contributions.  The new system will need to be populated with the data. In the meantime the records were now being maintained by the Parks, Leisure and Culture team.  Contributions were often tied to the land itself which can future-proof against any problems with non-payment.

The Head of Resources advised that Section 106 invoices were raised and closely monitored by the finance team.

RESOLVED that:

a)    risk F CRR 46 be removed from the register as this work had now been completed, and there was no longer a risk of non-delivery;

b)    Members work closely in their communities and advise the officers of any projects which may require funding in their local areas; 

c)    Members speak to the officers to review those projects currently in the programme with a view to help prioritise them according to the local need;

d)    Risk G CRR 53 be noted that no scoring was yet available.  Works were ongoing to assess this risk;

e)    the Planning Policy Officer be invited along to next meeting of the Committee (if available) in relation to risk G CRR 53; and

f)     the Corporate Risk Register be noted.
