Minutes:
29.1 The Panel considered a report that consulted on proposals to improve the delivery of the Estate Development Budget (EDB) projects and to inform representatives of changes to EDB processes.
29.2 Charles Penrose stated that he welcomed the report and update.
29.3 Barry Hughes echoed Charles’ comment adding that there was a store at Holbank that could be used for area equipment storage.
29.4 Alan Hale asked why the cap on EDB ‘quick bids’ had been raised to £750 from £500.
29.5 The EDB Project Manager stated that the level had been raised to provide more flexibility.
29.6 Tomm Nyhuus stated that he believed it was essential to raise the cap as it was not difficult to spend £500 on a project and the figure had remained unchanged for many years.
29.7 Carl Boardman stated that he was part of the EDB Panel that looked at this issue and it was their view that raising the cap would account for inflation and flexibility for further years.
29.8 RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
