Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
Interim report in June - To approve the principle of the creation of a shared Local Authority limited company for the delivery of waste and environmental services subject to criteria to be reviewed in the next phase of the project
Final decision in September
Decisions:
The Cabinet Member Sustainability introduced
the report which had been circulated with the agenda. He explained that the Gloucestershire Authorities
have been looking at the case for joint working in waste to
understand the value of potential savings and the implications of
realising these savings and this was still the vision for the
county. This report set out the option to create a Local Authority
Company (LAC), wholly owned by Cheltenham Borough Council and
another partner but with flexibility to include other partners in
the future.
Resolved
that:
- The business case annexed to this report for a Local Authority Company between Cheltenham Borough Council and another partner be approved but with flexibility to include other partners in the future.
- The services in scope identified in section 3 of the business case in respect of Cheltenham which are not in scope for the other partner (namely public toilet cleaning, grounds maintenance and management and maintenance of cemeteries and crematorium) be regarded as purely indicative at this stage to be tested by a separate commissioning study the result of which will be reported back to Cabinet.
- The Chief Executive, in consultation with the Cabinet Member Sustainability, the Director of Resources and the Borough Solicitor be authorised to develop the Articles of Association, Shareholder Agreement, Service Level Agreement and all other legal documents to enable the local authority company formation.
- A further report be submitted to Cabinet in September 2011 for approval of the details of the Local Authority Company and the documentation referred to in 3. above plus any further updates of the issues raised in this report.
