Lead Member for Adult Services, Health and Wellbeing Decision: Salford City Council - Record of Decision (CABINET)
I, Paul Dennett, City Mayor, in consultation with the Cabinet, and in exercise of the powers contained within the City Council constitution, do hereby approve an amendment to the quoracy requirement in the Terms of Reference of each of the Adults’ Commissioning Committee (ACC), Children’s Commissioning Committee (CCC) and Health and Care Commissioning Board (H&CCB).
The number of voting members required to be present from each of Salford Clinical Commissioning Group and Salford City Council at each of the ACC, the CCC and the H&CCB will be reduced from three to two.
The Reasons are: Although SCCG and SCC have an equal number of members on each of the committees, the ‘voting membership’ of SCC is restricted to elected members and excludes SCC senior officer members. An absence of two or more elected members from an ACC or CCC meeting, and an absence of three or more elected members from a H&CCB meeting, would render the meeting inquorate and no formal decisions could be taken. Voting and non-voting members from both SCCG and SCC take their responsibilities as committee members very seriously but, as senior representatives of their respective bodies, there are occasions when members cannot attend due to other unavoidable work or personal commitments or sickness.
Options considered and rejected were to increase elected member representation or, in the case of the ACC and the CCC, to enact the provision in the Terms of Reference for existing members to nominate substitutes to attend in their place. (This is not provided for in the Terms of Reference of the H&CCB). Both of these options were rejected due to the existing heavy committee workload that members already have. Assessment of Risk: It is considered that a reduction in the number of voting members required to be present is a pragmatic approach which will reduce significantly the risk of a meeting being rendered inquorate. The source of funding is: N/A. Legal Advice obtained: Peter Hassett, Senior Lawyer, Legal Services. Financial Advice obtained: N/A. Procurement Advice obtained: N/A.

I, Paul Dennett, City Mayor, in consultation with the Cabinet and in exercise of the powers contained within the City Council constitution do hereby: Approve the report titled ‘Update on Greater Manchester’s Clean Air Plan: Tackling Nitrogen Dioxide Exceedances at the Roadside’, note the progress made to date to develop a Clean Air Plan to tackle NO2 exceedances at the roadside, and delegate authority to the Strategic Director Place to:
The Reasons: are as per the Recommendations section of the report (and in order to proceed towards developing a Charging Clean Air Zone in Greater Manchester as required by Government).

This could leave the GM authorities open to challenge. The source of funding is: assumed to be Government funded - £36m received to date. Procurement Advice obtained.

11.00: City of Salford Community Stadium Ltd Chief Finance Officer Decision: Salford City Council - Record of Decision (CABINET)
I, Paul Dennett, City Mayor, in consultation with the Cabinet and in exercise of the powers contained within the City Council constitution do hereby:
The stadium, managed by CoSCoS Ltd, continues to be the catalyst for regeneration and development of the surrounding land. The stadium provides employment for 235 people across catering and operations. The sale of several large sites continues to develop the city councils long terms plans to regenerate the area which bring jobs and economic benefits to the city. Whilst CoSCoS is Ltd is trading well there will continue to be a requirement for further working capital funding until such time as all of the development land is sold, allowing the repayment of existing development and working capital loans. The advance of £0.660m for 2019/20 is necessary to continue to secure the council’s investment. In addition to ongoing principal repayments, CoSCoS has repaid £1.183m generated from the sale of land. It is anticipated that the overall level of debt owed by CoSCoS to the council will reduce by £0.535m by the end of 2019/20. The investment will generate interest payments in excess of the costs of borrowing incurred by the council. This interest is set aside in a reserve which mitigates the risk of sale values falling short of the amount required to repay the debt. The resulting balance of risk is reducing on an annual basis. Options considered and rejected were Not providing the loan facility. Without funding provided by the shareholders, CoSCoS would be unable to continue trading, the consequences of which would include a default on the existing development and working capital loans. Borrowing. Legal advice originally secured in 2017/18 confirmed:
This position is unchanged.
