To consider the Chief Executive’s Council Plan Overview Report covering the third quarter from October to December 2018 of the 2018/19 financial year.

The Commission considered the Chief Executive’s Council Plan Overview Report covering the third quarter from October to December 2018 of the 2018/19 financial year.

The Chairman outlined that the Council Plan Overview Report (CPOR) was historic in nature and that Timothy Wheadon’s commentary covered the key issues in the report.

Timothy Wheadon, Chief Executive advised the Commission that there had been no detailed questions or comments about the report submitted in advance to him for a response.

In response to questions from Members, Timothy Wheadon, Chief Executive advised that:

• The primary purpose of the quarterly summary reports was to hold officers to account by the Executive and the reports were only produced 4 times a year for that purpose.
• In order for the reports to be ‘current’ for the Overview and Scrutiny Panel meetings, the dates of the Panels would need to be moved to align with the production of the reports however, Members can always access the performance data through Citrix and Paris 2 weeks after each month end.
• There were two elements associated with producing a ‘dashboard’ for Members to view ‘live’ data.
