Issue details
MSG Quarterly Monitoring Update 2018-19 and Rent Increases (IO80423)
To update the Grants Determination Sub-Committee (GDSC) on the performance of MSG projects for the 2015-18 programme, which is to be extended to the 31st March 2019. Performance will be related to whether the projects have met their output/outcome targets and whether there are any debtor or premises related issues. Each organisation is rated using the RAG system. Performance may include instances where projects have been RAG rated Red and recommendations for the GDSC to consider on how to proceed with these projects.
In addition the Sub-Committee is asked to agree a grant to organisations listed in the report and currently funded through Mainstream Grants towards the cost of increases in rent charged by the Council resulting from agreeing new leases for the period up to the end of the current round of MSG. This will allow the Council to meet its obligations to agree formal lease terms with all VCS organisations occupying its premises without causing unreasonable financial disadvantage to the organisations affected. There will be no overall financial impact on the Council as the grant will be repaid by the organisations in rent payments.
