Decision:
Dorne Kanareck, Interim Service Head Commissioning and Health, Adults Social Care introduced the tabled briefing that responded to issues raised at the previous Commissioners’ Decision Making Meeting concerning the Jagonari projects.
The Service Head answered questions relating to measures taken by officers to monitor the Jagonari projects and, although financial issues around the rental of the venue remained to be resolved, Commissioners were satisfied that the projects were being monitored robustly and those rated green were successful. On this basis they approved the ‘Green’ rated Jagonari projects listed in the briefing.
Noting that the projects provided a valuable community resource, Commissioners also recommended that officers explore ways in which the issues concerning the venue might be resolved to mitigate the potential loss of projects.
RESOLVED
1 That the awards for the green rated projects ‘Jagonari Playhouse’ and ‘Wapping Playzone’ be approved.
2 That the awards for the red rated projects ‘Special Times’ and ‘Wapping Creative Bangla Project’ be refused

Decision:
Chris Holme, Acting Corporate Director, Resources, introduced the report setting out proposals for the second of a two-phase extension for projects rated as ‘amber’. A supplementary appendix was tabled containing an Equality Assessment of MSG Roll-Over Funding Proposals.
The Commissioners then asked attending Members to respond to the proposals in the report. Councillors Rachael Saunders expressed some reservations around some of the projects that had not achieved a ‘green’ rating but was broadly supportive to the proposal. Councillor Peter Golds also expressed concerns around a number of the projects that had not achieved a ‘green’ rating. He then asked that Elected Members, under confidential arrangements, be permitted to inspect background documents that supported the officer ratings. Commissioners agreed that this was an appropriate request and that such access should be granted.
The Commissioners queried the performance of a number of projects and were concerned that the Council should support only successful organisations and projects that would succeed. They agreed to approve all green rated projects in the schedule of officer recommendations except the Jagonari projects which would be deferred and considered separately once information requested by Commissioners had been provided.
RESOLVED
1 That a funding extension be approved, except funding to the Jagonari projects, as specified in tables 1 to 9 of section 5 of the report in respect of each project rated GREEN in those tables.
2 That there be no further funding extension,, in respect of projects rated AMBER or RED in tables 1 to 9 in section 5.
3 That consideration of the Jagonari projects be deferred pending receipt of additional performance/audit information and that these decisions then be determined separately by Commissioners.
4 That Elected Members, under confidential arrangements, be permitted to inspect background documents relating to the officer recommendations.
