Everett Haughton, Third Sector Programmes Manager, presented the report which concerned proposed amendments to the calculation of the results ratings for organisations receiving MSG funding.  These would require organisations to self-monitor performance in addition to monitoring administered by Council Officers.  The parameters for ratings were given at paragraph 3.6.

The Chair invited Councillor Saunders to comment on the proposals and she indicated that she supported the proposals.

Commissioner Max Caller supported the approach which encouraged organisations receiving Main Stream Grant funding to proactively manage their affairs.  Commissioners approved the recommendations as set out in the report.

RESOLVED

1.    That the change to the RAG rating calculation as set out in paragraph 3.6 of the report be approved

2.    That the amended payment arrangements as set out in paragraph 3.7 of the report be approved.
