Decision:
Zena Cooke, Corporate Director for Resources and Everett Haughton, Third Sector Programmes Manager presented the report which informed CDMM members of the performance of MSG projects in the period January – March 2016. Ms Cooke advised that information relating to emergency grant funding was currently removed from the website pending review. She also acknowledged the representations from THCVS and the Shadwell Community Project and the comments of GSSC on the report.
The Chair invited Councillor Mukit to comment on the report on behalf of GSSC and he advised that GSSC recommended that future reports should focus on exceptions and outliers, provide analyses of relevant issues, geography and the reach of the grants.
CDMM Members discussed the report and noted:
- the issues described at paragraph 3.5.2 and the officer recommendation
- that grants were released part in advance and part in arrears and this caused cash flow issues in the sector. However it was appropriate that payment continue on the basis of satisfactory performance
- that projects required support to ensure that monitoring was completed appropriately
- that underperforming projects needed to be encouraged to deal with underperformance in a proactive manner
- that Shadwell Community Project performance issues centred on poor reporting
- that remaining issues around community building leases were progressing towards resolution
CDMM members recommended:
- that previous performance ratings should be included in future reports so that performance trend can be seen
- that projects be reported on the basis of population and activity rather that Ward
- that new methods of effective monitoring without excessive bureaucracy be explored
- that a verbal update on the current performance position be provided in conjunction with each future performance report
- that officers work with THCVS to provide the framework for performance and enable the projects to transfer successfully to a commissioning basis in future
