Any Other Business Minutes: The following matters were discussed: Funding rounds for the bid process · It was suggested that the Committee could run two funding rounds annually, including meeting discussions for each Ward’s Elected Members, to set deadlines and go through bids, creating a more robust process and limiting the number of last minute bids, with the exception of smaller bids. In response it was noted that flexibility for applicants was often useful, particularly for ringfences, and this issue was being looked at through the Community Committee review. A report was due for consideration at the Executive Board with differing views on the funding round idea apparent. The review may standardise or provide a toolkit for Committees to accept and determine funding bid applications and pre-finance meeting were likely to be of use but may lead to issues, particularly for politically split Wards. Forward plan for future agenda items · It was proposed that the Housing department was an agency the Committee was interested in receiving agenda items and presentations from to address issues within the area. Given the large portfolio and many branches of the Housing department it was appropriate to divide specific topics and consider them over different meetings over the year. It was agreed that the forward plan schedule was to be, Adaptations and Growth, Voids and Repairs then Evictions and Anti-Social Behaviour.
