Landfill Community Fund PDF 208 KB Decision: Decision Schedule Chair of the Cabinet
TO ALL MEMBERS OF NEWPORT CITY COUNCIL
Decision Schedule published on 23 March 2016
The Cabinet Member took the following decision on 23 March 2016. It will take immediate effect,
The reasons for this decision to be taken urgently are set out in the report and are as follows:
The three requests for funding have been received quite recently during quarter 4.
A decision on the funding split couldn’t be made until we had an approximate figure on how much money there would be available by the end of the year as, as per Q3 landfill tax return, there wasn’t enough funding available to cover the three requests, and a reduction in the funds to be awarded puts an additional pressure in these organisation to find external funding as, once the project has been submitted to Entrust for approval, if they are to receive funding they need to implement the project. As such, a reasonable estimate has been only available very recently.
The funding will be lost if not allocated and released this financial year. The risk of losing the funding if the funds cannot be released in this financial year means that the approval needs to be granted by 31st March at the latest, thus preventing the report going through the Council’s agreed consultation process.
The decision is not subject to the “Call in” Process.
In accordance with Standing Order 24 – Urgent Matters, this matter will be forwarded to the Audit Committee.
Reports relating to staffing issues/Confidential reports are not circulated to all members of the Council as part of the consultation/call-in processes.
