The Assistant Director Performance and Transformation submitted a report which summarised the Council’s Performance, Risk and Finance monitoring position as at the end of the municipal year 2018/19. In presenting the report, the Assistant Director Performance and Transformation gave a presentation which explained how performance was assessed against Cherwell District Councils priorities.

In considering the report, Members referred to measure JBP1.1.1 – Maintain High Quality Waste & Recycling Services, and the lower garden waste tonnages, which was largely due to the long hot summer in 2018. Members queried how targets were set and suggested that, in relation to the green waste target, the measurement of green waste should be percentage recycled and not amount collected as this would vary each year, was dependant on the weather and not under the control of Cherwell District Council. 

The Assistant Director Performance and Transformation agreed to raise the comments with the Assistant Director Environmental Services and would report back to the Committee.

The Committee further commented on this measure in relation to recycling and agreed the Assistant Director Environmental Services should be invited to a future meeting of the Committee to provide information on Cherwell District Councils recycling contract, including where waste was taken and how it was processed.

Resolved

(1)      That the monthly Performance, Risk and Finance Monitoring Report be noted.

(2)      ?That it be noted that the Performance, Risk and Finance Monitoring Report is considered monthly by Executive. 

(3)      That, having given due consideration to the performance end of year update, no areas for further consideration by Executive be identified.
