Resolved
(1) That implementation of the Shared Environmental Service Stage 2 Business Case be approved.
Reasons
There are two different structures used to deliver the services at the two councils. A fully integrated shared service will require a common management and supervisory structure which spans both councils. This offers the opportunity for financial savings whilst still retaining a resilient structure.
The consultation period has given staff the opportunity to the proposed business case. A number of minor changes have been made to the business case following staff comments and questions.
Alternative Options
Option 1: Support the proposed Business Case in Appendix 2.
