24/04/2019 - Winter Pressures 2019-20 Funding - Key Decision

Decision Maker: Leader of the Council

Decision due date: Not before 02/05/2019

Lead officer: Peter Morley

Notice of decision: 24/04/2019

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The item could not be included on the 28 Day Notice because services relating to this decision are in place to relieve pressures on the system of homecare that supports vulnerable adults to stay in their homes and return home from hospital. Any delay in securing the funding could have a negative impact on Delayed Transfers of Care. This is the number of days that citizens are waiting in hospital when they are medically fit for discharge, but it has not been possible to put a package of care in place to support them safely to return to being cared for in the community.

Anticipated restriction: Open

17/04/2019 - Street Lighting Private Finance Initiative Contract Re-Financing - Key Decision

Decision Maker: Leader of the Council

Decision due date: Not before 29/04/2019

Lead officer: Richard Beckett

Notice of decision: 17/04/2019

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
Due to currently favourable debt markets, the City Council’s street lighting Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contractor has recently approached the Council with a proposal to re-finance its outstanding debt. This is a standard procedure within a PFI contract, from which the Council will receive a financial benefit. The item could not be included on a 28 Day Notice for two reasons. Firstly, taking the decision will give the Council’s commitment to the principle of the transaction, which the PFI contractor requires in order to move to the next stage of the transaction. A delay here will extend the timeframes that all parties are working to and reduce the ability to secure favourable funding terms at the earliest opportunity. Secondly, it will increase the flexibility that the Council and the PFI contractor have in order to time when final terms are agreed with the financial markets, thereby maximising the opportunities for these to be at their most advantageous to the Council.

Anticipated restriction: Open
