The report notes the progress on 2018/19 planned maintenance programme and requests approval for additional spend on new schemes.

The Committee:

(1)          Noted progress on the 2018/19 planned maintenance programme;

(2)          Authorised changes to the programme set out in section 3 of the report, including £41,500 additional expenditure to be funded from the property maintenance reserve.

A report setting out progress on the 2018/19 planned maintenance programme and requesting approval for additional spend on new schemes was considered by the Committee.

Authorisation was sought for additional works in relation to:

·                     New water main, Horton Country Park (£26k)

·                     Works to the Town Hall internal lighting management system (£7k)

·                     Work resulting from legionella risk assessments (£20K)

It was also noted that the works to the heating system at the Community and Wellbeing Centre were being removed from this year’s programme in anticipation that more extensive works might be required in the future.

The combined estimated cost of these additional works (£53K) could be partially funded by a projected underspend of £11.5K on the works programme previously approved with the shortfall (£41.5K) being funded from the property maintenance reserve.  This would reduce the projected balance on the reserve to £307,320 as at 31 March 2019.

Accordingly, the Committee:

(1)          Noted progress on the 2018/19 planned maintenance programme as set out in Annex 2 to the report;

(2)          Authorised changes to the programme set out in section 3 of the report, including £41,500 additional expenditure to be funded from the property maintenance reserve.
