Performance Monitoring Quarter 1 2018/19 To receive a report on the Council’s performance for Quarter 1 (May-June 2018). At the progress meeting, a number of areas of focus were identified for more detailed consideration. These were: · Crime and Disorder · Digital Strategy · General Data Protection Regulations It is intended that further information will be available for the meeting. The quarterly monitoring report can be found here. Minutes: The Committee received a presentation from Mr. Jon Rundle, Strategy,
Performance and Partnership Manager, on the Quarter 1 Performance Monitoring. The Quarterly Monitoring Report provided information on how well the Council
was performing, and allowed Members and Officers to identify issues on an
ongoing basis. It was reported that at the end of Quarter 1, 85.2% of the
actions were “green”, 14.8% “amber” and 0% were “red”. The Committee was
apprised of the actions being taken on those that were “amber” and noted the
reasons why certain projects were not on track to be achieved within the
timescales set. A project relating to the CCTV service and how it would be shaped going
forward was raised as “amber”. The current service was provided in partnership
with Hart District Council and was due to undergo a review of the current
systems capabilities and likely needs for future proofing as part of the
procurement process for a new maintenance contract. The Committee was advised
that Hart had updated their cameras during the current contract but Rushmoor
had taken the decision to continue with the existing cameras. This situation
had made the procurement process for a new maintenance contract more complex
and there was a slight delay. A meeting was scheduled for the following week to
consider this matter. The Committee was concerned that the Council had taken
the decision not to upgrade the cameras at the same time as Hart and requested
that an update be given to explain the reasons behind the decision.
Since the last meeting, when the Committee had considered Quarterly
Performance Monitoring, it was noted that a number of new measures had been
added to the report. These related mainly to the SERCO contract and included
data on service satisfaction, street cleansing, in particular missed bin
collections and fixed penalty notices. Homelessness, walk in customers and
staff absence data was also being included. The Committee also noted that data
on the Council’s savings requirements had been recorded as part of the
information provided. The Committee discussed
the savings requirement data and requested that more information on
income generation, in particular that generated from property investment, should
be added to the work plan. The Chairman thanked Mr. Rundle for his presentation and welcomed Carrie
Ryan, Community Safety Manager and Inspector Phil Mayne of Hampshire Police who
were in attendance to provide a background to the crime and disorder figures
held within the Quarterly Performance Monitoring Report. The Committee was advised that there had been a continual decrease in crime rates over the past two years of about 1% despite all the “red” categories shown on the data provided within the report. Figures were skewed as crimes, such as burglaries, could take place over one to two nights; then ... view the full minutes text for item 11. |
