Due
to the potential effect on service delivery in this and future years, and in
order to deliver the recommendations of the Resources Select Committee, the
Executive
RECOMMENDS
THAT FULL COUNCIL:
(a)
Confirms that the
budget allocations for 2003/04 and in future years (including those allocated
to underwrite the rent at Enterprise House, for strategic development of ICT
and from savings generated by the implementation) can be used to deliver the
two GAGS projects, as set out below;
(b)
Notes that the
Executive will, at any time, delay expenditure on a corporate call centre if
necessary to protect the standards of service delivery and/or to achieve
greater clarity in relation to the 2004-05 budget.
AND
RESOLVES, subject to approval by Full Council of the budget recommendations set
out above:
(1) To use the first floor of Enterprise
House as the location for a corporate contact centre, subject to there being,
in the opinion of the Portfolio Holder for Resources, no suitable alternative
user for Enterprise House;
(2)
That the Head of
Organisational Development, in consultation with the Deputy Leader and the GAGS
Programme Board, is given a specific delegation to deliver the corporate
contact centre and to ensure all aspects of best value are fully addressed;
(3)
That, if necessary in
delivering paragraph (1), the Executive receives a separate report in the near
future on the use of the ground floor of Enterprise House;

investigation be undertaken of the potential costs, savings and reallocation of
benefits to the Council of engaging with a strategic partner and that a report
be brought back to the Executive before the end of the year.
(5)
That the Head of
Organisational Development, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for
Resources, is given a specific delegation to purchase, implement and operate an
accredited Gazetteer System
(6)
That the costs of the
Gazetteer system, based on the projections set out in the report, be met from
budgets made available for the strategic development of ICT
(7)
To delay the
implementation of this resolution for so long as is necessary for normal budget
processes to deliver sufficient clarity in relation to the 2004/05 budget to
allow implementation.
