We're live now. Okay, super. So good afternoon, everybody. This is the decision day of me. I'm Nick Adams King. I'm the executive lead member for Universal Services at Hampshire County Council and of my colleague, Kirsty North, who is the executive member for countryside and regulatory services. The decision days are being broadcast in one session live on YouTube via the county council website. And so with me are a number of other members. Jackie Branson, who is the vice chair of the Universal Services overview and scrutiny committee. And the independent member who's Catholic Sarah Pankos, I'm looking for a list to see if any other counselors in here. I don't think we have, I think we've, I think, neither Rob nor. So, that's, that's the members and I'll see lots of offices to support us with this. So there are no deputations today and we'll go straight on to the first item on the agenda, which is the project appraisal for school that we're planning at Cricorn College. Henry Beaufort School and Hart plain infant school Patrick. I think the thing to note in this paper is that the actual reclad will be a significant improvement on both the thermal and environmental performance of the school, which in turn benefits the energy efficiency, and the timing of this paper is quite key because it enables the work to be started over the summer during the period for school holidays. So that's all I was going to say by way of an introduction. I'm joined with colleagues from property services on the call if there are any sort of detailed questions we need to pick up, including Max Wicklock, who is the author of that report, but I was probably not going to say any more than that. Super thanks Patrick. Obviously, I think we've got a, you know, there are a large number of these, these buildings that we've traditionally had in Hampshire and so this is part of the ongoing program, which upgrades them, and obviously great news for these schools because they get much better facilities as a consequence. Jackie knows all about this. Do you want to say anything Jackie or. Just to say, as chairman of governors of crook on college, I am really delighted that this is going to happen and it will be a great improvement for the school. Great, thank you. Clusti, anything to add. I need it's really good news. Thank you. And Sarah. Brilliant. Thanks very much. I think it's part of an ongoing program. So, you know, no doubt, there'll be more to come along. After a while. So, I'm very happy to take to approve that. Thanks, Patrick. Should we go on to the next one. So item two is spend approval for cleaning of corporate properties contract. Okay, again, thank you very much. Council having us King. So, as you say, this is spend approval procurement and spend it single supply, single supplier for the non education and cleaning contract. I think the points to note from this paper are it really creates efficiencies, but it labels us to streamline the contract and the administration and the processes that go with that. I think just another key point that I was going to bring out by way of introduction is you'll see our estate is quite large. This is the non education state we're talking about here, but it enables the flexibility as we chop and change the estate as we go through them. The estate will evolve over time, and this contract will allow that flexibility for us to work with that with that agility there. So, that was always going to say what my way of introduction. Again, I'm joined with the property colleagues here. We've got the author of the report, Daniel Sanchez on the call, and very happy to take any detail questions on that. Thank you. Thanks very much. So, again, colleagues. I was once told, my first ever boss told me that the most asked me here the most important person in an office was, and I said, you know, it's cleaner. And I think that's very true and getting the cleaning right is enables us to do everything else so it's all very, you know, it's all important stuff. I'm very happy to approve that. And I'm sorry, I should have said, thank you to Max and thank to Daniel for the reports, which are still going to lots of detail about that. So, yeah, we're good for me. Third one's also about spend approval. This time for the property term maintenance contract. Again, Patrick, so similar kind of stuff, I guess. Sure. Thanks. Again, I'm property term maintenance contract. The purpose of this report really is about providing headroom in the term maintenance contract by where the approvals that we have, which is giving an uplift in the anticipated spend. I think the report goes into quite a lot of detail and what it does, it sets out the reasons why we're asking for that uplift in the headroom. But they include things we'll be quite familiar with around things like inflation, for example, and actually the fact that our estate has changed since this was put in place. I think a really important point of note for this report is whilst we're asking for the approval of that headroom, that uplift. We still will have the normal cycles part of our government, which is the annual approvals, the budgets, and that, which is the spend within the actual headroom and the uplift we're asking for here. So again, that was all I was going to say by way of an intro to this paper. We've joined, we're joined by Chris Topley, who's the author of this report. If there's any questions or comments that want to make, thank you. Super, thanks. So colleagues, again, anything anyone would like to add? This one questions, Jackie. Oh, no, not much. Okay, so I know. So, I mean, obviously throughout all of the different types of construction, we do not least in the main area of highways that I know we deal with. We've seen loads of inflation in the materials and so on. So it's not surprising that we're asking for this in some respects. On the other hand, it's good to know equally that, as people would have seen, we've been looking very much at our state and so it gives us the flex to be able to react to any of the changes in the state that we want to as well. So it's all good news from that respect. So I'm very happy to to approve that as well. In fact, Christopher, for the report and all the work on that. And I think that's possibly my fastest decision day ever. So there we are, and so over to Kirsty. Thank you very much, Nick. So as Council Adams King said, I am Kirsten or the executive member for countryside and regulatory services. Thank you very much for attending my part of the virtual decision day today, which continues on the same webcast. I have no public deputation. So the first item is the scheme of delegation for land and asset transactions. And I understand Patrick is going to give us a brief intro. So to you, Patrick. Thank you, Council North. So as you say, this is the scheme of delegation, but particularly in relation to land and asset transfers that we're considering here today. What it does, it starts to look at our existing arrangements and the officer delegations that sit within that. And what we propose within the report is consolidating those arrangements and just making them fit for purpose. It's been a while since some of them have been looked at and therefore bring them up to speed, bring them up to standard and make them fit for purpose. What it will enable us to do is really just be more efficient within our delivery, but I think importantly that agility and ability to move quickly where we have opportunities with our assets. And so the delegation's really set that out in detail. It's quite complex in terms of the numbers of them. So I don't propose to go into all the details here, but they're set out in the report. I'm joined by Rachel Overton on the call. Rachel's our head of estates and was the is the author of drafting this report. So if there are any detail questions from members, very have to take those and perhaps Rachel will be able to answer those. Thank you. Thank you very much Patrick, and thank you to Rachel for being here and being on hand. I'm, I'm pretty happy we've obviously had a briefing about this already but any members, would you like to comment at all or ask any questions. I'm seeing lots of shakes of heads. So, in which case, the recommendation on page 37, I'm very happy to approve that. And then my other item today is exempt. So it even shorter and sweeter because I now have to thank you all for attending and exclude the press and public. And would you like me to read the full statement Caroline. So the public be excluded from the decision day during the following item of business as it is likely in view of the nature of the business to be transacted, or the nature of the proceedings that if members of the public were present during this item. So it would be disclosure to them of exempt information within paragraph three of part one of schedule 12 a to the local government at 1972. And further that in all the circumstance of the case the public interest in maintaining the exemptions outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information for the reasons that out in the report. So quickly please end the webcast. Thank you for coming. [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANKAUDIO] [BLANKAUDIO]
