Officer Decisions

Officers exercise delegated decision making powers in respect of both non-executive and executive functions of the Council.

The present Scheme of Delegation from the Leader of the Council, which sets out how executive functions will be discharged, provides for delegated decision making by officers. Appendix 9 of the Constitution sets out the non-executive functions delegated to officers. All executive functions, other than those reserved by Cabinet, may be discharged by officers.

The Chief Executive and Strategic Directors of the Council have established their own sub-schemes of delegation detailing which and how both non-executive and executive functions will be discharged on behalf of the authority.

Decision records for the discharge of functions by officers are published below. These decision records set out the following information:-

  • Date of the decision.
  • Decision maker name and job title.
  • Specific delegated power (if any).
  • Brief description of the decision.

28/04/2021 - Transportation of Children, Young People and Adults - Exemption to extend the procurement framework ref: 1233    Recommendations Approved

The existing procurement contract expired on 30.04.2021 and no application to extend the contract by way of an exemption has been processed to date. To allow sufficient time to consult with external transport providers, parents/carers of the children and apply the appropriate procurement process, a realistic timescale for renewal is September 2022.

 

In the interim, without an exemption, there is risk that existing provision and commitment/loyalty will be withdrawn, as operators seek more definite work or we may be subject to demands for increased rates, thus presenting a financial implication.

 

Any impact to existing provision, could also mean a risk to the safeguarding standards in place, as operators would not be accountable under the terms and conditions of engagement.

 

By granting this exemption, it allows the necessary timeframe to secure the existing provision, scope out the renewal programme, consider learnings from previous implementation and options for alternative procurement frameworks and ensure the stakeholders feel engaged and adequately consulted.

Following the correspondence received from MHCLG, to approve the extension of delivery for the Controlling Migration Fund programme until 31st March 2022.

Constitution – Sub-Scheme of Delegation

Brief Description of Decision:

 

 

The reason for this decision is to extend the pre-existing, approved Controlling Migration Fund (CMF) programme, funded by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG).  Delivery of the CMF programme has been impacted by Covid-19, resulting in the need for re-profiling of the time period for delivery using existing underspend.

 

MHCLG have confirmed that the decision to extend the Rotherham Controlling Migration Fund programme was to be made by the Local Authority, taking into account local circumstances (see attached email from MHCLG).

 

The current deadline for delivery of the Rotherham CMF programme is 30th September 2021.  It is proposed that delivery of the CMF programme is extended within the current financial year (using existing underspend) until 31st March 2022.  The final Impact Summary (Evaluation) for the programme will then be sent to MHCLG by 30th April 2022.

 

 

Reasons for the Decision:

 

 

Following the correspondence received from MHCLG, to approve the extension of delivery for the Controlling Migration Fund programme until 31st March 2022 as detailed above.

Financial and Procurement Procedure Rule

Section 58.4 Delegation Arrangements.

Brief Description of Decision:

 

 

That the Assistant Director of Planning, Regeneration and Transport authorises, in line with Contract Standing Orders Section 34 Delegation Arrangements, the tender submitted by Sanderson Building Services Ltd on 3 December 2020 for heating, cooling and lighting renewal at Moorgate Crofts.

 

Reasons for the Decision:

 

 

 

Lighting fixtures within the building have reached end of life, with regular failures, heat damaged fittings and obsolete parts. This procurement replaces office and (remaining) communal area lighting with LEDs, enhancing and modernising the building while creating (modest) energy cost savings for the Council and business occupants while reducing the burden of maintenance on the Business Centres caretaker and electrical contractors.

 

In order to ensure the continued sustainability and economic impact from RiDO’s purpose-built incubation centres, it is essential to maintain a high-quality offer for private sector occupants. Unit licence fees are at the high end of the Rotherham property market and this creates an expectation from paying occupants for the Council to maintain the buildings to a high standard and in a timely manner.

 

Details of Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:

 

Alternative tender submissions were considered and evaluated in the tender evaluation report.

28/04/2021 - (ASCPH) Rapid Fund Testing Funding Round 2 ref: 1174    Recommendations Approved

Decision published: 17/05/2021

Effective from: 28/04/2021

Decision:

 

ROTHERHAM METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL

 

RECORD OF OFFICER EXECUTIVE DECISION

 

 

Date of Decision:

 

28 April 2021

Decision Maker:

(Including Job Title)

 

Anne Marie Lubanski

Strategic Director, Adult Care, Housing and Public Health

 

Specific Delegation:

(If any)

 

Non-specific

Brief Description of Decision:

 

 

That 60% (£413,000) of the Rapid Testing Fund be allocated in accordance with the mandatory grant conditions.

 

That 40% (£288,000) discretionary element of the fund be allocated as set out below.

 

It is proposed to offer a range of organisations the opportunity to bid for a grant from the discretionary fund.

 

These organisations are:

 

·       Any Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered provider of residential care to adults with a registered location in Rotherham.  This includes care homes for older people and under 65 provision, including smaller homes to implement lateral flow testing as they may face relatively higher costs compared to larger homes.

·       Supported Living Providers.

·       Extra Care Housing Providers.

 

The above is in line with the conditions of the 40% discretionary grant.

 

In terms of reviewing the applications, these will be considered in this order of priority:

 

·       Supported Living Providers – providers not able to access the 60% mandatory grant.

·       Extra Care Housing Providers – providers not able to access the 60% mandatory grant.

·       Smaller care homes – as they may face relatively higher costs compared to larger homes.

·       Any CQC registered provider of residential care to adults with a registered location in Rotherham.  This includes larger care homes for older people and under 65 provision.

 

For care homes, the provider will need to have spent (or forecast to have spent due to the timescales of the reporting) their mandatory allocation (60% element).

 

This element will be allocated based on an assessment of the emerging risks, and in line with the wider testing strategy.

 

The providers will be asked to certify the expenditure.

 

Any unspent fund is to be returned to Government.

 

Reasons for the Decision:

 

 

On the 29 March 2021, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) announced the new Infection Control and Testing Fund. This new fund consolidates the existing Infection Control Fund and the Rapid Testing Fund. The Fund is extended until 30 June 2021 and will provide a total of £341million to support Adult Social Care.

 

The Council has been allocated £701,830 from the Rapid Testing Fund round II.

 

Despite the announcement of the consolidation of both Funds, the two grants do have some distinctions in how the monies are to be distributed. Both parts of the Fund are time limited and must be spent between the 1 April 2021 and the 30 June 2021, with clear eligibility criteria.

 

The Council has facilitated the distribution of the specified 60% of the Rapid Testing Fund in accordance with the mandatory grant conditions. If a provider refuses its allocation the funding will be added to the 40% discretionary element, in accordance with the grant conditions. This is recorded via the Record of Officer Executive Decision from the Strategic Director of Adults, Housing and Public Health.  

 

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

 

None considered.

That 30% (£305,000) of the discretionary element of the funding be distributed as set out below.

 

A range of organisations will be given the opportunity to bid for a grant from the discretionary fund.

 

These organisations are:

 

·       Day opportunity services (including micro-enterprises) and other providers who haven’t been able to access the mandatory element of the grant.

·       Care homes and supported living services for people who are under 65.

·       Any other Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered service who are operating in Rotherham.

 

This element will be allocated based on the applications which are received, and if the criteria for the grant will be met.

 

The applications from non-CQC registered services will be considered as a higher priority. The CQC registered providers will be expected to have forecast to have spent their allocation of the mandatory grant.

 

The providers will be asked to certify the expenditure.

 

Any unspent fund will be returned to Government.

 

Reasons for the Decision:

Brief Description of Decision:

 

 

That the Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment authorises, in line with Contract Standing Orders Section 34 Delegation Arrangements, the tender submitted by William Birch on 25th March 2021 for the construction of a new classroom block at Aston Academy.

Reasons for the Decision:

 

 

 

On 17th December 2018 (minute number 71), Cabinet approved a report to increase the capacity of Aston Academy and replace the temporary classrooms and gymnasium.

The school has experienced a significant increase in pupil numbers in recent years.

The School is over-subscribed and the trend is set to continue for future years.

There are also four temporary classrooms and a school gymnasium with changing rooms on site which have a temporary planning consent as they are located on Green Belt land. These resources were installed as an interim solution as Aston Academy was to be rebuilt under the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) Project. Although BSF was cancelled in 2010, the temporary classrooms and the gymnasium still needed to be replaced as part of previous planning conditions.

The project is to replace the temporary classrooms, gymnasium and to provide five additional classrooms, including the demolition of the Charles T Broughton swimming pool, which was demolished earlier this year.

Management decision.

Brief Description of Decision:

 

 

Approval of allocation of COVID Local Support Grant from DWP in accordance with the priorities agreed by Cabinet at its meeting of 10th December 2020 for the use of COVID Winter Grant.

 

Reasons    for      the

Decision:

 

 

A new allocation of £237,034 COVID Local Support Grant has been from the Department of Work and Pensions. The funding is provided for the same uses and under the same conditions that applied to the previous COVID Winter Grant. 

 

In order to ensure that the COVID Local Support Grant is spent within the permitted timeframe and the benefits realised by Rotherham families, proposals have been developed to allocate the grant in accordance with the priorities previously agreed by Cabinet. This involves extending and enhancing the established provision including food vouchers for children eligible for free school meals for the school holidays in May. The vouchers, as before, would be on the basis of £15 per week or £3 per day for each eligible child and further support for school clothing to children eligible for free school meals

The indicative allocation required to provide food vouchers for children eligible for free school meals is £193,000. This leaves a balance of circa £40,000 for school clothing support to equal the full grant allocation. 

For vouchers to be made available ahead of the 3 May bank holiday, a decision is required early in the week commencing 26 April. 

 

Owing to the need to agree the allocation of the COVID Local Support Grant within a short timescale, and there being no member meetings at this time, an Officer Delegated Decision is sought. The Leader of the Council and been consulted as approves of the recommended course of action.

 

This will be reported to Cabinet in the next financial update by the Director of Finance and Customer Services (s151).

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

 

The option considered and recommendations conform to the grant conditions set by DWP and the priorities previously agreed by Cabinet.

Strategic Director of Adult Care, Housing and Public Health

 

Specific Delegation:

(If any)

 

Non-specific

Brief Description of Decision:

 

 

1)    Anyone eligible for the interim NHS hospital discharge funding scheme that commenced in March 2020 will not be expected to make client care contribution costs until 12 April 2021

 

2)    Anyone who has been already assessed and who has moved off the interim NHS funding, and has been making a financial contribution towards their care costs will be reimbursed their full client care contribution costs from the date they became eligible for the NHS funding until 11 April 2021 – inclusive.

 

3)    No back dated client contribution charges will be applied for anyone whose care services were incorrectly recorded as interim NHS funding codes but who were not eligible for the scheme.

 

4)    Anyone eligible to make a client contribution, and who still on the NHS funding scheme will become liable for their client care contribution cost from 12 April 2021

 

Reasons for the Decision:

 

 

As a result of the COVID19 pandemic interim NHS funding was introduced in March 2020 to facilitate timely discharges from hospital.

 

The new process for hospital discharge (and associated funding) created additional work as not everyone discharged on these schemes would have required a full reassessment under normal circumstances. Due to the additional workload there have been delays in completing the required assessments and updating the social care system.  The Council’s Charging Policy is that client contributions are backdated in line with the start date for care.  In this case this would mean backdating to the date of transition (assessment date) when NHS funding ceases and local funding arrangements resume.

 

At the point the NHS discharge funding ends, client contributions become payable if determined by an assessment. This could result in backdated charges arising.

 

The Council’s charging policy was designed for “business as usual” circumstances and does not account for the impact of a pandemic.  The decision not to charge during the period of delay ensures that people are treated fairly in the exceptional circumstances that have occurred. 

 

Is in accordance with the principles set out in the government guidance “Responding to COVID-19: the ethical framework for adult social care” Published 19 March 2020.

 

Due to the urgency of the decision the Leader used the authority invested him as ‘senior executive member’ under section 9E Local Government Act 1972 to authorise that the Strategic Director -Adult Care, Housing and Public Health should take this decision. It also complies with the Constitution at 7(6) special urgency due to the nature of the decision

 

A report will be made to Cabinet at its meeting on 21 June that will set out the decision taken and the reasons for the procedure that was used to take the decision.

 

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

 

1)    To backdate client charges to the transition date in line with Council’s charging policy on charging from the service start date.

 

2)    To charge from the date of review (assessment date).
