Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decisions:

Further to minute (25/6/09) when officers were authorised to work up proposals for Wirral Council as part of a Liverpool City Region bid to the national Future Jobs Fund, the Deputy Chief Executive/Director of Corporate Services submitted a progress report on the detail and subsequent outcome of the bid submission to the Department of Work & Pensions (DWP), and sought authorisation to accept the Terms & Conditions of the Grant Offer.

 

The formal offer letter from Knowsley Council (as Lead Accountable Body for the Liverpool City Region Bid) had only recently been received and the Director therefore updated his report in light of the final figures set out in the offer letter.

 

The Chair referred to an email received from Unison seeking an undertaking that there would be no implications for the council’s existing workforce and that any new jobs would be additional employment opportunities.

 

Resolved – That Cabinet:

 

(i)  accept the Grant Offer Letter and its terms & conditions for the Future Jobs Fund;

 

(ii)  delegate authority to the Deputy Chief Executive/Director of Corporate Services to respond within the scope of the DWP/KMBC Grant Offer Letter and Terms & Conditions to emerging issues as necessary for the implementation and delivery of the Future Jobs Fund programme
