The Director of Law, HR and Asset Management presented the Planned Property Maintenance (PPM) Programme 2009/10. He commented that the PPM budget was utilised for intermediate property works costing between £10,000 and £100,000 with Facilities Management budgets being utilised for any minor works below £10,000. The Capital Programme separately funded any major works in excess of £100,000 and he indicated that the schemes for boiler replacement and condition surveys were cumulative projects that did not cost in excess of £100,000 for any single project within those categories.

The proposed schemes had been scored against a standard matrix and had been placed in a priority order for action having been checked to ensure that expenditure was only incurred on buildings that had a foreseeable operational life.

Resolved – That the schemes included in the 2009/10 Property Maintenance Programme be approved and officers prepare the schemes and obtain tenders as necessary.
