Decision details

The report of the Head of Audit was submitted, advising Executive of the Council’s risk management progress and seeking approval to the updated corporate risk register.

Scrutiny Committee – Resources considered the report at its meeting of 24 March 2010 and their support and comments were noted.  Executive noted the Committee’s support for the City Council’s case that it should receive a full financial settlement from Devon County Council in respect of any additional costs that the City Council would incur by the transfer of waste to Heathfield. The Director Community and Environment reported that Devon County Council had agreed to cover all “reasonable” costs in respect of the transfer of waste to Heathfield. However the County Council was in the process of seeking planning permission for a site in closer proximity, to the east of Exeter, and it was likely that the agreement would need to be re-negotiated.    It was hoped to avoid an expensive, long and uncertain arbitration process.

Executive approved the annual Corporate Risk Register.
