Scrutiny
Considerations
The Committee received a report from the Head of Strategic
Housing. The report stated that the Cambridgeshire Home Improvement Agency
(HIA) had been in operation for three years as a shared service between the
City Council, South Cambridgeshire District Council and Huntingdonshire
District Council and would terminate at the end of March 2016.
The report presented the options to renew the partnership
agreement and to also consider East Cambridgeshire District Council (ECDC) as a
new partner.
In response to questions from the Committee, the Head of
Strategic Housing stated the following:
i.
If ECDC joined the HIA, the terms on which ECDC
could join would be controlled by the partnership and any redundancy issues
would be picked up by ECDC.
ii.
The share of work undertaken by the HIA was
divided up so that Huntingdonshire District Council undertook 50% of the work,
both South Cambridgeshire District Council and the City Council undertook 25%
each.
The Committee:
Resolved
unanimously to approve the recommendation.
The Executive Councillor for Housing approved the
recommendations.
