To consider a report from the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services, which provides an overview of the refurbishment of Rookwood to enable occupation by Children’s and Families Teams, to set out the proposed procurement and delivery of the scheme, to identify the funding arrangements, and to seek an approval in principle for contribution by the County Council.
Minutes:
The Panel considered
a report from the Director of Culture, Communities and Business
Services (item 8 in the minute book) regarding refurbishment at
Rookwood and to recommend approval by the Executive Member for
Commercial Strategy, Property and Estates.
Officers summarised the report, emphasising that Rookwood was the
most appropriate location for the Children’s and Families
teams, with the Music Service relocating.
During questions, Members learned that there was no requirement to
consult with Eastleigh Borough Council as there was not a change of
use to the building, and an asbestos survey had been done before
going out to tender for the project.
RESOLVED
The Panel recommended that the
Executive Member for Commercial Strategy, Estates and
Property:
a) Approve the addition of the proposed capital scheme at Rookwood to the 2021/22 capital programme at a total capital value of £380,000.
b) Approve the capital and revenue funding for the scheme as set out in this report.
c) Approve the project appraisal for the refurbishment of Rookwood as set out in this report.
d) Delegate authority to make the arrangements to implement the scheme, including minor variations to the design or contract, to the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services.
