The minutes of the Streetwise Oversight Board meeting on 29 November 2021 were approvedas atrue record.

The Chief Executive attends Streetwise Board Meetings. Transition Project Board meetings are taking place and meetings with Streetwise staff and union representatives are being held.

Various strands of work reviewing different aspects of the transition are progressing, including discussions with the Streetwise Board Secretary, Paul Emmerson, who has worked with Streetwise Environmental Ltd since its inception.

The proposal to appoint additional directors to the Streetwise Board was presented. One option would be to appoint Kath Marriott and Peter Linfield as Directors. There is also the option of appointing the Borough Council as a Corporate Director, with the requirement that there also be a named person.

The Chief Executive, Kath Marriott, proposed that she be the named person. Liability would sit with her as Director which would be covered by insurance of Rushcliffe Borough Council.

Liability insurance would apply retrospectively for any Directors who leave the Streetwise Board.

The Chairman and Peter Linfield declared an interest and did not vote on the item.

It was RESOLVED that:

Streetwise Oversight Board agreed for Rushcliffe Borough Council to be appointed as a Streetwise Board Director, with Kath Marriott as the named person.

It was noted that Rushcliffe Borough Council could nominate someone to represent it on the Streetwise Board, which would likely be Peter Linfield.

The proposal for Streetwise Oversight Board to delegate authority for reserved matters was presented. It was proposed that authority be delegated to Peter Linfield representing Rushcliffe Borough Council Director, and to Kath Marriott in consultation with Rushcliffe Borough Council Leader, Cllr Simon Robinson.

The delegated authority would allow them to make decisions and take necessary actions as required.

An audit trail for any decisions taken would be recorded and retained for records.

It was RESOLVED that:

Streetwise Oversight Board agreed to delegate authority for Reserved Matters to Peter Linfield representing Rushcliffe Borough Council Directorand Kath Marriott, in consultation with Cllr Simon Robinson.

It was confirmed that Rushcliffe Borough Council would retain the Streetwise Environmental Ltd name, branding and trademark.
