Provision of funding to upgrade fire alarm and door entry system to the Council Office building
Meeting: 11/12/2018 - Cabinet (Item 66)
Report of the Strategic Director of Housing and Customer Services
Presented by the Corporate Portfolio Holder
Minutes:
Councillor N J Rushton presented the report to members, outlining the issues that had occurred during a recent power cut. He felt it was prudent to utilise underspends to bring the planned work (scheduled for 2019/20) forward, which would be beneficial to the operation of the building and safety of staff.
It was moved by Councillor N J Rushton, seconded by Councillor R Blunt and
RESOLVED THAT:
The use of £78k from the forecast underspend in 2018/19 be approved to bring forward the installation of replacement fire alarm and door entry systems to the Council Offices to the current financial year.
Reason for decision: To ensure the office building is protected by resilient and modern security and fire alarm systems, and the risks associated with a failure of either existing system are mitigated.
