There was submitted a report by the Strategic Development Plan Manager relative to a request that Renfrewshire Council continue its role as administering partner in respect of the Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Green Network Partnership (GCVGNP).
The report intimated that Renfrewshire Council, in line with its ‘host authority’ role for the Joint Committee, had agreed to act as the administering partner with responsibility for the employment of the Partnership staff and also act as Treasurer to the Partnership. As the administering partner and for reasons of continuity, it was proposed that Renfrewshire Council be asked to extend this role until 31 March 2018.
The GCVGNP Board oversaw the strategic direction and development of the Green Network programme. A small Executive Team of three full-time members of staff, led by a Manager, were responsible for the development and delivery of the programme and were employed on temporary contracts linked to the period of funding for the Partnership. Funding had been extended until 31 March 2018.
DECIDED:
(a) That it be requested that Renfrewshire Council continue its role as the administering partner for the Green Network Partnership until 31 March 2018; and
(b) That the decision to extend the contracts of employment for the Green Network Executive Team to 31 March 2018 be endorsed.
