Decision as recorded
RESOLVED: The Council AGREED to: · Approve the Corporate Plan 2022-25 · Delegate authority to the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Leader of the Council, to make any consequential amendments to the Corporate Plan 2022-25 (Appendix A) following consideration by the Council on 3 March 2022 and prior to publication by 1 April 2022.
The Leader of the Council proposed the new Corporate Plan for 2022/25, which had been developed in tandem with the process for developing and setting the Council’s budget for 2022/23. The Corporate Plan formed part of the strategic policy framework set out in the Council's Constitution and was considered annually by the Council. The document outlined the organisation's strategic policy and performance priorities and also discharged the Councils responsibilities under the Well-being of future generations (Wales) Act 2015. The Corporate Plan was seconded by the Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Education and Skills Councillor Merry. The Lord Mayor advised that two amendments to the report had been received. The Lord Mayor called upon Councillor Taylor to move the first amendment. “The Council is recommended to refer back the Corporate Plan 2022-25 to Cabinet to give further consideration to matters relating to citizen engagement, progress and activity relating to inequality and the Southern Arc, and presentation of current position against targets” The first amendment was seconded by Councillor Berman. The Lord Mayor called upon Councillor Cowan to move the second amendment. “Delete the current wording for the recommendations in the Cabinet Proposal and replace with: This Council is recommended to defer consideration of the Corporate Plan until a future council meeting to enable the Cabinet to bring forward a revised plan in the interim which contains sufficient proposals aimed at helping to address the lack of interaction with Cardiff taxpayers outside of the working day. During the pandemic, the Council should have made a bid for funding from their colleagues in the Welsh Parliament to make the Council more fit for purpose in a fast moving electronic age” The second amendment was seconded by Councillor Robson. The Lord Mayor invited debate on the Corporate Plan and the amendments. The Lord Mayor invited the Leader to respond to the points raised in the debate. The Leader confirmed the amendments were not accepted. The Lord Mayor called for a vote on the first amendment proposed by Councillor Taylor The vote on the first amendment was LOST.

The date of the next meeting in Thursday 17 March 2022 at 4.30 pm
Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
