A
B
Excuse
me,
my
nomination
cancer
james
going.
My
nomination
is
cancerous
susan,
hinchcliffe.
D
Thank
you
very
much.
Obviously
counselor
tim
swift
would
normally
do
this
role,
but
obviously
is
indisposed
today.
So
I'm
happy
to
do
that
for
this
meeting
so
welcome
and
thank
you
everybody
to
this
meeting
so
shall
we
just
say
who's
here,
I'm
susan
hinchcliffe,
I'm
leader
of
bradford,
you've
already
introduced
yourself
as
clark
james,
who
are
you.
D
Thank
you
very
much
so
you've
seen
from
that
roll
call
that
we
have
a
mixture
of
councillors
here
in
offices.
It's
just
the
councillors
who
have
a
vote
representing
their
places
in
this
meeting.
So
we've
done
election
of
chair
appeal
against
refusal,
inspection
of
documents.
D
A
D
Thank
you
very
much,
so
anybody
any
declarations
of
interest
for
anything
that's
going
to
be
on
the
agenda
today.
D
E
So
as
you're
aware,
the
2122
lead
city
region,
business
rates
pool
was
designated
by
the
government
to
begin
on
first
of
april
2021
and
it's
operating
this
year
under
the
50
retention
scheme
and
you'll,
be
familiar
with,
with
the
circumstances
of
pooling,
to
note
that
the
major
risk,
then
of
entering
into
a
pooling
arrangement,
is
that
if
the
retained
business
rates,
income
and
associated
grant
income
of
any
member
authority
falls
below
92
and
a
half
percent
of
the
recessed
spending
requirement
at
the
payment
of
any
safety
net
would
not
come
from
central
government.
E
Specifically,
we
have
the
contingent
impact
of
covert
19
on
the
region's
business
rates
tax
base,
which
remains
unclear
particularly
factors
such
as
growth
and
levels
of
relief
for
entry
rates,
relief
and
level
of
collection
of
arrears
for
business
rates.
So
it's
in
this
context,
the
forecast
for
income
for
the
pool
from
any
regional
levy
payments
and
discussed
at
paragraph
four
below
are
going
to
be
considered.
E
The
membership
of
this
year's
pool
consists
of
city
of
bradford
metropolitan
borough,
council
of
calderdale,
harrogate,
borough,
council,
calculus,
council,
leeds
city
council,
the
council
of
the
city
of
wakefield
and
the
city
of
york
council.
E
The
documents
that
you
have
contain
a
draft
memorandum
of
understanding
for
the
pool
which
is
attached
to
appendix
a
in
terms
of
reference
for
the
joint
committee
attached
to
appendix
b.
These
remain
drafted.
We
ratify
them
or
not.
At
this
meeting
today
and
and
one
of
the
recommendations
to
the
committee
is
that
we,
you
classify
those
documents
today,
the
estimated
pool
income
then
for
20
21
22.
E
And
at
in
january
21,
looking
at
everyone's
nndr
forecasts
on
their
ndr1,
we
had
estimated
income
of
4.6
million
for
the
pool
there
was
monitoring,
exercise
carried
out
in
august
2021
and
that
now
estimates
slightly
increased
full
income
of
5.1
million,
reflecting
the
reopening
of
the
economy
in
the
last
few
months,
largely
at
table.
One
on
page
seven
shows
you
the
the
levy
payments
that
each
of
the
levy
paying
authorities
expected
to
contribute
to
the
pool
again.
Paragraph
five
makes
you
aware
of
the
risks
to
that
funding.
E
So
we're
a
levy
pool
under
50
business
rates
retention
and
the
advantages
of
forming
a
pool
are
that
we
retain
those
levy.
Payments
within
the
region
that
would
otherwise
be
paid
to
the
to
central
government.
Estimated
pool
income,
as
we
say,
has
slightly
increased
between
january
estimates
and
the
position
in
august
to
5.1
million
showing
the
table
one
above,
however,
risk
to
the
economy,
particularly
surrounding
the
ongoing
coronavirus
crisis,
continue
to
pose
a
risk
to
business
rates
income
and
to
any
associated
general
fund
income
streams.
E
The
memorandum
of
understanding
for
the
pool
therefore
reflects
that
if
any
authority
falls
into
safety
net,
that
loss
of
income
would
be
met
by
the
retained
labviews
from
the
other
authorities.
If
there
are
not
sufficient
retained
levies
in
the
pool,
the
net
loss
would
be
shared
amongst
all
members
of
the
pool,
including
those
in
safetynet.
E
Local
authorities
will
need
to
continue
to
monitor
the
ongoing
impact
of
covert
19
on
collection
funds
and
to
lobby
government
for
ongoing
support
to
deal
with
this
financial
impact,
should
it
prove
unmanageable,
should
any
such
support
before
coming.
This
may
mitigate
the
extent
to
which
the
pool
is
impacted.
E
E
The
joint
committee
will
be
asked
to
consider
an
approving
principle,
this
distribution
of
funding
from
the
pool
etc
in
table
4..
These
distributions
are
based
on
the
current
pull
methodology
for
2021-22,
which
members
will
recall
are
based
on
50
of
growth
above
the
baseline
for
authorities
and
50
on
population.
E
Moving
on
to
paragraph
seven
on
october-
oh
sorry,
on
the
13th
september
2021,
the
government
emailed
authorities
within
the
scheme,
with
an
invitation
to
pull
for
2022-23,
and
the
government
government
requires
a
response
to
that
invitation
by
the
8th
of
october
so
friday
of
this
week.
If
an
existing
poll
wishes
to
continue
into
2022-23,
the
government
has
asked
the
lead
authority
informed
government
by
that
date
and
submit
government's
document
documents
with
that
confirmation.
E
E
The
figure
work
for
that
alternative
were
distributed
to
direct
finance
for
each
authority,
reach
member
authority
for
some
discussion
and
given
the
short
timeline
to
get
back
to
government
by
the
end
of
this
week,
we
did
contact
them
again
to
ask
whether
we
needed
to
finalize
that
methodology
by
this
friday
and
we've
been
informed
that
we
do
need
to
submit
documents
by
this
friday.
But
should
we
wish
to
alter
that
methodology?
E
We
can
inform
government
by
the
22nd
of
october,
so
we
actually
have
another
couple
of
weeks
to
determine
which
methodology
for
distribution
we
want
to
to
go
with.
But
we
do
need
to
let
government
know
by
this
friday
whether
we
wish
to
continue
with
the
pulling
arrangement
and
all
members
wish
to
continue
to
be
in
the
pool.
E
E
D
So
it
sounds
like
we'll
do
that
on
email,
also,
obviously,
by
this
friday,
we
have
to
decide
whether
to
continue
with
it
or
not.
But
obviously,
as
you
said
earlier
in
the
report,
there's
lots
of
things
that
are
influx
nationally
at
the
moment
and
what
kind
of
scope
is
there
for
review
after
this
friday?
If
things
change.
E
So
members
can
make
the
decision
by
this
friday
to
to
continue
to
pull
for
22-23.
E
There
is,
then,
the
opportunity
for
any
member
to
decide
to
withdraw
from
that
polling
arrangement
within
28
days
of
the
provisional
local
government
settlement.
However,
should
any
member
decide
to
withdraw
during
that
period,
then
the
pool
cannot
continue,
there's
no
opportunity
to
reconstitute
the
pool
and
continue
without
that
number.
D
A
Thank
you
chair
just
a
couple
of
questions.
I
appreciate
that,
like
every
authority
we've
been
asked
to
anticipate
grants
and
expenditure
in
a
very
uncertain
world,
so
it's
understanding
how
long
we
have
to
allocate
this
with
the
benefit
of
additional
information
as
the
empty
shops
and
other
things
work
through
the
system
without
the
threat
of
claw
back
from
government,
because
we
haven't
allocated
quickly
enough.
A
So
it's
it's
understanding
the
timeline
for
this,
and
appreciating
that
the
democratic
decision
is
taken
in
the
in
the
budget
process
in
effect,
so
that
that's
that's
the
way
that
it
is
visible
to
members
of
the
public
and,
finally,
that
there's
no
financial
advantage
to
an
authority
withdrawing
because
all
of
this
money
would
just
disappear
back
to
central
government.
So
we
none
of
it
would
be
held
locally
and
therefore
there's
there's
no
advantage
to
pulling
out
thanks.
E
In
terms
of
how
long
do
we
have
to
make
the
decisions
to
spend
the
money
and
how
certain
are
we
as
to
how
much
money
the
pool
will
have
we?
We
don't
have
to
make
all
of
those
decisions
at
this
point
in
the
year
we
can
decide
to
spend
throughout
the
year
as
we
move,
but
we
have
to
make
the
decisions
by
the
year
and
right
by
the
31st
of
march
next
year.
E
So
we'll
we'll
continue
to
monitor
and
we
may
see
the
estimates
change
as
we
continue
to
monitor,
and
that
may
then
influence
our
decisions.
We
may
want
to
be
cautious
and
not
allocating
full
at
this
point
in
time
and
then
take
a
view
later
in
the
year
when
we
feel
more
certain.
D
In
the
times
of
straight
and
public
finance,
I'm
not
sure
we
can
hold
on
to
money
just
cash
in
the
bank
with
to
see.
Can
we,
I
suppose,
that's
an
issue.
Council
lewis
and
casa
scullion.
C
I
think
I
think
quite
useful
so
far
to
understand.
First
of
all
that
we
recognizing
all
the
uncertainty,
we
don't
have
to
make
decisions
about
spending
right
now,
but
it's
a
very
convincing
point
that
came
out
from
council
while
his
contribution
that
there
is
no
advantage
to
not
to
not
agree
in
the
pool-
and
I
think
that's
a
something
we
all
need
to
understand
when
it
comes
to
the
recommendations.
B
Thank
you
castle.
Thank
you.
I
absolutely
agree
with
the
points
that
have
been
made.
I
think
we
are
being
asked
today
to
a
proven
principle
and
we're
certainly
very
happy
happy
to
do
that,
and
we
won't
know
until
we
get
the
local
government
settlement
and
the
details
what
it
is,
we're
actually
allocating
in
terms
of
the
the
full
amount-
and
I
was
reassured
by
the
part
in
the
paper
about
the
calculations
in
the
safety
net
and
councilor
waller
is
right.
We
don't
know,
but
you
know
these
are
really.
B
I
think
I
know
in
our
our
own
case,
really
quite
careful
calculations,
so
I
think
that
when
we're
not
likely
to
trigger
trigger
that,
so
I'm
very
happy
to
support
the
proposed
decision
in
terms
of
the
allocations
and
principle
and
also
the
continued
involvement
in
the
business
rates
pool.
Thank
you,
chair.
C
Thank
you,
chair
just
to
agree
with
everything's
been
said
and
to
move
the
recommendations.
I
feel
it
will
be
our
last
year
as
a
member
of
the
business
rights
pool,
because
the
government
has
seen
fit
to
abolish
this
next
year,
but
it's
been
great
fun
and
we'd
love
to
do
it
for
another
year,
happy
to
move.
