REASONS FOR DECISION Clause Samples

REASONS FOR DECISION. In reaching my decision on a request for an increase in allowable annual cut to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, I have considered all of the factors presented to me, and I have reasoned as follows. An increase in allowable annual cut is based upon the increment in short-term harvest flow attributable to the innovative forestry practices and activities. These innovative forestry practices and activities are identified in the Forestry Plan, that I have previously approved, and have been or are being carried out by the IFPA holder in accordance with the Forestry Plan. The original 25 June 2001 application for an AAC increase implied that the improved site index information was the sole innovative practice considered for the AAC increase application. However, upon review of the application and associated timber supply analysis I consider the new deer winter range and VRI phase 2 sampling to be identified innovative practices and activities under the Forestry Plan. I have discussed previously my reasons for including the effects of these innovative activities in my AAC increase determination.

REASONS FOR DECISION. 4.1 Recycling and how ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ manages waste has come a long way since 2002 when just 2% of our household waste was recycled. Over the past 10 years ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has implemented one of the most comprehensive recycling services in London. Our household recycling, food waste recycling, recycling on-the-go and garden waste services to date have resulted in approximately 24% of our household waste being is recycled or composted. However, this level of performance falls short of the national target of 50% recycling by 2020 and a significant step change is required. Also, the cost of managing and disposing of waste generated within ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is due to rise significantly in the coming years. The NLWA household levy will be £4.8m in 2012/13. This figure is significantly assisted by the use of a budget surplus this year. Officers expect an increase in 2013/14 of over 52%. In addition to this, further increases are expected as the NLWA adopts menu pricing as part of the payment mechanism going forward so that Boroughs pay for the treatment of waste and recyclables by waste-stream. 4.2 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ adopted the North London Joint Waste Strategy (NLJWS) in July 2008. This is our statutory waste strategy, and we have worked together with the NLWA to procure a long term waste treatment contract. As part of this and the wider strategy we now need to confirm our borough waste collection methodology and estimated tonnages. It is right to review our position at this stage as the NLWA procurement reaches a critical and final part of the process and boroughs come together on the IAA. Decisions are required that will have long term operational and financial implications. Delay or uncertainty at this stage will lead to additional costs and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ falling short of necessary recycling performance. 4.3 Under Cabinet approved delegated authority, officers have provided the NLWA with a schedule stating Hackney’s collection current methodology including the provision of a source separated service to street based households. The schedule also allows for two stream recycling on estates. 4.4 This report recommends an alternative approach to the way in which dry recyclables are collected in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and as a consequence, the submission of a Part B schedule to the NLWA. The change is considered necessary to maximise recycling performance and provide a sustainable, efficient and cost effective service. The evidence for this proposed change has been gathered over a considerable period, firstly through a ...

REASONS FOR DECISION. Background: [1] International Union of Operating Engineers Hoisting and Portable and Stationary, Local 870 (the “Union”) was designated by the Board in an Order dated February 1, 2002 (LRB File No. 006-02) as the certified bargaining agent for a unit comprising all employees of Rural Municipality of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ No. 5 (the “Employer”) except administrators, administrative assistant and building inspector.

REASONS FOR DECISION. The current crisis has resulted in significant financial challenges for many of the council’s HTST providers, most of whom are heavily dependent on school runs for their financial viability. It is essential that firms are supported where necessary, so they can survive the impact of the crisis and resume the essential service they offer as soon as schools re- open. As this decision has been subject to delay, there is need to resolve increasing uncertainty and anxiety amongst operators, and to prevent key staff leaving firms, either through redundancy or to via employment in other driving jobs or as key workers. This is a threat to the continuity of an essential statutory service when schools re-open, as recruitment of Vehicle Passenger Assistants, in particular, is extremely challenging. Challenges remain post-recruitment also in terms of lead-in time, as all transport staff have to have an enhanced DBS, which can ▇▇▇▇ ▇-8 weeks or more to obtain, and also to have training in managing special needs and disabilities. Recruitment issues and the long lead-in time post-recruitment could compromise arrangements for September. The over-riding interest of the council in terms of supplier relief is to ensure the sustainability of services for September and onwards, and it has been determined the following relief will need to be offered to HTST suppliers ‘at risk’: Payment for:  All journeys being undertaken currently  All fixed costs that cannot be reclaimed elsewhere  Full payment for the salaries of Vehicle Passenger Assistants, as they are considered a vulnerable workforce (see below)  Payment to ‘top-up’ the salaries of drivers and other staff on the furlough scheme or receiving self-employment pay (government schemes pay 80% of income up to a limit and the council would then pay the remaining 20% up to the same limit)  In addition, on a case by case basis, the council will consider any exceptional costs that may need to be incurred to ensure the sustainability of individual providers. No payment will be made for the profit element of business, for costs not incurred (fuel etc) or for staff pay which can reasonably be reclaimed via government schemes (with the exception of VPAs as above). Any grants or other forms of relief obtained through government schemes will be subtracted from relief offered by the council. The council is proposing to support salaries of this group of staff in full without requiring firms to furlough, or require them to access the go...

REASONS FOR DECISION. 4.1. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Council and the City of London Corporation are legally required to:- a) ensure provision of mandated public health services b) improve the health and wellbeing of their local population and c) to have appointed a Director of Public Health.

The costs of providing this service are met from a ring-fenced public health provided by the Department of Health and Social Care and there are no additional budgetary implications of this proposal. 4.4. The Council has the legal power to promote well-being under the power of the general competence of the Localism Act 20111 and may: - a) Enter into arrangements or agreements with any person or body. 1 ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇/ukpga/2011/20/contents/enacted b) Co-operate with, or facilitate or co-ordinate the activities of, any person or body. c) Exercise on behalf of that person or body any functions of that person or body.

REASONS FOR DECISION. To secure the transfer of LEP functions from the external company structure of SEMLEP into local authority management in accordance with government guidance issued in August and December 2023

REASONS FOR DECISION. The Government are proposing this change to all Local Authorities as part of 5 year plan and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Borough Council is included in the final stage of this plan. This is known as the Local Land Charges Programme (LLCP) which will make His Majesty’s Land Registry (HMLR) the sole registering authority and official search provider for Local Land Charges in England and Wales. HMLR will use the Authority’s Data for digitisation, migration and transformation purposes, to support and inform enhancements to HMLR’s LLC Register and support the design and testing of data quality specifications and processes. Additionally, the data will be used to support the procurement of suppliers in connection with the LLC Programme. The Collaboration Agreement (CA) establishes a framework to govern the respective rights and obligations in respect of the LLC Programme. The CA ensures that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Borough Council agrees to collaborate with HMLR to complete the activities required to enable HMLR to become the registering authority for LLC in accordance with Schedule 5 to the Infrastructure Act 2015. The CA and data sharing period is for a maximum of 24 months from the commencement date of the CA.
