The Future Arrangements for Repairs and Maintenance

Minutes:

64.1    Sharon Davies introduced this report, highlighting the fact that they were keen to continue engagement and would like to form a working group and enable a “Task & Finish group to be set up.  She stated that the Home group currently worked closely with Officer regarding the contract with Mears,but had a busy agenda and that a separate group which was more appropriate to report to the Area panels was also required. The groups would consist of up to 12 reps as stated on page 34 and that at today’s meeting they would like a nomination from the Central Area panel.  She confirmed that the Group would meet on a monthly basis from March 2019 – April 2020 in order to assist officers in designing the repair service, communication and procurement, which also involved evaluating tenders and would require reps to sign a confidentiality agreement.  Sharon circulated a written briefing handout to reps so that they could nominate a rep at the meeting.

 

64.2    A resident asked whether the monthly meetings were held during working hours and Sharon replied that some people may not be required to attend all meetings which involved reading tenders and therefore it may be possible to split the group up and to have evening meetings at some times, if required.  She also confirmed that reps could be non resident leaseholders.

 

64.3    Resident rep  Jane Thorp – Hanover RA Chair nominated herself and this was seconded.

 

64.4    RESOLVED:  That the Panel voted in Jane Thorp as representative on the Task and Finish group.
