Minutes: Considered – Report of the Chief Executive (Interim).
Recommendation to Council
That Council agree the following:
i) To lead the development of a Public Service Hub for Ryedale, as the principle location for Ryedale District Council services, with the aim of vacating Ryedale House by Autumn 2020, and committing £2.5m from the NHB reserve to the Capital Programme for the delivery of this scheme.
ii) That £275,000 of this allocation be used to support the development of a scheme on the site of the current Community House and adjacent land as the preferred option, to completion of RIBA stage 4 (Technical Design). The decision to appoint a contractor and commence to construction would be a further decision of Council.
iii) To participate in the North Yorkshire Property Partnership, utilising the resources available through the NYPP, from the One Public Estate (OPE) programme, to support the development of the Public Service Hub for Ryedale.
iv) That Members agree to a budget of up to £50,000 allocated from the general reserve for improvements to Ryedale House in the areas in which staff are currently working and the common areas to make the building more suitable for staff whilst a new Public Service Hub is being developed.
v) That a Car Park Strategy for Ryedale be commissioned in partnership with North Yorkshire County Council, with a budget of £75,000 to be allocated from the general reserve.
vi) That Members commit to working in partnership with the Milton Rooms Management Committee to enable the utilisation of the Milton Rooms for meetings of Council when the Council has relocated from Ryedale House, and that the capital allocation already agreed be used to support the improvements, regardless of the outcome of the bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund.
vii) In agreeing that Ryedale House (RH) will be vacated by the Council and its tenants, Members support the development of detailed feasibility studies for housing development on the Ryedale House site, utilising both the OPE and Homes England funding. A further report will be brought to members when the feasibility work on the RH site and any available adjacent sites, has been developed.
