1.                       OPERATIONAL PLAN UPDATE

For 2015/16, the Council adopted a new style of Operational Plan. Only the major initiatives are
included in the Operational Plan with day to day “business as usual” activities included in Branch
Plans.

The Branch Plans have all been completed and are being used by Managers to manage day to
day activities. They are an effective tool for ensuring that all of the “business as usual” activities
are undertaken and that any minor projects are followed through.

Details of each Operational Plan project is set out in Attachment 1 with an assessment of
whether the issue in completed, on target or behind schedule. Comments are also provided for
the information of Councillors about the status of each issue. It is important to note that the
comments and assessment of the Operational Plan projects in the attachment are “as at 31
March” i.e. the end of the third quarter.

The table below highlights some specific Operational Plan issues.

Electric Bus Trial                             After terminating the previous supplier contract due to an inability to
                                               deliver the electric buses on time, fresh tenders have been called for
                                               the supply of electric buses for our proposed 6 month trial in
                                               partnership with Translink. Those tenders are currently being
                                               assessed in conjunction with Translink and will be reported to Council
                                               in due course.
