Terry Brentlinger stated that the first weekend in October is tournaments at the Park and after that he would let Pat know when he can winterize the park. The Fiscal Officer reported on the following: The OML has asked that we pass a Resolution asking the Ohio Governor to consider returning some of the state Budget Surplus money back to the municipalities since we have continued to lose funding over the past couple years. The OML alerted all municipalities about the HB5 on the Municipal Income Tax reform. Reported that the 1.6 renewal fire levy that one of the council members saw in the paper is for the South West Fire District only. Reported that everything is now straightened out with the Logan County Sheriff’s Department and they will be citing all residents under Village codes rather than ORC codes. Reported that the 67th annual OML Conference will be coming up in Columbus in October in case anyone cares to attend. Reported that the alley off of the lot on Harrison Street that owner Terry Camper inquired about does have utilities running through one of the two alleys that he would like to vacate. Mr. Camper brought in a letter signed by the adjacent owner agreeing to have the alley vacated. Village Admin Pat Parish did not oppose vacating the alleys as long as we have an easement for our utilities. She will contact the Solicitor to start the process. Reported that the signed BJAAM documents have been returned to the Village.

Occupational health and safety The human resource strategic safety program, underpinned by Council’s Occupational Health and Safety Management System, will seek to maintain annual reductions in incidents that result in staff injuries and lost work time. Asset management Council owns a significant number of assets such as roads, footpaths, community halls and parks so that Council can deliver services to the community. In order to sustainably and responsibly manage these assets, Council has developed an Asset Management Strategy. A central part of the Asset Management Strategy is the development of asset management plans for each class of asset: Roads Facilities Open space Drainage Plant Equipment Furniture A large proportion of Council assets were constructed between the 1950s and 1970s. Many of these assets are at the end of their lifespan and will require renewal or replacement in the near future. The challenge facing Local, State and Commonwealth Governments will be how to fund these works. Council continues to implement related strategies, including the Integrated Transport Plan, Road Safety Plan, Open Space Strategy and the Community Facilities Plan to ensure the renewal and upgrading of existing assets. An Asset Management system and asset management plans are being implemented for roads, footpaths, drainage and buildings to assist in managing assets for present and future generations.

opportunities for their graduates to work here and vice versa; as well as to assist in raising standards in animal health and welfare. Those that they met with included: TANUVAS (Chennai vet school) including the VC and all Heads of Department; President of (BSAVA equivalent) and SAPAC President in Tamil Nadu; DG ICAR and team – the workshop that they ‘hijacked’ had representatives from all of the veterinary colleges in attendance; JN University; British Council and High Commission; Secretary General of Commonwealth (3 months retired). During the visit, they saw how Indian veterinary education and profession worked, that there was interest in many areas including: obtaining help in an expanding small animal area sector; interest in working with VNs; as well as the RCVS activity in relation to evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM). Background: 90,000 vets on the Veterinary Council of India Register; 44 vet schools with a minimum of 80 graduates annually; the veterinary education course had recently been extended from 5 years to 5½ years; registration and regulation was at state level whereas education was at national level; the veterinary profession had a somewhat lower ‘status’ in India compared to the UK but was still a trusted profession; huge on agriculture but increasingly on companion animals; small animal technicians were keen to meet with them – the 4 colleges in Chennai were particularly keen to work with the RCVS; in turn the RCVS would be quite keen to have some kind of forum to find out what was their focus; there was no shortage of caseload and there were very good facilities; whilst encouraging, the College would need to find out more about the standards and facilities of all 44 veterinary schools; a ‘two-centre’ trip – at Chennai and then on to Delhi. Going forward there would be some challenges/matters for consideration: had been listed at 142nd in surveys assessing how easy it was to do business in countries around the world. Recently this had improved to 130th, so it was improving albeit slowly; multiple agencies were involved in decision making and the RCVS needed to understand where decisions were made; State based registration and professional conduct, nationally based education standards. Opportunities: India was rapidly changing with global impact; would provide a 1.3bn (people) global market for the RCVS brand;

The problem: A lion was seen near School. Excited and scared kids reported the sighting to the teacher on recess duty who immediately sent the kids into the school. The school was put on lockdown until parents arrived to pick up students. The local citizens in the neighborhood are anxious about the safety of their families. The traveling circus reported to the city police that Larry the Lion has been missing from his cage for last three days. Why did they not report the matter earlier? The school is requesting the city increase patrols in the area during school. Students are frightened and teachers are worried how school will occur each day while the Larry the Lion is on the prowl in the neighborhood. Teachers are concerned about the safety of the students during recess, and the principal is worried that school may need to be on continuous lock down until the lion is captured. School’s Emergency Response Team is called into action. The city animal control officer is concerned that his truck is not adequate for a real lion, and he hasn’t been trained to capture wild African animals, like a lion, so his office calls the Department of Wildlife. The TV reporters, the city, and neighbouring city newspapers are interviewing local government officials about the solutions or the strategy that is being considered to capture the lion. The circus owners of Larry the Lion are extremely upset and nervous that Larry has escaped. They want Larry back and do not want him harmed in any way. They are offering to help local law enforcement to help find Larry because they know him best. They want to be the first to find him. Larry is the star of the circus; without Larry the circus would not be successful. What will they say about capturing Larry? Will they mention that Larry escaped while uncaged? What will their plan be to capture Larry? The police chief has called for an emergency meeting of public safety groups in the area. The police is concerned that the lion might travel to nearby farmlands looking for food. The surrounding rural areas are managed by the county. The police chief knows this matter is not just a city problem. Is the whole disctrict in danger? A plan must be put into place immediately. The mayor will listen to anyone who might have a solution to the problem.

STRATEGIC AND CRITICAL SERVICE INDICATORS Service Performance Indicator Good Is Previous performance (2016/17) Current performance (2017/18) Bench mark Commentary Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 actual Q1 target Year-end Target CHILDRENS FAMILIES AND ADULTS DIRECTORATE Education & Early Years Reduce permanent exclusions in primary schools (academic year to date) 11 RED 1 GREEN 4 GREEN 12 RED 16 (0.04%) RED 10 8 (approx. 0.02%) 0.02% (2014-15) 16 permanent exclusions equates to 0.04% of the school population. This is an increase from the previous year. Whilst published national data exists only to academic year, evidence gathered from South West Authorities and the wider Association of Directors of Children's Services group indicates that the rate of exclusions is a cause for concern regionally. Latest South West benchmarking data shows Cornwall as joint second lowest of five South West authorities in respect of permanent exclusions in Primary schools.

It is slightly above the ambitious target set at the start of the academic year, but is below the figure of 61 at the same point last year. Latest South West benchmarking data shows Cornwall as joint second lowest of five South West authorities in respect of permanent exclusions in Secondary schools. 2016
