Decision Maker: Deputy City Mayor - Social Care, Health and Community Safety

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To seek approval for the proposed transfer of the Bradgate Park Trust local government pension fund assets and liabilities equally to Leicester City Council and Leicestershire County Council.

Decision:

To approve the transfer of the Bradgate Park Trust’s local government pension fund assets and liabilities equally to Leicester City Council and Leicestershire County Council, on the basis set out in the report and subject to legal approval of the terms of the pass-through admission agreement.

Reasons for the decision:

Recognising the Councils’ joint stewardship of the Trust, to remove the Trust’s pension employer risk and the potential impact on its balance sheet and employer contribution rate, whilst retaining pension scheme entitlement for current members; and to resolve the long-standing wider employer risk for the Pension Fund due to the historic nature of the Trust’s status as a Community Admission Body.

Alternative options:

Not to approve the transfer.
