Issue - meetings

In the absence of the Chairman and Vice-chairman of the Constitution Committee, Cllr Groves referred to the Council decision of 15 May, following a recommendation from the Constitution Committee, regarding the Officer Delegation Scheme. In order to ensure that the Council’s decision-making arrangements properly reflected the emerging officer structure under the management review, it had been resolved that all existing delegations would remain effective pending further review and would accrue to the relevant post holders as appropriate, such arrangements to have effect until 1^st September 2013.

Although the management review was progressing well, it was now apparent that it would not be completed by 1^st September and it was proposed that the deadline be extended to the December meeting of the Council.

RESOLVED

That a report in respect of the above matter be submitted to the 12th December 2013 meeting of the Council and that the arrangements authorised by Council on 15^th May would continue to have effect until 12th December 2013.
