Agenda and draft minutes

To approve a revised scheme of delegation of executive functions to officers for the 2016/17 Municipal Year.

1.         Purpose

1.1       To approve a revised scheme of delegation of executive functions to officers for the 2016/17 Municipal Year.

2.         Background

2.1       Under the Leader and Cabinet Executive model adopted by the Council, which came into effect on 9^th May 2011, the Leader of the Council has the authority to approve a scheme of delegation of executive functions to officers.

2.2       On 19^th May 2016 Council approved the scheme of delegation of non-executive functions (Parts 1, 3 and 4 of the Scheme of Delegation to Officers) and the Leader of the Council approved the scheme of delegation of non-executive functions (Part 2 of the Constitution). 

2.3       Since then the Head of Environmental Partnerships has retired from the Council.  This post has been deleted and the role and responsibilities have been split between the Head of Community Services and the Head of Regeneration and Housing.  The scheme of delegation needs to be updated to reflect these changes to ensure that officers act with correct delegated authority.  An updated Part 2 of the scheme of delegation is attached for approval.

3.         Decision

3.1       I approve the revised scheme of delegation of executive functions to officers for the Municipal Year 2016/17, as attached.

3.2       I also confirm the delegated power to Cabinet to delegate executive powers to officers.
