Decision details

At its meeting on 18 March 2020, the Council received a report to enable it to adopt a revised scheme of officer delegations that reflect the recent revisions to the responsibilities of the Chief Officers, following the organisational re-structure of the Council.
The Council resolved to approve the recommendations in the report that:
1) the Officer Delegations set out in Part 3 of the Council's Constitution be amended in line with Appendix A attached to this report and be adopted with immediate effect.
2) Any consequential amendments as a result of Appendix A be made to the Constitution
3) That authority be delegated to the Chief Executive and Assistant Director – Legal and Democratic Services to make any further amendments to the scheme that are consequential on the current allocation of service responsibilities being revised.

Pursuant to recommendation 3, the Chief Executive and Assistant Director – Legal and Democratic Services are asked to add Trading Standards to delegations to the Executive Director of Operations, to reflect the arrangements that have been in place since recruitment to that post.
