Agenda item

To consider a report of the Monitoring Officer on the current scheme of delegation.

Report on supplementary agenda.

The Mayor was of the opinion that this item should be considered as a matter of urgency, by reason of special circumstances, namely that it had been drawn to the authority’s attention that the item referred to at Standing Order 1(7) had been omitted from the agenda, in order to enable the scheme of delegation to be confirmed.

The Monitoring Officer submitted a report seeking confirmation of the current scheme of delegation.

The constitution sets out the principal powers, duties and procedures of the Council, including, in Part 3, to whom decision making over the Council’s various functions was delegated. The current version of the constitution had been approved and confirmed at the Council meeting in October, 2018. This would be updated to reflect the changes that had been made to portfolios at Minute No. 105 above.
