Officer Decisions
Officers exercise delegated decision making powers in respect of both non-executive and executive functions of the Council.
The present Scheme of Delegation from the Leader of the Council, which sets out how executive functions will be discharged, provides for delegated decision making by officers. Appendix 9 of the Constitution sets out the non-executive functions delegated to officers. All executive functions, other than those reserved by Cabinet, may be discharged by officers.
The Chief Executive and Strategic Directors of the Council have established their own sub-schemes of delegation detailing which and how both non-executive and executive functions will be discharged on behalf of the authority.
Decision records for the discharge of functions by officers are published below. These decision records set out the following information:-
- Date of the decision.
- Decision maker name and job title.
- Specific delegated power (if any).
- Brief description of the decision.
- Reasons for the decision.
- Details of alternative options considered and rejected.
