The Leader of the Council approves the Local Restriction Grants Schemes (‘Closed’ & ‘Sector’) and grants the Director of Service Delivery delegated authority, to implement, and if necessary, amend each Policy (in consultation with the Leader). Such delegated authority will include any measures necessary for or incidental to its management and administration.
In accordance with section 17 of the Council’s Policy and Performance Advisory Committee Procedure Rules, the call-in procedure shall not apply to this decision given its urgency. A decision is urgent if, in the view of the decision maker, any delay likely to be caused by the call-in process would, for example, seriously prejudice the Council’s or the public’s interests.
In accordance with this section, it is the opinion of the decision maker that this decision is an urgent one and therefore exempt from call-in.
