The Standing Orders Appendix F - Scheme of Delegation outlines how the Isles of Scilly Council authorises its officers to make decisions and act on its behalf. It defines key officer roles, such as the Head of Paid Service and Section 151 Officer, and specifies which functions they can perform. The scheme details general delegations to Chief Officers and Strategic Directors for managing services, including spending decisions, subject to council policies and financial regulations. It also covers specific delegations for areas like staff appointments, property transactions, legal proceedings, and planning matters. In emergencies, the Chief Executive has broad powers to incur expenditure, with provisions for waiving certain financial rules.
