RECOMMENDED:     1)        
That the list of portfolio responsibilities be noted.
2)         That the
portfolio responsibility for ICT be changed to the Business
Portfolio.
3)         That a
sentence be added in the explanatory notes for portfolio holder
delegations: “That the Portfolio Holder for Finance must be
consulted in transactions which will result in expenditure over
£250,000.”
4)         That the
amended Scheme of Delegation be approved as a change to the
Constitution by Council.
5)         That
delegated authority be granted to the Monitoring Officer to amend
the scheme of delegation should changes be made to the areas of
responsibility of Cabinet Members.
 
Reason for Decision
To ensure the scheme of
delegation is in line with the portfolio areas of responsibility,
to permit changes in portfolio areas of responsibility to be
reflected in the Scheme of Delegation, and to ensure the Portfolio
for Finance is aware of large amounts of expenditure above
budget.
