Decision

That the Officer Scheme of
Delegation be amended as follows
 

Limitations on delegations to the Chief Executive,
Directors and Divisional Directors, Heads of Service and all other
officers
 

2.3

All
decisions shall be in accordance with the Constitution, the Policy
Framework of the Council and any other
Policy of the Council which has been approved by
Members.  Whether or not any
decision or action falls within the Policy Framework may, if
necessary, be determined by the Council.  However, no decision or action shall be taken by
any employee if the Monitoring Officer reasonably considers it to
be contrary to the Policy Framework or
contrary to a Policy approved by Members.
(Note:  This limitation shall not
apply to decisions connected to the Council’s emergency
response and/or recovery in relation to any matters which deal with
civil protection.  The emergency
response shall be triggered by the Local Resilience Forum declaring
a major incident.  Decisions connected
to emergency response and/or recovery shall follow the limitations
on financial delegation arrangements outlined in 2.12
below.)
